The Wild Girl

Chapter 6

"Violet!!!" I scream, she groans quietly and I let out the breath I've been keeping in the entire time. I hand her the water and she drinks the whole thing.

Violet looked up at me and said " Hope."

Then nodded.

"What?" I ask

"Your name, you said you couldn't remember, so I gave you the name Hope. I mean I can't just keep saying hey you. I have to call you SOMETHING." She smiles.

"Hope it is." Grins Jack.

"Wait, who are you?" Asks Violet.

"Jack, I saved Hope's life."

"Hey! I could have saved my self. You just... got there before I could get it, it's lucky too, I would have..."

Jack cuts me off, "oh, no it's back for more." He yells pointing.

I scream and hide behind him, he laughs at me, "so not cool." I glare at him, but in my head I'm smiling.

The wind blows and I shiver, this jacket is good for nothing. He looks at me," I've got a little shelter not far from here. " he points to something behind a bunch of trees.

"How long have you been here?" I ask.

"I don't know. What was the date when you left?"

"March 16th, 2015." his eyes seem to bulge out of his head.

"I've been here for.... 5 years." My mouth falls open, how could anyone live here that long. The breeze blows again and suddenly it gets very dark. "We have to go, now." He yells, the wind starts to blow harder, it whips my hair around, slapping my face in the process. He hoists Violet over his shoulder and yells to me "Follow me and hurry!" He runs into the woods and I quickly follow.

We come into a small clearing, with a giant single tree towards the end of it. Jack runs to the tree and climbs up with ease. He sets Violet down at the top and looks at me, worried. "HOPE!" he yells and I hear a low growl, louder and deeper than the first beast I encountered.

I turn around....
