Save Your Soul. (A One Direction fan fiction)

Chapter 8

We rode off through the darkness. I don't know how long we have been driving for.

I started to feel tired. I let my head rest on Louis' back, as my hands gripped around his waist tightly. I wasn't as scared of motorcycle's anymore. In fact I didn't even wear a helmet this time!

I am so proud of myself!

I really was starting to get tired. All of that killing made me tired... As weird as that sounds.. My eye lids started to droop shut. I want to just relax. My mind wondered around. Going from stuff about college, to Channing Tatum, to food, and to my family, and my mind remained on my family.

It didn't really hit me until now that I may never see my family again. That I will never have a chance to say "I love you" to them. Or, I might never be suffocated by my moms hug. Or, I might never be lectured about stupid things from my dad. Or, I might never be able to get in a stupid argument with my brother ever again.

I might die alone tonight. I'm not going to have my family there by my side when I die. They aren't going to be there to comfort me..

Oh gosh, stop getting ahead of yourself aubree. It's not like you're going to die tonight. You still have a chance to survive this nightmare.

I really need to stop freaking myself out..

But..

Then again..

Maybe I won't make it?

Not only am I going to die with out my family, but I'm going to also die inexperienced.

I haven't had an experience with the world. I know nothing! I hardly have ever party, or drank, and I am still a virgin!

Oh gosh, I'm going to die being a loser!

No. No. No. No.

I need to go to a party right now!

Oh, who am I kidding? Why would there be a party going on during the purge?

Then that's it then. I am going to die a loser. I really wish I lived a little more then I did. I wish I went out more, and had more fun..

But, it's not like wishing is going to get me any where...

Damn it aubree! You're doing it again! You have a chance at living tonight! Stop saying you don't! And, stop pitying yourself!

I swear, I am having like a mental battle.. Am I going insane or something?

All of a sudden I heard a loud gun shout. And, then the motorcycle started to swerve rapidly. My head jolted up.

"Fuck!" Louis swore loudly.

"Jump off!" He demanded.

"What?"

"Do it."

Louis rolled off the motorcycle, and toppled on to the ground. Well, it's not like I'm going to chill on this crashing motorcycle by my self!

I jumped off the motorcycle, and fell on to the ground. Or, should I say my leg.. I landed on top of my left leg, and I wanted to scream of pain, because it hurt so badly.

The motorcycle crashed in to a tree. And, blew up in to flames.

Then there was another gun shot.

Are we being attacked?!

Louis rushed over to me, and pulled me off the ground. I limped to my feet.

"Come on!" He urged me.

Louis rushed in to a dark forest, and I limped behind him.

While doing this, gun shots went off one after another. Louis pulled out his gun, and shot behind him.

This was so scary. So surreal. I was running through a dark forest, limping, while gun shots are going off.

Am I in an action movie or something?

Nope, this is reality.

"Get your gun!" Louis shouted.

I quickly grabbed a gun from my jacket, and started to pull the trigger.

Okay, now I felt like James Bond.

I was shooting, some random people from behind me, while running through a forest.

I'm not going to lie, this is freaking cool.

I shot a bullet, but then my arm was grabbed.

I was pulled behind a tree. And, a hand was clamped over my mouth. My body tensed, and I almost cried out. Until, I realized it was Louis. He put his hand to his mouth.

"Shhh."

I nodded. We stood close together behind the tree. Our body where more then inches away from each others.

We listened closely. The gun shots from the other people stopped. I wonder who they are..? Are they purgers? Or, are they those guys that where hunting us down?

Foot steps started to approach us. As each foot step moved closer to us, my body stiffened.

"I swear I saw them." A raspy voice spoke.

"Which one was it? Was it that Louis kid?" Another voice spoke.

"Yeah, and that girl."

They where so close to us. If they just take a few more steps, we could be dead. I lifted my head up as quietly as I could to look at Louis. He was looking a different way, obviously trying to listen closely to the people.

"I just know it was them, they had guns!"

"Yeah, but it could just be other purgers protecting themselves."

"That's true."

Footsteps came a little closer to us. My heart was pounding. I had to try so hard to control my breathing, so they wouldn't hear me.

"Well maybe we should go look for them. They couldn't have gone that far!"

"No. It's only a 50/50 chance that it's them, and we don't have time to look for them. Besides we have to go back to the boss."

"Alright fine let's go,"

The footsteps steps started to lead away from us.

"Hey, doesn't that Louis guy have the diamond with him?"

"Yeah Harry, he does. So we'll have to kill him first."
