Chapter 26[Editing]

"so is Kate alright?" Danny asked as he and Nick had been walking for what felt like 30 minutes.

" yeah just a bit on edge after what happened in the basement" Nick responded.

" yeah I know" Nick replied when he removed a branch away from his face." especially needles " Danny continued.

That surely made Nick stop on his tracks. He turned to Danny.

" how do you know that she hates needles?"

" she had mentioned it once when I told her that I wanted a new tat, she lectured me for almost an hour, making me regret saying it" Danny said, feeling slightly nervous but Nick totally brushed it off and began talking about something else.

They had walked till they noticed something like a cabin in the far distance.

" is that what I think it is?" Danny asked.

" only one way to find out" Nick said, heading to it with Danny behind him.

Once in front of it, Nick took the first step on the porch. Nick knocked on the door and called out for someone but there was no answer, after a few minutes, Nick twisted the door knob only to find it unlocked and he didn't waste time in opening it and peaking inside with his head.

" looks like no one's here " Nick told Danny who had been looking through the window.

" any ideas ?" Nick asked , he looked over to Danny who'd just disappeared on him.

Shrugging his shoulders, he entered inside the cabin with unease, the cabin had a small space that led into the living room which had it's own door. Everything seemed quite old and the smell proved so, Nick wandered off to the kitchen to find it in the same condition as the rest of the house. He found cracked windows and surprisingly, inside the fridge was fresh food and cold beers, before he could take one out, he almost jumped out of his skin when he heard " I think we've got ourselves quite an artist"

Danny stood at the kitchen doorway , with a big painting in his hands, the painting was of a beautiful young female who lay on an ancient couch bed, in her hand that was against her midsection was a large key, the background was off the sun setting.

Nick took the painting from Danny, admiring it since it really captured the eye.

" and he is a writer too, there's poems, theatre plays ,manuscripts...you name it" Danny continued.

" maybe he's some retired film director " Nick said.

" or a psycho" Danny said.

While they continued looking around, a creaking sound came from outside.

" what's that?" Nick said.

" I don't know , might be from outside"

Both Danny and Nick shot each other questionable, before the the stormed out of there to find....nothing.

" still can't believe, you're engaged" Anna said.

" yeah, it's almost so unreal you know" Kate admitted.

" believe it sister" Anna said while she playfully shoved Kate's shoulder, Kate showed a small smile .

" well I may eventually but I know someone who's not happy about it"

" screw her, she's such a -"

" I know and I won't let her mess up my moment, even though Nick believes that she's not so easy to crack and be friends with but she's trying" Kate said sarcastically.
