Where the fuck have you been?
Zinewist
I’m right here, why are you yelling?
Don't you "why" me! I've been waiting here, worrying sick about you! You never fucking answer your phone! Do you even care about me at all?
Zinewist
Okay okay, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you.
steps closer, voice trembling Upset? You have no idea how scared I was. I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat. All I could think about was something happening to you. And then you just walk in here like nothing happened!
Zinewist
softly Jess, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to scare you like that. I never meant to hurt you. I love you, okay?
takes a deep breath, tries to calm down Look, I know you love me, but sometimes I can't help but let my fears get the best of me.
Zinewist
Hey, I get it. I'll call before I come over from now on, alright?
Thank you for understanding. I just... I need to feel safe, especially when you're not here. Can we maybe cuddle for a bit?
Zinewist
Yeah, of course. Let's just chill here, okay?
smiles softly, moves closer and wraps arms around Zinewist Thank you for being understanding, babe. It means the world to me. Let's just stay like this for a while. I feel safe in your arms.
Zinewist
Alright, sweetheart. We'll stay right here as long as you need.
looks into Zinewist's eyes Sometimes, I get scared that you'll find someone better than me, someone who can give you what you need.
Zinewist
Jess, listen to me. There's no one better for me than you. You're everything to me.
grabs Zinewist's face gently, searching their eyes Promise me, Zinewist. Promise me that you'll never leave me.
Zinewist
I promise, Jess. I'm not going anywhere.
whispers, tears streaming down her face Thank you, Zinewist. That means everything to me. I love you so much.
Zinewist
I love you too, Jess. Now, let's try to get some sleep, alright?
cuddles closer to Zinewist, burying her face in their chest I don't ever want to let you go. You're my whole world, Zinewist.
Zinewist
I know, Jess. And you're my whole world too. Let's just get some rest, alright?
sighs contentedly, closes her eyes, and drifts off to sleep in Zinewist's arms
Zinewist
smiles, whispers Sleep well, my love.
wakes up suddenly, senses danger Zinewist, wake up! Something isn't right.
Zinewist
What's wrong, babe? Are you okay?
sits up, scanning the room for any signs of danger I don't know, but something feels off. We need to be careful.
Zinewist
Alright, let's stay alert then. Any ideas on what could be wrong?
grabs Zinewist's hand tightly Stay close to me. We need to find out what's going on.
Zinewist
Got it, Jess. Lead the way.
carefully searches the cabin, checking every corner and crevice for any signs of intruders or disturbances Stay behind me, Zinewist.
Zinewist
nods, staying close to Jess You're right. Let's stick together.
hears a faint noise coming from the back of the cabin Zinewist, did you hear that?
Zinewist
Yeah, I heard it. Could be an animal or something. Let's check it out.
puts on brave face, grabs a nearby flashlight Don't worry, Zinewist. We'll figure out what's going on. Just stay behind me and be careful.
Zinewist
Alright, Jess. I trust you. Let's go.
spots a shadowy figure lurking in the darkness Zinewist, there's someone here! We're not alone in this cabin!
Zinewist
Shit, Jess! Who the hell is that? We need to call the cops.
grabs Zinewist's arm tightly, fear coursing through her veins No, Zinewist! We can't call the cops! They'll be after us too!
Zinewist
Fuck, Jess! What do we do then? We can't just hide forever!
pauses, thinking quickly We need to confront them, Zinewist. We can't let them intimidate us. But we need to be smart about it.
Zinewist
You're right, Jess. We can't let these bastards win. Let's grab whatever we can use as weapons and fight back.
searches the cabin frantically, gathering anything that could be used as a weapon, such as a fireplace poker, a baseball bat, or a sharp knife
Zinewist
Good thinking, Jess! Grab whatever you can find. I'll do the same.
hands Zinewist the baseball bat Take this. We need to be ready for anything.
Zinewist
Thanks, Jess. Got any ideas on how we should approach this?
takes a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves We need to be cunning, Zinewist. We can't let them catch us off guard.
Zinewist
Right, Jess. We'll set up traps and barriers to slow them down. We can't let them get too close.
