I gasped and opened my eyes...there was Lucas in front of me...I held his arms with my hands tightly..." There is a girl in the forest....she's dying...we have to help her" I was panicked at the scene I saw, but i could not just utter about those eyes, and claws when Ryker was still standing in front of me.
"Where exactly?"Lucas asked calmly
"Deep in the forest...we must get there right now"I got up hurriedly. And started walking...but someone among us was totally shocked by the things that were taking place.
Ryker was all confused about the situation..."Can anyone fill me in what is going on...what is stella saying about a girl dying in the forest." His questions were valid and understandable but it was not the right time to make him understand everything.
Jenn looked up to them "Now is not the time If stella is saying she could see and hear someone who is in danger then we should get going" She knew very well if someone calls my name loudly with emotions I could hear it clearly, and that girl was calling out for me to help,with pain and fear and anxiety.
Without any further conversation we ran inside the forest and searched until we found that girl, or her body. She was lying there soulless and had claw marks all over her body and blood all over her clothes,We walked closer but at the sight of the blood and torn flesh Jenn turned and was about to faint but supported herself with the tree nearby.
We three bend closer to the body and examined it...and I lead my eyes on the same symbol under the claw marks on the chest. I clenched my fist in fury. How much of monster is he to shred the skin of a merry innocent girl. What good did it do to him to kill innocent people.
Jenn after holding herself together... came back to us and saw the face of the girl and was surprised "Hey stella... we don't know her..." after hearing Jenn speaking I was too surprised and stared at the girl.. "Indeed I don't know her... why was she calling out for me?..." before I was too rushed to think about it. Was it on purpose?.. a warning maybe...
Ryker stared at us with a tons of questions in his head. "The symbol you were drawing it on your notebook was it also related to this" I sighed "No I just saw it on the wendy's body...I was just drawing to see if it had any meaning. "
With this answer atleast ryker got to know as in why I didnt tell him more about this symbol.
But for my surprise he was rather calm even more calm than Lucas like he has seen this millions of times.
Lucas touched the skin where the symbol was carved and then suddenly leaned closer to her chest..."Her heart is still beating.." He turned "She's still alive....we have to get her out of here."
---------------
We headed inside the towns hospital, Lucas was carrying her as we went inside with her,my mom saw us rushing in and ran to us...
"Oh god she is hurt so badly..." an nurse came with the stretcher and lucas placed her on it carefully...they rushed her to the ICU as she was lossing blood continuously
As we were about to go my mom stopped us.."Sorry dear but this seems like an attack we have to inform the cops...as you all are witness you have to stay here till they get here" She looked at us with worried eyes, we all nodded silently and sat on the chair at the hospital...
-------------
The sherriff came and took a good look at us,some of us had blood on their clothes some had on their hand, we wore a straight face like it didn't shocked us at all. But deep inside we were we didn't expected her to be alive and were relieved when her heart was still beating, we just hoped she lives after this treatment...and never ever get closer to the nightmare she experienced today.
"You all found her?" Sherriff asked with stern face. We all glanced each other once and together answered "YES". This was my first time getting interrogated and I believe it was Jenns first time too. I don't know about the rest.
The sherriff sighed..."And what exactly were you doing out there at the forest so late?"
"Training" Lucas replied with straight face.
"Training? With a cross bow? And in a forest at evening were you even able to see?" He firmly raised his finger and pointed towards the crossbows Jenn and Ryker were holding.
" We were practicing in the forest, so no one gets hurt while we practice." Jenn rested her chin on her knuckles. Sherriff looked at us and blinking his eyes 2 times asked "So how did you find the body"
"While playing"
"While practicing"
Lucas and Ryker both answered at the same time, hearing those I and Jenn turned towards them, The sherriff too eyed them with his narrowed eyes ,they without showing any expression continued "Crossbow" both said and the sherriff eyed them again giving the expression ' Oh really is that so'
Jenn then Inturupted "Playing and practicing Crossbow is one thing they just used different words while describing it." I led out a breath of relief when she handle it. We really can't trust these two guys at all they even managed to mess up this simple thing.
