Not a Clue

Forgotten

He woke with a start. He knew where he was. But he didn't get why they took him now. When they were in trouble. Why would they take him instead of Emery?
"Ah, you're awake. I was starting to wonder if you had died," Terra said as she put her palm on Emeran's cheek.
"Where," he said as the binds tightened, "is Emery?"
"Oh, the girl? She was left at the camp."
"Is she," she was trying to suffocate him, "alright?"
His face was already blue turning purple.
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe Thane killed her?" She said as she laughed.
"No. Please," but his next words were drowned by Terra screaming and writhing in pain and agony.
He couldn't tell if he was imagining her dying or if he had caused her to die. But whichever one, Terra was lying on the floor dead.

Emery didn't know what to think. Her backpack that was full of supplies was gone. Emeran was gone. Everything was gone. She was either supposed to be left behind or she was forgotten.
She started to stand up when the man who killed her grandmother came out from behind a tree.
"You!" She said as she took 2 steps back.
"Yes. Now, if you would be so kind to make this easy for me," he said as he took out his gun from his pocket, "You can just stand still and this will go by quickly."
"NO!"
She jumped out of the was as the bullet went right over her head.
"Emeranna, dear. You are going to die."
He shot the gun again.
