The Skinwalkers

Ojos Amarillo Canyon

I sat straight up in my bed, I heard head my sister scream, more than just a straddled scream, a blood curdling scream. I rushed out into the living room, she was there. I saw Kat run out to the back yard I followed close behind.

Then I saw Molly on the beach, with her hands over her mouth, sobbing. I ran faster, passing Kat. In front of Molly, lied a dead wolf at her feet. It smelled, not like death, but this god awful smell I never smelt something so disgusting in my entire life. When Kat arrives she hugged me tight and cried her eyes out cursing under her breath. After staring at the sad corpses of the mutilated Coyote , we all walked back inside. I can't get rid of the smell, rotting flesh that's all I smell.

We sat around in the living room, I hug Kat she was shaking. Molly was on her phone, frantically typing. Kat stood up and walk to her room and started packing, I walked over to her and tried to stop her from packing. She looked up at me with tears rolling down her cheeks.

“Hey, hey, hey, no crying now it's gonna be okay. We are okay aren't we we Kate. “ she hugs me tight crying

“I just don't understand, who would do that to a poor Coyote?”

“Kat we are near the Navajo reservation, maybe they did it for something.”

“Jack Navajos don't kill”

Molly walks in throws her phone on the bed and walks in her room and screams at us to pack. I look at her phone and I read

Skinwalkers are Navajo witches that shapeshift into animals such as ; wolves, bobcats, mountain lions, or coyotes.

I couldn't move I just kept thinking. Ojos Amarillo, yellow eyes. Over this lake and about a few miles down this old road is Ojos Amarillo canyon or Skinwalker canyon, where Navajo witches would conjure Skinwalker but burning the skull of the animal it was gonna take shape of.

I ran to my room and pack everything as fast as I can. I went back into the living room and Molly was standing there ready to leave, Kat walked out with Molly's phone in her hand reading what was on it.

“Skinwalkers are evil sprites, please we need to leave now...please” she starts to cry more.

Molly walks out and throws her suitcase in the trunk of her car, I help Kat put her’s in, and then I put mine in. We sit in the back as Molly tries to get the car started, it's ten miles to the nearest town so we can't walk we need this car. She curses under her breathe. “Shit, the battery it dead we're stuck. “ she seems very worried.

We take our suitcases out of the trunk and walk back in the living room.

“We all should sleep in here tonight, if we need to sleep another night.” Molly said pulling her phone out of her pocket. She calls someone, probably the towing company. “Tuesday are you kidding me!” she shouts “ No, I need one today I need one now.”  Still shouting, I see tears appear in her eyes. “Yes, I understand, yes. Okay. I'll be waiting on Monday. Okay bye.” she hung up the phone trying to force a smile and tells us the tow truck will be here on Monday.  I was Saturday, two days in hell.
