A/N: Hey guys! So this is my first FanFic. I'm not quite use to putting my ideas into writing but I have so many stories in my head i've finally decided to share them. This is rated M as there will be swearing and sexual content in later chapters so be warned! With all that said and done I hope you enjoy it! ~ QN
I trudged through the forest, twigs and dried leaves snapped and crackled underneath my Dr Martin boots which were slightly muddy now due to the rain managing to drizzle its way through the thick canopy above. The rain seemed to stick to everything and despite my best efforts it managed to make it's way underneath the hood of my sweatshirt and raincoat, dampening my face, causing my dark hair to stick to my pale cheeks and forehead.
Huffing I pulled my heavy rucksack further up my back, feet throbbing my shoulders slowly started to follow in their wake along with every other muscle in my body, I knew it was because I had been walking non-stop for hours now but surely I was use to that so I knew that it was down to something else, something that had been bothering me since a few days ago, subtly starting as a slight tickle in the back of my throat, I was becoming sick.
I could feel it all through my body, my face was hot despite it not being the warmest of weather, my throat was sore and my nose was starting to get all stuffy, at least I think that was the medical term for it. To top everything off it was getting darker with each and every step I took! Yep my mood was currently matching the weather I was delightfully miserable 'oh perk the fuck up Chrissi! Things could be worse! You could still be stuck back at home!' a shiver ran down my spine at the thought of it.
Finding myself at a clearing I finally decided to stop 'Here will do nicely' I thought to myself shrugging the straps of my rucksack off my shoulders and letting it drop to the floor, sighing in relief as some of the tension melted away in them.
Crouching down I unzipped my bag and started to rummage through it pulling out my torch and my iPod so that I could check the time. I pushed the button to turn it and to my disappointment it was dead, typical! 'Well you hadn't charged it since the last town you where in so that would explain the lack life in it' I internally grumbled to myself.
After about forty-five minutes, give or take a few, I finally had my tent pitched with all my stuff inside including myself and had just zipped up my sleeping bag hoping that it would fight of most of the cold that was seeping in through the thin polyester of my current humble abode.
I sighed finally feeling myself relax and possibly succumbing to sleep, I yawned and just as I finished my face scrunched up and I sneezed 'Goddamnit! I knew it! I fucking well knew it!' I sighed and rubbed at my eyes 'Keep calm! If this turns out to be the shortcut you thought it will be then you'll be out of these woods in no time and be able to get some medicine and you'll be right as rain' smiling after calming myself down I yawned again, letting my eyes drift close to fall into the wonderful embrace of sleep.
I don't really know how long I was asleep but I was suddenly jolted out of my peaceful slumber and I didn't know exactly why. Frowning at the roof of my tent I wiggled my arms out of my sleeping bag to rub my eyes and let out a satisfied groan as my muscles stretched, unfortunately at that moment my bladder decided to let me know that it was awake also and I groaned again, this time in myself from my bag I shuffled out of it and crawled to the front of my tent, grabbing my boots I shoved them on my feet and exited my tent.
Trudging away from my tent and stopping beside a tree I undid my black skinny jeans, pushing them down along with my panties and squatted, sighing as I realised that I actually really needed to go. It was just as I finished and everything was back in place that I heard something off to my left, looking over I squinted, my emerald green eyes straining to see in the dark then another sound came to my right. I held my breath trying to listen, everything was deadly quiet except for that sound, it was familiar, it sounded like...footsteps!
My heart jackhammered in my chest, my breathing became ragged, I was frozen in place and then I seen something move from the corner of my eye ' shit! shit shit shit! RUN!'
