'Where is Hawk?' she asked hidden behind the door.
'I don't know, mistress. One moment he was there and the other he was gone! Like a ghost ye see!' the man grumbled clutching his hat with white-knuckled force. A thin shin of sweat covered his skin and droplets of salty water ran down his spine.
The woman sighed deeply, a sound that conveyed her annoyance as well as her igniting anger.
'If we can't keep an eye on him, he will grab the girl right between our fingers. We don't have enough time in our hands to waste on chasing our tails. Find him and make sure he follows the wrong trail.' she snapped and shut the door to the man's scared face.
---------------------------I scraped the dirt with my finger. I pulled the mess with my index and rolled it around and around. I laid on the floor, on top of a spread blanket; the sound of fire cracking filled the air and the smell of wet wood burning filled my nose.
Wyatt was by the fire playing with a stick, turning the coals. We found refuge in an old home and after walking so many hours I was glad for the dingy place.
The downside was that I had no idea where I was. I was so tired and I was hungry. My lips had chafed and my mouth was dry and it felt as though my entire body had drained from life.
Everything just hurt.
I had no idea how to survive all of this and a part of me just didn't want to. Maybe that was just another reason why I let Wyatt kidnap me and force the wrath of the Colonel on us.
Everything just started spiralling out of control and there was no end in sight. Something had to be done to end this farce.
A/n: Sooooo.... This is the end of part one. Hope you've enjoyed it, I know its been cut off wayyy too soon, but be patient.... Its been a wonderful year of creating and writing so I really want to focus on the second part. I have had sommeeee reservations in continuing to be truthful. I might even edit it again to fit my writing style more.
Will see. So far so good!!! For this part, I am closing on the bad things but I hope to keep you intrigued enough for the second part of the story!!
See you soon!!!! (I hope...)
