The life of Bethany. -A Jaden Smith Love Story

BETH 15

I wandered in land through dense jungle and it cleared out into a road. There was no one is sight so I made my way along the dust track taking my time. Suddenly, I heard a group of men coming I ran and hid behind a tree whilst they came limping down the dusty road. I heard then speaking loudly in French, I couldn't really understand what they were saying but I think they saw me. They started walking up to me faster and faster. I backed away slightly getting scared.

'Hello girl' one of the taller ones said in a strong French accent 'What are you doing out here alone?'.

I started backing off faster and soon I was running through the forest. Trees and branches hit my arm causing a throbbing pain to spread through my whole torso. I ran but I branch tripped me up and I fell into a clearing.

I lay on my back hoping I had lost them. I was too weak to stand up so if they were still near I had no hope of running away.

'Here Lucio!' One yelled in a deep voice 'I found the little girl'.

The group all came up to me and huddled around me. I tried to push myself away from them by dragging my body on the floor but there was another one behind me. I could smell the hard liquor on them and I gagged at the strong smell. One of them ripped off my hoodie making me scream in pain as my arm got pulled back with it.

Suddenly I heard a rustle in a nearby bush and the silhouette of exactly who I wanted to see.
