Blood dripped down Camila arm as she sprinted down the long narrow wooden bridge. The cold breeze sent shivers down her spine and her lack of clothing contributed to the goosebumps that formed on her body.
Most summer nights had been chilly just like this one & the moonlight lit the path of the small wooden bridge. She stumbled her way across the wooden link, not taking any chances by looking behind her. She had to get away as quickly as possible but her severe injuries to her arms & leg prevented her from going any faster. She stumbled over a small branch in her path, causing blood from her knees to seep out through her skin; but she couldn't worry about the blood, she couldn't worry about how much pain her arm was in or that her leg might be broken. No. She had to focus on what was important. She had to do what she needed to do.
Run. Run as fast as you can and do not look back. Do not turn around. Do not let anyone catch you. because if you do... you're dead.
"Hey!" she heard someone yell from behind her but she wouldn't dare turn around. Her sprinting became a limp & the pain was becoming unbearable.
"You can't run forever!" she heard someone yell again but Camila didn't stop running. Tears streamed down her eyes and she whimpered in pain. She tried covering her mouth to keep herself from sobbing so loudly, but the sound escaped through her hands.
"Stay the fuck away from me!" she yelled back, making her way towards the woods to try and hide. She ducked down between two large bushes and covered her mouth to drown her loud cries. She tried pulling her large oversized t-shirt over her bare legs but the rips prevented her from doing so. She froze in her spot hearing the branches snapping behind her. Quiet.
The wind whistled through the trees and nothing could be heard but the sound of Camila's breathing.
She held her hand over her mouth and stayed as quiet as possible. Taking in small breaths at a time trying to keep herself from crying.
Quiet
Silenced filled the air and a gush of wind blew threw the trees once again. Camila listened intently for any sounds of life moving around out in the woods. She slowly removed her hand from her mouth after controlling her breathing. She started to move but then heard a faint whisper in the distance.
"Camila?" she heard someone whisper. Only it was differently from before. This whisper was more soft and more calm. Nothing like the loud screeches she had heard before.
"Camila?" she heard again and her eyes widened with fear at the realization of who the voice was coming from.
It was Lauren
But what the hell was she doing out here.
"Camila where are you?" she whispers louder.
If she gets any louder she'll be dead Camila thought.
"Fuck" Camila gritted through her teeth. She turned around behind the bush to search for the green eyed girl. As soon as her eyes landed on Lauren, she shot up from the trees and limped as fast as she could towards her.
"Run!" Camila tried whispering as loudly as possible but Lauren's back was toward her.
"Run!" Camila tried again finally catching Lauren's attention. She frowned her brow finally taking in the brown haired girls appearance. She ran over to the injured girl placing her arm around her neck.
"What the fuck happened?!" Lauren asked, her eyes wide noticing the blood on Camila's body.
"Shh.. We have to go now!" Camila said.
Lauren looked around as she helped Camila limp her way through the woods and back to the base.
