Hidden world

Chapter 7

Alex's POV!!!!!!!!!! (Super excited for this chapter, but I'm only running on a few hours of sleep so forgive me.)

I crash through the forest after a full day of searching yesterday I couldn't find anything and stayed up all night searching for anything that could lead me to Rumi. Finally about three hours ago, or 9:00 a.m., I found a small faint track. Now I've been following it for the past three hours and I just lost it.

"Where? Where? Where?" I scream searching the ground of the woods for even the slightest footprint

Of course I can't find anything,  I don't have much luck with this as is obviously showing with my struggle to find footprints or some kind of prints. Suddenly I stumble upon a long stripe of alternating lines. A hope wells up within me and I start to sprint down them, following where they could reach and lead me to.

A cabin lies in front of me and it seems nice. No sagging roof. Bright, cheery colors. I run up to it and push on the door not knowing what to expect. The door wont give so I kick it in and it lands in a thump unevenly on the floor.  What the.... I think to myself at the sight of the bedraggled inside of the Cabin. Everything is splattered with blood. It is all dried though. I look up and see that there is even blood splats on the ceiling.

I look around and also observe that everything has the word Camen written on it. What or even who is Camen? I pull out a chair and find that there is a large knife in it. I go to the drawers in the kitchen and pull them all out. Each one is full of some type of food.

I go down the short hallway that leads to a single door. I slowly push open the door with a eery long creek. Inside is a small bed and a dresser and another door to what I presume is the closet. I walk across the room and examine everything, looking for Rumi or even a person of any kind. I yank open the door to the closet but instead of the clothes I was expecting there are rows and rows on shelves of vials and liquids. On the bottom shelf there is a set of drawers. I close my eyes as I open it but when I re-open my eyes I gasp and back away in surprise. There are many needles and what look like sirenges piled up in the small but deep drawer.

"Nasty!" I whisper fiercely and shove the door to the closet closed so hard that I hear the vials rattle and crash down on the shelves, and then I hear the satisfying crashing that assures me they have broken.

I  go into the kitchen and grab a pair of razor blade scissors for defense against whatever spooks lie in the forest.

I dash out of the house and look to see a trail of blood leading away from the torture place. I run after the blood and come upon a body. Beside it there is a pile of bile from a human, again NASTY. On his back I see a puncture wound and hole in his shirt. Beside the bile there is a needle, meaning that he isn't whoever lives in that house. I flip him over an realize this is the man who volunteered to help me find Rumi. Angry at him for lying or whatever I kick him on the side of the head knowing it will leave a nasty bruise of my happiness on his brow bone.

I continue running and running until I hear a small wimper to my right. I swiftly turn my head and see that Rumi is curled up beside a tree, trying to dig into her skin with a pointy tree limb. I quickly snatch it from her hand, waking her up.

"Alexis!" She squeals jumping up and trying to hug me tight

"Don't hug me, I don't like hugs. I hate hugs." I grunt and she still holds on

"Well hugs love you!"

"No, no, hugs hate me, we share a mutual feeling of hate now get off of me before I murder your hug very slowly." I threaten and she lets go of me  and steps away.

"Come on, I've got some answers to get." I say and run back to Sean, making sure to drag him into the house.

I pull him into a chair and tie his wrists together and tie his ankles to the chair. Just as I am doing so Rumi gets there and yells for me to stop.

"He is really nice I promise!" She yells

"Well you can't trust anyone and I need to question him." I tell her and continue to tie him up. I look away as I go to get something to interrogate him with and I hear a piercing scream that could only belong to Rumi come from behind me.

I spin around and see a gorgeous guy with silver-blue eyes putting Rumi into a choke hold.

"Let her go!" I snarl as he laughs maniacly through blood stained teeth. His hair is matted and his lip is busted, there is a bloody circle near his hip that floods his white shirt with a dark red flower.

I get down quickly and roll towards him, landing in a crouch beside his legs. I stab his knee with my scissors and jump to my feet as he goes down, freeing Rumi. I kick his stomach and he goes down even farther. Then I position my last blow with my fist, and I knock him out.

I drag him to a chair as well and tie him up beside Sean.

They wake up about an hour afterward. Sean turns and sees Camen behind him and head buts him, causing Camen to bite Sean's nose.

"What the heck you freaks!" I yell at them and push them away from each other.

"Camen. Why did you kidnap Rumi?" I ask

"To get more food." He answers honestly and I lunge toward him slashing my blade across his face his blood splatters into his lap as he screams in pain

"WRONG ANSWER!" I scream psychotically

"What was the right answer?" He asks wiping his face in pain

"There wasn't one." I answer laughing

Now I turn to Sean who has a scared expression on his handsome face. "Why did you go looking for her? Why did you go looking for my friend?" I ask angrily

"I thought you said she was your neighbor?" He asks

"I lied. Now answer me!"

"Because I wanted to save a life?" He says to me as if spitting acid onto my face.

"Well guess what? You shouldn't have done that, I was well on top of things, just as I am now. This is your punishment." I say as I walk toward him. I start to cut into his forehead and Rumi screams 'No'

I look at her angrily "Then what?" I get a great idea into my head and I walk back behind him.  I take the scissors and I snip off most of his long greasy ponytail.

"NOOOOOO!" He screams, wiggling his wrists to try to feel how much I cut. I go back to the front and drop the cut hair into his lap.

"Come on Rumi, let's go." I say and peek outside but go back in, seeing that the sky is dark and the moon is high. "Nope, looks like we will be staying in Camen's room tonight. I say to Rumi as I direct her into the bedroom "Don't try any funny business boys." I spit to them as I close the door to the room and fall to the ground, asleep.
