DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN JASON, CRYSTAL LAKE, OR ANYTHING ELSE BUT MY CHARACTERS :)

Chapter 5

Feeling consciousness slowly slipping away from me, i suddenly feel the hands that were once holding so tightly onto me release me. I immediately swim as fast as I can to the surface and take a huge gasp of air that my lungs have longed to absorb for the last minute or so that I held my breath beneath the surface of the water. I NEED to get out of here! I quickly swim to shore as fast as I can and climb weakly out of the water as I feel gravity weigh me down. I run as fast as my legs can carry me to the large log cabin as I hear water moving in the lake behind me. Oh god he is following me! Just leave me alone!

I frantically arrive at the cabin and throw the slide door open and slam it shut once I get inside, immediately locking it behind me. I take a look towards the lake...he is gone...? What? Are you serious?

I slowly back away from the back door as I suddenly bump into someone, causing me to scream out of instinct and throw myself around to see who I bumped into...an extremely confused and slightly concerned Marissa. Oh god I'm so happy she is alright. I throw my arms around her as she stiffens and holds her arms away from me.

"Oh god, oh god thank god you are okay. D-Did you see what happened outside? I-I saw him...I saw Jason..."

Marissa suddenly shoves me away from her, a look of disgust all over her face, "Oh my god you smell like fish! Dead rotten fish! So disgusting! Don't even think about touching me again!" She says, throwing her hands as if adding exaggeration to her words...she didn't care at all about what I just said...

"...Did you even hear me...?" I ask quietly under my slightly labored breath.

"Nope. Start over." Marissa states...she is so lucky I am not in the position or situation where I would hurt her right now.

"I saw him!"

"Oh you saw one of the boys outside? Wow...I knew they would fuck up their sneaky plan to act stealthy and try to find that fucked-up hockey guy themselves..."

"No Marissa, I saw JASON!" I basically scream as adrenaline continues to course through my veins from what happened less than 5 minutes ago.

"You are tripping balls, Aliss. Did you get into the weed or something?"

"No! Why the hell would I bother with that crap!?" My eyes watch as her face comes to realization as her eyes widen.

"You didn't even think to grab the fucker when you seen him? Are you KIDDING ME? I can't believe you let him go!"

Oh my god...is this really what she is concerned about...she isn't even concerned about me in the slightest.

"Well I couldn't exactly grab him when he is fucking pulling me under the god damn lake! I almost died!"

"Then why didn't you?" She asks me.

"...He let me go..." I am still so confused as of why he let me go...was he prolonging my suffering? Toying with me? Waiting for the right moment to strike?

"He let you go? Where did you see him swim off to!?" She basically bumps into my cold, dripping figure as she scans the grounds outside the house in search.

"Didn't you say the boys are outside...searching for that guy...?" I ask, looking up at Marissa, she looks into my eyes with shock and realization.

"Oh my god...you are right! Go out there and find them! I will make sure he doesn't get inside the house while you are gone!"

"Are you kidding me!? I'm sitting here dripping wet after what I just experienced, and you want me to go back out there, ALONE? I'm sorry Marissa, but you didn't see this fucking guy. He is HUGE. I'm more than positive if I try to even attempt to attack him, I will seem like a toddler trying to wrestle its father. I even tried kicking this guy in the face while he was dragging me under water! It did NOTHING to him!"

"Then you should have kicked harder! Damn it really seems like you want to die. Now stop whining and GO!" Marissa demands as she shoves me back out into the crisp cold air and locks me out of the cabin.

I stare at the closed sliding glass door as Marissa walks away from it, tears burning in my eyes as they threaten to rise into my sight..

'...how could she do this to me...' I ask myself, feeling tears begin to blur my vision and I am forced to wipe my eyes clean with my cold, damp sleeve. I look into the distance towards the direction of the remaining sun's rays, the sun falling behind the thousands of trees that seem to be stretching out towards it.

'What do I do now...I have no idea where those fucking guys are...they could be dead for all I know...' that thought giving me chills, I'm not sure if it was the thought or just the cold...but I'm terrified out here. Alright...lets just do this and hopefully she will let me back in if I find them...

I slowly make my way into the dark woods surrounding the cabin, in the direction that I know fore sure that the campsite itself is located...where he is located as well...lets just hope I find those damn guys and have us all return to the cabin in one piece...

...god help me...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh man. Marissa, Aliss's one and only friend, kicked her out and basically gave her a death sentence. This just comes to show that people who are scared act in a similar manner they would act if they were drunk, both bring the real person to the surface. Anyway i'm so happy i was able to post two chapters in one day! I am using this new kind of Microsoft-word-knock-off called Kingsoft Writer. I'm not quite happy since it doesn't automatically auto correct a lowercase i into an upper case I like Microsoft Word does. It's not that I'm too lazy to go back and fix it its just a lot more helpful and makes chapters a lot faster to write. Anywho. If you like how this story is going so far, REVIEW! Let me know! :D
