Chapter Five
Doug's Point of View
I decided to take a walk around the grounds for some reason. I didn't feel up to going back to that cabin. Even if she wasn't there now, she would be soon, but it was getting pretty late. Maybe I should go back now, It wasn't the best weather and it was getting kinda cold. Passing the lake, I could hear some thing, it sounded like...splashing water. What the hell!?
Slowly and carefully walking over, but keeping myself hidden, you know...just in case, I made my way over to the dock to check it all out.
'HELP!' I heard some one scream. It sounded like a girl, but...that's odd, all the girls are with the guys....except that Sarah chick, she was in the main cabin before, what the f**k is she doing down here?
Suddenly, completely forgetting about staying hidden and started running as fast as I could over there. As I got closer, I noticed some one on the docks looking down.
'Hey!?!' I shouted but they didn't seem to hear me. 'HEY!?' I shouted louder. They started backing up and ran off into the trees. I considered going after them, but as I was about it, I hear the splashing again and suddenly remembered the cry for help. Carefully walking over to the edge, I looked over.
'Oh my god!' With out thinking, I jumped off the edge of the docks and into the cold muddy water. She was drowning.
As I reached her, I checked to see if she was breathing. She was...just about.
'GUYS!!!' I screamed as loud as I possibly could. 'f**k, GUYS, HELP!!!!' This time, I tried as hard as I could, until my voice started to hurt, my attempt was paid off when I saw lights shine across the grounds and Matt's voice came from above us.
'Doug, are you out here?!' He yelled. I heard foot steps coming closer to the edge.
'Matt, down here, quick' The foot steps turned into running steps and Matt and Zander appeared. 'Here, help me' I lifted Sarah up, she was still unconscious. Matt and Zand bent down and grabbed one of her arms each, pulling her up and out of the lake.
It was STILL pissing down, hard as well. But right now, no one cared. I lifted myself out of the water and sat on my knee's next to her unmoving body.
'What's going on?' One of her friends asked, stepping forward. 'Oh my god, what happened?!?' She started yelling and getting upset. Zander stood up and went to her, trying to calm her down, while one of the others went and got towels for us.
'What happened?' Matt asked, keeping his fingers on her neck, checking to see if she was still breathing.
'I really don't know. I was walking around and heard noises, coming for over here, I got closer, some one ran away. I was about to go after them when I hear them again and it turns out it was her' I pointed down to her. Matt nodded.
'Who was it?' I shrugged.
'I don't know, I think it was one of you' I simply said. Matt looked confused.
'It wasn't me man or Peyton. It wasn't Joe or Jenna either, they were in the cabin with us.' For some reason, a chill went down my spine, and it had nothing to do with the cold. 'Zander, come here a second!' he yelled. I looked up, Zand grabbed the towels off Jenna and came over, passing one to me and then one to Matt to wrap around her.
'What?' he bent down so we didn't have to shout.
'Did you or...um.....Ummm,......' I couldn't finish my sentence because I really had no idea what the girl was called. 'Her-'
'Katie!' he yelled. she looked up quickly.
'Right, what ever, did one of you leave the cabin at some point over the last half hour?' I asked. He looked confused.
'No man, we were together the whole time' Me and Matt looked at each other. Just then Joe came over, wanting to know what was going on.
'Hey, whats the problem' he asked.
'Guys, I think we have a BIG problem' They all looked at me. 'If it wasn't us, or them. I really don't think it was her parents either, they wouldn't have just left her in there' I was starting to panic a little. But I didn't let it show.
'So...what do you mean?' Zander asked, slightly confused, but I think they all knew what I was getting at, they just don't want to sat it.
'Guys, I don't think we're alone out here' We all looked at each other, a little worried. But then Matt said some thing to make every thing worse.
's**t, guys, that's not our the only problem' we all looked at him this time. He looked up.
'What's wrong?' he started messing with Sarah's neck and lifting her wrists.
'She's stopped breathing!'
