Today I was just sitting in the living room watching freakish on Hulu when I saw my brother coming downstairs he looked all dressed up

"Where are you going?"I asked

"On a date"he said

"With who?"I asked

"That is non of your business"he said

"Whatever"

"Mom said to meet her in the woods with your bow and arrow"he said I looked at him confused but I listened I grabbed my bow and arrow and went to the woods my mom was practicing her bow and arrow.

"Mom you needed me?"I asked

"Oh yes honey come I need to tell you something"she pointed towards a log for me to sit down I sat down her standing up

"Yes mother?"I said

"Honey you've heard of the attacks of the animals right?"I nodded

"I just want to warn you about them ok I don't want you in the woods because we think they are wolves just be careful ok honey"she said I nodded

"Ok I just needed to clear that out don't go here unless you're with someone"she said I nodded again

"Well your father and I will be hunting deers tonight while we do I need you to practice your archery"she said

"Is Dylan in the house?"

"No he went on a date"I said

"With who?"I shrugged my shoulders

"Can I invite someone you know so I can't be alone in the woods"I said

"Of course who would it be?"she asked

"Um a friend she's actually new like I am her names Amanda"I said

"Of course honey anyone's welcomed here"she smiled I nodded she kissed my temple and left inside the house I sighted I called Amanda she said she's coming in a few minutes

I grab a bow and put it in the string. I pull it behind and closed a right eye trying to focus I release hitting the bullseye perfectly I chuckled but frowned as I hear a noise into the deep of the woods I hear leaves being crumbled I sight of relief as I see a beautiful little baby deer

I try to get close to it but it fears of course instinct I grab a Berries from the little pouch sitting beside the log my mom was probably eating them she loves blueberries I put them in my hand and put them near him as my hand was a bowl he slowly got close and started to eat them

"That's a good boy"I try to touch him but it moves a bit backwards

"Shh it okay I won't harm you"I say somehow it was like it could understand me it let me pet it I giggled I heard a twig snap the deer looked up and ran crying that scared me my hard was beating fast I look were I heard the snap

I look for movement but there isn't any I won't date to say hello is anyone there cause that's how people die in a horror movie instead I grab my bow and arrow and put it in position just incase someone touched my shoulder I gasp

"Hey hey it's okay it's just me"Amanda said and chuckled

"Yeah sorry I just heard something"I said

"Anyways what are you doing here in the woods"she asked me

"Practicing"I showed my bow she nodded

"Hey do you wanna have a sleepover"I asked and smiled

"Yeah sure"she said I grinned

"Well let's do it"I said she skipped to he house I looked one more time at the woods

"Are you coming?"she asked I grabbed my stuff and ran towards her and headed upstairs.

Amanda and I we're currently in our face mask taking selfies you know there usual sleepover stuff and then it gets intense

"So do you like anyone?"she asked

"No"I said

"Oh come one not anyone who you think is cute"

"Well.."I hesitated and smiled

"No"I said

"Oh really than why did you smile?"she asked

"It's a free country"I said she rolled her eyes

"Fine um well there's this boy we've been really close lately and um I think we kissed"I said

"You think?"she had a big smile

"Well I'm not sure if it was real or if it was a dream"I said

"well what about you?"I asked

"What about me?"she asked

"Do you like anyone?"I asked

"Well.."

"You've been really close to Charles"I said

"So?"

"So? That doesn't mean anything"I asked

"No I like someone else"she said

"Who?"I said

"Hunter"she said I widened my eyes

"Don't look at me like that"she said covering her eyes I giggled

"I'm going to sleep"she said

"Fine me too"I said we removed our face masks and fell asleep

I was breathing so hard scared out of my mind this insane bitch is on top of me

"Where is he?"she asked

"I don't know"I said with shaking breath

She grabbed the knife and cut my wrist I screamed in pain I could heard someone screaming my name from underneath

"One more time little girl where is he"

"I said I don't know"I sobbed

She shaped something cutting into my arm real deep I screamed at the top of my lungs I heard banging from downstairs

"Please let me go"I sobbed

"You know what they are right you are weak little humans"she laughed

"Now I'm not playing games tell me where the hell!! He is"she said

"I told you I don't know where he is!!"I screamed

She took the knife and stabbed my stomach I screamed so loud I think I lost my voice the last thing I know is the bitch being pulled away and thrown at the wall I only saw blurry

"grace hold on please it will be okay"he said I looked at him seeing tears in his green hazel beautiful eyes him holding my wound I looked at my wrist and saw human written on it basically carved that's the last thing I saw before passing out and hearing screams

I woke up sweaty and with tears in my eyes I looked and saw Amanda sleeping peacefully what happened?
