The wanted

Chapter 1 (Gazelle2000) :

I remember waking up...

I could feel heat beside me. And there was light. A fire, most likely. I opened my eyes, seeing a low fire burning in a barrel to my left, and confirming my suspicions. Vaguely, I noticed that the ground was a little too far away. I was waaaayyy too high up, and I began to struggle, my blonde hair flying into my face, and then there was a sharp pain in my wrists. Oh, crap. I was hanging by my wrists. As soon as I realized that, my hands and arms began to throb painfully. My shoulders were going to pull away from my body any second now.Then, I heard a slight moaning noise to my right. I quickly forgot about the pain and looked over.

A girl with black hair was laying in the dirt maybe three feet away from me, her hands bound the same as mine, only, she wasn't hanging up. Slowly, she rose to a sitting position, "Ugghhh..." she sighed, and then tried to move. A look of shock passed over her face when her hands didn't move. "What the-" she struggled a bit, and then noticed me, becoming immediately wary of me. "Who the heck are you?" She asked.

Then, I tried to speak, but was stopped by the disgusting gag in my mouth. She must've thought I knew about it, because she just said, " Oh right...sorry." She looked around, and I thought I heard her mutter, "Where is it..." but I couldn't have been sure. Then, out of nowhere, her bindings were cut. Quickly, she hurried over to me and cut me down without hesitation. As soon as I hit the ground, I ripped the gag from my mouth. She looked around, "We need to get out of here." She sounded nervous, and on edge.

I rolled my eyes, even though this wasn't the time for sarcasm, "No, you think? 'Coz I wanted to stick around for dessert."

She flashed a look at me, an annoyed look that said she was none too pleased with my humor. "Just follow me." She sighed, and walked briskly towards the trees. I figured that there was no point in NOT following her, so I did. Then, as soon as we were two feet into the thickened, we heard voices. We both fell to the ground and attempted (successfully, I might add) silence. I slid a little closer to hear..

"Man Bobby is in for a shock when his wife gets home."

The blonde one laughed, "Yeah, I wouldn't want to be- What the-?!" He turned to his friend, "Where'd the girls go?!"

They seemed panicked, and ran from the site calling, "GUYS!!"

The girl stood,"Let's get out of here!"

And we ran.
