trapped

twenty

i leaned against a tree, my heavy breathing the only thing that was heard. But I needed to calm down, I needed to calm down or I'd be caught.

Someone had been firing at me. I think it was the prisoner. He had left and taken the rifle with him and came after me.

I started running once I heard another shot. But I was to loud, leaves and branches also made noise, not my fault.

Slowing down didn't help me, because a barrel was pushed into my back. A chuckled echoed through the air.

"Lily." He chuckled softly again. "Lily, Lily, Lily. How stupid are you pretty girl?"I heard a click, but no bullet, no wound.

"Haven't you heard your parents talking to a mysterious Joe? But you haven't pieced the puzzle together?" He snickered, his hand pushing the barrel further in my back.

"But it's to late now. Your parents are miles away, and they can't reach you. They can't. Not anymore." He kept the barrel pressed tightly into my back but leaned next to my ear. "now you're mine."

I kicked his leg as hard as I can, lucky his finger not on the trigger, and I ran. I was getting away from him.

"S-Stay away!" I shouted, running as fast as i can.

"You can't run forever pretty girl!"

I tripped, stumbling down the dirt hill, getting scratches on my way down.

At the bottom of the hill, I rolled on to my stomach. I started brushing of dirt with my eyes sealed shut, not wanting to see what was in front of me.

and then the cold barrel found my head this time, not my back, and I wanted to scream, but all I got out was cries, tears running down my dirt cheeks.

"lily lily, you've gotta calm down. people might here you"

the cold barrel pushed closer to my forehead. The man leaned down further, giving me a grim smirk.

"because no one likes a pretty girl that cries."

and it went black.
