It's Hunter

Part 3

   We were going at least 10 miles over the speed limit. "Kyle where are we going! Slow down!" He doesn't slow down. His eyes are locked on the road. Taylor is freaking out in the back seat. I reach back to grab her hand when I realize where we are. "NO!" I yell with out thinking. This is the road... that's the tree Hunter crashed into! The car takes a sharp turn and comes to a complete halt.
   "Nolan's truck!" Ashley yells pointing her shaking finger to a rusty blue ford truck parked next to a man made path into the woods. We all jump out of the car and run to the truck. There's no one in it. On the seat there's Nolan's phone and wallet. The truck was unlocked.
   Kyle sprints down the path, running over roots and twigs. "Where are you going?!"  I yell trying to catch up. He's not slowing down .
   "No.... time!" He yells panting. What does he mean? Me and Ashley try to keep up but the path is windy and starts going up hill.
   Kyle and Nolan have been best friends since 2rd grade. They spend almost everyday together. Me and Ashley met in 6th grade during Mrs. Martins class. That's how I met Kyle Ashley and Nolan introduced us. We all started hanging out together and have been almost inseparable since.
We caught up with Kyle in about 20 minutes. The trail led to a huge cliff. The drop off had to be at least 300 feet. There Nolan was sitting at the base of a huge oak tree about 3 feet from the edge. His eyes were wide open but he wasn't moving he was just staring straight forward.
Taylor over and fell onto her knees. She started shaking him and crying. "Nolan!? Can you hear me?" She's one foot away from falling over, but she doesn't seem to notice.
"Nolan! Wake up dude!" Kyle shakes him even harder. At this point everyone's almost sobbing.
"AHHHHH!" Nolan wakes up and screams at the top of his lungs. His voice sounds 10 times louder echoing off the walls of the canyon below. Taylor immediately hugs him to death.
"Where am I!" He's still screaming.
"What do you mean where are you! You've been missing since 3:00 this morning!" Kyle says trying to pull him away from the edge. I notice Nolan's backpack on a bench on the forest  line.
   "All I remember is dropping Taylor off!" Nolan's says starting to stand up. Without realizing it I'm halfway to the bench.
   "Nolan what's in the bag?" I say grabbing it by the handle. It's pretty light. I sit down in the dirt next to him and unzip it.
   "Oh my GOD NOLAN! What did you do?" I yell pulling a bloody knife out of the backpack!  Taylor screams putting her hands over her face.
   "I didn't do anything I swear!" Nolan says putting his blood covered hands in the air. It's dripping all the way down his right arm.
   Kyle aggressively pulls the sleeve from his already red t-shirt up. "Oh my God!" There right under his right shoulder is a huge symbol carved into his arm!
There's a circle with a star inside it with some sort of ancient writing!
   "Did you cut yourself!?" Taylor says quietly trying not to cry, tracing it with her pointer finger. It was all bruised and scabbing. Every time Nolan would move his arm more blood would gush out.
   "We need to go to a hospital!" Kyle says examining his bicep.
   "What are we going to say? Oh our friend here cut himself but be doesn't remember anything! Oh and by the way, he woke up on the top of a cliff?! They'll definitely send him to some mental asylum!" The words come out of my mouth fast and jumbled.
   "Well we've got to do something!" Taylor yells clearly on the verge of tears.
   "... Abby," Nolan spits out.
   "Who's Abby?" We say almost in unison.
   "She's my cousin! She went to med-school or something like that, she won't tell anybody!" None of us have ever heard of Abby before.
   "Well then where does Abby live?" Kyle asks jumping to his feet.
   "About half an hour away, I'll give you directions!" He says grabbing Kyle's hands to get up. He's obviously loosing bloody fast!
   "Here," Kyle says taking off his jacket and tying it around Nolan's arm. Use it Kyle as a crutch, Nolan and everybody else make it back down the steep path. We decide Kyle will drive Nolan, and I'd drive with Taylor in Nolan's truck.
