Hope is Dead

Chapter twenty three

Jonathan got up from the floor hearing the door open and saw the guy open it, Jon stood there staring at him as the man's eye's gestured down to the plate of food, he then looked to the side ''You'll starve if you don't eat.'' he said and looked over at Jon who was still looking at him ''I ain't eating.'' the guy rolled his eye's ''You'd rather starve to death then live another day?'' Jon nodded and the guy sighed leaning down, he grabbed the plate and locked the door behind him, Jon turned having the knife still and jammed it under the  window seal knowing this window could open, he wiggled it into the crack more until he herd a pop and pulled the knife down lifting the window up a bit.

He smiled and put his hand under taking the knife out and lifted the window up he put one leg outside the window and looked down seeing the guy leaving the house, he brought his leg back inside and shut the window having a option now, he limped over to the end table and hid the knife inside the first drawer seeing a note, he pulled it out and shut the drawer unfolding it and read it.

'To the person who finds this, if you woke up here, get out, these people are disgusting and just horrible, the window's are sealed shut with some sort of glue, I wish you luck on finding a way out of this hell whole. My name is Jeffery Oden, if you're one of the one's who kept me here, fuck you.'

Jon's eye's widened ''Jeffery Oden?'' he looked over at the calendar hanging on his wall and limped over to it taking it down and went back two months seeing his suspicion was right ''Kidnappers.'' he said remembering the man's name from the news, he dropped the calendar being spooked by someone knocked at the door ''I herd you didn't eat what Mama made.'' Jon remembered his voice, it was the guy who hit him on the back of the head with something, Jon gulped getting scared ''Mama is sad about that.'' Jon backed away limping until he hit the wall ''I brought you more food, don't make Mama and Father mad.'' the guy said and left after sliding another plate of food under.

Jon shook his head hating this, he limped over to the window and looked down seeing the guy was still out there, he looked up seeing the sun was going down, he sat down and watched as the sun lowered behind some hill's in the distance that were covered in tree's, he could see the train tracks and thought that to be the best way to get away from them, he had no idea where he was or where he was meaning to go but knew he needed to get out. When it was dark enough Jon got up again and saw the guy leaving his place coming inside the house, Jon didn't waist any time on opening the window and climbing out onto the small roof that was there. 

Jonathan hopped he went inside, he shut the window and slid to the edge looking over seeing a pile of wood stacked nearby, he used that to get down, he hoped off the wood and fell to the ground with a thud and looked back seeing the wood rolling over ''Shit.'' he pushed up and ran towards a shed nearby and looked back seeing the guy come outside, he shut the door hopping he wasn't seen, he covered his mouth and nose smelling something horrid. He tried his best to see around him and could see something hanging so he reached up and pulled the beaded string, right before it burnt out he backed away covering his mouth seeing a body hanging in the shed, the lower half of him gone along with his head.

The door opened behind Jon as he hit it and he fell back backing away from it, he was then grabbed by the arm and pulled to his feet ''How the fuck did you get out of your room?'' it was the guy, Jon kicked his knee in getting his arm free and he stumbled a bit but got his balance and looked back seeing him grab an axe getting up again ''Just couldn't wait could you?'' Jon knew getting saved was to good to be true, he looked to the side hearing a train and saw it passing by giving him a hint as to where he was, he saw the same front like the one back by the crash, Jon then looked at him knowing that if he followed those tracks he'd get somewhere.

He looked behind him and saw zombie's approaching from behind, the guy couldn't hear them though, his heart probably being in his ears, Jon saw one grab him while another wasn't that far, it ran towards him and jumped onto his back while the other ripped into his arm, Jon took this as his prime opportunity and ran as fast as he could with his leg towards the tracks seeing the train just passed by completely. He tried not to look back as he screamed and herd a shot gun go off behind him but he kept running feeling the pain in his leg but pushed past it.
