Psychotic

Chapter 19

How many minutes passed as I just remained quite inside that bush? 10, 15?

Justin really risked everything by proposing me this game which is almost impossible for him to win.

I closed my eyes as I made myself more comfortable, the best i could.

Some minutes went by and the silence of the forest advertised me that nobody was around. I smiled slightly when the sound of footstep brushed it off my face.

The sound of the leaves crunching under what i guessed were Justin's supras made my breathing heavier.

They became louder and closer as the seconds went by.

I released all the tension i was accumulating by biting on my bottom lip harshly.

Crossing my fingers my prayers were listened and the sound of the shoes became slower and more quite each time.

I waited a few seconds to make sure that there was no sound closer to my position. Then i popped my head out of the bush i was hiding slowly.

No sign of Justin.

I quickly got up ready to run into the opposite direction from where i heard the footstep disappear.

Again it was just me and the density of the nature. My breath and strong footstep were the only sound noticeable by my ears.

Suddenly my foot got stuck in a small hole and my body jerked forward. I tried to evade the fall but it was imminent.

I groaned in pain holding my leg close to my body trying to erase the pain caused by the damn fall.

Again my ears perceived footstep sounds. I stood as fast as i could and I started to run although my leg was retaining me from doing so.

Realizing that my leg wasn't helping and that the pain just grew greater I stopped behind a really tall tree.

I breathed air harshly as i kept my hands pressing against my painful leg.

Some sweat drops started to roll down my forehead. I gazed at my surrounding trying to find a path to escape or the best way to leave.

Suddenly my eyes descried a light probably made by a lantern.

Keeping my eyes on the light I slowly turned around and started to sprint.

I passed many bushes and trees when finally i could see a road at the end of the way i was walking on.

I smiled as in a last try I started to accelerate my sprint into a slow run.

Almost free, almost.

Suddenly I felt two hands pulling me back and pressing me against one of the thousand trees that surrounded me.

My face collided slowly with the cold wood and I close my eyes as i recovered my normal breath.

"You thought that i was going to let you escape?" A cold yet victorious voice mocked in my ear.

My eyes went watery as I felt his warm breath colliding with the skin of the back of my neck.

"Lets go baby, we got lot of things to do!" He spat once again as a evil smirk played on his lips.

I stood there resting my hands on my knees.

He was going impatient and i could tell that by his facial expression. "Didn't you hear me? Move!" He said raising his voice, which echoed through the forest like the roar of a beast marking his territory.

"I cant... My knee hurts" I whispered slowly as I grabbed my hurt knee with both hands like if that could erase the pain.

For a second I looked up to him again and all I saw in his eyes were sorrow and compassion.

Two emotions that i thought he wasn't able to show.
