Running and running trying to find an exit, frightened thinking I might die. An exit in sight and I’m now free but what about the creature.
“Are you ready, do you have everything we need?” asked Max. “Yes, and I bought a new tent for the trip,” said Lisy. “Max, John, Kattie, we have everything we need and it’s now time to go,” said Lisy. They all get in the car and drive to Demon Forest for a camping trip. With excitement, they all run out of the car and set up the tents. Max and John go look for wood out in the forest to make a fire for the night.
“Hey, did you hear that?” asked John. “No, why what did you hear now!” said Max. “I thought I heard a growl,” said John with sweat coming down his forehead. “We should get out of here and tell the girls,” said John.
So they left and while they were walking, John starts getting scared again. “I feel someone is following us,” said John. “Stop your crying and keep walking, it’s maybe a deer,” said Max. They enter the camp and the girls were gone. Not a thing was heard.
“Ahhhh!” screamed out some girls. “It’s them, I told you there was something following us and it now has the girls!” yelled out John. They ran by where they heard the scream. Both of Max and John’s eyes popped open.
“Yeah, John, they seem fine. They are just swimming and splashing each other,” said Max. Max and John just sat there watching the girls have fun in their bikinis. Then Max heard something and he looked. He saw these evil red eyes. Max was too scared to tell John because then John would start making fun of him.
It turned dark and they all went into their tents, the girls in one tent and the boys in another. The boys wanted to share tents, but the girls didn’t. “Ahhhh!” Someone screamed and all of a sudden it stopped. “Lisy!” screamed out Kattie. “What happened!” said Max in a tired half-sleep way.
“Lisy, she’s gone and look there’s a trail of blood, it leads to the woods,” said Kattie with tears going down her cheeks. “We should go home guys,” said Max. His fear was really starting to show and he was terrified now, not even scared, he was frightened. “Why Max, are you scared? Did you hear something too,” said John in a sarcastic way. “No and yes, well, I saw these evil eyes and heard a growl,” said Max, worried that they might laugh at him. “Well, you could have told us that,” said John, starting to giggle but stopping, because he didn’t want to make fun of Max.
They all heard this really loud crack, like a stick breaking in half or pieces. Their smiles turned to frowns and they tried not to move, but they got scared and ran to their tents. They heard the footsteps coming closer and closer. It got close enough and tried to get in the tent Kattie was in. The tent was shaking violently and Kattie was screaming at the top of her lungs. Then all of a sudden it was silent and everything was still. They slowly got out of their tents and nothing was there.
“Oh my god, Kattie are you OK?” said Max and John. “I’m fine, it’s just a scratch,” said Kattie in pain, bleeding badly. It got dark and they all were scared that the creature would come back. Kattie started acting weird and crawling on the ground like a wild dog prepared for an attack. “Kattie, what are you doing?” asked Max. Kattie growled at him and started going crazy. She grabbed Max around the neck and choked him until he stopped breathing.
John started running away and kept looking back checking to see if Kattie would chase him. John looked back one more time and saw both Kattie and the creature chasing him. Running and running, trying to find an exit, frightened, thinking I might die. An exit in sight and now I’m free but what about the creature.
