"So how did you save my life?" Sandra asked. "I killed the man who was about to kill you. There is not much to tell." After that we dropped the topic. In the next ten minutes I learned that Sandra likes to eat wild red-eyed vireo and in the community, that she lived there were 10 people with her.
I figured that I should take Sandra back to her community. Before I got the chance to ask I heard a huge explosion go off! "GET OUT OF THE TREEHOUSE!" I yelled. As Sandra clambered out of the treehouse I grabbed my satchel and as I was climbing down the rope ladder I heard an ear shattering explosion that knocked me off. After I fell the last 20 feet to the ground I looked up and saw that the treehouse was in flames.
Sandra was standing over me with a panicked look on her face trying to get me to get up and run. I couldn't hear or move quickly, and when I finally managed to get off the ground Sandra was pulling me through the woods toward some thick bushes. She pulled me into the bushes, motioned for me to be quiet, and pointed toward a clearing just past the bush. I saw a man and a woman with black ski masks on and matching bulldog tattoos talking. Since I couldn't hear all I could do was wait until they stopped talking.
After about 5 minutes they stopped talking and walked away. I still didn't have my hearing back so I just sat there checking if I still had a heart beat because I couldn't hear it and I watched Sandra pace back and forth and repeat the same phrase over and over. After about 10 minutes I got my hearing back and I heard that Sandra was saying, "I can't believe they found me, I can't believe they found me!"
