Sorry for the wait, life is busy!

Chapter 3

"Annnnnna!"

I groaned and ducked down lower into the brushes around the tree. I left my backpack on the ground back there so they might think I was kidnapped, I don't care, they think I a psycho any way.

I wiped my face and I pulled my knees to my chin. I sniffled and I heard the bushes rustle around me, "Anna! I found you!"

I didn't look up from the ground, I wouldn't show any acknowledgement. Sarah kneeled down in front of me, "Anna, are you okay?"

I looked up at her and snapped, "No, I'm just peachy, the two guys that aren't freaked out by me now are, my wrist is killing me, and I have a lot of homework! Life sucks….."

She put a hand on my shoulder, but I pushed it off and I stood up. I looked to my backpack and I grabbed it. I threw it on my shoulder and I started to walk.

"Anna wait!"

"What!" I turned and glared into Ethan's face.

"Anna, what is going on?"

I narrowed my eyes, "You won't understand."

He grabbed my shoulders and stared into my eyes.

I knew the moment he touched my shoulders a vision was coming.

Ethan and Benny running through the night carrying something and an evil laughing was behind them. I saw a small shadow carrying something that looked like a knife. A killer gnome?

I shook my head, "What?"

He looked at me and I saw his eyes were fogged a little, like was about to come out of a vision. I pushed off his hands and I bolted down the street.

I rounded the corner and I ran full force into Benny. He pinned me against the fence and I said, "What is up with you hurting me today!"

"Sorry, I was told to stale you."

I rolled my eyes and I stomped on his foot. He yelped and I ran toward my house.

Once I was inside, I yelled to my mom to not let anyone in for me. I ran up to my room and I slammed my door shut. I dug around in my draw until I found my hunting knife. I hate hunting but I keep it for protection.

I strapped it to my belt, my binoculars, my night vision goggles, and my midnight pretzels. I looked at the clock, it was about 6:30, I was sitting outside the school for three hours.

It got dark around 7, so I should head out now.

I heard the three sets of footsteps, and once my door creaked open I tossed my knife and it stuck in the door frame. I fixed my hoody to cover my belt as I grabbed my knife and I opened my door.

"I'm goin out, if you want to stay, feel free."

"Anna, wait. We need to talk to you."

I held up my knife, "Still need to talk to me now, it's getting dark, I'll be back later."

"Anna, wait!"

I glared at Sarah, "What?"

"You can't do that tonight!"

I nodded, "Yes, yes I can, I do it every night. I'm perfectly fine!"

"Anna, no."

"What do you need to add Benny?"

"What are you even doing?"

"I told you!" Sarah hissed through her sharp teeth.

"You told them!" I practically screamed.

She cringed, "Maybe?"

I groaned and stomped my foot, "How much?"

"All? Except, what you are going to do."

I took a deep long breath, "Fine, I'll goin hunting tonight. You can leave now saying that I am a whack job."

No one moved, I looked at my watch, "I have to go."

I turned and ran down the steps and out to my post.

A little after 9.

"Sssh, this way!" my ears perked up to the sound of Ethan and Benny creeping along the bushes.

I crouched on my branch and I looked down onto the street. I saw Ethan and Benny running down the middle of the street, being followed by a….scarecrow. I hated the things, and my friends, no matter how mad I was at them, were in danger. I gripped my knife, I jumped from the branch, and I landed in the street, which scared the crap out of Ethan and Benny.

I whipped my knife at the scarecrows head and it was cut cleanly off. I flung my rope at it and I had it hog tied in under a minute.

I stepped down on its quivering headless body and put my hands on my hips, "Where did this scarecrow come from?"

"The-old-haunted-farm." Ethan said out of breath.

"How did it become demonized?"

"DO not cast spells there!" Benny said leaning forward to catch his breath.

I stepped off the scarecrow and walked toward them, "Wait, cast spells?"

Ethan slapped him on the arm and I heard a rustling behind me. I turned and before I could register anything, a scarecrow had my knife, but backwards, and whacked me on the back of the head. I fell to the ground and blacked out. One strong scarecrow.

hope you enjoyed it!

Reveiws are love!

PEACE OUT!
