Chapter 13

Harry didn't know what to do, Jason fought with the assailant who seemed to be of the same size and skill in fighting. Punches were thrown and met on both sides. They both fell to the ground and it appeared to be more of a wrestling match at one point. It was so dark and foggy Harry couldn't see who was winning.

"Harry run!" Jason shouted but Harry was fixed to the spot, she didn't want to leave Jason, but she was terrified at the same time. She looked for a way to help Jason, she grabbed the rolling pin that Jason had dropped and held it high trying to find a way to knock the assailant out, but the moved so fast, Jason was the first to scramble to his feet. "For fuck sake Harry run!" Jason glared at Harry and in that second Jason lost his advantage and from nowhere he was knocked on the back of the head with a heavy branch, "Noooo!" Harry screamed and now she decided to run.

Harry had no idea where she was going to run, for a second she considered the house and locking the door, but the door wasn't exactly strong, and windows could easily be kicked in. She opted for the woods and hills around her, knowing that this was the perfect scene for every horror movie she had ever watched. Whatever and wherever she decided to go, she knew it wasn't going to end well. If she could just hide until at least daylight then she could circle back to Jason, Harry kept praying and praying as she ran 'don't let him be dead'.

Harry could hear the heavy thunder of footsteps racing after her, Harry was whacked in the face several times by low branches, each one stinging her. Her breathing was heavy and her chest hurt, she wasn't built for running, the last time she ran was for the bus and that wasn't exactly a marathon. Harry had no idea of the direction she was going in, knowing that she couldn't run for much longer despite her fear and the adrenaline racing through her, she found what looked like a cut out in the mountain. It was a dark recess in the rocks she scrambled her way in and crouched down behind a large boulder. Harry felt as if her chest would explode. She could hear the moving of small rocks near her, she tried to slow her breathing down and placed a hand over her mouth stifling any scream that might try to escape. Whoever it was, was close, she could hear him scrambling round the rocks, "Harry, look ... come out, I'm not here to hurt you, I am here to save you."

Harry's eyes widened, well there was no doubt now, this was all about her, and it definitely wasn't Jason's voice.

"Harry you know me, I love you and you're making this much harder than it needs to be." His voice was deep and breathless, there was almost a desperate whine to it.

Harry remained silent, she had no idea who it was, she didn't recognise the voice or anything, she also didn't believe that he wasn't going to hurt her.

"Harry I will wait here all night, I've waited this long, there's no way I am leaving without you. If only you knew how much I love you."

Harry pressed her back against the wall of the small cave even further as if trying to become one with the rock, which was impossible. Harry didn't know what to do, should she make a run for it and take her chance or sit and wait? Going by the size of him earlier there's no way she could take him down by herself, note to self, take up some self-defence classes in the future, if I have a future.

"Harry!" It was a scream of desperation and that voice she did recognise, Jason. Harry caught herself breathing a sigh of relief and without even thinking and forgetting the evil that she faced outside. Harry screamed back, "Jason!" Harry scrambled out, she looked nervously around it was so pitch black and the fog was still thick. Harry frantically fished about in her coat pocket for her phone, she won't have signal but she could use the torch. Pressing the digits and swiping through she finally found the light app, "Harry!" Jason yelled again it was in the distance but there was no way to tell where or how far he was from her.
