Cabin Fever

Confusion

I slowly opened my eyes to see Sandra and Emily hovering over me. I was in a bed, I had a pounding headache. Somehow my clothing changed. "What's going on?" I asked in a croaky voice. "Shh, be quiet just rest now." Sandra tells me. Emily puts a wet cloth on my forehead. Then Sandra puts a glass of water to my lips. "Don't speak, just drink." She tells me softly. I did as she says. I felt much better, the water soothed my headache.

I tried getting up, but they just pushed me down. "Don't move you're weak." Emily warns me. "I think I'm fine now." I protested, but they just shook their heads. Just then Kurt comes in. He just leans in the doorway, looking at me. His face showed some type of concern.

"Hey Kurt." I say softly, but loud enough so he heard me. He finally responded with: "you okay?" He sounded like he half cared, but i can care less. Its normal for Kurt to be like that. I shrugged, "meh." I said plainly. He spoke on: "girls can I talk to you quietly?" Sandra and Emily both got up and left the room with Kurt. Even though they talked softly, I could still make out half they were saying.

"I can't believe you did that!" I heard Kurt say out loud. I listened closely. "I thought she would be ready." I gasped what are they talking about? Is it about me?!  I thought. "Are you dumb?!" Sandra says a little loud. "We literally said 'not right now'" I heard Sandra say.

Just then I started feeling drowsy, my eyes felt heavy, I finally fell back asleep. I wake up with another headache. The entire top floor felt empty, as if I was the only one there. I sit up. I'm very hungry like starving. I go down to the kitchen to see Emily sitting at the table with a coffee in her hand. Oh she is such caffeine addict. She was staring hard at something, she looked like if someone had put her under a spell. I nervously sit down at the table next to her. I give a little smile, "Emmy?" I say softly. She jolts, she looks up at me all bothered. "Huh? Oh hey Natalie, w-what's up?" I shrug, "Oh nothing uh how 'bout last night huh?" she laughs nervously. "Oh yeah that was strange, everyone was worried about you. You okay?" I shrug, "Yeah I mean I think I'am, what if someone drugged me haha." I joke. Her eyes widen. "What?! why would you think of such a horrible thing?! Uh possibly you've had a burnout, tired?!" 

I shake my head putting my hand on her shoulder. "Hey hey Emmy! I was just joking alright? Are you alright?" She exhales and stands up, "I'm going to take a walk." I frown softly and stands up too. "Oh? well how about I go with you?" She shakes her head. "Oh no, let me go by myself." I nod and lets her go. I shake my head and goes out to the back porch to see Sandra smoking a cigarette. I sigh and stands a bit next to her, "Still smoking?" she looks at me and gasps, "Shit!" she whisper-shouts, exhaling as she crushes the cigarette on the banister and tosses it. 

I sigh again, "I've already see you, is everything okay with you?" I look at her in the face, she shakes her head, "No, just a little stressed I'm fine trust me. But the real question is everything okay with you?" I nod, "Yeah I'm good but uh, I'm worried about Emily, she's been acting quite weird lately." Sandra clears her throat. "Well people just can't take loosing their boyfriends or whatever as easily." I nod, "Yeah but its been a few years, she's done the counseling, the therapy. She usually bounces back from grief really fast I don't understa-" "She's just tired I guess, I don't think you should be worrying about her so much. We have a good weekend to look forward too." She smiles. Just then we hear screaming and angry yelling. Very bloodchiling. Sandra looks at me and we begin to run to the noise.  It made us go deep into the woods.

To our horror we see Kurt grabbing Emily violently up against a tree, I freeze in horror as I don't know what to do
