Well I was going to go back and change some things in past chapters but I don't know how….So as soon as I figure that out I change it lol…hope you guys enjoy chapter 9: )

----------------

Cody limps along in a slow run looking back at the pursuing bear. The fear in his body almost paralyzes him.

"Cody! Run! Zack screams at his bro from a distance.

He forgets about the pain and just runs ignoring the pain.

If I don't keep running I'm going to feel a lot more pain than this. He thinks to himself.

Zack stares at his brother from behind some trees.

"For a geek he seems to run like a athlete." Zack says to himself.

"Where are u Bro?" Cody says out loud starting to get winded.

"Over here, Follow the noise." Zack says.

Cody hears some trees rustling and leaps off the path he was running on. Trips and rolls to were his brother is. They both look back at the bear running at full speed and continue to watch as it runs by them. After a few moments of silence to make sure it was safe to talk. Zack looks down at his bro laying on his back and breathing heavily.

"Was that one of those bearcoons that ransacked us that time in the woods a few months ago?" Zack says trying to lighten the mood a little and to make his brother laugh.

"Very…funny." Cody says still taking heavy breathes.

Zack still laughing to himself about how his smarter brother can still say dumb things like that sometimes. Cody Gets stands back up and glares at his brother then smiles figuring his bro was just trying to make him feel better.

"Got a injury?" Zack says looking at Cody's ankle"

"I'll be ok it's just a flesh wound. Didn't break the skin just stings a little" Cody says.

"So what now? Cody asks looking to his brother for leadership once again.

"Well we can continue going straight…the same way the bear went or we can go to the right." Zack says pointing to the army of trees. Cody looks up and sees all the tree branches pointing up to the moon like there trying to escape from the woods just like him and his brother.

"Lets go this way I really don't want to be going the same way that the bearcoon is heading." Zack says still teasing his brother.

Cody laughs again and gives his bro a weak playful punch in the shoulder.

"Never going to let that go are you?" Cody asks with humor in his voice.

"Nope" Zack says.

Moving in out of the trees Cody starts to think about how close he just was to getting attacked by a bear. Being the sensitive as he feels tears to form up in the back of his eyes.

Cant start crying now…Zack is being strong for me I have to be strong for him….

Cody ponders to himself.

"You ok back there?" Zack asks after his long silence.

"Yes" Cody says trying not to sound upset about the recent events. Starting to feel unsure about getting out of here. After watching the news about how people getting lost in the woods aren't really found that often. Starting to think about that crazy guy who got them out of there resting earlier.

What was with that guy? It was a guy wasn't it? His facial features didn't seem like a human at all. The moon that was shining on his cheeks made his skin look like really wrinkled leather. Unless the wrinkles were really scars from the people before us who tried to fight him…or it off. Until it kills its helpless victims…or prey. The eyes to they just looked like black hole with small dim yellow lights in the middle.

Cody starts to try to snap out of his morbid state of thinking. He was scaring himself with his own thoughts.

I'm sure we haven't seen the last of him.

Cody lets one last thought slip by before looking around the darkness surrounding him and his brother.
