Cabin In The Woods

7| Trust me would you?

(Hailey's POV)

Living alone in the woods comes with its responsibilities and one of them is learning how to make remedies. I made a book of all the ingredients I need for different sicknesses. The one for thick mucus is eucalyptus, ginger, cloves and honey. I mix the right amount of all the ingredients together, grab a spoon and walk over to Matthew laying on the couch. He was still struggling to get air in his lungs. I sit on the floor next to the couch and shake Matthew. He opens his eyes.

"Matthew I got medicine. You have to swallow a tablespoon. It might be very disgusting but it really helps almost immidiatly." I tell him.

And there it is again. The fear in his eyes. Why?

"Matthew do you trust me?" I look him straight in the eyes and he closes them.
After a few seconds he gives me a small nod.

"Okay"

I stand on my knees facing Matthew. I put a pillow behind his head to give him support. I scoop some of the sticky stuff in the spoon and put it at his lips. He scrunches his nose because of the smell. It does smell very strong because of the ginger and cloves.
Then he opens his mouth and slowly works the mix downs his troath.

I get up and walk to the kitchen to put the bowl in the sink then walk back over to Matthew. His eyes were open and he was looking around.

"You feeling better?" I ask him.

"Yeah, thanks for taking care of me. I need to go or my people will start worrying about me." He says starting to attempt to get up.

"No no no. Matthew you can't leave yet. You're not strong enough. The mosquitos don't just suck blood, they suck vitamins and energy too. If you start walking now, in 5 minutes you'll pass out. Believe me Matthew, i've been there." I run over to him and make him sit back on the couch.

"Please let me go!" He begs.

"Do you want to die?"

"Not in this house I don't." He says. "Please don't kill me."

"Why would I kill you?" I ask surprised at what he said.

"Because you're crazy!" He says while standing up and backing away from me.
"You're the phsycho girl that lives in the woods. You have a freaking pet wolf!" He screams his voice filled with fear.

As soon as he said those things my heart dropped. Is that really what people think of me? I mean I know they thought that I was crazy but a murderer? I would never kill a soul!

"Matthew" I whisper. I was hurt. "I'm not a phsycho. I'm not crazy. I'm not a murderer."

His look changed but he still had fear in his eyes. He lies down on the couch and closes his eyes. I sit on the floor a little further from the couch.

"If your not a phsycho, then why did I see you on the news threatning to murder and the news crew. With the fox by your side?" Matthew asks with his eyes still closed.

"I was trying to protect myself."
