"I feel like exploring nearby today, what do you think?"
Y/N asked me, smiling at me from across the room.

We were in our hotel room and weren't in an argument anymore, I guess Y/N was just a little annoyed about something around the time we were arguing. I was seated on our bed putting my brown boots on.

"That sounds fun, where should we explore?"
I replied.

"I saw an abandoned train station not far from here, I thought we could check it out. Who knows what stories it holds,"
She replied.

"Sounds interesting, when would you like to leave?"

"Ten minutes would be nice, it'll take at least half an hour to get there and we don't know how long we'll be there, I'd rather not walk in the dark,"
Y/N replied.

"I got an idea, how about on our way there we go hunting and just spend the night there? The place could be haunted, making it an even bigger adventure,"
I suggested.

"I like the way you think, and we won't have to pay for another night at the Inn,"

She replied, smiling.

"Okay I'll check us out and grab us breakfast, can you pack our stuff please?"
I asked her.

"Yeah I can do that, I'll meet you downstairs shortly,"
She replied. I nodded and walked out of our room.



It took us about an hour to make it to the abandoned train station. There wasn't any prey out right now, they were all hiding. But luckily I was able to grab some fruit, cheese, and milk at the Inn. If we find a stream I can clean the milk bottle and fill it with water.
The train station, sure enough, was definitely abandoned. There weren't any people for miles. There was one old, rusty, black train with blue carts. One was empty, but it seemed to once hold coal or something.

"Where are we supposed to sleep? I'm used to the ground but that bed was so comfortable."
Y/N asked me.

"Let's try and see if any of these carts open, let's hope the rust didn't get to them,"
I replied, setting my belongings down.

I walked up to one of the carts and pulled on the handle. It didn't give in at first, so I put all my strength into it and pulled it open. Cold air blew against my face. Inside there were boxes stacked on top of each other, mold growing over them. I wrinkled my nose in disgust.

"Sam! Over here!"

I grabbed my stuff and walked over to where Y/N was standing. She had opened one of the carts near the back, inside there were little rooms.

"This train used to hold passengers as well."
She told me happily.

I climbed up into the train followed closely by Y/N. This place was more oddly clean, it didn't have a foul smell like the cart I looked into. This cart had many clean rooms, in dirt wise there was still some trash lying around.

"I think we should stay here."
I told Y/N.

"Well obviously in less you found something better,"
Y/N replied.

"No I only found way worse,"
I replied.

"It can't be that bad,"
She replied.

"Trust me, you don't want to go in there,"

Shoot! I shouldn't have said trust, I know she doesn't trust me.
Is she going to say anything?
I thought to myself.

"Okay, I"ll take your word for it,"
She replied, giving me a sweet look.

I was surprised she didn't say anything more, even after I said trust. I guess I should tell her soon, she's definitely not working for him. He wouldn't go this far to bring me home. I know him too well. I know I didn't kill him, it's too obvious he's out seeking revenge. But I don't know Y/N's story either. I just hope I can get far enough and he'll never find me, or I can also hope he'll come into my life weak and I can kill him off easily so I don't have to worry about him the rest of my life like a sword hanging over my head.
I walked into one of the rooms and saw two very small beds with no sheets or blankets. They were the type of beds that weren't meant to be perfect, just the right size to fit on a train where passengers will be traveling overnight. "Do you want to sleep in here? We can try hunting later,"
I suggested.
