I woke to find the place looking more empty than what it was when we first got here. Since two weeks ago when I first got here my leg has healed up pretty nicely. I've gone for little walks and im starting to run on it now. All i can wonder is whats going on with shay and ryan but of course im too afraid and not to mention shy, to ask. I wandered around a bit.....waiting for something to happen. I realize how quiet its been. Where is everyone? I wander into the hall an take a peek. No one.

I started to panic and rushed out the door i started yelling out

"Ryan!!!!Shay!!!!!"

Nothing but false hope. I knew i never should've trusted shay, she was going to steal him anyway. She did it once before and I should've known she would do it again.

I wandered around aimlessly for hours. I finally decided that i needed to do something....and fast. My leg is good enough to do its job so im going to go and look for them. I grabbed my pack and a few essentials and headed for the railroad. I might as well folliw the railroad it has me going somewhere.

After what felt like days led me to an abandoned cabin. I silently giggled "cabin in the woods oooo scary" to myself. I used to watch movies like that with my mom before this whole thing started. I still remember the day this virus took her away from me, like it was yesterday. I wiped away a forming tear from my eye and walked to the front door of the cabin. I held tightly to my knife you never know what or who could be in there. The windows were blocked off so I couldn't see inside which means someone else might have holed up here for a bit. I took to deep breaths and steadily opened up the door.

What I found inside was absolutely disgusting. I saw animals hanging off the ceiling and walls with their eyes taken out and words carved into them. Maybe some kind of voodoo I thought to myself. The feeling I had was the worst, whatever or whoever did this is probably still around or at least they were not too long ago. I took one last glance around the room and something grabbed my attention. An odd little creature I'm not too sure what it is, it looks a bit like a mix of a rabbit,squirrel, and possum. As I got closer it too had something carved into it and what it was made me cover my mouth in shock.

I WILL FIND YOU CASSIE JANE JOHNSON AND YOU WONT BE HAPPY TO FIND OUT WHAT I WANT!!!!

It was written in the animals blood. I looked around the room, heart racing, blood pumping. I wanted to scream and run away but to where. I didn't know what to do but whoever did this knows who I am and they don't look too happy with me.

After about 30 minutes I finally decided it was time for me to go. I grabbed my things and headed out the door. My hands were pretty shaky as I grabbed the doorknob. I can't concentrate like this, I need somewhere to go, somewhere safe, someone else to protect me...oh Ryan where are you! I soon found an old motel, I never really liked them but I guess it will have to do. I walked inside to find pretty decent rooms. I picked one out and set my things out. I saw a note by the bed and myself as nosy as I am decided to read it

Welcome Cassie, I'm glad you like the room because you better get used to it

P.S ~Don't be afraid I'm just...a friend

If I wasn't scared and creeped out before....then I definitely am now. I heard footsteps behind me and my body went numb. I let the note fall from my hands as someone or something covered my mouth and I got really, really sleepy. And everything went dark.
