Man's best friend (until the end)
Mike returned back to the lodge after escaping from the mines. After finally getting there he saw Sam, Emily and Chris standing outside the lodge. Sam turned to look behind her after hearing approaching footsteps.
- Mike! Oh thank God..
she started speaking, but soon noticed that someone was missing.
- Mike.. where's Josh?
Sam then wanted to know. Mike stopped to take a breather, before finally replying:
- That.. that thing got out of the water and just.. it just took him away.. I couldn't.. I couldn't do anything, I was too scared. I just.. looked while it took him away..
It could be heard from Mike's voice how sorry and guilty he felt. Sam quickly glanced at Chris and Emily who both stood a little distance away from her. After doing so she walked towards Mike and put her arms around him and simply gave him a hug. She didn't say anything, but she didn't really even need to. Mike knew all too well how close Sam and Josh had been from almost that day when they had met. Chris, who stood
I'm just pretending that I'm okay
Not even a week had passed of that tragic night, when Hannah and Beth Washington had gone lost into the woods, only to be never seen again. Now, only a couple days later the Washington lodge was silent. Although the friends were all present, the ordinary noises of living were all gone. Everyone had fallen deep into their thoughts. They all were in the large living room-like space.. except for one individual. Josh, the brother of Hannah and Beth, hadn't been the same after his sisters had disappeared, he'd just been sitting on Hannah's bed being completely numb. Everything in that room reminded him of his dear sisters, and of the fact that nothing was the same anymore. But besides all that he hadn't left the room.
The atmosphere wasn't any better among the others, for they didn't say a thing. Finally Sam had enough of the deadly, depressing silence, and stood up, saying in a slightly forced tone:
- I.. I'll go and see how Josh is doing..
Ashley nodded in a stiff way, and Mike just said:
Never lose sight of what's important
Mike quickly ran out of the guest cabin wearing only his shoes, jeans and a white tank top. He carried both a lantern and a shotgun, and as he got out, he saw clearly visible marks of something.. or someone being dragged away.
- Jessica! Hey, Jessica!!
Mike shouted into the dark woods, but didn't get the answer he had hoped for. So he ran deeper into the forest without hesitation, all the while calling for Jessica's name.
After running for a little while Mike heard noises coming from somewhere behind him, noises that were like footsteps. Mike then changed his mad run first to a jog, and then finally to a normal walk.
- Jessica..?
Mike asked carefully, and soon a familiar character came out from the middle of the trees and bushes. But Mike was left disappointed, for that wasn't Jessica, but Sam.
- Mike.. what are you doing here?
Sam wondered for a good reason.
- And where is Jess?
Mike didn't waste any time, but started to tell Sam everything that had happened:
- That.. that thing, what
