I ran.

I didn't know where I was running, but I was.

I took a sharp turn left towards a main road.

I could hear him gaining on me from behind.

Suddenly, I heard a gun shot.

I froze in horror, I slowly turned around. The man who was after me was writhing in pain on the Forrest floor.

A tall, skinny man was standing over him with a gun in his hands.

He looked up at me, I began to back away. He then started towards me. I gasped and began backing away faster.

He used his long legs to advance quickly. I hit a tree and squeezed my eyes shut, waiting for the pain.

It never came.

I slowly opened one eye to see he was standing a few inches before me.

"We have to go." His deep raspy voice bellowed, I violently shook my head, grasping the tree for an anchor.

"Do you want him to kill you?!" He said harshly.

I looked down at the gun in his hand then back to his eyes. He sighed and pushed his gun away into his pocket, he raised his hands as if to surrender.

My eyes flickered back over to the man on the ground shuttering then back to the man in front of me.

He grabbed my hand and quickly dragged me behind him.

"I'll get you!" The man behind us yelled using all his might.
