A Night in the Woods
by Michayla
All year Allison and her friends have been yearning for their annual
camp out. When they got there, they started to make the tent and build a fire when
Kasey the oldest of the three, decided to gather wood for their fire. Her and Rachel
started heading into the woods to collect their supplies while Allison continued
setting up the tent.
“They've been gone a while.” Allison thought to herself. She waited by the
unlit fire wishing for some warmth.
After what seemed to be close to an hour
of waiting, she decided to go looking for her friends. She had just headed
into the thickest part of the forest when she heard a noise. She started
running and the noise continued to grow louder. It was now a menacing laugh.
She was terrified; she thought for sure her friends were dead.
She stopped
dead and her tracks when she saw the track of blood stretching about three
feet across a pile of fallen leaves. Her heavy breathing was the only the
thing audible at this point. She stood staring at the blood wondering what
to do next.
She suddenly felt a cold hand on her shoulder and she let out a
shrill cry. She turned around faster than a speeding bullet only to see
Kasey and Rachel laughing like hyenas. They had tricked her.
She let out a
long breath, before hitting Rachel on the arm. “Not funny guys,” Allison
cried. “You had me scared to death!”
