Door screeched, when Benjamin opened them, they were standing in something like an entrance hall. Another thunder crossed the night sky and enlightened the room, upon which Bethany jumped, spooked, when she spotted the hunting trophies on the walls, deers, boars, raccoons… “Wait for me here, I’ll check the electricity.” Benjamin said, leaving Bethany in the room with dead animal heads. She picked her phone and with hands, shaking from the cold rainy night, she typed SOS messages with their location to friends in camp, hoping, praying for all saints for the message to go through. “The cords are destroyed…” Benjamin returned to the room, scaring the living daylights from Bethany. “Sorry baby… but there is some wood over there, in the next room, so we might be able to start a fire. Do you still have the lighter that Ross gave you to look after?” he asked her while he led her to the spacious living room. This place was some sort of a hunters shag, it could be pretty cozy, if someone took care of it.Fire was soon on and the room was drowning in soft warmness and dim light. “I don’t think that anyone lives here…” Bethany said silently, looking around the room, that was covered in dust and dirt. What used to be beautiful tapestry on the wall was now dirty hanging. Even the bear that was by the sofa wasn’t looking like anything else than trash…

Benjamin sat next to Bethany, pulling off the top layer of clothes that were wet, to let them dry. She followed his example and soon they were sitting there in shirts and pants, only clothing that stayed dry, while their jackets were spread by the fire, to dry. “I’ll go out, maybe there are some berries to eat.” he said standing up. “But hurry Jimmy, I have a bad feeling…” she said scared. For that short time, that they were staying there, she felt like they weren’t alone. 

She picked up the torch and decided to go look in the next room. She didn’t know why, but something was pulling her there… The Doors weren’t locked and didn’t even screech much, she looked around, torch facing to the floor. Then she froze, petrified, looking into 2 objects of crimson red in the left corner, like two smallest lights… her chest tightened and her breath quickened along with her heartbeat… then a big thunder almost deafened her so much that the torch fell out of her hand. She quickly picked it up and pointed it to the direction, from which the two weird lights were coming… finding nothing. Just a regular corner of a room, empty… that was probably her imagination. Then she moved the torch more to the right and screamed on top of her lungs…

Meanwhile Benjamin successfully found some raspberries and some mushrooms that they can prepare. He was proud of himself, but also pretty disappointed, he got them into this trouble. Only if he stopped her, or maybe if they went all together, Samuel is afterall local, he’d know the way out of the forest… but he rather blindly followed his fiance to the unfamiliar forest… He looked up, towards the shag, nothing changed, the flickering light of the fireplace was enlightening one of the dirty windows… Then he spotted two light spots, like small torches, crimson red ones… he felt uneasy, something was telling him, he wasn’t alone, well no one was in the forest, right? With all the nocturnal animals… Then he heard Bethany’s scream and the weird lights became the last of his problems…

He rushed into the living room and to the opened door, finding Bethany standing like a statue, looking in front of her. His eyes followed the shamrock green eyes of his fiance. He lost his breath, his heart stopping for a moment, when his eyes met the empty sockets of a remains, that once were eyes of a  human being. IT was more less a skeleton, that was covered by a thin layer of dry skin, just sitting there on a chair, like it was watching TV or something… “Come, there’s no need to stay in this room…” he said pulling on the hem of her shirt, to make her move. She obliged, returning to the sofa in the living room. At least water was still running in there, probably from an underground well. He managed to find a pot and wash it, putting the mushrooms to water and cooking them in the fireplace. It wasn’t the tastiest meal on earth, but at least they weren’t hungry anymore.

Later on, he laid on the sofa, and Bethany joined him, Normally they would have a wild sex by now, but that was out of question, with Mr. pergament in the other room, plus Benjamin wasn’t able to push the crimson lights out of his head. Bethany shifted closer to his face, capturing his lips in soft sweet kiss, but as it went with them, they both were freaks, when it came to physical contact, so the soft kiss remaindered soft for only a few moments, before they deep end it and started heavily making out on the old dusty sofa. He always loved the feeling of her snake bites lip piercings, cold metal with her hot breath and warm lips was turning him on. Her fingers in the top part of his hair, as he was wearing undercut, tangled in soft blond strands with black roots, he followed her example grabbing a handful of her firefly rusty long silky hair with one hand, squeezing her slightly thickened butt, that made her form more of a pear, giving to the rest of her body that was shaped in sporty slim way. She was keeping her hands on his firm muscular chest. 

After a while, they broke the kiss and he looked into her eyes. Never ceased to surprise him with their unusual colour… shamrock green irises with caramel outline of the iris. With every blink of her eyes, long dense eyelashes fluttered like the eyes of collectible dolls. He brushed a string of her hair behind her ear, softly smirking when his fingertips brushed the area, behind her ear, where a little dove tattoo was. “You’re so beautiful…” he sighs, feeling like he won a lottery, having such an amazing fiance. “That scar makes you look badass, you know?” she leaned to his face again, ringer running on a small scar that was on his shoulder, since his 8 years of age, when he cracked his shoulder blade. “Does it though?” he smirked “Do you like me looking badass?” he teased her, knowing the answer in advance. She kissed him, softly and lovingly, before she rested her head on his chest, letting the sound of rain, firewood cracking and his heartbeat work as a lullaby.
