Putting my arm around nazzie's shoulders I thought to myself how glad I was that my shirt was so big on her. "Lets head to my car and I'll get you some clothes." I said in a soft voice and she nodded.
Walking back towards the house that belonged to the steploser I kept my arm around nazzie steadily.
Why is it so quiet? Usually you would hear scuffling in the bushes or birds tweeting. Is there a storm comming? All these thoughts kept swirling through my mind as I looked up and all around.
Nazzie could tell I was tense because she put her arm around my back and squeezed a second.
To afraid to speak I kept silent and we were just about to the edge of the forest when I heard a click then a defining bang.
Falling. Why am I falling to the ground? Looking at Nazzie she had a shocked and terrified look on her face. She screamed and went after me. What's wrong? I tried to say but again my body felt numb and I couldn't move my lips or get my voice to work.
I was laying on the ground with Nazzie clinging to me saying, "John!!! Big brother!!? Oh no... Oh no... John!!! Answer me please...." my vision was turning grey as I looked at her and smiled. Your so beautiful sis don't cry... I had tried to say but could only smile as I reached up and wiped a tear away.
When I saw the blood on my hand I looked at it curiously. Huh.. So I might die like this.
Right then Nazzie was jerked away from me and I saw the familiar Brown hair of that steploser. He had a gun. No.... No!!! I have to move!!! I have to save her! As if on it's own accord my body moved standing up. Pure adrenaline rushed through me and I launched myself at him. The steploser was shocked and let Nazzie go as I wrestled him. "Run into the forest! I'll come for you!" I said raspily.
Nazzie ran as fast as she could behind me and I was left with him. Wrestling for the gun it went off again, this time breezing by my ear. I got the gun and hit his temple as hard as I could with the butt of the gun making him sway and fall almost lifelessly.
"Payback is a bitch." I said slowly trying to get up. My body is so numb... I thought as I stumbled through the woods. Tripping over a rock I fell face first into the stream leading to the cedar tree, my nose just barely above the water. Have to get to Nazzie... Have to save her... I thought as my body was overcome by the numbness and I could no longer move. For the third time that day, my body fell into complete darkness.
