I woke up in my bed with a jolt. Holy sh*t that was a pretty weird dream. That's when I looked around and saw that I wasn't in my bed. Confused, I sat up slowly. "Eryana?" I called.
No answer.
Suddenly, a woman came into the room I was staying in. She turned back to the door. "Jared," she called. "she's awake!"
As she waits for whoever Jared is, I study her. She has long blonde hair, and a round face. Her eyes are brown, and she looks pretty young. She has a welcoming smile, too.
A man walks into the room. He has dark brown hair, and a strong jaw. His eyes are blue, and he's quite tall. Then again, I am pretty short.
"Ah, you're awake. We've been waiting for you to wake up." The man says, sitting on the edge of the bed. "Excuse me, where are my manners? I'm Jared and this is my wife, Christina." I give Christina a small wave, and she returns it.
"What happened?" I asked, confused. "Last night you mean?" Jared says. I nodded
"Well, you were running from the officers with a girl. You tripped on a root in front of our house. When we saw you, it was dark. So we took you in and put you in this bed." He answers. "And the girl?" I ask hopefully.
Jared looks down, as if he's afraid to tell me. "The officers got her."
No. No. No. No. No. This can't be happening. Not my little sister. Not my sweet, innocent, Eryana.
Jared looks at me, and gives my a tissue. I feel my cheeks. They're wet. That's great. My little sister just got taken, and now I look like a complete ball of sh*t in front of people I just met.
"And there is one more thing." Jared adds.
Now I'm really scared.
"She's scheduled to be hanged tomorrow morning at 10:00."
What did y'all think? Cliff hanger huh? Chapter 3? Or nah?
Xoxo,
