I woke up at about five am after hearing a car honk from outside my house. I dragged my tired self out of bed and combed my fingers through my hair. I grabbed my bag and headed out the door. I sat in the back with Blake. Riley, Blake's cousin, was driving and her boyfriend, Greg was sitting shotgun sleeping.

"Hey Raven, name's Riley," she said. Riley had bright red hair, a lot of black eyeliner, and a small nose ring. She seemed alright.

"Hey," I said groggily, still not fully awake. I put my head back and tried to get some rest
"Ready for a whole week of fun?" she said sarcastically.

I laughed a bit still trying to sleep.

"Seriously though," Blake started saying, "are you excited?"

I just glared at him and went back to sleep. He didn't talk to me for the rest of the trip.

We got to the campsite at about seven. There were a few cots on the campground, it was good we didn't have to sleep on the ground. I got my own little bed, Blake wanted to share a cot with me, but I told him to piss off.

I slept for a couple more hours in order to have a little more energy. I woke back up at like ten, and headed over to the kitchen area. I made myself some breakfast and decided to get dress and take a walk. I felt like throwing up, I don't even know anymore, nothing ever sits well in my stomach...

I went on a walk off the path and went through the actual woods. I had the sense of déjà vu. Like I've been here before, but where? When?

Then it struck me. My dreams, I've seen this place in my dreams. I soon felt myself being followed. It felt like someone was watching me. I tried ignoring the feeling, but it wouldn't go away. I turned around frequently, but nothing was behind me. Was I just being paranoid, or was there something I needed to be cautious of?

I headed back to the campsite and headed into my cot. I put in my earbuds and left myself alone with my thoughts, a dangerous past time might I add. I've been here before, but I don't know when. I closed my eyes, I tried to think when I've been here.

I soon started to dream of the forest. I soon saw the shadowy figure. I couldn't move, and I couldn't speak. The figure stood tall above me, I couldn't make out who, or what, it was. Before it could get any closer I felt myself being carried away. Someone was taking me away from the figure.

I soon woke up after that. Hours had passed and it was already night time when I awoke.

Riley, Greg, and Blake were sitting by the campfire. Greg was drinking a beer and Riley was smoking a cigarette. I could go for a smoke right now, I thought to myself. I headed over to campfire and sat down on one of the chairs with them.

"Morning sleeping beauty," Riley said.

I just groaned.

"Mind if I have a cigarette?" I asked her.

"Knock yourself out," she said handing me the box and lighter.

"Rav, you're too young to be smoking!" Blake exclaimed.

"There's no age limit to smoke dipshit," I said, lighting the cigarette.

"Still-"

"I've smoked since I was thirteen, why are you getting so fussy now?"

"Because, you could die at a young age!"

"So? Maybe I want to."

"Raven! Don't talk like that!"

"Why can't I?"

"Because I-"

"Since when did you become my mother?!"

I got angry, he was pissing me off majorly now. Why did HE have the right to tell me what to do? I'm my own person. I'll do what I please. He always drive me off the edge, at this point I wanted to put a knife in his throat.

He went silent. Everyone did. I put out the cigarette and went for another walk. It sucks to be me. I don't fit in anywhere. I don't even feel like I was human.

I went off the path and walked with my hood up, I didn't even care if someone tried to kill me now. I didn't care if I was followed. I hated everyone.

Fuck it all.

I didn't give a shit anymore, I just wanted to be left alone.

I looked at the time, eleven forty five. My birthday was in a few minutes. I had almost forgotten about it, my head was filled with too many other thoughts. I felt everything spin around me, I wanted to run. I felt like I needed to run from something, from everything. I felt...scared? Of what? Something was making my heart race. Something was behind me. My hand ran over my pocket knife drawing the blade. I knew it wouldn't be much, but I may be able to defend myself. I took the blade out of my pocket and turned quickly, trying to cut whatever was behind me.

I did cut something, but that something wasn't human.

I cut it in the leg. I looked up and saw what I had just attacked.

A man, he resembled a man at least. He wore a suit...and a tie. He wasn't human though, his limbs were too long...and he had no face.

I didn't scream, I couldn't scream. I was paralyzed, not knowing what to do. I fell to the ground and backed up against a tree. What have I done?

I am so sorry it took me so long to update. I have no valid excuses except brain farts and malfunctions xP I'll do better next time.
