Kellyn.

The thing was right behind me, I could hear it ripping out the ground. At one point I went flying and hit the ground hard as the ground rippled beneath me. I lay there my heart pounding, not exactly sure what to do. I lay still, my eyes were squeezed shut. Because of all the fear and the monster nearly on top of me I didn't realize there was no sound. I opened my eyes and flipped onto my back. It was gone.

I got up shakily and looked around, nothing moved. A few birds started to chirp then suddenly went silent. I whirled around looking for any movement. Nothing. I couldn't believe it I had escaped. I slowly started walking away, trying to figure out where the beach was. I was dying of thirst but didn't know what to do. What would Jen do? Probably tell me eat a leaf or something.

I thought about all the things Jen and I had done together. How much trouble we have gotten each other into. I prayed she was alright. I kicked the dirt around as I walked submerged deeply into my thoughts when something ahead of me snapped. I was looking at the ground when it happened and my head shot up. I looked around, the foliage was so dense I couldn't see to far ahead of me. I looked around but heard nothing, the hair on the back of my neck rose and I let the thought that maybe I had imagined it creep in. When I heard another nose, I crept forward and parted leaves. I looked and nearly fell apart, below me was a clearing at the end of the hill and people were moving about. I stepped forward to reveal myself when I hear a crack, I looked up to see a huge log with spikes come hurtling down towards me. I fell onto my back as it swung past.

I heard shouts and people scrambling up towards me. I crawled on the ground as the thing swung by again but closer to the ground now. As soon as I was past the trap I bolted up and ran back the way I came.

I saw Jen lift the gun up and look through it, she spun the revolver and clicked into place. She cocked it and made a noise as if she was shooting it. I glanced around the store as she checked everything out.

"I thought you would have gone for something more medieval." I said

Jen glanced up and her brown hair fell into her eyes. "I'm just having a look. I probably will go all medieval on Jason's ass though. John says I can bring him down. Jason that is."

I laughed but felt like I was being watched, as if suddenly her plan would fail and we'd be gunned down. I shook my head, I don't care if the cop had told her she had permission to kill Jason, I thought. I didn't even want to know how Jen got permission and how she won't get thrown in jail for life for that.

"Corrupt system it is." I whispered.

"I know." Jen said

It freaked me out when Jen did that. When she answered your whispers no matter how silent. I shook myself and watched her mess with a few other weapons.

"I need a vacation." I said loudly.

Jen nodded, not lifting her head up from the weapons case, "I have that figured out as well."

She suddenly stood straight and turned to me. "You ready?" she said coolly.

I noticed what she had bought, she held it loosely in her hands. I had a wave of doubt hit me and Jen smiled. She clenched the gun and walked past me.

"Lets do this."

I ran until I came bursting through the trees onto sand. The sun was starting to sink lower in the sky and gave everything a soft warm glow. I looked behind me but heard nor saw anything. I looked around on the beach, people still mourned and the tail end of the plane smoked a bit. I heard yelling and was drawn to the noise. I looked near the ocean and saw a girl yelling at a guy.

"Jen." I whispered and ran towards her.

I had to tell her we were not alone.
