Hunted

I need to share this story even if no one will believe me but before that I should introduce myself. My name is Emily Shepard and this is a tale about three hunters that went into the woods one faithful day thinking it was an ordinary hunting trip not knowing that it would change their lives… Forever.

It happened three months ago, A father and his two children went into the woods to hunt the wildlife that lived there. They had been there a hundred times but this felt different than the other times they went up. It almost felt like something was watching them but they didn’t know what.

“Dad.. maybe we should head back. I mean it feels kind of odd” His daughter said to him.

“Yeah I agree with her this feels way to different and there are plenty of other places to go hunting in town” Her brother said

The father looked at them and smiled. “It’s probably a bear and cougar that has spotted us. There’s no need to be worried. We’ll leave as soon as we get a deer alright” He was trying to reassure them so they wouldn’t take off.

The two of them looked at one another debating what they should do. They knew they always went hunting here every chance they got with their father.

“Ok fine but we’re leaving as soon as we get a deer” The daughter said to him with a stern voice trying to get her point across.

The father smiled and nodded to her and they went back on their way. After a few hours of waiting they finally were able to get a deer as it was starting to get dark out.

“We better get back before mom worries to much about us” The son said as he looked at the sky.

“Yeah she definitely knows how to worry. I want you guys to stay close alright as we head back. Do not get side tracked” The father said as he walked down the hill with their recent kill.

“Fine dad” Both his kids said to him as they followed him. As they kept walking they got the feeling of being watched and it made them more wary and felt uncomfortable not knowing what it was.

As they walked more they heard the sound of someone laughing making the hair stand on end. The three of them looked around not knowing what it was as the father loaded his gun ready to use it.

“Kids I want you to r-” The father was cut off by something hitting his shoulder. He stepped back a bit in pain and when he looked it was an arrow and as he was getting over the shock another one struck him in the chest making him fall to the ground.

The kids stared as they looked at their father who laid motionless on the ground then they heard the laugh again and took off running. They kept running looking around them trying to catch a glimpse of what was following them. As the girl ran she heard a thud behind her and turned to see her brother had an arrow struck him in the head and he fell to the ground.

Before she could run again she felt a sharp pain in her shoulder and stomach. She fell to the ground praying that somehow she would live through this. As her vision faded she caught a glimpse of two eyes, one was dark blue and the other was dark yellow.

So how do I know about this story is actually quite simple because the daughter was me and the victims were my brother Craig and father. I woke up in the hospital a few days later and learned the person who saved my life was someone named Kirk Myers. I learned from him that many people have gone missing in the forest and another person who survived mentioned that they also saw the same eyes as me. They mentioned hearing something and it almost sounded like Aurora or something along those lines. I vowed the day they died that I will get revenge even if it ends in my death.

All that matters is that her blood is spilled
