The Little Runaway

Chapter 2

hey guys I what do you think of "John" his pic is above *eeeeeeeeeeeeyyyy IAN Somerhalder aaaaahhhhhhh* sorry I am a big fan of his and I hope he does not mind playing the role of John.  :D

I wake up to find myself in a makeshift bed and i see a figure sitting in a chair next to me. I turn my head and moan as I try to sit up but feel a wave of nausea.  "take it easy you have been out for a few hours or so" the figure says as it leans forward and I see its the guy from earlier his blue eyes look at me with concern. his brown hair falling in his face to the point where i just want to reach out and brush it away so i can get a better look at his face. "wh-who are you?" i stutter as i seem to get lost in his eyes. he smiles slightly "you can call me John...... what's yours?" he asks. I watch as he moves the chair closer to me "my name is Mackenzie......" I say softly as I scoot away from him and closer to the wall behind me but then feel a pair of hands grip my shoulders. "you got one heck of a good punch you managed to dislocate my fucking shoulder....." a voice behind me says I look back and try to jump out of the guys grip but he only tightens his grip and gives me a scowl. "let her go, Jacob" john says softly as he stands and places a hand on Jacobs shoulder. Jacob lets me go and I shoot across the room grabbing the chair that John was sat on a minute ago getting ready to throw it at them when John shoves his brother out of the room roughly and turns to look at me but stops when he sees the chair in my hands. he puts his hands up slowly to show me that he means no harm and takes a few steps back for good measure. "I swear I am not going to harm you in any way........now can you put the chair down........please?" he asks me softly as he starts to walk towards me now slowly with his hands still up in the air. I feel myself getting even more tensed up but I lower the chair as he gets closer. I put the chair down and he takes it out of my reach and then walks towards me again. "now try taking a deep breath and calm down" he says as he gets closer. I do as he says but it only seems to make it worse and John notices. "shit.......alright calm down......are you okay" he asks as tears form in my eyes as I start to wheeze for a breath. ahhhh shit why now of all times do I have to have a panic attack. I think to myself as I fall to my knees. "crap.....why now.........." I mumble a little to loud. John is now right next to me and he reaches out to me I flinch away from his touch slightly but that doesn't stop him from putting his hand under my chin and lifting my face up. he looks into my eyes as a tear rolls down my cheek and suddenly he pulls me in for a hug and I freeze "its okay........go ahead and cry if you want I don't mind" I hear him say softly to me and its like everything in me, all of my anger and sadness and fear and pain just pour out of me. I cry silently in his arms as he holds me to his chest not to tight but not loosely either. after what seems like an hour I finally settle down and start to breath deeply as I start to get sleepy. I lift my head up and look at his face to see that he is looking at me with a concerned look in his eyes but I think I might be imagining it because his face keeps going in and out of focus "t-thank you" I manage to say before I finally fall asleep. I feel myself being lifted up and carried back to the makeshift bed and something soft being placed on top of me. then I feel something stroke my face "sleep well ............Mackenzie" John says softly and darkness engulfs me once again.

after I finally wake up again but this time I wake up to John's voice whispering to his brother to be careful not to wake me up. "try not to wake her up you kind of scared her enough to have some kind of panic attack, i'll be back in like ten maybe fifteen minutes I need to take a shower and get something for her and us to eat." he says as he is slowly standing up and quietly walking away from the side of the bed. "fine but if she hits me again......." Jacob sighs "she is not going to hit you if you don't do anything that causes her to" John says with a slight chuckle as he walks out of the room and closes the door behind him. I hear someone sigh and then the chair is being not so quietly pulled across the floor. I turn my head and open my eyes slowly trying to adjust to the light. I see Jacob leaning the chair back against the wall as he puts his feet up on a stool. he starts to lean his head back and I see him open an eye and it locks onto mine. "ah so she's finally awake........sleep well?" he says with a sigh as if he could care less if I slept well or not. I don't say anything as I try to sit up but end up groaning in pain as my head starts to spin and my stomach feels like someone just punched me. I hear a small sigh of frustration and feel a pair of hands on my shoulders gently pushing me back down on the bed. I look up and see a slightly annoyed but also slightly worried Jacob looking down at me. "here drink this it should help with your stomach.........you haven't eaten for a day and a half my brother went to get all of us some food and to get changed." he says as he holds out a Styrofoam cup with a weird colored liquid in it. I sit up slowly and wince when my head starts to spin again. when I am up I take the cup and take a drink from it. I gag a bit but manage to drink it all and my stomach and head feel better. once the cup is empty Jacob takes the cup and helps me get up and shows me where the bathroom is. once I get in there I finish what I need to do and then come back out. "umm.....can I have......my bag and satchel please?" I ask him softly but right when he is about to answer John comes in dressed in a grey t-shirt and a pair of black jeans with some boots and in his hands he is holding both of my bags. "looking for these.." he says with a small smile. "yes thank you" I say as I take them from him and walk back to the bad and place them on it. "you bro find anything good to eat" Jacob says but John just sighs and shakes his head. I open my hiking bag and toss john two cans of soup and he catches the first one but the other one ends up hitting his chest and then lands in his hands. he looks up at me and then back at the cans. "what are these for?" he asks. I look at him "its for helping me with my panic attack........I haven't had one like that for a long time and you are the first person to ever see me have one.......so I want to thank you for helping me get through it" I explain softly. I then turn to look at his brother "and I am sorry for hitting you the other day it was just instinct and my self defense classes kicking in." I say as I look back down at my bag. after a few seconds I her a soft thank you and an it's okay from them. I start to get uncomfortable and go through my bags to find out my bow and my rifle are missing but forget about that and go and get changed into a clean outfit after I take a shower, but I make it quick since the water is cold and then fix my hair up into a ponytail and head back out to the other room to find my bow and rifle laid in the bed. I walk over and see they have been clean and polished. after I check my bags for all my other things I double check my jars of cash. after a few minutes I can hear a knock on my door. "come in" I say and John comes in carrying a bowl of soup and a spoon in one hand and in the other hand he is holding my quiver full of freshly polished bows. "was it you who cleaned my weapons?" I ask while I walk up and take the quiver out of his hand and sling it over my shoulder and place my bow in the quiver with my arrows. "yes.....I brought you some of the soup you gave us thought you might want some...." he says as he lifts the bowl up and hands it to me. I take it and take a bite out of it, I gave him a small smile as I swallow and feel the warm broth go down my throat. "thank you....so where am I and how long have I been here?" I ask quickly. He smiles at me and then goes to sit on the edge of the bed as I go and sit in the chair. "well you are at our little run down cabin not far from the one where we met you at and again I apologize for the way things went back there but......." he says but stops. "but what?" I ask as I look at him. his blue eyes look at me for a second and I see a flash of pain and something else ....fear.  he sighs and then combs his hand through his hair "well my and my brother kind of ran away from home..........." he says cautiously and then looks at me. I look at him shocked for a minute and then smile "me too...." I say. he looks up at me suddenly as if what I said surprised him. " what? were you expecting me to say that I was on a hunting trip on my own or something?" I asked with a slight laugh. He just sits there for a second and then smiles "yeah kinda" he says as he looks at me with amusement in his face. "so how old are you Mackenzie?" John asks quietly. I finish me soup and then sigh "I'm 21 what about you?" I say. "I am 28 years old" he says with a half smile. oh god that smile is just mmm. I think to myself but then I shake my head to get rid of those thoughts and turn to see that the sun has gone down and then I hear the door open. I turn back around and see Jacob has come in and joins us. "what about you Jacob how old are you?" I ask. He looks at me like I just grew another head and chuckles. "I'm 30 why you want to know?" He asks. I laugh and then look at him seriously "me and John were just telling each other our age but he didn't tell me how old you were so I thought I would ask you." I explained as I take my hair out of its pony tail and run my fingers through it. I hear john chuckle. I turn to see that he's looking at his brother who is now looking away and his cheeks are now a slight pink color. I raise my eyebrow at them and then shake my head. suddenly both of them get up and when I turn to look at them again they are both looking at me. "what?" I ask. to my surprise Jacob is the first to break the silence. "we were wondering if would like to stay here one more day with us?" he says as he looks at his brother. I look at John. "just one more day.... please?" John says. I look at him and nod my head "okay one more day won't hurt" I say with a small smile.

after we all said goodnight I get into bed and think about what all that was about and then close my eyes and fall asleep.

I am running I enjoy the feel of the wind hitting my face and going through my hair. I see a clearing up ahead with three wide oak trees one the opposite side. I walk up to one of them but stop when I hear a snap behind me and then something suddenly jumps at me......

I scream as I jump up into a sitting position drenched in sweat and out of breath. suddenly the door burst open and I hear Johns voice "Mackenzie?!" he whisper shouts, but then he sees me sitting in bed probably looking startled and looking like a mess. After a minute he relaxes and walks over to the side of my bed. "are you okay?" he asks. I nod my head and take a deep breath "I-it was j-just a bad d-dream" I say shakily. he looks at my worriedly and then that's when I notice he is standing there in nothing but a pair of sweatpants and I take in the fact that he has a 8 pack and a v-line that leads......good lord he is gorgeous. I think to myself. I blush furiously as I notice that he is smiling down at me. "see something you like, Mackenzie?" he asks with a slight chuckle. I blush even more and look away. "do you want me to stay here with you or are you good for now?" he ask suddenly serious again. but suddenly his brother walks in and I notice he is shirtless too. god does no one even own a shirt here or what. I think to myself. his brother looks at me and then sighs in what seems like relief. "everything alright?" he asks as he leans against the door frame. "yeah I-I'm fine. just a bad d-dream." I say still shaking slightly. he smiles softly at me and then turns "well alright then. come on John lets let her have her sleep" he says and him and john say goodnight once again and walk out and close the door behind them. I sigh as I fall back into bed again and fall back to sleep.

the next morning I am up before the other two an decide to make something good for breakfast. I go out and see what I can find in the distance I can see a small stream and walk up to it I grab my bow and an arrow I aim at a big fish swimming down my way and then I shoot it "hah got you" I say to myself I walk towards it and pick up the arrow and my fish and walk back once inside I see them both awake and they look at me and then the fish. "who wants some fried fish for breakfast?" I ask. They both smile and nod their heads eagerly. i laugh and tell them to get the fire ready since i only know how to do it over the fire and once i finished cooking it I hand them a piece of the fish and they scarf it down in less then two bites. i hear two muffled thank you's and smile as i eat my piece slowly. once breakfast is done and we get changed the guys come to my room and tell me to meet them in the other room. after a few minutes i go to the other room and find John sat on one side of the couch and Jacob sitting in an old rocking chair. i sit down on the other side of the couch and they both look at me. "Mackenzie.... we were wondering if you would let us come with you the rest of the way to where ever you are going?" they ask me and i smile at them both. "sure but on one condition...." they smile at me back but then they give me curious looks as if to say what do you mean. "what condition is that?" John asks. i look at them and blush slightly. " just try to remember to keep your shirts on next time you come to check on me if i have night mare again" i mumble. i look up when they don't respond and john's holding back a laugh and Jacob is blushing slightly while chuckling quietly. i cough and they look at me and start laughing even more "is that all Mackenzie?" john chuckles. "yeah..." i mumble and walk to the room i sleep in and close the door. i hear laughter from the other room and i sigh idiot why did you go and say that... I sigh and walk to my bags and make sure i put all my clothes and stuff back in it making sure everything is packed up neat ready to go for when ever we leave.
