Trapped

Chapter 15

Kiera's POV.

"We need to stop, I need to rest."

"We can't stop, they'll be here in the morning." He said breathless.

"Stop, now" I directed with annoyance in my voice. He sighed, stopped and put me down gently. I held the tree to help keep me balanced. My leg was still stinging with pain.

"We can't keep running, you need to rest too."

He knew that I was right so he nodded and set a temporary camp.

I lay against the tree and closed my eyes, It felt nice to just lie down.

"Get as much sleep as you can. We're leaving in the morning."

"Ok." I replied.

I closed my eyes again and pretended to be asleep. When I was satisfied he was asleep. I got up and limped back to the cabin.

I couldn't believe it, my mom was here. I wish I could have seen her, even if it was just the through the window. I missed her so much. A tear threatened to fall but I knew I couldn't let my emotions distract me.

A twig snapped behind me, I turned as quick as I could wincing at the pain my leg gave. It was a man's figure, I could only see the outline in the darkness.

"What are you doing?"

Sh*t. I tried to look less scared and more convincing.

"I wanted to go for a walk."

"But I thought you wanted to rest?"

"I couldn't sleep."

"Then let's head out."

"NO, I mean, I left something important at the cabin."

"We don't have time." he grabbed my hand and pulled me. I followed limping behind him slightly.

"I'm sure we could get there and back before it's morning, it's really important."

He stopped and turned, I thought he was going to slap me. Instead he looked at me. I smiled.

"Fine" he said "how can I say no to that smile?"

I smirked and he smiled.

I ran as quick as I could trying to ignore the pain.

When we got to the cabin it was getting lighter.

"You go get what you need, I'll keep watch."

I nodded and entered the cabin.

I waited for the search team to come. I heard a car engine the sound was getting louder.

"They're here lets go." he signalled me to come out with his hand.

I turned and smiled I would finally get away.

"No." I said firmly.

His face dropped. He knew what I was doing. He started to walk closer to me.

"Stop or I'll scream." he ran and grabbed me. I screamed but he covered my mouth. He squeezed me tighter as I tried to run. He pulled me out. No matter how hard I tried it was useless.

I saw a couple of cops in high vest jackets. I pulled the man's hand down but whenever I tried to scream it was changed in to a muffle.

We hid behind some bushes and watched the cops. I saw them pick up the items I dropped and they put it in a evidence bag and left to put it in the car. There were a couple of cops still searching a little. Then I heard a cop yell
