"So, if I'm going to be staying here where will I sleep?" I asked.

"Oh.. ummm.... we'll figure that out" Eugene said.

"Ok.." I replied, knowing that no matter what, even if Eugene, and Ned, and Zack, and Keith, and oh! Ned's wife  were here, I would still have to leave.

We all sat around the fire, silent.  Just then, Zach broke the silence by saying,

"Emma, do you want to go hunting with me?"

I quickly reply, "yes, that sounds great, when?"

"I don't know," he shrugged, "right now?"

"I can do that."

"Ok then. Can you use a bow?"

"Yes!" I replied, because it was actually my favorite weapon.

"Ok, well, umm I'll be right back." Zack says, scampering off toward his tent. He comes back a few moments later with two compound bows and two quivers.

"Ready to go Emma?"

"I was born ready!" I almost yell.

We leave the camp, and set off along a rough winding path.

After only a few minutes of walking, I spot a squirrel. It's sitting innocently on the center of the path only fifteen feet away.

I nudge Zack, and he gives me a thumbs-up, telling me it's an ok target.

I knock my arrow to the string, and jugde my distance before pulling the string back, and releasing.

The arrow hits the squirrel, but not hard enough to kill it instantly. I watch in horror and it writhes on the ground in pain before going limp. I look over to see Zach, who is already holding a dead rabbit. When did he get that?

I walk over to my squirrel, and as I go to remove the arrow, I suddenly feel sick to the stomach. I grab the squirrel, and yank the arrow out and walk back to Zack.

"I want to go back.." I tell Zack in a weak voice.

"That's ok, we already caught enough anyway." He smiles, patting my back.
----------------------------------------------

By the time we get back to camp, the sun is starting to sink.

We enter through the gate, and Zack locks it behind us.

"So, how did it go?" Keith asks, smiling.

"It went great, we caught two squirrels and a rabbit!" Zach replies, shrugging

Eugene pokes his head out of a tent.

"Great job you guys! Can you come here for a moment Emma?"

I look at Zach apologetically, setting down my quiver and bow, before running over to Eugene.

"Come inside" Eugene says, beckoning me in.

I reluctantly crawl inside, as Eugene slides the zipper to the tent shut.

As soon as he shuts it, the mood completely changed. The tension in the air could be cut by a knife, as we sat facing each other. I began to get up to leave and was crawling towards the door, when Eugene pushed me to the floor, attacking my lips with his. I squealed, trying to push him off me to no avail. His brutal kiss kept my cries of protest from being heard as he began tearing at my shirt with his hands.

I attempted to push him off, clawing at his chest with my finger nails. He pulled away in pain for a split second, witch was just enough time for me to yell,

"HELP!"

I heard the zipper opening, and I saw Ned's concerned face looking in in horror at Eugene on top of me, pulling my shirt half off. I push Eugene away, and rush out of the tent, clinging to Ned like a monkey.

"Emma? What happened?"

"Eugene- Eugene tried to- to"

"To what?"

"Eugene tried to rape me!"
