Chapter 3

Carlos's POV: We finally got to the cabin at 5:00 in the evening I was so relieved that I didn't have to be in a car anymore. Ever since we left the diner my mind kept racing back to my encounter with the mysterious stranger that had given me the key and directions something was off about him I just felt uneasy around him. I got mine and Alexa's bags out of the trunk and started to head down the walk way towards the cabin. From the outside it looked like a house from the 70's it was old and it looked like it hadn't been used in years. The boards creaked as I walked up the steps leading to the porch I got to the door set down the bags I reached into my pocket and pulled out the key to the cabin I put the key in the key hole unlocked the door turned the nob and the door opened. After the door opened I stepped inside it was so dark I couldn't see anything I fumbled around until I found the light switch I flicked the switch and the lights came on. While Alexa unpacked our stuff and put it away I stepped out of the cabin to check out the island. The island was secluded and quiet it was peaceful which is what I needed it had been so long since our last vacation that I had forgot what a vacation was.

Alexa's POV: As I stood in the bedroom unpacking our clothes I thought finally we made it. I had been planning this vacation for a while that I was starting to think that it wasn't going to happen. The last few years has been rough going with Carlos finding out that his cousin Alan had gone missing along with his wife and that Carlos hasn't been able to write anything in two years the drinking hasn't helped matters either. Now that we are at Bright Falls maybe Carlos will be able to write once again. I don't give James much credit but I have to give it to him this time this vacation was all his idea.
