I woke up with a jolt. My whole body was trembling, and I knew something was wrong. I looked to the entrance of the small tent.
There was a face.
I almost screamed, but a hand rose out of nowhere and covered my mouth.
That just made me try to scream and flail more.
"Shut up!" A voice commanded, and I obeyed after a couple more seconds of struggling. "That thing is after you and your little friend, make any noise and it'll tear you and her to shreds. I started to shake, and the voice said a little more calmly "it's okay, just calm down and it won't come after you." I tried to calm down, but my whole body was vibrating thanks to the figure slowly creeping towards us. Suddenly, I heard a voice from Mackenzie's tent. The figure shifted its attention to her tent, and I barreled out of the tent, making as much noise as possible to get the creature away from Mackenzie. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" The mysterious guy yelled. "THATS MY BEST FRIEND!!" I screamed back, waving my arms frantically. "I SURE AS HELL AM NOT GONNA LET HER GET EATEN BY SOME KINDA DEMON!!" 
The monster staggered towards me, and Mackenzie poked her head out of her tent sleepily. She looked at the demon, me, the guy, and then back to me. "Whaddever you're into," She said as she slipped back inside. "HELP ME!" I yelled. The guy muttered something about soap, and then he reached out and grabbed the demon by its throat and disintegrated his neck. The demon turned to mush on the ground. "Are you okay?" The guy asked me. I opened my tent, crawled into my sleeping bag, and screamed in my pillow.
