"...I still do not trust you." I didn't know if this guy was part of it all. I mean... enough blood and dead bodies to fill an entire lake... there's probably at least a small demented town full of people in on it. One of my rules that I cannot break is that I can't trust anybody here. I need to hurry up and find some way of escaping and alerting the authorities as to what was going on here.

Suddenly a black cat wandered up to me, I gave it a critical look. "Run kitty cat, there's nothing but death here." As much as I loved cats, I couldn't get distracted by one. I got to my feet unsteadily and began backing away from the boy and the tree, afraid of taking my eyes off of him for even a second, in the event he tried to pull something.
