THE HAUNTED TRAIL
At this rate we are never going to get there Karen said after letting out a sigh to emphasize her impatience. Oh relax! we'll be there in no time besides I had to convince you to come with me in the first place.
Ok..but can you at least make the dog go to the back seat, I swear if it drools anywhere near me I'm getting out of the car and you can both go see your grandparents. Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the back of the car, Louis parked the car and decided to go check for any problem with the tires while Karen waited inside.
Ahh, I knew I should have come with a spare, Louis murmured,trying not to agitate Karen. Is everything okay back there? She asked but there was no reply. Louis thought he heard someone call his name, he didn't know why but he couldn't stop walking towards the sound of the voice. Karen got out of the car only to see Louis walking into the woods. She yelled his name but he kept on walking without saying a word. She ran after him but the faster she ran, the more distance there was between them until finally, she tripped over a log. When she woke up, Louis had disappeared. How long have I been out, she wondered. Now she was alone and her first instinct was to run until she found someone or perhaps she might end up on the road. To her surprise, she found Louis's body lying on the ground, she knelt to see if he was alive but then she heard something growling behind her, but before she could turn to see what it was, it was already too late for her.
