Ambushed

[Prolouge]

" Kelly wake up wake up you promised we could go into cannabal woods" Rob yelled at the top of his voice while jumping up and down to try and wake me up.

"urgh no Rob i didn't now let me get back to sleep" I said while i tried to shove him off.

He finally left y room but sure enough i heard him come back in a few short minutes later. What was he carrying? Oh no he was carrying a tape recorder oh god i'm dead i had to take him now.

They were everywhere getting closer to finding her closer to killing her, they were going to eat her cut her open and eat her. They had managed to get her into a clearing in the local forest and were using the camouflage well, there were only three of them she could tell be the amount of feet she could hear running on the floor. Three cannibals they can’t be that hard to hide from or out run can they? She could hear them now getting closer they were laughing and she could hear the snapping of twigs. Then everything fell silent she could hear her heart beating against her chest, then she saw it the trees moving they were using the trees for cover. So where was she to go? Her life was growing considerably shorter and there was no time to think of a plan, no time to think if it would work just a plan to put into action right away.

                She started to run back the way she had just come from watching the ground as she went. They had almost caught her once but she was aware now it was barbed wire. They were trying to catch her by tripping her up on barbed wire well they weren’t going to catch her not a chance.

                As soon as she heard more laughter in the distance Kelly understood she had fallen right for their trap they wanted her to run they wanted her to run right into an ambush. This had been their big plan to ambush her of course why hadn’t she thought of that. So she did something she knew they didn’t expect she changed direction turned right and headed for the road. When she heard footsteps running behind her she knew the chase was on she knew she needed to find somewhere to hide.  She needed a hollow tree trunk or a thick piece of shrubbery to hide in.

                As she ran she searched she ran looking to her left and right searching for the only reasonable hiding place. ‘They’re going to catch me’ she thought checking the floor and her sides ‘I’m not going to make it’.  She kept glancing left, right and down left, right and down until she found it the perfect hiding place in a hollow tree.

                She picked up a stick and threw it forward then darted left and into the hollow tree that’s when she saw them all race by there must have been at least 35 of them all together. Majority followed the movement the twig had stirred ahead however some stayed they were stood right in front of the tree sniffing the air. She held her breath too frightened of what might happen if they heard her although she didn’t have to be frightened of what might happen. What she had to be scared of is what would happen to her if they found her they would kill her. The same as they killed Rob.

                Tears rolled down her cheeks they had killed her little brother Rob what would people think of her? Would they think she was a monster? Would they hate her? Would they pity her? All these questions rolling through her brain when she heard a clicking noise like when you click your tongue. She snapped out of her trance like state. She looked up to see the three that had stopped in front of her hiding place moving away from her towards the rest of the group.

                 After waiting for half an hour she made her way out and ran towards the road she was almost there she could see a car driving towards her when she tripped. She looked down at her ankles and sure enough there wrapped around her ankles was barbed wire. She tried to free herself tried to escape tried to cut herself free. But it was no use she was well and truly stuck. She was dead, a goner, no more. They would come to check their trap in the morning find her there and eat her.

            She stared to cry she felt so sorry for herself and her little brother rob it was her idea to go on into the woods and now rob was dead and she soon would be. She must have been there for about an hour when she saw car lights coming from the distance in the road she waved her arms wildly but refused to shout. They were coming back she could hear them in the tree's again laughing widly as though they knew she was going to get caught in this trap right here right now.

As the car got closer so did the car "oh come on hurry up" I whimpered looking around i was looking for something to get me out of this mess. I then heard a car door shut and looked up to find Daren ( my best friend) "hurry up and get me out of here their coming their getting closer pliars we need pliars cut me out!" I yelled. Doing as he was told he rushed slinging his tools around left right and centre. He placed me in the backseats shut the door got in the drivers side and drove to the hospital

When we got there i knew i was gonna die my legs were badly infected and i didn't want to stay i wanted to leave them with my body and go up to heaven and join Rob. Rob wouldn't want it I know but too much blood  had been lost and my legs were infected. When i went to sleep last night i didn't want to wake up. I knew when i went to sleep i wouldn't. 

I remember when i knew i was dead co i remember feeling suddenly relaxed and free i felt free but best of all i knew i was happier. I watched them try to bring me back I watched my family cry for our loses but i felt more like me i felt more real!
