 The two of them following closely behind.

"Aunna, what are you going?"

"Are you sure this well even work?" I shrugged my shoulders, glancing at my dad in the front seat. He sat with his head in his hands, down on the wheel. I'm sorry, dad. You've been alone in this, even more than I have. I looked at Jeff, who was looking at dad too.

"Jeff, why don't you go see if he's alright? Clyde, you should go with him." They both gave each other a look, turning back to me with a less than impressed look.

"Not a chance."

"We're going with you." I glared at the two.

"No. You're not." I walked past them both, going to get the containers from earlier. The other two suddenly ran on either sides of me, each grabbing one before I could. I hopped in place for a second, as I tried to run after them.

"Either we go too, or you don't go at all." I looked at Clyde, then to Jeff. I rolled my eyes at them, turning around. I made my way to the path, leading the way up to the Pet Sematary.

"We don't have all day, let's go!" I grumbled, trying to push the pain away that I felt in my leg now that I was walking. I heard them trudge behind me, rushing to hurry after me. We quickly made our way to the back of the cemetery, causing me to stop as we got to the 'keep out' signs.

"Aunna?"

"It this it?"

"Burn the burial sight, kill the Wendigo." I looked beside me, the man I've concluded to be Victor stood there, staring up the branch infested path. I nodded to myself, making my way.

"Aunna, maybe you should let someone else go first."

"Aunna, you really shouldn't be walking this."

"I have too." I felt my foot slip, following backwards before someone caught me quickly. Clyde, almost dropping the container of gasoline.

"Jesus! Are you sure you want to do this?" I stopped, trying to regain balance as he props me upright.

"This is why I told you two to stay behind." They huffed again more behind me, a hand slipping into my own.

"We do this together. You're not on your own anymore." I looked back at Clyde, eyes shifting to Jeff as he nods.

"You're stuck with us now." I smiled at the two, once again trying to push the tears back.

"Well then, let's go boys." I forced my leg up, over a bigger branch that was blocking the path, hissing in pain. I looked up at the sky, it getting darker the longer we walked. Huffing and puffing, all of us trudging up the small, narrow path. Finally making it to the open field like area at the top. I stopped stiffly, scanning over the area.
