Chapter 1 Richwood Forest
It was Friday night and we were loading all of our things into my car. My car isn't the best it is an old blue dodge with a rusty bottom. We were on our way to the woods to go camping. There are eight of us Sarah, Mason, Abby, Xander, Chris, Megan, Veronica, and myself. I planned the trip to ask Abby to go to homecoming with me. All my friends were part of the plan. I decided I would ask her by singing her a song I wrote. I started putting everyone's bags into my car. I also packed the axe, tent, and flare gun. My mom insists I take the flare gun just in case we get lost. I finish packing my car and shout, "Wheels out in ten ." Abby and I are in the car first and we start chatting about our movie theories. Abby is about 5'4 blond hair with the prettiest green eyes I've ever seen. We chat for about eight minutes before the group slowly fills in Megan was the next one in. By the time everyone was ready to go it was 6 o'clock in the afternoon.We were running a little behind. I wanted to get there by 6:30 but we won't get there until seven. We arrived shortly after seven and started to unpack. Me and Abby started to set up the four tents. While everyone else worked on getting a fire set up. Everyone has split up in three of the four tents. I brought an extra tent so I could be by myself. Even though it is very late by 8 we had the fire up and started roasting brats. Once everyone's done eating I pull out my guitar. Abby's eyes lit up because she loves to hear me sing. I started out with one of her favorite songs I wrote called Lost and Found. It was a love song I wrote. After I finished up with that song she was gleaming with happiness. So I decided to sing the song. I said ok guys this is a new song I wrote called Come With Me Abby. She looked very confused but I just decided to sing the song. In the song I asked her to homecoming. She ran away crying. I looked at Megan and she looked confused and shrugged her shoulders. I put down my guitar and ran after her. I caught up with her. She was sitting at the edge of a river crying. I asked, "Hey Abbs what's wrong." She said,"No one's ever been that nice to me.' I looked into her soft brown eyes and said, "Well Abbs no one could ever love you like I do." She smiles and her eyes glisten in the moonlight. We both lean in and kiss each other passionately. She pulls away first and I ask,"What is wrong Abbs."She said," Nothing I've Just knew you liked me.""I've been waiting for you to tell me because I feel the same way." I looked at her frowning and said,"Sorry it took me so long Let me make it up to you." I caress her cheek with my palm and lean in and kiss her. She kisses back hard. I pull away first this time and say," Abby will you go out with me?" She blushes hard and said," Of course I will go out with you Ethan." I say,"Okay let's go back to the others so they don't think we're dead. While we walk back to the group we are holding hands and chatting. We walked out of the woods and the group was smiling at us. It was super late so we all decided to got to bed. I went to bed in my tent alone. I decided to turn my flashlight on and read my book. After a while I heard a rap on the tent door. I said," Come on in." Abby walks in wearing a red shirt and black pajama shorts. "Is it okay if I sleep in here tonight it's pretty scary out here.", asked Abby. "Of course Abby I would love that. She comes and lays next to me on my cot. I put my arm around her and she asked," Can you sing to me before bed?" Sure What song do you want to hear?" I ask. She says," come with me Abby it is my new favorite song."I sang to her until she kissed me goodnight. We both say goodnight and cuddle until we fall asleep.
Chapter 2 The Noises
Sometime after ten Abby shakes me awake and says "Can you walk with me I need to pee and i'm scared of being alone. I say,"Of course Abbs that is my job as your boyfriend." "You know I have always liked how you called Me Abbs.',She says I say," I know you did that's why I called you that when I realized I liked you." She says,"Stay here I have to pee." She walks behind the tree and that's when I first heard the noise. It was a low growl that sounded like a wolf but not. Abby screams and I run over to her. When I get to her She has a look of shock and terror on her face. There is a deer corpse that was shredded to pieces. I Say, " Abby it's okay let's go back to the tent." She doesn't say anything. She seems frozen in fear so i pick her up and carry her back to the tent. I sit down and lay her head on my lap. While stroking my fingers through her hair I say," It's okay baby just go to sleep I'll protect her. I lean down and kiss her lips and wait for her to fall asleep. I just sit there the entire night with her on my lap. I did just what I said I made sure nothing would happen to her. When she wakes up she looks up at me " You didn't have to stay up all night and watch me.", She says with a smile full of love. She leans up to me and we kiss passionately. We kiss for a few minutes and then we lay down and cuddle for a while. By the time we went outside it was eight. Abby and I went on a walk through the forest. We held hands and talked about how much we loved each other. When I looked over I saw a Figure in black. He had bones for a hand and was pointing at me. I blink and he is gone. But where he was standing all the plants were dead. I ignore it and look back at Abby and say,"Abby I love you so much." She looks at me and leans in for a kiss. She pulls away after a few seconds and says," I never thought I'd hear that. I love you too!" I looked at her shocked. What I said next shocked both of us. "I have always believed in soulmates and the moment I meant you I knew you were mine. I am so glad to call you my girlfriend because, you are the most beautiful, smartest and, kindest girl I have ever met. And I want you to be my forever.I will always love you.", I said. She looked at me with tears in her eyes. I took her into an embrace and I whispered,"I love you baby." I then pulled out of the hug and kissed her. I wiped the tears off her face and she smiled while saying, " I love you too." After that we got back to the campsite to see only Megan and Sarah are up. So we woke everyone up so we could go swimming at the waterfall. Abby and I got changed in my tent. I stood in front of the tent while she got dressed.
