Smoke & shadows

29

Jason and I walk through the forest in silence to scared to make a sound . It's starting to get lighter which mines we've walked through this forest all night . I stair off into the distance and I can see the tents .
"Thank god " I say pointing into the distance .
We run toward the tents trying to find everyone .
" Tate ,Bella ?" I call out no answer
" they might have went back to the house " Jason says
" we'll go there then " I say we started walking away .

The sun is starting to rise thank god . We keep walking and I fell the ground cave in under me and I land on my back .

"Ava" I can hear Jason faintly call my name
" shit " I say sitting up my head is pounding I must have hit my head .
"Jason get me out of here" I state looking up at me I stand up and examine the hole I'm trapped in .
"Jason speak get a fucking idea to get me out of here " I shout up at him
"Ava there's rope at the campsite I'll run back there and get it " Jason says
" your not fucking leaving me Jason " I shout
" I'm sorry " Jason says running away
"JASON" I scream but he's gone .

I sit in the hole completely alone it's dark and wet this is a nightmare .
"Ava " someone whispers

I jump up and stair up and there's no one .
"Ava"
I then realise the person is in the hole with me .
"Who is it " I ask
"Guess " it whispers
I'm grabbed from be hide and dragged to the floor . The person is on top of me then I realise who it is . It's Amber .
"Hello Ava you little whore " she says hitting my head of the floor
" get off what did I do to you " I shout
" EVERYTHING YOU STOLE MY BOYFRIENDS B-BUT ITS OKAY HES WITH ME NOW HES MINE. YOUR CRAZY AVA YOU DONT EVEN KNOW WHO YOUR HITTING " Amber screams in my face
I grab her and drag her down with my then I grab a rock and hit her in the head with it over and over again .

I drag the body into the corner of the cave I know Jason will be terrified if he sees Amber .
"Ava here put your foot in the hole I'll drag you up " Jason shouts
I run over and put my foot in the hole . Jason drags me up out the hole . I'm so happy to be out of there .
"Thank you " I say
" what happened to you you've got red marks all over your face " Jason says
" I'm not sure " I lie

We keep walking until I can see the house .
"Thank god " I say walking to the gate I let Jason go in first I turn locking he gate
"I so happy we're back aren't you " I ask Jason still fixing the lock
" a-ava" Jason says
" your so happy your speechless awww" I say turning around I can now understand why Jason was speech less.

I fall to my knees and scream . The swing that hangs from the tree in my garden is fashioned into a noose and Tate is hanging from it dead . Dead .

I realise what Amber had said saying that he was with her this is what she meant . Jason stands there speechless .

Then from my house emerged my parents obviously they heard me screaming .
"Ava?" My mum says crying
I run over to her and give her a huge hug
"I think we should call the police " my mum says crying into my shoulder .

What will I say to the  police ?
