Quick Review on the story thus far:

Camping. The group is assigned on another camping trip, because Tracy is too lazy to deal with the campers, not to mention she has to 'train' Misty. The Blair Witch Project takes place as Bulma tells the 'horrifying' tale, when in actuality it some-what comes true. An evil stalker is out for revenge on the group and all ready took down 2/6 campers (Krillin and 18). Here's where our story continues.

Story:

Night fell and the remaining group members crashed near the fire. Unaware that Krillin was taken, the group sits with an eerie feeling settling over them.

"I wonder where Krillin is, it's not like him to stay out during the night hours, not even at home!" Chi-Chi said, looking around. Goku slightly bowed his head and looked towards the woods.

"It seems as if these woods are really evil. just like that old folk lore." He replied. Bulma looked at him with interest, "What folk lore?"

"Never mind, woman, it's a stupid old story that didn't really happen, it's just used to scare the shit out of younger campers," Vegeta said, his voice even more irritated then usual. Bulma glared at him, "Tell it, Goku."

Vegeta rolled his eyes, and Bulma put her head on his shoulder, Goku hesitated.

"It all began a long time ago, four campers were out in these woods on a camp outing. nobodies really sure what happened but they said that an evilness, a dark shadow, the spirit of the forest, swooped over the group and swallowed them. There have been many disappearances over the years, and each time. only the remains of their clothing are found. Some say they go insane by the 'sounds' that the evil spirit creates, other's say they are taken one, by one. who knows, it may not. Chi-Chi! I can't breathe!" Goku whined as Chi-Chi hugged him around the waist, trying to ward the images from her mind.

"No, no, no! Hey, what are you sitting on, Goku?" Chi-chi asked as she felt a piece of paper brush her arm.

"What?" Goku said standing up, a piece of paper drifted to the ground, covered in dirt. Chi-chi picked it up and opened it. Her complexion went white, as a sheet. She made gasping noises and brought her hand to her throat.

"Chi! What is it?" Bulma asked, immediately getting up and taking the paper. She read it, wide-eyed.

"What does it say, woman?" Vegeta asked, getting up and rushing towards her. He took the paper and read it aloud.

------ Another captured, you should be careful. or it will be your doom. 2/6 ----

"What the hell.?" Vegeta swore as he saw the letter.

"We have to find our friends. we have to!" Chi-chi was in hysterics.

"We can't now, the woods aren't safe, we should search by day!" Bulma said, consoling her friend.

"All right, let's get some sleep. I'm tired," Chi-chi said, the tone of her voice unusual.

"I agree," Bulma said, looking at Chi-chi. Her friend was acting weird. Chi- chi grabbed Goku's hand and drug him into the tent.

"Should we leave the fire burning?" Bulma asked, not even looking at Vegeta.

"Why, nothing will happen as long as I'm here!" Vegeta said, crossing his arms. Bulma turned around to look at him, just as she imagined, he was wearing his arrogant smirk. She walked up to him, "You're right, but let's just keep it going, in case."

Vegeta rolled his eyes, however was lead by Bulma towards the tent.

----

Bulma sat up, something had awakened her. She didn't know what it was however. She listened trying to calm her racing heart, when she heard a twig snap outside. She sat rigid, and placed her hand on Vegeta's arm, which was wrapped around her waist.

"Vegeta," came her hoarse whisper, carried throughout the tent, it seemed to echo. Vegeta blearily opened his eyes and was about to scold her for waking him up when she hugged his head to her bosom.

"Listen," she whispered. Another sound of a twig snapping was heard; Vegeta untangled himself from Bulma's embrace.

"Stay here," he whispered, "Don't move."

He crept up to the flap of the tent and quietly un-zippered it; then looking back he met Bulma's eyes, she could see a prick of fear in those obsidian orbs. He slipped out of the tent. Bulma quickly got up and ran to view outside of the tent. She looked around but saw nothing, so she stepped out.

"Vegeta?" her voice carried throughout the grounds. She heard some rustling coming from behind the tent, almost as if two people were fighting. She quickly ran around and saw Vegeta, grasping his mid-section. She sprinted towards him when someone caught her under the arms and whisked her into the bushes. Vegeta turned his head just in time to see her feet being dragged into the shrubbery.

He got up and hurried after her, he jumped into the bushes and searched frantically around, but found nothing. He heard twigs being broken and ran after the noise.

He was getting closer, he could feel it. the sounds of running were getting louder.

Suddenly a shriek pierced through the air, and Vegeta caught the attacker in sight. He lunged forward and tackled him to the ground, the man tried threw Bulma towards a log, where her head connected. Vegeta looked up and the man took the chance to kick Vegeta in the face. He laughed at Vegeta and ran.

Vegeta clutched his nose as he crawled over to Bulma.

"Woman? Woman? Bulma!" he tried to shake her awake, to no avail. Bulma lay unconscious on the log.

---

Chi-Chi woke up to the smell of burning wood. She sat up frantically forgetting, momentarily mind you, where she was. She looked at the ceiling of the tent and put her hand over her racing heart.

Looking around she saw Goku, snoring and drooling on her pillow then over to Bulma who had bandages on her head.

BANDAGES?!?!?! She looked frantically around for Vegeta, who must have been out near the fire pit. She quickly got up and ran outside.

"Vegeta!" she screamed, "What happened to Bulma."

Vegeta winced, his nose still bleeding from the attack. Chi-Chi got one good look at him and screamed, "What happened?"

"BANSHEE! DO YOU MIND NOT YELLING?!" he replied with equal force.

"Hey guys, what's all the screaming about?" asked a sleepy Goku emerging from the tent.

"YOU DIDN'T SEE?" Chi-Chi screamed.

"STOP YELLING!!!" Vegeta shouted back, "YOU'RE GOING TO WAKE THE WOMAN!!!"

Chi-chi looked down sheepishly, "sorry," she mumbled.

Goku looked in the tent at Bulma, "What happened?"
