she had wholeheartedly planned to be there early, had wholeheartedly believed sheâd be there to babysit as she always was. sheâd gotten ready, she remembers that much. but suddenly itâs morning and sheâs in the woods. perhaps more alarmingly: sheâs covered in blood. fear overwhelms her, she has no idea whatâs going on. gaze drops to her leg, where there had been a bite from an animal just days ago. she remembers being attacked, she remembers it, and yet her leg is fine. no bite. no trace of anything ever happening.
the only place she can think to go is dustinâs place. because maybe, just maybe, she did actually babysit. maybe she went and it was fine and somehow she ended up in the woods covered in blood after she babysat jason., was that any better? no, maybe not. still, she couldnât think of any other place to go.Â
and so, no later than six in the morning, rory finds herself knocking on dustinâs bedroom window. covered in blood and beyond scared she has no idea what his reaction will be, has no idea what anyoneâs reactions would be. safer going to the window she decided, less people will see him talking to a blood-covered girl. if she did do something bad she doesnât want to drag him down with her.
