The Strange Good Girl

Chapter Seventeen: Interruption

Jason was rather restless the next couple of days. The first night he slept in the same bed as the girl without a problem. The second night he tried kissing her after she had turned the lights off and ended up getting a knee in the groin. He slept in his own room the next few nights.

During the day the girl spent most of her time on the computer while he would play with her skin until she got annoyed with him and he'd go back to the lake until the sun went down and come home and eat dinner with her. She would constantly nag him if he came home dirty or soaked from the rain until he would change into clean clothes.

He had managed to set up several traps in the woods near the house and a few trip lines. The bells to them were on the wall by the back door.

The girl's bruises were now a yellowish brown color and she had taken her stitches out the night before leaving a curved scar on her face. She was washing dishes after dinner and Jason was bored of watching her. Wanting to get her attention he placed a hand on the back of her neck and she dropped the dish she was cleaning back into the sink.

He was surprised when the girl whirled around and pushed him hard up against the counter. She looked up at him with the lustful look in her eyes he'd been longing for all week.

She had been on edge around him all week but she couldn't hold herself back any longer. She just wanted to feel him inside of her again. Pulling herself closer to him she rubbed up against him and slipped her fingers into the top of his pants and began pulling him towards the hallway to her room. Just before she got to her door, one of the bells he put up by the back door jingled loudly.

His hand instantly drew his machete and he jerked the girl's hand off of his pants and headed straight for the door. "You have got to fucking kidding me! Whatever it is you can kill it later! Get back here!" The girl screamed after him but he ignored her and shut the door behind him.

Lisa stood there with her mouth agape staring at the door. She screamed and kicked it leaving a small dent where her boot had hit it. "What the hell?!" She went down the hall and collapsed onto her bed frustrated. Sitting up she pulled the trunk out from beneath her bed and took a dagger out just in case she needed it.

Of course when she finally decides to do something with him something interrupts them. Once she was over her frustration she realized that who or whatever tripped his line must've been rather close to the house. She put her jacket on and tucked the dagger into one of her boots.

Before she went out the back door she replaced the batteries in her flashlight. She was annoyed that he left her there all by herself. He'd been leaving her home alone during the day but that was different. She heard footsteps in the trees in front of her. "Jason?" She shined her flashlight into the trees finding nothing.

She wanted to go into the forest and find him but knew that it probably wasn't the best idea. Turning back towards the house she heard a gunshot not too far into the woods. "What the hell was that?" She slowly turned back towards the trees and without thinking ran into the forest. There was another shot then another.

Jason held a man dressed in all camo by the throat until his body fell limp and dropped him to the ground. He could hear the girl calling for him not too far away. Taking a step towards the girl's screams pain shot through his leg. In his anger to kill the bad man, he forgot about the bear trap the man had thrown at him that was biting at his leg.

The beam of the girl's flashlight hit him and she ran up to him out of breath. "What happened?" She breathed looking down at the man's lifeless body then at his leg. "Are you ok?!" The girl was about to reach for his leg and he grabbed her by the wrist and led her to the other side of him before prying the trap off his leg himself and set it on the ground.
