Kidnapped at age 15

Chapter 10

Brittney's pov.

When the sun raised it finally gave the dirty house light. I could see every little crack and dent in the walls and floors. I got up from my spot on the floor and went into the kitchen searching for something to eat. I figured that I wouldn't find anything since no one has been in this house for years it looks like. I walked out of the kitchen and back into the living room when I noticed max was gone.

"Brittney!" I heard him yell from outside.

I ran as fast as I could to where I heard his voice and there he was. Standing in front of a bush with berries in his hands. I walked towards his extended arm and looked at the berries in his hands. They were black which didn't look right at all.

"Are these even safe?" I asked making a disgusted face.

"Yeah. The only helpful thing Lizzie taught me was what berries are edible and which ones aren't. They're black berries" Max said eating one.

I took the berries from his hands trusting him as I ate them one by one. After eating half a bush of berries, I didn't really care if they were poisonous or not.

"Looks like we will be living off of these until I make a spear and go fishing with it" Max picked up a stick and twirled it around in his hand. "I can use this one"

I nodded my head and walked back towards the house letting him do whatever he planned on doing with the stick. I stood in the living for a second before thinking about what I wanted to do. I remembered about the rooms upstairs so I decided to go fix them up and bring down whatever is useful. I walked into the first room I saw and looked around at everything this time. It was still a huge mess with trash and broken glass everywhere.

I walked around to where the bed frame was. There was a mattress underneath the frame that I did not see before. I started picking up the trash that was in the way of the mattress and threw it into a random corner in the room. I tried my best to get the mattress out and surprisingly I was able to all by myself. I even got it down the stairs and into the living room. I moved the broken chairs outside and made room in front of the fireplace for the bed.

I smiled at my progress knowing I will probably actually sleep for once. I walked over to the back window and saw Max forming his spear with the stick he had earlier. I shook my head a the weird kid and walked slowly back upstairs but as I was going up, I saw something out of the small window. I stopped and looked closely at what I saw. it was a person but not just any person, It was lizzie..
