Today is the day.
I have been waiting for the RV for about an hour now, contemplating back and forth whether to go back inside and sleep. I've call Dan a hundred times now and still no answer. I decide a hundredth and one time, then I'll go back to bed. As I'm dialing up Dan's digits a long loud horn sends my ears ringing. "What the hell! Are you trying to give me a heart attack? ", Dan smiles, " you look tired". "no shit, it's like five in the morning asshole", I gather up my thing and headed towards the RV. "Well you know what they say the early bird gets the biggest worm", he grins, "says the one that was half an hour late".
Dan's a true nature boy. He pretty much grew up in the forest as a young child. He knows how to hike, fish, start a fire, and find his way through the woods, which blew my mind when he told me; So the nation park was his first thought when a spring trip was suggested. He is a cool guy when he is not being an annoying twat. The door flys open before I have a chance to make my way up the step of the RV; Willow grabs my arm pulling me in, my stuff scatters across the floor. "Oooh, My Gosh Kale! It has been What? A whole flipping week since we've talked...", I broke my phone a week ago so I haven't been able to contact anyone till yesterday, when I bought a new one; "...sit sit I have sooo much to tell you and we have an 3 hours ride till we get to national dirtville. Ok! Sooo first off Jake and I went out night a few nights ago and...".
Willow is my best friend, she's a bit on the wilder side, but has a good soul tho she'll run your ears off; I meet her freshmen year of college along with Dan and his girlfriend Zelma, they have been together for 3 years now. The four of us have decided that after a long and tiring year of college work, a camping trip for spring break would be a nice change of pace.
The RV takes off as I gather up my things. Willow goes on about some date with this douche bag she is constantly on and off with. "Hey, Kale! whats up?" Zelma is in the small kitchen in the corner garbing a soda, "Hey not much, I'm tried. Oh, I got a new phone so I'm excited about that; how about you?".
Zelma is pretty and nice as well as really smart which goes along with the whole nerdish look she has going on; with her black cat eye glasses, bone straight hair that she only keeps in a high messy bun, braces that look like they should be coming out soon, and a neat mature clothing style." Great I have been counting down the days to this trip for so long now. I can not wait", Zelma head back up front with Dan. I smile and turn back to willow who is still chatting on about Jake and how he refuse to take her to some fancy pants restaurant and hotel he said he would take her to, but she said she refuse to fuck with him till he starts showing he cares. I lose her after that, I start thinking back to about six months ago to when willow and I first met Jake and his cousin, it was at some silly college mixer. Landon was the cousin who I got abandon with after willow called dibs on Jake then vanished. Landon was weird and a sarcastic twat when first met him, but he suggested we ditch the mixer and get some sushi; I told him I wasn't sure but ended up saying yes after he said he would pay, even tho he had me at sushi. I had fun and we talk a little after that till he disappears a week later.
I was suddenly thrown out of my train of thought when I hear Zelma yelling. Only seconds later Willow and I are thrown out of our seats and flung on to the floor; glasses and bags go crashing to the ground, shattering. " WHAT THE HELL!" Dan yells. The RV is screeching back and forth across the road, causing us to roll about the cabin and bumping into everything. "OOOH MY GOSH DAAN WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT! WHAT DID YOOOU HIT!" , Willow's pissed and has blood running down the side of her face. Zelma starts screaming, "DAN HE IS GOING TO HIT US AGAIN!!". The RV is meet with a hard thump followed by a gathering of screams and cursing. We go screeching off the road and tumble down the hill, in to the woods. I'm thrown against the wall again having willow come flying in to me. I black out.
I wake to the sound a foot steps and a shocks of pain shooting though out my whole body. I can't move everything hurts even breathing is a struggle. I glanced up to see willow pale delicate face and hair covered in blood and cuts her eyes close. I try calling out her name to wake her up but it only comes out as a crack whisper. The foot steps are back. I'm about to call out for help when I hear Dan struggling to talk to the strange figure, He sounds in pain and desperate. "Help...Help us please....call 911...please we", he begging choking on blood, before he can say another word; the figure swiftly pulls a sharp object a blade goes fly in to Dan skull. Blood goes flying on to the strange figure. I flinch and turn looking away at my feet. It takes everything I have to not scream when seeing the blood torso half of my best friend broken and crimped under one of my legs.
Those familiar foot steps are the last thing a hear before blacking out
