this couldn't be happening. not to her, not to her friends. this is the type of thing shown in horror movies ; they don't happen in real life, not to real people. not to a few college students who decided to go on a trip to a cabin in the woods. dana wasn't cut out for survival. she couldn't handle blood, nor gore, and especially not loss. especially not death - murder, when it happened right in front of her. she got anxious when she thought she wasn't going to get her assignments done on time, for christ's sake. but this was happening. most of her friends were dead already, slaughtered by - what? zombies? monsters? the whole situation had started out as surreal, but now reality had come crashing down on dana, and she was hysterical. sobs roll through her shaking body, bloody hands running through ginger locks, pulling out small strands as she tries to understand, tries to forumlate a plan to keep the remainder of their party safe from the threat that had nearly eradicated them, already.
when arms wrap around her shoulders, dana first tries to fight back against whoever was trying to hold her arms down, wailing let me go, please, let me go. the only thing that keeps dana from running is the voice that begins to comfort her - familiar and soothing ; not a monster, but her friend, jordan. thank god. thank god jordan was still alive. after a moment, dana settles down, still weeping, tears streaming down her cheeks. they stay like that for a long moment, jordan holding dana, the tension and fight falling away from dana, leaving her to try and keep herself from collapsing completely into jordan's embrace. when dana can finally breathe, she's quiet, doe eyes wide and watery, sorrow and fear turning into anger for the death of her friends. 'we have to do something,' dana says finally, placing a hand over jordan's arms that are wrapped around her. glistening eyes move to meet jordan's. the redhead seems to have a new fire within her. she couldn't just sit there and wait to be killed. 'their deaths can't be vein,' @nightsprung.
