Betrayed

Chapter 1

Run, Faster, Run, Don't let them take you alive, Run or Die. I push myself harder, my legs feel like jelly but I'm not going to let that slow me down they could be hours behind me or minutes and I will not take a chance on them catching up. So I'll keep moving, at least until night fall then I think there should be a safe hideaway were I can get a couple of hours of sleep.  

A waterfall gushes in the distance as I make my way though the last of the trees and out into a clearing with a river on the other side. I ran over and drank like a dog sticking my face in and drinking my fill. Don't judge if you had been running all day non stop you'd be thirsty too. With my face in the water and the water fall roaring in my ears, I guess its no wonder that I didn't hear the footsteps until they where almost on top of me.

  Zing, I felt the bullet whiz past my ear jerking around I see the men that have been
chasing me for nearly two weeks, my shoes slip on the muddy banks as I scramble to the other side as fast as I can.  The bullets rain around me as I run into the woods but my legs are shaking, unsteady and this men ride a truck when they fall too far behind. I'm going as fast as I can, the men are in hot pursuit when I run into something at head level and flip almost in half as I hit the forest floor. I taste copper. Ropes thighten around me burning my skin, I trimble
in pain as my exhausted body desperately jerks away from the burn of the wet, rough cords and I try to get free.

 My vision gets more blurry with every second that passes. Though the haze a man in uniform comes and stands over me, he speaks to someone I can't see. I'm trying to make out what he's saying and stay conscious at the same time, but I can't make it out. Some one says something to him causing the man to glance down. I can't help but feel as if I've seen him before, but I'm in so much pain I can't even think. Suddenly the man rears back his leg and the last thing I see is his steel toe boot coming full force at my face.
