Chapter 1
Anna’s POV
Storm clouds settled in. I knew it was going to snow before I got to the cabin, but at least. I was close enough. If something happens, I can find some kind of shelter. My parents died two months ago and left me a cabin in the middle of nowhere. I loved it as a kid, but haven’t been
back since then. I don’t know what kind of shape this place is in; I hope it's livable since my fiancée officially left me this morning.
Grabbing my bag from the closet, I was only going to take what I needed. I needed to get out of here fast. I had a life planned with Jacob, but he tossed it away when I caught him in bed with another woman. He blamed me for it, fine, whatever.
“Stupid,” I said, shaking my head. I don’t even know how I didn’t see this coming, or how he got away with it. He said it’s been months of fucking other girls. Damn, that stings more than ever. Tears form in my eyes, but I push them aside and wipe my face.
I can’t cry over someone who treated me badly, cheated on me, and tossed it in my face like it was my fault.
Was it my fault?
I know I should face the truth. I am not going to be good for anyone, but I thought I was. I did everything for him, cleaning, massages, and cooking. But he found some side piece, and she seemed to do better for him. I guess I am cutting my losses and hoping I find someone who
is going to love me for me and not make me feel like a slave. I know I am not a slave. I grabbed my computer, journal, and a few other things before I walked out to my car. I tossed the things in the back seat. I’ve been living here for the past five years.
“Goodbye, Jake,” I said, turning my car on.
“We need to chat.” A text came in from Jake.
“No, there is nothing to talk about.” I sent it back. “I am leaving the apartment now; I’ll never miss you,” I said, tossing my phone aside. I grabbed my GPS and put the address of my cabin in. I know I should see him one more time, but I don't know if I can deal with what is happening. I don't want to forgive him again for cheating on me and making me feel less than him.
“Great two hours.” I sighed before I pulled out onto the road. I grabbed a coffee and cookies for the road. I haven’t eaten in a few days, so I forced myself to eat the cookies. They made me sick, and it made me think of when Jake bought me cookies the first time we met. I tossed the rest in the back seat.
Two hours later.
Passing the final sign before my exit, my heart is in my throat. I don’t know what to expect out here. I know I can live out here for a while, but I am going to need to find work or something.
Getting off the exit, it started to snow. Not something I wanted, but I guess it could be worse. It picked up the farther I drove into the forest. I love the forest, but I didn’t know if I was brave enough to try to survive it. Now I don’t have any choice. I knew I was ten minutes away from the cabin when something darted out in front of my car. I swerved to avoid it and landed in a ditch. I tried backing the car out, but it was stuck. I didn't need this; I needed someone to help me. But looking around, I don't see a single light, not close enough to me to help.
“Fuck.” I snapped. “I don’t need this. Why am I having so much bad luck?” I know this isn’t bad luck; it had to be worse. I knew I could get to the cabin before the sun came up, but whatever darted in front of my car was big.
Getting out of my car, I looked around again. It was dark; the only light was from my headlights, and those were dimming. I don’t know what I did to deserve this, but I wish something good would come out of this. I know I wasn’t a good girlfriend, but why am I still suffering? Maybe Jake did something to my car, and this is what I get to deal with. He knew I was leaving for the cabin, and now I don’t even know if I am going to make it there. I kicked my car again. “Piece of Shit.”
“Great!” I yelled. “Thanks!” I said, kicking my car again, and it turned off. I sighed. I don't know what the hell I am going to do. I know my cabin isn’t far, but I cannot see. A howl from a wolf startled me, and it did it again on the other side of the road. I cannot tell how close they are. If I get eaten by wolves, at least I go out like this. I guess.
Grabbing my bag out of the back seat, I am going to have to come back when it’s daylight. I doubt anyone is going to mess with my car. I turned my flashlight on from my phone and headed in the direction of the cabin.
One hour later.
Making it to the cabin, it’s cold, and I am wet. I hated the snow for a reason, and this is just giving me another reason to hate it. I hope the cabin is warm. I don’t know what I will do if it’s cold or I cannot get a fire started.
Forcing the door open, it’s cold, but at least it doesn’t look like it’s in bad shape. I know my dad wanted to do some repairs, but he got sick first, and then my mother. I don’t really believe they just got the flu and died; I think there was more to it, but since it was ruled natural, the police didn’t want to look into it.
Looking around, I found a lamp, I lit it with my lighter, and then managed to find the wood outside for the fire. But most of it is ruined.
“Great,” I said, rolling my eyes. “I guess I am going to have to keep warm another way, and tomorrow I hope my car works and I can get some stuff I need for this place,” I said, rubbing my arms. I knew my father wanted this place to be nice, but it’s a shithole.
Throwing my computer on the bed, at least I have cell service, so I can hotspot if I want to do the internet. If I can figure out how to pay for everything, this place won’t be bad. I don’t have work at the moment, but my parents did leave me a lot of money, so I can take my time finding work. I think I will work on a novel or two and see if I can break into the scene there. I settled in for the night. Even though every once in a while, I would hear a howl from a wolf. I didn’t know we had wolves here now.
