tear him apart. Menta lly telling herself she had to calm down. The goal was to get the girl out safely not to rip the man to shreds, sh e wasn’t there to kill anyone. So, s he moved away , subtly looking around the camp, but remaining aw are of Gerald at the same time.
    Feigning innocence of the dangers around her, she rambled on , trying to act and speak like a typical teenager would. She pointed to wards the side of the mountain where the other campsites were located and began rambling . “This is our first time camping up here. My parents are over there a little ways . ” She found it hard to appear as if she had no clue and was an innocent teenage girl, especially since she had never been a typical teen.
    His campsite was deeper in the woods , away from all the other sites . Jogging and hiking was her way of scoping out an area when ever she came to a new place. Doing so usually made her completely aware of her surroundings . She wanted to kick herself for not exploring further into the woods, for not find ing this site sooner.
    A noise from the tent made Gerald whip his head around. Amber reacted immediately and took advantage of the diversion . S tepping forward with her left foot, swiveling her hip, she brought her right leg around. Leaning her body forward slightly, her round house kick was swift and the top of her foot made a solid connecting thump w ith the side of his face. She knew h e never saw it coming.
