[031] giving in to the hunger

                                        Courtney couldn't stop thinking about what she had seen. And as fucked up as it sounded, Courtney's curiosity towards what has happened to Jackie's forearm bled into something akin to hunger. It had been so long since any of them had properly eaten that she realized just how desperate she was to eat anything.

                                        The darkness had always been within her, and Courtney found herself battling with her monstrous urges. But the longer she was out here in this wilderness, it grew more and more impossible for her to try and hide it.

                                        Courtney was currently sitting up while the others were sleeping. She stared at the front door to the cabin but really, she was thinking about Jackie's body which was still outside. She was hypnotized by the sound of the wind outside which almost seemed to be talking to her. It was slowly getting into her head, preparing her for -.

                                        "Courtney?" Suki softly calls her name.

                                        She snaps out of it, looking over to Suki who sat up and was seemingly waiting for her. Even though Suki had tried her best to get some sleep, she couldn't. For the first time in a long time, Suki couldn't sleep and dream. She was restless, seemingly on edge for some reason. She'd get up and begin walking towards the kitchen area. Courtney glances over at the door once more before she joins Suki's side, hugging her girlfriend close.

                                        "Did you miss me?" Courtney teased. "Were you unable to sleep without me?"

                                        Suki rolled her eyes. "Bold of you to think you're special enough to make me lose sleep."
