"Camping?" I questioned my cousin Danny, he nodded.
"Yes, camping Izzy" he said. Me and my cousin Danny were going on a camping trip along with his brother Jackson and girlfriend Sally, there was also my sister Lauren who is six years older than me. Danny told us all we had family in West Virginia and were going to meet them, after we got to know them we were going to camp out in the woods. I packed my stuff and hurried to the car.
"I don't even wanna go on this trip, it'll be so boring" I said glumly
"Cheer up baby sister, we will meet our cousins and ancestors" Lauren spoke cheerfully, I just looked at her and gave her a half smile.
"Okay everybody, are we ready to go?" Jackson asked, everybody cheered and yelled as we all scrambled into the car. I sat in the middle between Lauren and Sally. I hated Sally, she always controlled Danny like a puppet, I just ignored the whole family, nobody paid me any attention anyways, especially with me being the youngest.

The car was jumping, everybody going karaoke and joking about,I sat there, despising every second of it. I looked out of Laurens window and saw the woods, they were quite eary, and they looked dangerous. Suddenly the car jumped as we ran over something, we all scattered out of the car and saw we had a flat tyre, we ran over some barbed wire.
"Great, just what we needed!" Danny said sarcastically, Jackson smiled.
"What's so funny Jacko" Sally asked, I hated the cutesy nicknames she gave everybody. I just stared at him.
"Their here" he whispered, I stopped dead in my tracks wondering what he meant.
"The boys are close, the wire is their sign" he went to the boot and got our bags and backpacks out "We are going to have to go by foot now, we'll find a clearing in the woods and wait for them,"Jackson said. 'How can he go about his business this calm' I thought to myself.

We walked further into the woods, I stayed close to Danny, scared of what could possibly be lurking about in here. We stopped after about half an hour and dropped all of our bags, it was a nice spot, just creepy. While everybody started unpacking I pulled Danny to one side
"Hey Izzy what's wrong?"he questioned
"I'm bored I'm going to go and have a look around" I said knowing I probably shouldn't but needed to face my fears of being on my own in the woods. He went silent for a few minutes then he just shrugged and nodded "Okay but remember you have my number if you need anything and we are camping by the boulder...don't be long" he said whilst kissing my cheek and then letting me go.

I went walking taking in the view, it was actually beautiful, I loved it. I found a beautiful waterfall with rocks, flowers and a beautiful view of West Virginia, I closed my eyes, hearing the splash of the water as it hit the rocks, the wind blowing my brunette head of hair around. I laughed as it tickled me, I heard a twig snap behind me, I opened my eyes and turned around automatically, there was nobody there, only the birds and a squirrel climbing an oak tree. I then heard a laugh,a very strange cackle. I looked around but I couldn't see nobody. Suddenly a large man appeared from behind a tree, he stood there staring at me, he started to move closer to me, i stood frightened not moving at all, my heart raced faster with every step he took closer to me. As he got closer I realised he only had one eye and a huge scar down the right side of where his other eye used to be. He got very close up to me, he looked at me up and down. He then nodded to himself, out of the blue he picked me up and flung me over his shoulder, I yelled as he did so
"Put me down right now you basket case!" I screamed, he just ignored my yelling and pounding, he just kept on walking through the woods.

He had been carrying me around on his shoulder for a good ten minutes, he started grunting to himself,I just rolled my eyes and accidentally fell asleep on his shoulder. I woke up later that day. I was in a strange little room, I was tied to a bed by my wrists, I yelled for Danny and Jackson, I even yelled for Sally, I don't care who found me, as long as I got away from where I was. Seconds later the man that kidnapped me came into the room, I stared at him evily. He say down on the bed and touched my cheek with the side of his finger, tears started to form in my eyes, he hushed me and wiped my eyes, he looked at me sympathetically and went out of the room, I just sighed. Later that night another man with blonde hair came in, he gasped and shuffled over to me, he sat down on the bed and stared at me,I looked at him with fascination, he leaned over me and untied my wrists,I got up and sat next to him,
"Who are you?" I questioned. He held up his left hand and took off a grubby glove and showed me his hand, I noticed he only had three fingers "Three Finger?" I asked in amazement wondering how that happened, he nodded. I realised he and the other man must of been our relatives. "Are you related to Danny and Jackson?" I asked again, he nodded once more, I smiled "They are my cousins, that makes you my cousin as well!"I exclaimed, he smiled too showing his teeth, he didn't have many. "Why am I here, take me back to Danny!" I said, Three Finger shook his head furiously. "Why not?" I asked getting mad. He grunted abit. "I don't understand" I said folding my arms. He then pointed to himself, then to me, then to the whole cabin we were in. "You want me to stay with you?" He nodded, I sat there, wondering. "Why me, why not Lauren my older sister or Danny's girlfriend Sally" he raised his eyebrows quickly, he then rushed out of the room, he came back minutes later holding a photo. It was a picture of himself, the man with only One Eye and another man I haven't seen before, at the bottom of the picture there was a girl posing with them.... it was Sally. My eyes widened.

Sally was related to this mutant family! She's going out with Danny, that means that Sally is Danny's half sister. My hang flew up to my mouth, Three Finger took my hand, he pointed to Sally in the picture, then to me, then to himself again. "I cannot date my cousin! How can she date her own half brother?" Three Finger took a picture off the wall with a lot of deformed people in it, I took it from him... they are the inbreeding families of West Virginia, I never thought I would be related to them, I traced the face on a picture of a deformed girl. I gasped. "To keep the blood pure" I whispered to myself, he nodded. I read it in a book before about these parts of America.

The other two men in the first picture Three Finger showed me came in the room,i stared at them before standing up in front of all three of them. "Look, I am related to you guys, but I can't even think about dating any of my family members... It's wrong, I'm sorry but I don't think I can help you" I said looking down at my feet. The eldest man who I hadn't seen before could speak a little bit.
"You, help, us, us, family" he said slowly, like painfully slowly. I took his hand and shook my head
"Take me back to Danny!" I yelled, they all pulled sickly smiles and took me outside, we got in a grubby rusty truck, they drove me to the spot where we were camping. When we got out I saw the most sickly thing, Danny, Jackson, Lauren and Sally were all dead and skinned. My hands flew up to my mouth, I fell to my knees and cried, I crawled over to Danny and held his limp body against mine.
"You monsters, you killed your own cousins and your own sister! What's wrong with YOU!"I yelled. The boys pulled me up and threw me back in the truck, they then went and got the bodies, they threw them in the back of the truck, I yelled at them, the man: One Eye, came up to me in the drivers seat and held my hand,
"Get STUFFED!"I screamed whilst crying uncontrollably. We all went back to the cabin.

10 YEARS LATER

I stayed with my boys and married Three Finger after three years, unfortunately my two brother in laws One Eye and Saw Tooth died, me and Three Finger stayed in the cabin, I became a cannibal like him after he killed my family ten years ago. After 5 years of being together I agreed to keep our blood pure and clean and we had three beautiful children.
I had twins: brother and sister, after my beautiful twins I had a lovely baby boy who Three Finger named Three Toe due to his toes on his right foot.

After all I've been through I lived a great life hunting and living life to the fullest with my lovely husband and my three beautiful children.... The rest is history.
