Chapter five

Martin's POV

I looked back at my little brother, Jackson. He was crying pretty hard as we ran. I pushed him ahead of me, silently telling him to keep going.

making sure he was in front of me, I looked back into the darkness, feeling dread come over me as I heard more of jackson's sobs.

I heard a snap as Jackson went down, he let out a light scream as I ran back to him, kneeling down by his side.

I look back up at the woods, knowing we were safe, we'd been running for about a hour now.

I let out a breath as i cradled Jackson to my chest. As he cried into my shoulder, I looked at his ankle, it was bruised.

"What'd you do?" I whispered, lightly touching his ankle. As soon as my finger tip touched his skin, he flinched away, crying harder.

I hugged him once before letting him go, getting the tent and supplies.

After setting it up, I carried jackson into the green tent, seeing as he'd fallen asleep long ago.

I placed him on the mat, wiping his tear stained cheeks. I sighed, I try to be a caring brother. Key word being 'try'.

I felt my own drowsiness taking over me as I fell by Jackson's side. I closed my eyes, and eventually fell asleep.

"I'm fine, Martin."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm fine! Now let's go."

I sighed as jack began to walk away with his backpack, jumping over rocks and sticks.

Picking up my own backpack, I soon followed his path, running up beside him, looking at the cut on his cheek, that I've only noticed this morning

"Tell me again where you got that?" I asked, pointing at the cut.

"Stop being over-protective and let's move!" He said. Ya know, for a thirteen year old, he sure doesn't act his age. He acts more, mature.

I smiled as I walked along with my little brother, tugging on his shirt every time he'd go the wrong direction(there is only one direction).

The leaves rushed on the bushes as Jackson turned back and looked at me with a scared expression. We'd made it all this way to France, and the last time we heard a strange noise(oooooh leaves so scary) people came and tried to make us go back to the Lab.

"Martin I don't wanna go bac-," I placed my hand on jackson's mouth as I pulled him backwards. I felt him swallow as people came out from behind the bushes. I took my hand off Jackson's mouth as we stepped backwards.

If going back to the lab meant Jackson could be free, I'm going back.

I heard distance chatting as I found them all turning around, retreating, leaving me and jack shocked, and completely confused.

"... Ok, Run!" I whisper, as I turned around and started running again, Jackson soon behind me.

"What was that about?" Jackson asked, I didn't have to be a genius to know what he was talking about.

"I don't even know, it's like they... gave up almost.." I said, rubbing the back of my neck awkwardly.

We could hear metal clinking as we came up to our destination, we got our tools out as we opened the door and stepped inside.
