Drawing Voices

Game of Chapter Twenty Eight

Dan's P.O.V

The man turned to me. "Just in time" He smirked making the sweat drip down his head and over his top, up-turned lip.

"Hurt them and I swear to god I will hurt you!" I panicked knowing the pacifist self that I am won't be able to do a thing.

"Then I will just have to do it to you too" The man smugly replied; fixing the top of the rope a little bit tighter.

I ran over to Lola to release her but then I felt a pair of hands wrap tightly around my neck. Struggling to breath. I tried my hardest to take one last gulp of air.

"DAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN! " Lola screamed giving me more courage to hold on.

I felt my veins pop out of my neck along with my eye balls which were feeling like they were becoming bigger.

I couldn't do it. I couldn't hold on any longer. I need oxygen.

I felt my weak eye lids shut and decided the only way he would release the pressure is to let myself go....

and play dead.

I naturally became floppy but I didn't care because at least it looked more believable. I dropped and fell to the floor, being extra careful not to take a deep breath of air because then he would realize I’m not dead.

"Dan! Dan! Dan! Come back." Lola cried. I could see in the corner of my eye that she was trying her very hardest to escape the tears flooding through her eyes, Making me wanting to cry with her,

"I love you Dan. Forget everything. I LOVE YOU!" Lola called as though it was the last ever time she was going to say something to me.

I opened more of my right eye and saw the man beginning to climb the tree. Obviously to do something with the rope. 

When I got the feeling that he was on top of the tree I opened my eye further. Looking around to try and find a pair of scissors or something to get them out from the duct tape.

I looked over towards the scrubs and there was his bag. Next to it was the roll of duct tape and a pair of scissors.

I turned my head and brought my weak finger to my lips indicated for them to be quiet. My energy levels still rather low. The look on their faces as they saw I was not in fact dead was so saddening to see. But i tried not to make a fuss.

I scrambled my hand towards the scissors and picked it up. 

With the majority of my energy gone. I used all my will power. If i don't survive then at least Lola can.

I got myself up. Blinked a few times just to put me in reality and I ran straight to Lola.

Very carefully i cut a slit in the tape just enough for her to release the rest of her body but before I had got the time to reach Ralph. The man had realized I was alive.
