Allie enjoyed her time alone, in fact she loved it. She was a busy woman who rarely had time to enjoy life. So when she got any time off of work she would spend it in the wilderness camping and enjoying the outdoors. After a busy evening in the office her boss entered her office, "Guess what" he exclaimed. "What" replied Allie slightly irritated. "You, my friend are getting a weeks paid vacation". The irritation left as Allie as she smiled happily. Breathing a sigh of excitement Allie divulged into her plans. She would be spending the week at a secluded camping area just outside of Washington.

After leaving the office Allie rushed home packing all the necessities she would need for her much needed trip. She arrived to the camping spot in just under two hours. After walking a way to where she would camp she got her tent up and started on her campfire. Within a few hours she was done relaxing under the luminescent light of the nights full moon. While reading a book of short scary stories she always made sure she brought along, she started getting an overpowering feeling of uneasiness. That sort of feeling you get when someone is watching you. Putting away the scary stories book she crawled into her tent. Just as she was about to relax she heard the sound of footstep. Cautiously Allie made her way outside. Through the dim light of the campfire she could make out the eerie shape of a figure. Allie had watched way to many horror movies she was not about to say hello. Instead she grabbed her small bag and quickly made her way back to the car. When she reached the car she realized her keys where back at the tent. She had to go back. Cautiously she made her way to back to the campsite. When she reached it everything was gone there was nothing only the smell of smoke and the ashes from her campfire. This cant be she thought as shes searched the area frantically. Then she remember she had a spare set of keys she hid in a compartment under the car. Taking a deep breath she started back. Cautiously she crept through the woods taking every which way she could trying to avoid travelling the obvious path. As she inched closer she could see the shine of her silver Toyota. When she got close enough she inched her way out of the dark shrubbery. Relief washed over her as she rushed to the car. To her horror she realized the tires were slashed. then she heard it the sound of footsteps. Turning herself around quickly she saw it, the tall figure of a man his face illuminated by the light of the moon, the glint of a large knife shone in his left hand. She felt sick when she recognized the man. It was her boss.
