I wake up to the sound of hissing "Ansley if you are trying to scare me it's not gonna work" I groan but then the hissing becomes louder so I open my eyes and see that I am in a pit of snakes. One of my greatest fears, I can stand a lot of things but snakes aren't one of them.
Don't move.
I am frozen, I look around but there is nowhere to go. I slowly stand up and try to look again. Nothing. Nowhere.
"Alex" I hear a voice whisper from above me. Am I dead? I look up and see Jake. Nope, definitely not dead.
"Get me out of here" I whisper shout and he nods and throws down a vine.
"Grab it, we'll pull you up" Did he just say we? Without hesitation, I grab hold of the vine and they pull me up within a matter of minutes. I grab onto Jake for dear life, let go and shake myself off.
"Your welcome" A voice that I recognize as Ansley's says and I smile and hug her which she was not expecting.
"Thanks" I let go and then look around for Max. "Where's Max?" Ansley puts her head down. Oh god. The last time she did that, I found out Josh was dead. No... Max cannot be dead.
"We aren't very sure. We were all in pits of something, I had spiders and Ansley was just in dirt which we both know she hates. Then we found you and here we are" Panic raises in me. He took Max, I just know it.
"So you're saying that that psycho maniac bitch kidnapped all of us while we were sleeping and now he is probably torturing my brother?!" I shout. Someone screams and I go running to the direction it came from.
The voice lead me to the tree where the video was and Max is tied to it with an arrow in his stomach.
"Oh my god Max" I grab out Jakes pocket knife and cut him down
"Lex, you need to get out of here" his voice is raspy but I can tell that behind his eyes he is scared
"No, I will not leave you, we are a family" he puts his hand on my face
"You're bleeding" he says and I shake my head
"That doesn't matter right now. What matters is me taking care of you. Now I am going to pull the arrow out" he shakes his head
"No, leave me" A tear falls down my face but I pull the arrow out causing him to scream in pain. I quickly remove my cardigan that I've been using as a blanket and tie it around his torso tightly.
"Come on we have to get you out of here, I have to get you over to the water mill thing you made and clean out the wound. Can you stand?" He tries to sit up but falls back down and groans in pain as a result.
"I got this" Jake says while picking Max up causing him to groan in pain again. We run back to the camp and bring him to the water mill.
"Take off the bandage, we need to soak the wound" I order and Jake nods and immediately takes off the bandage. I take a piece of the cardigan and dab it in the water. Then I bring the now wet piece of cloth and lightly put it on his wound.
"Ah" he whimpers in pain
"I know it hurts Max but this is all I can do for now" I leave the wet piece of cloth on him and cover it back up with the cardigan.
"I'm gonna die out here" Max looks up at the sun and a tear falls down my face.
"You are not going to die Max, I will not let you die you here me. You are not going to die" I caress his cheek and he raises a hand to my face.
"I have lost too much blood" he chuckles. "You have been the best sister I could ask for, you've always stood up for me when I got bullied and you wouldn't let anything bother you. I love you so much and I don't want you to forget that" he starts coughing and he finally calms down.
"You are not dying on me Max! Max look at me! You are not going to die! I will not let you!" At this point tears are streaming down my face.
"I love you sis" He says while looking up at the sky.
"Max don't close your eyes! Max! Max wake up! Max! Max! Wake up!" I shout while shaking him but it's too late. I start crying over his body like how I was with Josh and Carson, but worse.
"YOU BITCH! YOU KILLED EVERYONE I CARE ABOUT!" I scream hoping that whoever is doing this would hear me.
"I'm so sorry Alex" Ansley says and I don't even respond. I just sob, I sob so hard that I feel like my guts are going to fall out.
"He was a great guy" Jake puts a hand on my shoulder but I push it off and start walking into the Forrest and they follow.
"Alex what the hell are you doing?" Ansley whispers and I start laughing.
"I am not afraid" I mumble. "I AM NOT AFRAID! YOU KILLED EVERYONE I LOVE SO IF YOU WANT TO KILL ME THEN DO IT ALREADY! JUST DO IT!" I scream and an arrow comes shooting at the tree I am standing next to, Jake pulls me out of the way and I smirk
"What the hell were you thinking?!" He whispers hours and I start laughing hysterically.
"What are you laughing at?" Ansley asks while looking at me as if I belong in a mental institution.
"I know where he is now. And I want blood"
