They were getting closer… much too fast.

Audrey was in the woods somewhere, or already caught.

That girl.. was in the river.

I.. I was chasing after somebody I didn’t know at all. And the reason wasn’t entirely because of the voices, or because she “knew too much”... I sort of felt like I had to protect her.

I’m not the kind of person to feel guilty about things, but thinking back to her face on the bus, seeing her expression when the bus was about to flip over.

Seeing her expression when she.. stabbed him.

It was enough to make me want to save her from becoming one of us. I knew when she did turn into one of us, she would be one of the more dangerous ones.

And I couldn’t let more innocent people die.

She couldn’t have this happen to her. She couldn’t be one of us.

I heard something moving through the forest, and ran towards where she was dragging herself, blood pouring everywhere.

Shit.

This was going to be harder than I thought it would be to cover up…
