The Runaways

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

-Nobody's POV-

Austin and Ally stood in the woods not knowing what to do. They dared not to get any closer to Charlie or the house because they knew Myrtle would come out and bring them right back inside, where they 'belong'.

"What do we do now?" Ally asked.

"I don't know. I don't even know what happened to Charlie or if he's dead..." Austin said.

The porch light immediately turned on and a man came outside. Austin and Ally hid behind a large rock and watched.

"Damon, take Charlie inside. I'm gonna have to teach him a lesson." Myrtle said with an evil laugh.

"That's Damon?" Austin asked.

We both looked at each other.

"She's gonna teach poor Char a lesson." Ally said.

"We gotta get him outta there!" Austin said.

"It's no use. He's already inside. And if we go back inside, there's no escape." Ally said.

There was a long pause.

"What are we gonna do? We don't even know where to go now." Ally said.

Austin took out his backpack. He had a good 3 week supply of food, a water bottle, a first aid kit, some batteries, blankets, and 3 flashlights.

"This is all I have." Austin said.

Ally pulled out her backpack.

She had their clothes (Austin's, Ally's & Charlie's), some more batteries, a a water bottle, and some food.

"And that's all I have." Ally said.

"Should we walk away from the house?" Austin asked.

"I'm not sure. Because they might see the glare from the flashlights." Ally said.

"Might as well sleep here then?" Austin asked.

Ally shrugged. She took one of the blankets from Austin's bag and laid down.

Within 20 minutes, the 2 were asleep.

They woke up to the sound of rustling and talking. The cops were there, investigating.

"Shoot. Ally, we gotta go." Austin scream-whispered.

"How are we gonna get out? If we leave, they're gonna catch us." Ally said.

They started thinking.

The cops went to the front yard.

"Austin, here's our chance. Let's go." Ally said.

They quickly stuffed the blankets in their bags and started running.

"Where to?" Austin asked.

"Just keep running. I think there's a road ahead." Ally said.

She was right. There was a road. A dirt road. Suddenly a car came rushing by them.

"ALLY!" Austin yelled. He wrapped his arm around her waist & pulled her back. They looked at each other taking deep breaths.

"I...almost...died." Ally said.

They noticed a person come out of the car and run up to them.

"Are you guys alright? Are you hurt?" The woman asked.

"We're fine." Austin & Ally said.

"Are you 2 lost? Because I own a foster home for teenagers." She said.

Austin and Ally looked at each other. And then back at the lady.

Authors note; What do you think they'll do? Will they go with Stacey (that's the lady's name) or will they keep moving?
