On this particular rainy day Kathy, Frank, John and Micheal went on a camping trip. This was Kathy first time ever going. She had never seen or heard of so many different insects , snakes , raccoons, and strange sounds before in her life. Clinging to John's hand she was definitely afraid. John said " you're squeezing my hand a little too tight , it's becoming numb " .Kathy laughed and said" I'm so sorry "and released her grip.
Micheal who was the tour guide was 500 feet ahead of us looking for a good place to camp out. The fog made it impossible to see ahead of us ,as we stumbled through the woods. Frank called out to Micheal and John but no response . He had ventured off from the group and was lost. " I can't see a thing ahead of me he stated, where is everyone he thought as he still search for someone in the group?''
Thunder roared over the mountains as John and I climbed to higher ground. Still standing by John side I became nervous. I watched him take his walkie -talkie out and called Micheal and Frank, no reply. He then said " It will be dark soon ,we will camp here . Let's set-up the tents now."
With my shaking hands I pulled my back pack off and begin to do what John instructed, suddenly I caught a glimpse of an object appeared to be approaching us slowly. It was Frank, he was hurt. He said we should pack up our things right now and should leave the place at once. John quickly grabbed him to keep him from falling to the ground.
In a panic state ''I said let's go please''. I was already frightened and to see Frank like this , what could have happen? Frank uttered two words ''they live''. ''Where is Micheal?'' Frank asked John? No one has seen or heard from him. As they were trying to find their way back to the car darkness fell upon them, they only had small flashlights as they continued to wander through the rainy forest.Cold and wet Kathy suddenly stood still , She insisted she couldn't move another step , crying out for help the sound echoed through the woods, ''Where is Micheal?'', she asked John . When a strange presence she felt drew near . That was when Micheal bloody body was tossed in front of them.
Run , Frank said , but Kathy went to help Micheal who was already dead, rain still pouring and the wind was high. She could barely see anything in the dark, but a ghost -like figure standing near a tree with smoke looming around him.Wiping her eyes to see more clearly as she hovered over Micheal , The shadowy figure disappeared.
Micheal had cut marks in his face and chest and his head was bashed in by some type of heavy object and clothing torn from his lifeless body. She motioned to run when something grabbed her by her hair and dragged her through the woods. Kicking and screaming she couldn't see what had taken her.
Hearing her screams, John and Frank followed the sounds through the forest and came across the most horrific scene , There were people found dead hanging upside down from trees in the forest, some of them were still alive and were being eaten by what appeared to be some type of Alien with razor sharp teeth, and thin pale body with armour attached to it.
It had just threw Kathy up against a rock and knocked her unconscious as it laid to prey on her for his last super. John and Frank circled the scene trying to rescue Kathy. Frank was spotted by the creature, running through the woods as the creature followed him . John made his move to save Kathy, picking her up and carrying her to safer grounds as the rain still poured. He found a cave and went inside for shelter.
Holding her in his arms all night he wanted to protect her at all cost. They stayed there until the next morning and she began to awake and mutter his name ,Looking down in her angelic face he knew he loved her and had to get her to safety quickly.
As they left the cave and stumbled through the woods . They came across Frank body. He had been torn into shreds. Covering her mouth with his hands John didn't want her to make any loud sounds to bring attention to them as they were trying to get out.
Finally they came across an old path that led to the road .They were almost home ,free ,when the alien crawled down a tree in front of there path. The alien had been following them from the top of the trees since they left. John pushed Kathy back behind him.
Standing eight feet tall, mangled body with gator -like skin and piercing teeth. John knew he was going to fight to death with this creature from Hell. Then Kathy took from her backpack a small bottle of kerosene and emptied it on the creature. John took the lighter from his pocket, lit it and threw it toward the beast and set it on fire.The horrible screeching noise the creature made. A sound no man has ever heard before, as it squirmish to put the fire out. Finding the strength to run directly to the road ahead of them . A car was coming and they flagged it down. Jumping inside they told the driver to drive fast that someone was trying to kill them.They were taken to the nearest police station to inform them of what had happened to their friends. As search parties was organized to look for Frank, and Micheal no one was ever found and no signs of a creature living in the woods .
Holding each other close they thought about their friend and longed to be home. If it wasn't for that scary book Kathy read the night before the trip. I guess they all would have planned to go...
