" What a Wonderful world we live in " (REMAKE)

Chapter 4

Yazzy groaned as she had blacked out from what happened previously. She felt huge amounts of pain around her small body, her body could be felt as bad as being covered by many cuts and bruises. She hiccuped as she slowly lifted her head in pain, slowly opening her eyes as her vision was foggy with her overwhelming tears spilling down her cheeks. ". . ? Where. . ?"

Yazzy slowly turned her head left and right, looking around the new environment, blinking some of her pained tears away as she sniffled. She wasn't in the building Trin took her in anymore. She was in some sort of campsite, she had winced and cried out as she tried to get on her knees and fell on her side, hugging herself tightly as the pain got more and more intense by any muscle movement. After a couple of minutes passed, she was soon panting heavily from the intense pain but soon raised herself up and sat on her knees, hiccuping softly as she soon realized something.

She was sleeping in a warm sleeping bag, next to her was a lantern of some sort and what was above her was some sort of silver rosary. She stared up at it for a bit before looking down to her knees, noticing the several bandages that covered injuries that seemed to be giving her the most pain on her arms and legs. She took a deep breath before beginning to crawl out of the small yellow tent that covered her head from the soft rain pouring so lightly, she was surprised to feel droplets of rain on her face.

She wiped her tears away, noticing the fire beginning to die down from the rain but sighed as she didn't know how to revive it, the rain soon beginning to take its last living breaths. She hesitantly looked around, crying out in surprise as she noticed her sweater was missing, feeling the cold wind blow onto her gently as she felt a chill down her spine. She hugged herself tightly as she looked around, tearing up once again.

She was in a forest, noticing a stream nearby as she sniffled, The tent she came from was the only one from what she could see anywhere nearby. Yaz hiccuped, hesitant to call out for help as she felt herself getting soaked from the rain. "T-Trin. . . !! B-Big Brother. . !! Where are you. . ??" She sniffled, beginning to walk down a trail but noticing the broken sign next to what seemed to be the entrance way, a small wooden fence lining up across the woods as some sort of barrier. She kneeled down and tried to read the pieces she found, picking up what pieces she could find and putting them close to each other, just enough to read what it had said before it was broken for whatever reason.

"-Weeping Willow Trails-" She read to herself and soon tilted her head, soon her eyes widened as she remembered something. "Th-This is the trail. . .Mommy always thought. . was creepy. . The one with the ghost stories and s-spooky cats she told me about. . .I thought she said. . it was gone years ago. . . . " Yaz was hesitant before shaking her head, looking around as she sniffled and sighed, gulping as she knew what she had to do. "This is the only place I can go to. . . I . . don't want to find out. . who took me. . or find out . . . why. . S-Stranger Danger. . ." She whimpered before taking a deep breath.

"B-Be Brave. . . You can't be a scaredy cat like Daddy said. . Be. . T-Tough. . " She took a deep breath and puffed up her chest, holding in her breath as she walked down the trail, as if to scare anyone who could possibly hurt her. In her mind, It seemed to work. But what was up ahead, knew She would cry and scream in fear once it was to be witnessed by her, and that thought haunted her as she suddenly thought about it more. It was slowly making her breath out the breath she held in, hesitant to think or see what could be ahead. A bear, A wolf maybe? Those monsters everyone was running away from? Who knows, She was going to find out one way or another.

As the rain seemed to stop, there was nothing but silence in the air, making Yazzy uncomfortable and shiver as she didn't hear any birds from anywhere nearby. She continued to walk the path until she was completely surrounded by the tall trees of the woods. The silence was making her more and more scared until she heard groaning from the distance. ". . ?" She didn't think about calling out as she stopped on her tracks, her curiosity getting the best of her and began to walk down to where she heard where the groaning could be coming from. She continued until she noticed another campsite, but different from the one she woke up in.

There were two tents that had some tears and a dead campfire, dying from the rain before, at least what Yazzy assumed of what killed the fire. There were bags of what contained food and clothing of some sorts inside one of the tents. She, of course, felt her stomach growl softly at the sight of them as she noticed the granola bars from one of the backpacks and hugged her stomach, trying to resist the urge to steal without knowing who it belonged to. She noticed a car near the small campsite, the hood and possibly the engine smashed onto the tree, the damage being too much for the tilting tree to handle as it was leaning against another tree next to it.

Yazzy sighed but whined as she felt her stomach growl more, pain inflicting onto her as her hunger was becoming more unbearable by the minute. She felt horrible as she approached the backpack and began to grab the granola bars and eat them one by one, tears forming as she felt her stomach beginning to feel relieved and calm down. She continued, only to eat three bars as she stopped.

"This isn't mine. . . . . I hope I don't get in trouble for this. ." She sniffled, tearing up as she no longer felt the harsh pain from her hunger, only to regret for doing what she was taught was wrong. She shook her head as she started to gather half of the granola bars and stuffed them in her pocket from her jacket and her pants. She suddenly gasped as she heard what brought her here in the first place, but only louder as it was closer than she expected. She hesitantly stood up as she began to slowly approach what she could hear where the groans of those monsters she began to fear so much. She soon froze in place, seeing it with her own eyes, what she assumed was making all the noise was really what she thought was.

She felt nauseous as she saw the remains of what looked like a camper that owned the camp she was just in, tied against the tree but with ropes but the corpse itself was trying to get out, yet wasn't doing much as all it did was reach out to nothing until it noticed Yazzy. It soon began to weakly turn its head to stare at her, beginning to reach for her as She held in her gasp, her beginning to shake but shook her head.

" No. . . I can't be scared. . . I have to. . Find a way to defend myself. They hurt everyone and. . . Took away mommy and daddy from me. . " Yazzy began to hiccup as she remembered the car crash, beginning to cover her ears as she got on her knees and cried as she remembered hearing her mother short scream before the crushing of metal filled her ears. The crash was still fresh as ever in her mind, the only thing that scared her more than what she was told were monsters.

Yazzy soon screamed as she felt a hand grab her shirt from behind, pulling her back to the ground hard enough to make her cry out and hit her head hard against something solid. She whined softly as she heard two voices around her.

"EY!! Thatsa fooking kid! The hell are ye doing Fred?!" One sounded like a teenage boy, his voice cracking by a little with his heavy accent that Yazzy didn't recognize. She began to shake as she tried to get back up but was kicked down by the person who pulled her to the ground, making her bash her head into what was solid once again, blood beginning to show. Yazzy assumed what she hit was some sort of pointy rock, making her head hurt like internal hell.

" Kid or not, you don't fucking know if this kid is infected or not! She was literally WAY too close to that fucking thing! You think we can be all 'Oh do you want some candy while we look for your parents?', WHEN WE need help OURSELVES!" Another boy growled and shouted, this one scaring Yazzy more but her head was pounding in pain, her beginning to tear up as she curled up into a ball and covered her ears from the sudden ringing.

" This had to be a nightmare, This is all a bad dream and I'll wake up. Mommy will wake me and I get to see my brother in the hospital again. He's better and gets to come home after so long, Mom and Dad finally stop fighting after so long. . . Right. . ? Please God. . . Please . . " Yazzy thought to herself as tears rushed down the side of her head, slowly going still as she continued to hear the two voices argue, her vision getting blurry before going black.

" Please. . "
