There it was again that shriek it sounded like a girl who just found the monster under her bed, she looked around again nothing. Where could it be coming from, Vairety thought to herself while she tried to pull her cousin along. After that “dip” in the lake her eyes were stinging and blurry, her jeans stuck to her heavily and that made it so much harder to walk let alone pull her cousin who was so dreadfully slow. She didn’t know if it was the water in her ears but she could hear heavy breathing. “What…do…you…think…it…is?” Ash whispered out of breath, there it was to their right but it sounded as if it was on top of them, “Sounds human.”
Vairety glanced up seeing one of the men in the black suits was stuck in one of the trees surrounding the lake, which by the way were all dead. He obviously hadn’t spotted them she thought, so this might be the only chance to get away and she didn’t want to find out if they were anymore of em here. “Come on, get your breath back because were gonna have to do a whole lot more running.” She whispered so the man wouldn’t here.
“What?” her cousin yelled, typical she thought. Afraid that the man heard them Vairety took off hoping her cousin would follow and somehow be fast about it. “This is such a pain!” she heard Ash screech in the distance, the sun was setting and Vairety saw a leaf littered path which lead she presumed to a town or something. As she was on the path she thought it best not to lose her cousin in this place if you could call it that.
When her cousin finally caught up Vairety looked down the path but all she could see was a couple of trees, lots of dirt and small rocks. They might as well go down it cause she certainly didn’t want to stay they night here, not with that man, not with that god forbid necklace, where was that necklace she looked at herself then at her cousin then realised that they had lost the only way back home where ever it was…
“Where is it?” she helplessly yelled.
“Where’s what Vee?” her cousin calmly replied.
“That god forbid necklace the one that put us here!” she said through tears, “ Don’t you want to go back home or what!” she gulped.
“ Vee, calm down for all you know this is just a dream no need to cry, okay?” Ash said looking down at her with meaningful eyes. Vairety knew she’d over reacted but it was just apart of who she was and her cousin knew that. “Okay.” She said through one last snivel.
She then straightened up and took a deep breath and told her cousin, “We’re going to head down this path follow it till we see a house or something to sleep in and we’ll figure out the rest when we get there.” Her cousin nodded and then the walked down the dry, dusty, leaf littered path together.
The sunset didn’t last long before they knew it, it was dark but not pitch black there was this eerie glow, which cast horrifying shadows from the low flying clouds. As time wore on there was no house, gave or hollow tree or anything, just rocks and the occasional tree. Her cousin was tired she could tell by the look in her eyes as she winged and moaned, Ash’s eyes were drooping looking at the ground as if it was a giant mattress or something.
While Vairety glanced around she suddenly heard her cousin’s footsteps stop. She turned round thinking the man had got her but Ash was on the ground eyes closed. Please don’t be dead please don’t be dead is all she could think, she raced over to her cousin and shook her, “Wake up Ashlee Woods, we’re all a little tired!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, very tired but that doesn’t mean you can dose off!!!!!!!!!! Besides you wouldn’t want to sleep here anyway, you don’t know what’s out here!!!!!!!!” as she yelled this in her cousin’s ear her eyes opened wide with confusion.
“ I’m sorry but it’s been a long day and this path is leading us nowhere-“ but before her cousin could finish they smelt smoke and something burning, food Vairety hoped.
She presumed her cousin was wide awake now or sleep walking because before she could say anything Ash had already took off down the path, she’s probably hungry Vairety thought as her stomach rumbled, either that or she had heard something behind them. Variety really didn’t want to find out if there was something behind her so she sprinted off after her cousin. As she caught up she found her cousin stopped in the middle of the path staring, “What are you doing we’ve gotta find that food-“ Vairety looked at her cousin then to what she was looking at. She thought to herself, no it can’t be can it…
