Fern had buried herself in the snow. The trap was set. She had tied a loop on one end of the rope and slid the other end through the loop. So now, and she had to do was throw it over the person when they walked up the steps, and pull. She waited in the snow for maybe an hour, when she heard what sounded like a car door shutting in the distance. Fern held her breath. She could hear snow crunching as someone walked towards the steps. A boy, about Ferns age, slowly climbed the steps, and into a few. Now! She jumped out of the snow and threw the rope over his head. He jumped back in surprise, but it was too late. She pulled on the end and the whole thing suddenly squeezed around her neck. "Wheres Sara!?" She shouted at him, pulling him to the ground.
"Put Zack down!" A new voice, a girl's voice shouted in the distance. Before Fern could see who said it, sparks exploded in front of her as a bullet smashed the handrail of the steps. Fern fell to the ground and rolled to the nearby tree as another gunshot rang out. Fern heard something glass shatter in the distance behind her.
It wasn't long before she heard footsteps running towards her. She pulled the hot sauce out of her jacket pocket and unscrewed the lid. This is my only chance! She had left the knife in her backpack and didn't have the time to get it out. The last time Fern was this scared was when that tornado hit town. They had stayed in the nearby storm shelter. Suddenly, the realization hit her. The storm shelter! That must be where they took Sara! It's worth a chance at least! She took a deep breath and started running. She heard another gunshot as the snow suddenly exploded in front of her. She kept running. She ran into an alleyway where she jumped a fence and into someones back yard, ran across to the other side, and jumped the fence again. she ran until she couldn't anymore. She ended up in a random ally she didn't recognize. There was a large dumpster, so she hid behind it and collapsed, slowly catching her breath. She only now realized how tired she was, as her eyes slowly began to close. Tomorrow, I'm heading over to the storm shelter. Fern thought as she slowly drifted to sleep.
I'm coming to save you, Sara.
