Lost in Leo

Eight - Part 2; Getting Chased by Ex-Convicts Not Really My Thing

"I'm so sorry Leonardo." I apologised to him and if looks could kill I'd be six feet under.

"Don't call me that." he exclaimed through gritted teeth.

Looking up at him, I was utterly confused and I didn't stop it from showing unto my face. When he realised I had no idea what he was talking about. He was about to open his mouth when suddenly the sound of screeching cars coming towards us shut him up immediately.

His whole demeanour turned ridged and tense and I knew something bad was going to happen. Before I could even react Leonardo pushed me but behind him so he could shield me from whoever were in the cars. The sudden act made me blush, it showed he cared about me even if it was only a little bit.

The sound of car doors opening caught my attention making me pear around Leonardo a little bit to see what was going on. I didn't even realise Vincent, Seth and Caleb were closer to us than before and were taking defensive stance.

Men who looked like ex-convicts came out of the car with different sized guns in their hands. This caused my breathing to come out in pants as I started to panic.

"Sky am gonna grab hold of your hands and when I count to three we're going to run." Leonardo whispered not looking at me directly.

"Run? That's so dumb why can't we just go back into the car?" I asked frantically.

Leo looked towards Vincent as if to ask permission if they could use his car to escape

"That's not an option, if the car gets scratched in the slightest bit which it will if we enter it. My parents will kill, that's my third car this month." Vincent shook his head "I rather run and I sort of need the exercise to be honest."

"Okay fair enough." Leo casually said like it wasn't a big deal that we were only left with the option to run on foot from creepy guys with guns. "Are you ready to run Skylar?"

I looked between all of them, this was insane, they were insane but I reluctantly nodded my head in response. Leonardo's big warm heads enveloped my small one in a rough manner as if he was getting ready to drag me around. I tried to ignore the warmth his hands made me feel and actually focus on our real problem.

Leonardo was communicating through his eye's to the boys. I'm guessing his telling them we should get ready to run but I can't be sure as I don't speak eye.

Wow sky only you will make a joke in a time like this.

"Get ready Sky. 1...2...3!" Leonardo screamed just for our ears to here and that's when we all ran.

That's what how I got into the situation of being practically pulled by Leonardo whilst scary man fired bullets in our direction as they chased us.

I ran as fast as my legs could carry me but I was starting to get tired. Suddenly, am being tugged by Leo to go into the woods and the only thought running to my mind was we were definitely going to die. And no one would hear our screams.

Looking behind me I could see them from behind the trees and they were slowly starting to gain up on where we were. We ended up stopping in front of a small lake with mud and litter scattered inside it. And to top it all off it reeked like cow dong.

Leonardo looked at me and I straight away knew what he had in mind which caused me to shake my head in panic.

"No you've got to be kidding me am not jumping in there, who knows what type of bacteria could be crawling inside that water and I also can't swim so no." I said as I pointed at the lake looking scared out of my mind.

"Its either that or you die. Pick one." Leonardo said giving me an impatient look.

Knowing what he said was right I got ready to jump but that didn't stop me from shivering with fear.
