Smoke & shadows

5:57 pm

I sit with Tate and bella around the fire we made trying to keep warm .

" hear I figured that we would be hungry " Jason said handing me a bag of sausages.
We all gather around and cook them over the fire .

6:58pm

We have just sat and talked all night it makes me feel closer to everyone even though it's freezing .

" hey this fire wood is going to run out and I don't feel like chopping down a tree and I also don't want to freeze to death" bella says trying to keep warm
" well in me and tates tree house we have some spare wood from when we built it we could just go and get it " Jason says
" okay then let's go " Tate says standing up
" oh I don't think so one of you boys is going to other stays it's getting dark and I don't want someone to have killed us by the time you get back " Heather states
" fine I'll go as well Tate you stay " I say to him as me and Jason walk out the camp site

We walk in silence for ages until we reach the river which we walk across the damaged wooden planks placed across it .

" Jason I don't want things to be weird with us okay " I say finally breaking the silence
" things aren't going to be weird for much longer I'm sorry for what I did I'm just not ready I'm not used to my ex tormenting you so I'm sorry " he says
" it's fine I think I'm back with Tate so I hope that doesn't cause shit " I say
" you were always supposed to be with him " Jason states as we reach the tree house . Jason climbs up and brings down the wood which we split in half and carry . We keep up the weird chat until we hear something or someone scream . I know who it is right away Alice . I look at Jason we drop the wood and run to the location of the scream and it leads us to the river .

"Alice?" I ask the darkness and I hear a moan back I grab Jason's arm as I can see a figure on the ground it's Alice .

"Alice are you okay " I say starting to cry she doesn't respond her body isn't moving . Her throat is slit and there blood everywhere . Then I hear a noise in the bushes be hide me I know it wasn't just me because Jason turned . I stood up and just ran leaving Alice's body be hide . Jason ran with me towards the light of the fire surrounded by tent I run in screaming
"ALICE IS DEAD HER THROAT IS THERE WAS BLOOD S-SHES DEAD " Jason shouted .

Everyone comes out of there tents including Alice .
"Guys what are you's talking about I'm fine I've been in the tent since you've left " Alice states
" but Alice you where there I'm covered in your blood so is Jason " I say
I look down at my hands which are clean . I'm truly confused. I cover my mouth with my hand and I can feel my self tearing up . Tate approaches me putting his hands on my shoulder. I jump with him touching me as I got a fright .

He puts his hands around me and takes me into the tent I'm shaking and not because it freezing .
"Tate she was there " I stutter
" look this forest has away of playing tricks on people just stay in here princess " he says putting me into my sleeping now bag . I roll over and close my eye trying to sleep knowing Tate was there to watch me
