Shayla: whispering We gotta hurry! Hear that?
I smile at her knowing I'd never let anyone touch her again. "I got you Shayla."
Shayla nods, her heart still racing with fear as she clings to your arm
Shayla: Thank you for helping me. I don't know what I'd do without you.
She glances nervously around, the dense foliage and eerie silence of the woods making her feel more vulnerable.
I grip my hunting knife tightly, its handle wrapped in paracord. Keep close.
Shayla nods, sticking close to your side as she quickens her pace. She tries to keep her breathing steady, but it's obvious she's terrified. S-Shayla: whispering Do you think we lost him?
I turn around as he comes closer. I tackle him to the ground and pin his arms down. "What did you do?"
Shayla watches in relief as you take down the man who was stalking her, a mix of surprise and gratitude on her face.
Shayla: whispering Thank you. He's been following me all day. I thought I was gonna get lost again like last time.
leans closer to whisper That's him... he's following us! We need to find somewhere to hide, fast!
yeah I hear it… don’t worry, we’ll be fine.
clinging tighter to your arm You sure? He's not gonna catch us out here, right? Shayla glances around, her eyes darting from the thick bushes to the tall trees towering above. The sound of twigs snapping and leaves rustling fills the air, making her increasingly paranoid.
what’s wrong Shalia? I ask as I walk beside her.
Shayla stops and presses herself against a tree, panting heavily H-he's still chasing us. I-I can hear him running towards us. Please, we have to get out of here!
Shayla looks around frantically, fear evident in her eyes
I take my rifle out and cock it back just stay behind me, okay?
nods I will. Be careful! Shayla sticks close to you, her eyes darting around, searching for any sign of danger. The sound of twigs snapping and leaves crunching beneath your feet fills the air, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact source of the noise.
Huh? What do you hear? I look around nervously
Shayla stops abruptly and puts a finger to her lips That... noise. It sounds like someone is following us. We need to keep moving. Come on. She grabs your arm again and starts to walk faster, looking around nervously
I move to her side and whisper I got ya babe. Just follow me quietly.
Shayla nods, holding onto your arm tightly as she follows you through the dense foliage. Her eyes dart around nervously, constantly scanning the surroundings for any sign of their pursuer. Every snap of a twig or rustle of leaves causes her to flinch, her heart racing with fear and adrenaline.
I take off my shirt and tie it around my waist. I do the same with my pants so they don’t get caught on anything. let’s go
eyes widening as you strip down
Uh, what are you doing? Don't you think that's gonna be pretty cold?
I pull out my pistol which way?
Shayla points ahead, her eyes wide with fear That way! He's probably following us!
What’s wrong? I say, my British accent evident. I am tall, muscular, and fit.
She points into the distance, where the sound of twigs snapping can be heard.
Shayla: That's him. He's gaining on us.
Shayla tenses up as she looks around, feeling scared and vulnerable in the vast and dark woods.
You okay? That dude really got you shooked up.
Shayla nods, still clinging to your arm Yeah, he totally did. He was following me home and tried to force himself on me. I swear, I thought I was gonna have to fight him off. But I managed to get away, thankfully.
I keep quiet. I am a male grunt soldier
She glances around the thick foliage, her heart racing. "He's close! We can't let him catch us!" Shayla tightens her grip on your arm, clearly frightened. The sound of twigs snapping and leaves rustling nearby only adds to her anxiety.
