Diamond's POV:

Walking alone in the woods was a very bad idea. I should've thought about that person watching me yesterday before I went here. And now it is scaring me.

None of this would've happened if Oreo didn't run in the woods during our morning jog earlier- near the park. Right now, I was trying to look for Oreo. That dog I'm telling you, always getting me into situations I can't get out of. I can't even remember where the parking lot was.

"Oreo!" I shouted again, walking over a log. Hearing rustling behind me, I turn around rather quickly. But no one was in sight. "Oreo? Is that you?" I got startled when I heard a big gun shot noise, then came whimpering. After, came another loud bang.

I walk towards the noise, which was probably not a great idea to do. But you know I'm a risk taker. Looking around the woods again, there was no sign of Oreo or any sign of any human being.

Then I hear a dog whimpering. "Oreo!" I yelled out again. I started jogging ahead, while the whimpers continued to get closer and closer.

As I jog, I noticed there were drops of blood on the leaves. Following the trail, I look up to find Oreo on the floor covered in blood.

"Oreo!" I yelled out, running over to my poor little dog. "No.. Oreo, please." I cried, holding him in my arms. What kind of monster would kill a dog? I stay on the floor crying over my dog, not caring my phone has been ringing aggressively for the past five minutes.

Suddenly another gun shot was fired, aiming at the tree to my right. I yelled out, afraid. Quickly, I get down to the floor and start crawling behind the log.

I felt terrified. How was I going to get out of here without getting shot?

I started to cry my eyes out again. This was it. I was going to die and I won't be able to see my husband and children ever again.

But then I also realized that this isn't the first time I was about to die. I looked back to the time Stacy Richards kidnapped me and tortured me, nearly to my death.

Turning to my left, I thought about a plan. Maybe I could just make a run for it. It's always worth trying than just laying here and wait for the person to come closer.

Making a run for it, I don't look back. I would most likely trip and fall, then hit my head if I looked back. I cried when I saw my car in the parking lot.

I dig inside my pocket while running, trying to get my car keys. Clicking the unlock button, I open my car door quickly.

I quickly start the car and get out of the parking lot. I abruptly stop the car when a dog, that looks like Oreo, appeared on the road. My eyes widened. I stared at the dog, debating if I should get out of the car or not.

Then I noticed the blue dog collar we got Oreo for Christmas last year.

But I just saw Oreo in the woods....
