Heather and Alejandro walked through the forest, trying to just focus on the woods, each of them not saying a word.
"So Heather..."
Heather groaned, "Ugh, I was enjoying the silence." Alejandro rolled his eyes, "You know we could like...die any second right?"
Heather stopped, staring at him. "You say that to me when we were almost killed and you and I are in the woods together? Smart move Al."
Alejandro's eye twitched, "How many times do I need to tell you to stop calling me that!?" Heather sat on a nearby rock, "Look Alejandro, this is just...crazy." She pushed a strand of her dark hair behind her ear. "One second we're on a bus driving to this unknown place, the next second Courtney is on the verge of dying. Duncan's a mess, Gwen isn't as annoying, Trent is still crushing on Gwen and you...." She stopped.
Alejandro sat on another rock, facing her. "Look, uh, can I ask you something?"
Heather nodded.
"On the bus, when we were freaking out, you held on to me. Did that..." Alejandro cleared his throat, "Did that mean something?"
Heather stood, blushing. "Of course not! In the uh...heat of the moment I did a stupid thing and therefore, we all forget about it, got it?"
Alejandro stood, "Fine..fine."
Heather nodded, "Good. Now let's just...continue walking in silence...please?"
Alejandro nodded and they started walking away, not making any eye contact. That was when Alejandro noticed something on Heather's arm.
"Um Heather..."
"Shut up!"
"Heather look at your arm!"
Heather looked down, seeing red markings on her arm, spelling out something.
"Después de Courtney, eres el siguiente? What does that mean?" She looked at Alejandro, who looked like he was going to puke.
"It says...after Courtney, you are next..."
"Next? What do you mean next?"
"Next as in....oh shit. Courtney might be dead!"
Heather stared up at him, "Fuck." She turned the other direction and started to run back, throwing her high heeled wedges off into the trees.
"Heather!" Alejandro screamed back at her, chasing behind.
As the two were racing to get back, they didn't notice a dark figure staring at them, a blood stained knife in their hand.
