Lindsay clutched her purse with one hand and felt for the gun, trying to open it as Cameron dragged her through the woods. She unzipped her bag with one hand and grabbed the cold steel in her palm. She felt her heart pounding so loud in her head she couldn’t hear anything else.
Cameron was too busy finding a place to kill her to realize she had the gun. She gripped it tightly. When they arrived in a clearing near a slow-running stream he tossed her on the ground and stood over her. He changed before her eyes. His blue eyes faded to black.
Lindsay stared up at him and her mouth opened but no sound came out, seeing it wasn’t Cameron anymore she was looking at. His eyes were completely black, empty sockets that stared back at her with no mercy within them. Faint snarls escaped his lips, his face contorted into a savage, terrifying mask of death.
Lindsay forgot about the gun, forgot about everything in that moment. Whatever this thing was; it was no longer Cameron. She screamed then, sliding away from the creature on the ground.
