Help Me!

(A/N: So Some_Stories ended up being able to send me his character, so he's gonna be in this chapter, after all! But he won't be fully introduced for about 2-4 chapters... By his request.)

~Hannah's POV~

We had been wandering for about a day through the woods when we made it to a clearing in the midst of it.

We decided to take a break there to rest, because the sun was setting once again.

I took my sweatshirt out of my case, and set it on the ground as a pillow.

"I'm not tired," Nicole complained, sitting up to look at the stars.

"O-okay," I said, mid-yawn. I rolled over, and closed my eyes.

~Nicole's POV~

"HELP ME! PLEASE! HELP!" a voice echoed through the trees. I shook Hannah awake, my heart hammering in my chest.

"What?" she began as I cupped a hand over her mouth.

"Shh. Do you hear that?" I demanded, referring to the scream.

"HELP ME! AHH!" the voice shouted again. I looked at Hannah, her eyes widening.

I felt something wet on my hand.

"EWW! Hannah!" I released my hand from her mouth, as she fell over laughing. "Did you lick me?!" she nodded.

"Eww," I murmured, wiping my hand in the grass.

"I think it came from behind there," Hannah pointed to a thick maple tree about 10 yards away.

"Do you wanna go check?" I asked, as the sound of rustling leaves began.

"This is definitely creepy," Hannah acknowledged. "I wonder who that is..."

I picked myself up off the floor, and trudged over to the maple. I held my breath, and took a quick peek behind the tree.

But there was nothing there but a few fallen leaves.

~Adam's POV~

"Hey, Adam, do you know when Alesa's getting back from her job so I can ask her something?" Rene asked.

I sighed. If only she knew where Alesa really was...

"Um... You might wanna ask someone else. Alesa-"

"What happened to Alesa?" Rene interrupted.

"I, uh... we... she..." I stuttered.

"What?" Rene raised an eyebrow.

"She moved back to Washington... we're still together.... but she felt too overwhelmed being here..."

"WHAT? WHY?!" Rene's jaw was practically dropping.

"It's complicated..." I replied.

"But... but..." Rene stammered.

"There's nothing you can do, Rene. Move on," I told her calmly.

She rolled her eyes playfully, walking back to her room.

~Hannah's POV~

We wandered again aimlessly through the woods, trying to find some exit to get on with our new lives.

Nicole began humming songs quietly to herself as we walked. She softly sang to herself.

"Oh, won't you stay with me? 'Cause you're all I need. This ain't love, it's clear to see. But darling, stay with me.

Why am I so emotional? No, it's not a good look, gain some self-control. And deep down I know this never works, but can you lay with me so it doesn't hurt?

Oh won't you stay with me..." she chirped at a whisper as we went on.

{A/N: If you know this song, you get a hug. It's one of my favorites. (>•.•)>}

"Wow... you have a beautiful voice, Nikki," I smiled. She looked up from her gaze at the grassy floor.

"Nikki?"

"Yeah, it's a nickname. I can stop if you don't like it," I told her. She shook her head vigorously.

"No! I like it, believe me. It's just... I've never really been close enough with someone for them to give me a nickname, or even be my friend, at all, except for Missy," she frowned, looking back down at her sneakers.

What do I say to that?

"Well, I'm no Missy, but I'm here for ya," I replied with a grin. "By the way, do you have any clue where we are by now?"

Right as the words came out of my mouth, we arrived at a small gravel path. When we looked to see where it led, we saw a small house that was painted white, with dark, evergreen color shutters and a one door garage. A few shingles were falling off the roof, and the front porch was rotted, the screen door bent up and torn.

"Wow, what a nice place," I said sarcastically. "And the author's making us stay here." {A/N: What? No I'm not!*cough cough kidding cough cough* HANNAH! Stop breaking the fourth wall!}

Nicole shrugged. "I dunno about you, but I'm gonna keep-"

"Hey! Who's out there?" A fairly familiar voice called.

Was it...

(Author's Note: A cliffhanger? Yes, it was! Hehe. So the person screaming at the beginning was Some_Stories, if you didn't catch onto that.

This chappie is dedicated to the fabulous Stardust_Autumn, who got herself 3rd place in my 250 lions contest! Go check her page out! ;)

Oh, and the thing about Alesa was an excuse to have her out of the story, (for now *wink wink*) because it's hard to keep her in it. She just doesn't have a main part.

Anywho, another chapter soon!

Thanks for 2k reads at only 9 chapters, now 11!

And a HUGE thanks for 350 lions!

Baiii all my little lions!

Join da pride today!)
