"we have to go, and we have to go now. before he leaves his room."
as zach quickly untied corbyn, he could feel the boy shaking. once corbyn was free, zach moved onto jack.
as zach fiddled with jack's ropes, corbyn spoke up.
"remember, follow jack, stick together, and don't ditch into the woods to hide; we'll get out of here - i promise." zach glanced over at the faux blonde.
"yeah, last time someone made a promise to me, they didn't go through with it." corbyn's heart pick up.
"alright then." once jack was free, he immediately rolled his wrists and ankles, standing up.
"alright, now be quiet." jack quietly lead the other two down the hall. once they reached the kitchen, corbyn stood with the lock.
zach frantically searched around on the floor for the paper.
"zach?" someone calls, footsteps nearing the kitchen. zach cusses under his breath.
he grabs a small paper, flipping it over.
"zach? where the fuck are you bitches?"
"3494!" zach screams, watching corbyn frantically type the numbers in. the door clicks and jack throws it open.
"fucking run!" zach screams, following corbyn and jack out the door.
jack was the fastest; he lead the two quickly down a dirt road. zach ran as fast as he possibly could, adrenaline dripping off of him.
"get the fuck back here!" someone screams, footsteps echoing from behind them. it was nearing night; the sky was getting dim.
"someone help us! please!" corbyn screams, following jack around a turn. zach follows close behind, gasping for air.
he quickly glances behind, seeing daniel in full sprint, a object in his hand.
"fuck!" zach screams, turning back to face jack and corbyn, taking longer strides.
"someone help!" jack screams, his voice crisp and dry from running. zach wasn't sure how far they had ran, but he hoped it was far away from daniel's house.
suddenly, zach feels his palm and knees sting as he forcefully hits the ground. zach screams in pain as someone pins themselves on the small of his back.
corbyn comes to a stop, quickly glancing back at zach who was pinned against the ground. he panics.
follow jack to safety or help the boy who got them free in the first place?
zach screams in pain as daniel yanks him backwards by his hair. corbyn takes in a sharp breath before turning back around, following jack down the road.
zach screams, thrashing in daniel's grip.
"you thought you could escape me, zachary?" daniel asks, pulling zach's wrists on to the small of his back. zach hears a click.
handcuffs.
"i know i can escape you, daniel. don't get your big boy panties in a knot."
"don't make your punishment worse than it already is." daniel chuckles, pulling zach off the ground, glancing upwards at the road.
corbyn and jack are out of sight. it was only a matter of time until daniel would be found, and oh, does zach hope it's soon.
