[Quinn]

“Sorry to drag you into this,” Quinn mumbled, unbuckling the seat belt. “I could've at least picked up some food before getting us lost...” What a great way to welcome someone to Ohio. That is, if they were still there. She didn't think they were in Kansas Ohio anymore. Quinn gave another cursory glance out the windows. The silhouette of what might have been a house loomed beyond the immense trees. Like plenty of her encounters with Josh, this was horror movie material, so something weird would probably be stalking them soon. That was her cue to check the rear view mirror.

Don't do it, her more sensible side warned. After all, if there were someone back there, what would she do? Die, probably. The token blonde always dies. Better not look.

She grabbed her purse and unlocked the door. The car was old, so the other doors didn't automatically follow suit. She would leave, and whatever was there would still be locked in. If there was something. And there totally wasn't. Nope. Nothing there. Not in the slightest. Don't look, Quinn. Just don't. It isn't worth it.

Quinn couldn't take it anymore. Damned curiosity. Wincing at her own stupidity, she tilted the mirror.

She was greeted with a face.

Apparently, she had very good reflexes. The next thing she knew, the car door was wide open and she was crouched on the forest floor. Whether or not she gave a girly little shriek was completely irrelevant.
