That's when I soon realized that Jess's dad could have gone in any direction past this point. Worry began creeping up on me.

i stepped out into the clearing looking for any trace of him i stumbled across small patches of flattened grass they were in a pattern and i realized they were recent footsteps i traced them to the center of the clearing when i stopped there in front of me were two footsteps by themselves and to the right more however they were more spaced out and in no particular pattern other than the direction

Something shiny caught my eye below me. I knelt down and picked up a piece of ejected brass. I looked at it and began thinking about what had happened. I came to the conclusion that Jess's dad had walked into the clearing and fired the three rounds we heard before running away to my right, back into the darkness of the woods.

I wondered what could have made him run and if it was the same thing he fired at. Or perhaps he tried to run back to us but lost his sense of direction and went the wrong way. Kay? A masculine scream came from my right. I turned and stood, recognizing the voice of my girlfriend's father. Kay, run! Get out now! came from the treeline.

It sounded loud and desperate, followed by a horrifying scream of pain. I raised my rifle, pulled the bolt slightly back. A round was chambered. I clicked the safety off, double-checked that the bolt was fully forward, and ran towards the treeline.

just before i reached it the scream stopped and so did i i listened carefully not a single sound until i heard my name from behind me i turned and saw nothing again my name was called by a voice that i didn't recognize yet this time i couldn't tell what direction it came from

i shouted for jess's father and got nothing in return i turned back to where i originally heard him and pushed past the branches and shrubs as i passed the first tree i saw blood splattered on the ground in front of me my gaze followed the trail which led to a blood-soaked rifle with a hand and arm still gripping it In that moment, I was stricken with shock.

My eyes were locked on the rifle, my heart beat rapidly, and my breath was panicked and uncontrolled as if I had run miles. I couldn't move. Ka, ka, kei, ha, help, me, pulled me out of my trance. My eyes darted in all directions, and I frantically turned around in circles, scanning my surroundings. K, help, came from a tree just past the rifle. The voice was not one I knew.

It was hollow and demonic, as if someone was pretending to be a talking zombie. My mind jumped to the thought of Jess's dad being injured. I ran forward to the tree and found nothing. K, came from behind me towards the clearing. I began panicking and started shouting for him.

k keep her key her safe keep her safe screamed through the woods before a horrid inhuman scream came from all around me i ran back towards the clearing pushing past branches and focusing on not losing my footing my hands gripped my rifle tightly as i used it for momentum to push past any limit my body had just in front of me was the tree line leading to the opening
