The Hunt for the Huntress

Chapter 9

Previously in The Hunt for the Huntress...

After one week of staying out of Carter's territory he finally comes.
"Good to see you Carter. Long time no see." I said while walking out from behind a tree.
"Sawyer? Is it really you?" Carter asked with tears in his eyes. I nodded.
He beckoned me forward, so I walked to him.
I jumped in his arms until we heard a sound behind us.
We turned around to find my family.
"You're alive."

Chapter 9

I haven't been left alone in weeks. Everyone is scared they'll lose me again.
Carter has guards with me at all times but the only person I want is my boyfriend. Yes I do have a boyfriend.
We've been together for 6 years. I miss him.
I'm pulled out of my thoughts by a knock on the door. I hop off the couch and the guards Carter has watching me following closely behind me. When I opened the door there stood my boyfriend. Marcus.
I jumped into his arms and he quickly caught me and spun me around. The guards growled at him and I glared at them telling them to back off. They shied away from us but still stayed close.
"I thought I really had lost you." Marcus mumbled as he hid his head in the crook of my neck. "Did you really think I'd be that easy? Besides you've been who knows where for the past few years." I told him while playing with his hair.
Someone cleared their throats so we looked to see Carter. "Oh hey Carter." I said. "Hi. I'm Marcus. This weirdos boyfriend." Marcus said while ruffling my hair. I swatted his arms away and he slid his arm around my waist.
Carter glared at Marcus but didn't say anything.

I shot out of my bed. That happened two weeks ago. It's a memory. Marcus and I were together for a week after that happened. I could tell Carter was jealous but I didn't care. I had my boyfriend back.
Then when I went to see Marcus at his house I caught him cheating on me. I locked myself in my room and haven't left it once.
Yeah I know I've been through worse but those things hurt me physically. This hurt me mentally.
People keep trying to get me to come out of my room but I refuse. I don't talk or open the door.
I've had 4 boyfriends. They all ended this way. I'm scared to open up to people now. I trusted them with my life and then they go and do these things. I'm a hunter. I don't need others. Right?

Carter's POV

That day Marcus came to the house and him and Sawyer were so happy I was jealous. I want to be the one to make Sawyer smile.
A week passed after that and Sawyer was so happy until one day she came home looking broken. She wouldn't talk to anyone and went straight to her room. She locked the door and won't let anyone in nor will she come out.
We've tried everything in our power to get her to come out and I've had enough of it.
I pull myself out of my thoughts and walk up to Sawyer's room. "Sawyer I have no clue what is going on with you but you need to come out!! I will break down this door and I do not care if you get mad at me!! I have had enough of you sitting in your room moping around for who knows what!!" I shouted full on pissed.
She opened the door and glared at me. Well at least I got her to open the door.
"You want me to come out!! Fine I'll com out!! Act like nothing's wrong!! Like I can trust everyone!! Well I can't! Every time I trust I get thrown away like last nights garbage!! I can't trust anyone!! I can't open up!! Maybe I have a good reason to lock myself away!! Maybe I not only don't want to get hurt but I don't want to hurt someone!! When I was like this last time I almost killed my entire family!! I almost destroyed the house!! I have a reason to not want to be around people. I have a reason to cry." She started whispering at the end.
Sawyer closed the door again. I just stood there shocked. "That's why we don't push her into things." I turned around to find Blaze and Lillian-Rose. I nodded and went outside.
I need to run.
While I ran I stopped by a lake. I heard voices coming. I quickly hid behind a rock and waited.
Out of the woods walked two people.

Those two people go by the names of...

Sorry guys. School and drama is really distracting and can give you quite a lot of writers block. Anyone have advice on what to do when you're having boy troubles? Anyway sorry for the cliffhanger. I just love them.
