The scream

John and Kasandra were feeling better after everything that happened at the village. They even made their own garden. John grew even closer with Kasandra but he thought it wasnt a good time to "settle down". So he tried to keep this relationship as professional as it can be. As the days went by they decided that they should exercise so they keep fit. John didnt like the thought of his own fluids dripping down is forehead, but he did since it would make her to stop asking him. He ended up enjoying it but he didnt want to admit it. One week went by and they seemed to reach a limit. The limit was when they could barely even stand up. They realised that they are even more unfit then they thought. They couldn't continue with the exercises but they did stretches early in the mornings. One morning they heard something, something that wasn't a familiar sound. It was coming from the forest as they were living nearby it. Kasandra wanted to go check what it was but John insisted that he should go instead. John went empty handed since they weren't complete with any weapons yet. He was very scared but he didn't want to show fear as it could maybe attract whatever was making the weird noises. The closer he got to the dense forest, the noises became louder. He was almost just a few centimeters away and before he took another step he looked back at Kasandra only to see she wasn't there. He thought that she probably went inside the house. He brushed off the fact that she wasnt standing there but when he heard a bloodcurdling scream the hairs on the back of his neck stood up. He froze for a few seconds then he realised that was a scream of a woman. What should John do? Should he look for where the scream was coming from or should he stay where he is?
