Alex's pov

I woke up feeling sore everywhere. I could hardly move my legs and arms but I still managed to get myself back up. As I walked thru the woods once again I hung onto the trees for support.

I walked for about 10 minutes before I heard leafs crackling behind me. I stopped and looked around when I heard it again but I didn't look this time I just ran. I tried my best to keep my balance and not fall but I ended up falling anyway and landed onto a tree trunk. I screamed and got myself back up and took off a different direction.

"SOMEBODY HELP ME!"

I stopped for a second and darted off in another direction when I fell for the second time. My legs gave out on me and I couldn't get back up.

"NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!" I cried out hoping that it wasn't lizzie. I started crawling as fast as I could but ended up getting no where.

"Wait! I don't want to hurt you!" A voice yelled to me.

I turned myself over and looked at the person in front of me. It was a guy about my age or older staring at me with a scarred face.

"DAD!" The boy yelled.

I backed up until my back hit a tree.

"Did you catch something?" A man asked coming out of the bushes.

The man looked around and his eyes landed on me. I started to panic, what if they kill me? They have guns. The man walked a bit closer to me and kneeled down in front of me. I pushed myself away as much as I could but I was afraid of moving to much that they would hurt me.

"What are you doing out here? Are you lost?" The man asked me sounding confused.

I looked back between the boy and his father not knowing what to do. Yes I am lost and I don't know why I'm out here I want to go home.

"Can you talk?" The man asked me getting a bit closer.

I moved my legs up to my chest and I'm guessing I looked very scared since the man put his gun down and held up his hands as if I was going to shoot him.

"Maybe she just cant hear" The boy said throwing his gun down too next to his fathers.

The man stared at me looking me over. I got crept out and started moving over and away from the tree.

"I'm not going to hurt you darling I promise" I looked into his eyes and stopped moving but I still didn't trust him.  "So you can hear us. Why don't you let us bring you back to our cabin. I see you got a bloody knee and cuts all over ya"

I thought about going with them for a second and gave in. I nodded my head and the man stood up grabbing his weapons and putting them away in his bag. I tried my best to stand up on my own but I had a hard time and the boy saw that and walked over to me calmly.

"Do you need help? I can carry you if you want to. I promise I'm not going to hurt you"
