Prom Night - E.G.D [COMPLETED]

Part Thirteen: Danielle's POV

I started to run into the woods, sometimes looking back to make sure he's still unconscious. But, of course he is. I hit him pretty damn hard and I'm pretty proud of myself. I've never stood up for myself, I never had to use self defense. It felt good. Not that I want to hurt people, but being able to find my strength in times like that after being scared, is an amazing feeling. Once I get a decent distance away, I start yelling for help "Help! Please!" I cry out, looking around the woods as I try to run. But my ankle hurts to much, I look down at it, seeing that it's starting to swell. I hope it's not a bad injury. Having to look down at it everyday and feel the pain, remembering this day...I don't. This is the first prom night I don't want to remember. Not this part. "Someone! Please help me!" I yell out, hoping someone can hear me but remembering I'm in the middle of the woods. No one can. And who knows how far from the dance hall I am.

I walk and walk for what feels like never ending. Sometimes I would stop and take a break because my ankle hurts so bad. But I just have to suck it up because I want back home. Even if I make it out of the woods, to some other area of the city. At this point, I don't care. As long as I get out of here and find someone to help me or a phone to call my family. I get up from a log after rubbing my ankle for a little bit. I see a bruise is forming on it too. I sigh softly, sniffling as I can't help but to have a little but of tears in my eyes. Sad but then happy ones. Sad that this all happened, that my night got ruined, that worse could've happened. But happy that I got away, so far at least.

"Hello? Can anyone hear me?!" I yell out, limping as I hear nothing but silence. I feel so lost. I feel like it'll be forever until I reach civilization again. I'm just scared. But I'm away from David and that's a good thing. But, what keeps running through my kind is what if he comes back? What will he do? He will probably find me and hurt me or kill me...what if he does? I have tears streaming down as my ankle hurts so bad, but I'm trying to keep walking. I hear leaves starting to crunch on one side of me, stopping quietly so I can hear better, making sure I'm not hearing things. I hear branches snap, my breathing picking up along with my heartbeat as I feel so scared. He's back...I think to myself. David became conscious again and he's coming back to get me. I look around, the walking coming closer. But, it's slow and quiet. A little heavy too. He's sneaking up on me. To take me by surprise I guess.

Ethan's POV: We continue to walk, yelling for Danielle. Stopping to listen to see if we can hear anything. But so far, we got nothing. I'm scared. What if I lost her? What if something happened? I hope not. She's my world. I know I'm young to be saying that. We are just eighteen but she's my life. I would do anything for her. "Danielle?!" I yell out softly, I stop, my posture has changed, slumped over and saddened. Crying out quietly as Grayson comes up behind me gently to pull me in a hug. "Listen, bro I know this is the last thing you want to hear right now. But, we will find her. Okay?" He says as I just shake my head, looking down. "You don't understand, Grayson..." I say, breaking away and starting to walk again. "You don't understand! What if we don't, huh?! You can't promise me nothing right now! Not until I see it to believe it." Grayson sighs softly, watching me walk away as he looks at our parents and Kelly softly. You can see the sadness in their eyes. They hate seeing me this way. Their mother is on the edge of another break down. She's starting to make herself believe that Danielle is missing. Truly missing.

Why? Why me? What did we ever do to deserve this? I ask myself. It was my fault...I should've at least went with her and stood in the hall. I could've prevented all of this. It's my fault.

Haley's POV: I scream out and quickly cover my mouth. Luckily, it was just a deer but it ran out when it saw me. I scared it and it scared me. I breathe heavily in relief as I just am so jumpy. Anything will scare me. I watch the deer run off, looking around after to just make sure it wasn't running from him.

Ethan's POV: We all quickly stop once we heard a scream, quickly looking around with wide eyes, I feel my heart beat pick up. My heart sinking to my stomach, not knowing what is going on. I speak quietly, "Danielle..."
