Problems

Midnight

Mae woke up to a bang. It was night she was yet again in the woods, but in a place she's never been in before. She searched for what made the bang it was hard to see because it was night. She found a tree that has fallen she assumed it was that.

She jumped to the sound of footsteps again, this time it sounded like there were more people. She was almost as scared as she was when she was in the mine, hopefully it wasn't the cult.

Mae heard another bang, this time she was sure it wasn't a tree, it had to be a gun. Mae didn't know which way to run, she didn't know where she was. She ran as fast as she could away from the sound. She heard footsteps in front of her but didn't see anybody. She was tackled by an unknown figure.

The person covered her mouth.

"Shhh, if you don't talk they won't find you, Mae" they whispered.

10 minutes passed of silence not a single word came out of Mae, she didn't hear any footsteps either.

"OK you can talk now," They said.

"Who are you," Mae asked

"Have you not recognized me by my voice? Its Bea"

"How did you find me out here, I don't even know where I am, and I've been all around Possum Springs" Mae said.

"I saw you walking down the road talking to yourself, so I followed you" Bea replied

"So I was sleep walking, how did I get this far anyway"

"The real answer is who are those people" Bea said.

"Do you think it could be the cult"
Mae asked

"It couldn't be they died in the mine remember" Bea asked.

Then they heard footsteps again. There wasn't as many as there were last time. It was probably only one person. Mae and Bea both got up and started running away.

"Hey come back here right now" The person said in a gravely voice

They heard another bang blast out of somewhere and they ran faster.

"Follow me" Bea said " I know the way out"

They both ran as fast as they couldn't with the cold breeze flowing through Mae's fur. Soon enough they made it out of the woods, they didn't notice but they ran through briars and they were bleeding from being pricked with the thorns.

"Mae are you OK" Bea asked

"Yeah I think so, are you OK"

"Yeah"
