Secret of the Woods

10. The Crash

Okay, how did the boy join us? Mother and I run out of the house, as Grace pulls up. Yelling to my mom to hurry up, that there wasn't much time. She helped me into the backseat, and tells the boy to help buckle me. While she got into the passenger seat.

We had nothing with us, none of our clothes, or belongings, just us.

The moment the doors shut, Graces speeds out of the driveway, and down the road, away from our homes.

We turned onto the back road that leads to the highway. Trying to get away from town to survive.

I turned around in my seat, to look out the back window, and see my dad running behind the car. Staying close but far enough to watch the surrounding and not just us. I started to whimper as I watched, then without warning I screamed.

The memory stops, and I'm back in the woods. No! It wasn't finished, what happened? What was there? What happened to my dad? What is the boy's name, or even what is hunting us? I have questions. Please let me remember this, I know i don't remember much of my past, just let me remember.

Willing my eyes shut, and waited, but nothing happened. I opened them again, looking around. It wasn't to dark yet, had a couple hours left of light. I was still alone, I leaned up against the tree, and shut my eyes for a moment, and I was back in the memory.

To see something ram into my dad from the side.

The boy pulls me to him, and starts to talk to me. I couldn't understand him at the moment, but I could tell it was calming.

I look towards the front to see a man jump in front of the vehicle. No one had time to scream. It was all in slow motion it seems. Grace jerking the steering wheel to one side, then the other. Planning on swerving around the man. But the car lost control and we crashed into the tree. Which killed Grace right away.

The boy was still holding me close to him. He unbuckled our seat belts, and pulled me to the floor, and tells me to be quiet. Because there was laundry on the floor of the backseat, that could disguise us.

When I got a glimpse of Grace. Sitting limp in the driver seat, looking like she could be asleep. Other than her eyes were still open, while her head hanged low, and blood dripping out of her mouth, onto her lap. With some pieces of glass from the windshield embedded into her skin. Causing more blood to pool down below her. Wishing I never saw that, but it was too late, I did.

From underneath the boy, I could hear the door of the passenger seat, get ripped off of the car. With my mother dragged out soon after. I hear a man with a gruff voice yell "where are they, where did they go, I saw them in the car."

"They weren't with us, I swear, we were only the distraction." My mother said trying to breath, considering the situation she was in.

"I guess I'll have to believe you, because all I smell is you, Grace, and your alpha. Goodbye Lauren, I will get them." He said before he stabbed her in the middle of her chest.

The man who attacked my dad, walked over and told the man that they need to get out of there. Also that he heard two heart beats. The man with the gruff voice told him that is was his and Lauren's heartbeat. And that he was stupid dim-wit, who is only a tool. Which got him mad, but they both left, so they wouldn't get caught, or killed on the spot.
