Four days earlier Amber and her boyfriend were camping at the river a few miles outside of town. It was a calm and cool night with a slight breeze that came from the south. The air smelled of rain. In the distance lightning could been seen. Amber checked her phone for the latest weather update.
“We should probably pack up and head back to town.” She said as she passed the phone to him.
“After all that time we took to setup the tent and lights. I’m not going anywhere.”
Then he looked at the phone, “It’ll be okay. It’ll blow over. I only see a few sprinkles on the radar. No need to worry.”
He passed the phone back to her and then headed for the wood pile. In the distance the lightning got closer. The sound of thunder started to appear. The calm wind from earlier had disappeared. It was the calm before the storm. Amber knew they needed to leave, but her boyfriend wanted to stay.
A short time later it appeared that the storm had moved off to the west. Amber had been overreacting. It never did rain. Only some lightning and thunder from the distance.
The two of them sat by the fire. Suddenly there was a noise from the trees on the west side. A flash of lightning revealed a shadowy figure. A second flash and it was gone.
“What was that?” Amber said as she grabbed a hold of her boyfriends arm.
“What was what? I don’t see anything.” Then he stood up. “Come on let’s go to bed.”
Suddenly an arrow pierced his chest from behind. A harpoon. He fell to the ground. Amber rushed to him. Blood all over his body. Blood all over herself. Blood all around the whole area.
The shadowy figured reappeared. He grabbed hold of her. Covered her mouth with a chloroform laced towel. After she passed out, he dragged her away into the trees.
