"Why don't you just leave us alone..." I stared angrily at him as tears flooded my eyes.
"Because, I'm not a wimp." He shot the gun at a piece of rubber near me, I flinched and he laughed.

I looked at my foot. The bullet looked to go atleast halfway through my foot, and it was badly bleeding. I took my sweatshirt off and ripped off the soft silk. I took of my black Vans and wrapped it around my foot to stop the bleeding.
"Good thinking emma." Ethan said, I heard him crying. I was getting worried of Elijah, I want to be by him and see if he's ok. The only think to do is yell, I can't walk.
"Elijah!" I yelled. The guy with the gun turned to me.
"Elijah!" I started to cry, he pointed the gun at me.
"Stay quiet!" He said.
"Just tell me if he's ok, please!" I laid back on the ground, he laughed.
"What, are you guys dating? How long? 2 weeks?" Aww you poor babies..."He said in a girly voice.
"3 years,and what's it to you. looking at you it seems you can't find anyone to love you. I mean, who would?" I smiled. I heard Ethan and Kass snicker behind the van.
"Shut up, you have no idea." He walked over and put the gun to my head.

"Tell me if he's ok." I demanded. He hesitated, then slowly walked to where Elijah was. He was back behind the tires and rail for a while.
"Umm." He sat down on a tire near by.
"What?" I sat up, worried.
"Well turns out,I shot him in the shoulder. He's in pretty bad shape, but he's alive." I smiled and cried,I thought he was dead.
"When's the ambulance coming?" Kass said.
"They should have been here by-" gun shots interrupted my sentence. The guy stood up and looked around,suddenly he was shot and he fell to the ground. I dragged my self to where Elijah was, I couldn't be out in the open.

"Elijah." I was about 3 feet away when I saw Elijah, he was laying on the ground holding his shirt on his shoulder.
"You got shot too?" He weakly said, looking at my foot.
"Yea, but not as bad as you." I lightly kissed him on the lips and hugged him.
"Honestly, I thought you were dead." I said.
"I thought I was too." He laughed.
"Don't worry, we'll get help."

There were more gun shots near the field on the right side of the road. I peeked through the rail and saw men in the field, they must be with those guys that kidnapped us. Maybe they didn't recognize Adam/Ryland. They kept on shooting, I wasn't even sure why they were fighting, I heard faint yelling.
"Take this you dumb ass Raptors!" A guy yelled then a gun shot.
"This is what you guys get, next time pay us!" Another gun shot. Pay them? Drugs? Guns? Who knows. All I care about is being safe and getting out of here. But, where's the ambulance? I looked down the road then looked the other way, flashing lights. The men must have shot the driver and everyone inside. I rushed with panic, Elijah needs medical supplies, and it's to far. I look at him, he lays still, eyes open staring at me.
"What?" I asked him. He didn't speak.
"Elijah-"
"Go see if you can help them." He muttered, he was cold. I didn't realize that it was chilly out, I'm sweating from crawling and running everywhere before I got shot. I grabbed what was left of my sweatshirt and gave it to him.
"I'll be right back."

"Alright, who wants pulled out first." I whispered.
"Me, well at least try." Bea whispered back. I grabbed her hands and pulled. She nudged, but then she tumbled out of the van and down the mini hill on the side of the road. "You ok?" I asked, it was kinda funny.
"Yeah. It just hurts to walk, but I can deal with it." She walked up and helped me pull out Kass. Ethan was the hardest. We weren't sure why, but it was harder to pull him out.
"Everyone ok?" I asked from the ground. They all nodded as they rubbed their knees. There was more yelling from the fields, how much more longer is this going to go on?
