Chapter Three

I wander around the cabin. The old wood siding peels slightly on the east side, probably from where the morning sun hits it. Mold stains the north side of the cabin which gives it a green tint. Nothing else special stands out. No shrubs or flowers line any of the walls.

After I make my way around the cabin, I head to one of the trails in the back. I grab a stick to swipe across the path as I go. Once when I was in elementary school, we took an overnight class trip. The girls went for a late hike. My friend and I weren't paying attention, and we nearly walked into a spider web that spanned the length of the path. When my friend put the light on it, I was nearly nose-to-nose with a spider the size of my hand. I backed up slowly before running back to my cabin.

I learned my lesson that day. I do not walk paths at night without a long stick to cut away anything that I can't see.

The hike is uneventful until I come up on another cabin. I hear their television on, so I make a wide loop around to avoid disturbing them. As I come up to the next cabin, I realize this isn't the best place to hike. I turn and head back to my cabin, but instead of stopping, I walk across the now quiet highway and head over to the lake. A gate blocks the main entrance, with a sign that states the park closes at dusk, but I walk around it.

My shoes kick up pebbles from the gravel drive. Cicadas chirp, and owls hoot, ignoring my invasion of their territory. The lane opens up to a wide expanse of water. The full moon reflects off the surface, casting rippled lines across the lake. Waves lap at the edge of the boat ramp, adding to the nightly orchestra playing around me.

Walking to the edge of the dock, I set the stick aside and sit to dangle my feet over the side. My feet don't reach the water so I swing them back and forth to the rhythm of the waves and rest my arms on one of the beams making up the guard rail. Switching off the flashlight, I tuck it into my pocket and lose track of time as I watch the peaceful ripples.

A loud blast, followed by a howl, shatters my tranquility. I jerk around but can't tell where the shots or the howl came from. Quickly, more howls add to the mix, and I feel cornered.

Another shot echoes through the area followed by a pained cry. Not long after, the crunch of shoes on gravel comes closer. Frantic, I search around and realize a boat is tied to the dock opposite me. I curl up in a ball in the corner of my dock and do my best to hide from the oncoming stampede.

After a few moments, hushed voices join the running sounds, and two men jog toward the boat.
