Moonlight

Chapter 3

10:00pm

Lewis walks into the kitchen and finds Amy still staring out the window.

"You should just go for it you know." She softly says.

"What?" Lewis asks.

"With Kirby, just tell her how you feel." Amy answers, turning to Lewis.

He bites his lip and protests. Amy rolls her eyes and continues staring out the window. Wanting a drink, Lewis heads to the sink and pours a glass of water for himself. He asks Amy if she would like one but she declines.

Suddenly, Amy spots a figure staring at her from the window. She rubs her eyes and takes a second look, it is still standing there and seems to be wearing a mask. Trying to attract the attention of Lewis, she turns her head away from the figure for a second, however when she turns back she finds that it is no longer there.

"I promise I saw someone!" Amy demands. "They were just there!"

Lewis takes a closer look out the window and sees nothing. Thinking Amy has had too many glasses of wine he offers her a sip of his water. She declines and walks off to find Kirby and Max.

10:04pm

After hearing Heather screaming, Dustin runs into the dark gap in the wall and looks around panicked.

"Heather! Where are you?" Dustin screams.

He shines his light around a corner of the cave and spots a dark shadow. He walks closer. The shadow raises its arm. Dustin stops in his tracks and holds his breath.

"BOO!" Screams Heather, running straight at Dustin.

Dustin screams at the top of his lungs and back against a wall. Laughing at him, Heather compares Dustin's scream to a little girl.

"That is not funny! I thought something happened to you!" Dustin shouts. "How were you so brave to walk off alone, when you were so scared as we entered?"

"It's called acting, you should google it." Heather jokes. "But anyway, I think I found a way out."

Heather covers Dustin's torch and points at a glowing light coming from ahead. Exiting, Dustin is still angry at Heather and barely even talks to her the rest of the way.

Finally they reach their destination. A small wooden shack stands in the middle of nowhere, inside sits a large metal generator. Dustin walks in and switches it on, following Kirby's instructions. Sat on top of the generator, is a bloody clown mask. Dustin picks it up and shivers, dropping it back onto the generator. As he exits he stares at Heather without saying anything.

"What?" Heather asks.

Before he can tell her about the mask, a terrifying screech comes from the forest. Dustin's eyes shift to the right of Heather and then his jaw drops. Heather flips her hair around to see what caused the sound and sees a large elk being throw from the woods into the snowy path. It's throat has been slit and it's back legs ripped off. Heather screams and starts running away, going the opposite direction to the cabin. Following right behind her is Dustin.

After running for what feels like forever, they eventually see a small house in the distance.

"Quick, over there!" Shouts Dustin, signalling to the house.

Heather listens and starts veering towards it. Dustin reaches it first and barges through the front door. He watches Heather from the window and sees her fall onto her face outside on the deck.

Without thinking, Dustin rushes outside and grabs Heathers hand. She looks up and smiles at Dustin. The two stare at each other for a moment, then realise where they are. He picks her up and rushes her to the front door. Locking it behind him, Dustin takes a sigh of relief.
