Chapter 2

A Shocking Surprise

35 Minutes Later

"Drive faster, Sam!," yelled an inpatient Cat from the back on the motorcycle.

"Hang on!, we are almost there!," yelled Sam from the front to reassure her roommate that everything will be alright.

"Aw, man!," yelled Sam in disappointment as the motorcycle began to slow down.

"What's wrong?," asked Cat as she saw her roommate repeatedly kicking the motorcycle.

"I think it's out of gas; We are going to have to continue this on foot," answered Sam as she began dragging the motorcycle by her side.

10 Hours Ago

Ellie regained consciousness and found herself still lying on the road. Ellie stared at her wrist watch and yelled in frustration, "I was seriously knocked out for only 4 minutes!"

Ellie tried to get up but froze when she heard footsteps walking in her direction for the second time.

"Uh,oh," exclaimed Ellie as she stared at a bear running in her direction.

Present Time

"Sam, look over here!," yelled Cat as she observed some markings on the road. Sam looked at the claw marks and said, "Man, I feel so sorry for that poor person".

"Sam, look over there as well!," yelled Cat as she observed another shocking item.

"Oh my god!," yelled Sam as she noticed the stuffed animal lying stationary on the other side of the empty road, now torn apart into several pieces of cloth and cotton.

"That belongs to Ellie!," yelled Cat as she read the name tag on the stuffed animal and began to put the pieces together.

"Does this mean she got eaten by the bear or whatever it was?," asked Sam, now completely paranoid over her mistake.

"Ok, there is no need to panic," said Cat as her heart began to beat faster, "If we can find the bear and get Ellie out of it's tummy, I think we are good".

"Cat, seriously, how are you a senior?"

"Oh, easy! I guessed all C's on the CSA test", answered back Cat. Confused, Cat prayed, "Let's just hope she is still alive".

"What if she is dead?," asked Sam, already in enough trouble with the law.

"Then I'll just have to arrest you two," said a mysterious voice yielding a gun in her gun. Both teenage girls held their hands up and turned around to surrender themselves and found a familiar woman in a police uniform.

"Ms. Farber? What are you doing here?," asked Cat as she began to panic.

"You really think I would let you two brats look for my daughter alone like that," acknowledged Ms. Farber as she pointed her gun at Sam.

"No, please don't arrest me. I still want to go to senior prom!" cried Cat as she didn't want to go to jail at a young age.

"No, dear. I'm arresting your other friend here", as she pointed to Sam.

"Why are you only taking me? Why not her?," rebelled Sam as the woman walked up behind her and handcuffed her.

"It was your genius idea to hide the money in the pineapple, launch that stuffed animal into a rocket, and leave my daughter in a cemetery with a creepy guy!," said Ms. Farber as she glared at Sam, the culprit responsible for the supposed death of her young daughter.

"What? This is unfair!" yelled Sam as she felt sorry.

"You have the right to remain silent. If you can't pay for a lawyer, the state will provide you with one," added Kim's mother, reading Sam her amendment rights as she dragged her into the police car.

"Wait, you can't just leave me here! I still need to go home!" yelled Cat as she chased behind the car going at 30 mph. Unfortunately, Cat tripped over a rock and missed them.

"Ouch!," said Cat as she held her arm in pain, "I guess it's just me and Sam's empty motorcycle" as she began dragging the motorcycle with her as she began her long walk back to her apartment.

10 Hours Ago

Ellie tried crawling away from the bear but her muscles were too exhausted from walking to properly function. She took Poober up towards her chest to shield herself from any attack. The bear began running towards Ellie on all fours and picked her up by the neck.

"Let..me..go!," yelled Ellie as she tried to speak as she began to suffocate. The bear took a look at her stuffed animal and tossed her away from him.

"Ouch!," yelled Ellie, as she landed onto a hard concrete road.

'The forest! I should run!" thought Ellie as she quietly ran into the woods. As the bear was too distracted by ripping Poober into shreds.
