Chapter Sixteen - Don't Leave Anyone Behind

I felt that if I tried to look at whatever it was, it would kill me in a second. I didn’t want it to see me.

“Isabella,” I whispered.

She looked at me and raised her eyebrows, as if she had shaped them in a question mark.

“Do you know what’s there?” I asked. She nodded at me and then she pointed at her ear.

Listen. I said as if I heard her voice in my head. I tried to listen hard and then I could hear some mumbling, coming from far away. It sounded like people were speaking.

If it is people then run and ask for help! Urged a voice

It could be them, though. Echoed another voice in my head.

I slowly lifted my head to see what was there and as soon as I did, I regretted it. In the far distance, I could see him. He was standing there with Alan and Matt, and he was saying something to the two of them. I could just about hear what they were saying.

“How could you?” He asked them. “How could you search this WHOLE damn forest and not see them?” he was now yelling at them.

“Ok, I know. We’ll search again but this time, we won’t go looking for them. They will look for us,” answered Matt.

“So, you think that you will just appear in sight and tell them to follow you? My daughter is cleverer than that,” he said. When he said daughter, it was like a punch in the stomach.

“No, what about-“he started.

“Not here. They could be anywhere.” said my dad. He pulled Matt close and told him to whisper in his ear. Matt whispered it and then my dad’s eyes shone as if he had found gold. He started to laugh.

“Why didn’t I think of that?” he said shaking his head.

Violet looked at me as if she as going to throw up. I squeezed her hand reassuringly even though I didn’t hear what he had said.

“When they turn away and walk off, then we will run. If we’re fast enough, we could go back to the river.” whispered Isabella. I nodded in return and as soon as they turned around we all ran for our lives. Isabella, Violet and I were in the lead but Kara and Kate were behind us. There weren’t as far behind.

“It’s ok. We’re far enough.” she said as she panted.

“We have to stick together, if they try to attack, we’ll be stronger then by ourselves,” I said. I then heard a yell.

I turned around to see if anybody else had heard it and they all looked at me as if nothing had happened.

“Did you hear that?” I asked Bella.

“Probably an animal or a bird,” she said.

I turned around to tell everyone that if they wanted another drink, they had better do it quickly because we had to leave as soon as possible, but I couldn’t see Kate.

“Where’s Kate?” I said. Nobody answered me. “Has anybody seen Kate?” I said a little louder. Everyone shook their heads apart from Kara.

“Kara? Do you know where she is?” I said coming close.

She didn't asnwer for several seconds. 

“Yes,” she whispered.

“Where?” I demanded.

“When we were running, I saw Kate fall. She screamed really loudly, and I was about to help her but I saw the men coming at our way. They weren’t far behind me but they left me alone and ran for Kate.” She said as tears dribbled down her cheek.

“So, in another words, you left her behind, and ran to save yourself? Is that how you like it? You expect people to give their lives for you, but you run off when it comes to a matter of life and death to a friend?” I was now yelling in her face. More and more tears dribbled down her face.

“Kill me then,” she whispered.

Heyy guys!!! 

I haven't updated this story since forever but here it finally is. I haven't updated, and so today I felt guilty so I decided to give you two chapters in a row. Anyway this authors note was made because I am warning you, and telling you that I might not update as quick as usual. I will still obviously update every now and then, but not everyday as I used to. So anyway, please keep reading this story to find out what happens and by the way, (not much spoilers going to be given) you will find out the girls' backgrounds and their life story. I have sort of given Violet's already but that's not all of it. Please keep checking for updates and keep the support going! It would make my day if you press that vote button and help me get to at least rank #75 (Not the highest ranking but it suits me). Make sure to follow me if you're not already and have a beatiful day :)
