The night was oddly cold for July, which only added to my apprehensiveness. Maybe I should just stay home. I thought quietly to myself. This town had a recent string of murders, and going out with my friends on a night like this just made things worse. Tentatively, I walked away from my house in the direction of the woods.
Okay, now I KNEW something was up. Why would we go to the woods?
My friend Alisa turned to me, "Apparently, someone got murdered in the woods. So Sadie and I thought it was would cool to check it out."
She shrugged, and Sadie nodded in agreement.
I swallowed hard, "Erm…guys, I don't think this is exactly good idea."
"Oh, lighten up, Carrie!" Sadie mocked and ran up farther ahead.
"Seriously though, guys. This seems like a bad idea."
Alisa narrowed her eyes at me, "Ya know, Care, I wish you'd stop being such a wuss."
I was taken aback and I took a step back.
"You suck, Care. Why don't you just run back home?"
Now that hurt. I felt tears flood my eyes, but I blinked them away. Alisa and Sadie had run out of my view. I sighed, and turned around. Oh, well. I thought and begin walking. That was when I heard Alisa's high pitched, blood-curdling scream.
