Killing Spree

#5

//Tracy//

Now that everyone is up and moving we all head our separate ways each one of us on the hunt for something - anything that would be of use. We all decided to go in pairs thinking that it would be safer, when we split I ended up being with Angie.

She seemed kind of out of it, like she was deep in thought and refused to come back to us in the real world. I wondered what she was so deep in thought about though, I mean I totally understand that we are stuck in a forest with a killer out to get us but...still...did she think that she was going to be next?

As her and I searched I would continue to steal glances at her to see if there was any change in her mood. Sadly out of the time span from when we first left till now - at least an hour later- she still has made no change.

I mean she knows she can talk to me I don't know why she's over here acting like she has to go through this alone.

"Hey, um...Angie you know you can always talk to me, right?"

When I looked at her she physically cringed, like what I just said hurt her as if I just put salt on a wound. I waited for an answer but never got one, all I got was a simple nod and a small smile that didn't reach her eyes.

~/\~

On our way back to the plane with all the things we found which including: vines that could be used as string, edible flowers, and a small amount of firewood, Angie and I went to the stream that was nearby. Deciding that it was time to take a bath and get all the dirt from our bodies, the leaves and twigs out of our matted hair, and clean the rags that covered our bodies.

When we did we looked as presentable as one could be after all of what we have been through. Since we were satisfied with being clean now we both head back and find that everyone is on edge walking back and forth looking as if they had just seen a ghost, and not a friendly one at that.

When I look at around I notice that Imani and Nick have yet to return. Is that why everyone is on edge, I mean it would make sense it is getting late and they should have been back by now.

"Hey guys, where's Imani and Nick?"

Everyone looked up dread coming over their face. I rose one brow out of confusion why were they acting like this I mean if they were still gone we could just go search for them, and let's hope to god that that they were ok.

"Guys if their still gone don't worry we can just search for them, come on."

I turn to head in the direction I saw them go when a hand was placed on my shoulders, it was Simons.

"There's no need"

My head whipped around a glare forming on my face.

"What the hell you mean 'there's no need?"

"I mean that Nicks in the plane brutally injured, and Imani...according to Nick..."

My eyes wide and hands flailing around I gestured for him to continue "Yeah, get on with it."

He looked away rubbing his hands through his hair and down his face; he looked at Angie pure hatred flying through his eyes. He continued to glare at her until I walked in front of him looking him dead in his eye telling him to come out with already.

"According to Nick Imani was taken"

My heart stopped.

"B-by, w-who"

"Her."

My eyes grew wide as I slowly fell to the ground, she's gone. My sister is gone...no this all has to be a joke, there's no way that she was taken. But then again what reason would he have to lay, what reason would he have to make this up.
