Knock Out

Ring Around The Rosie

Renee's POV

I woke up to tapping on the glass. I opened my eyes and a bird was pecking at the glass. They had clearly been at it for hours because there was a small hole there. I looked around the room. No one was here and it was quiet too quiet. So quiet I could here everything outside. "He's unconscious!" Someone yelled. "Who's unconscious?" I asked as I stood up. Nothing held me back but no one answered. I looked down. It looked like I was standing on a grate. Why does it feel like we moved? My attention returned to the bird. "Is that a hair pin?" The bird had a Bobby pin in its mouth. "I love you bird." I said quietly and grabbed it. I got to work on my knees fiddling with the lock. I broke it and moved the grate to the side with my feet. I pressed my body into the hole and put the grate over me. I dropped onto concrete the tunnels went on for ages. I started running. Running far running fast. I need to escape. I heard a bang. At the end of the tunnel was a fire. Then another then another then another. "Oh shit someone's trying to blow up this tunnel." I said as I heard another bang. I started running again sliding and slipping left and right. I saw a light at the end. "Grass?" I hadn't seen it in days. I heard a ping and stopped again. Down a tunnel was a knocked out man and a phone in his hands. I grabbed that and ran. Out of the tunnel and into the woods behind our school. Locking back the tunnel was perched inside a hill. I kept running pushing myself so hard that I fell from exhaustion. "So much pain." I grumbled. "We need to find her!" Angry voices seethed. I scrambled to my feet running deeper into the forest. Arms circles around me as a hand went over my mouth. I screamed but it was muffled. "It's ok it's me its me." The voice cooed. "Max." I mumbled into the hand hugging my savior. "Please don't let me go please don't let go." I cried into his shoulder. "I'm not leaving." He said as he lifted me up bridal style. He carried me to the others. "My baby oh my baby." Courtney ran to me. "I'm fine I'll live." I said laughing. "He might not." Max grumbled and I laughed more. "Hurry up when I left they were occupied I don't know how long they will be occupied." I said scrambling to get out of here. "She's right." Courtney said jumping into the truck. "Of course I'm right." I said hopping in after words. We started driving along and almost made it away when I heard the terrifying words. "We're being fired at." Everyone stilled and motion slowed. "Is that a grenade?"

Austin's POV

I felt like I was floating. (It brings me great pleasure all the pain I give his poor character I have corrupted lol.) I drifted off to my feet. Renee kneeled in front of me. When she looked up her face was bloody and she was missing an eye. "What happened?" I tried to grab her but couldn't. "You did this I'm dying because of you!" She screamed at me. It felt like a stab to my heart. I heard singing in the background. "Ring around the Rosie." They sang. "A pocket full of posies." Their voice rang or again getting louder. "Ashes ashes."
"We all fall down." The blackness invaded my sights as my head hit something hard.
