6 'Almost there'

"C'mon" Ava grunted as she dragged Paige's body towards the lights of their community at the top of the hill, "Paige!" she cried as she fell back and breathed heavily.

She knelled beside her and held her face in her hands, "Paige! Hey! Don't give up, you piece of shit!" she yelled and received a slight groan from her as she sighed in relief before hooking one arm under her legs and her other under her neck as she lifted her up.

She let out a cry but pushed past the pain and continued her journey to the top of the hill.

One hour ago...

"How much further..." Ava groaned as Paige chuckled at her pain.

"We should be there in half an hour, I'm positive we can get there soon" she smiled.

"Wait" Ava stopped, "You hear that?" she asks as the two of them exchange looks.

"A car?" Paige looked around as they saw a car in the centre of the road directly behind them.

"Oh. Those guys" Ava groaned when she saw the car and recognized it immediately.

"Who guys?" A panicked Paige asked.

Ava ignored her and picked her up, throwing her on her back as Paige wrapped her legs around her waist and Ava ran with her through the forest just as the car sped up and came after them.

"It's the guys I saved Ed from; I did some... damage" she told Paige.

"Yeah, figures" Paige muttered as they kept hearing the sounds of the Car zooming towards them.

"Come here ya little bitch!" one of them yelled as a multiple gunshots were fired their way; Ava tripped and fell to the ground.

She gasped but scrambled to her feet going to Paige who was on the flood holding the side of her stomach, "What happened?" Ava lifted up her shirt and saw a bullet hole, "Fuck" she muttered and took of her shirt leaving her in a sport bra as she used it to stop the bleeding.

The sounds of the car engine disappeared; they were gone. "Hold on Paige" she whispered and lifted her up in her arms as she began to run into the direction they were heading to before.

"I... they shot..." Paige gasped.

"I know. Just hold on" Ava shushed her as she finally saw the light of the community at the top of the hill. She let out a sigh of relief but knew it was going to take forever.

"Hold on, Paige!" she told her and began to run up the hill, "You're not have a great day" she muttered, grunting and groaning all the way until she fell to her knees and ignored the pains at the bottom of her feet.

She hooked her arms under Paige's and dragged her up the hill. "C'mon" Ava grunted as she dragged Paige's body towards the lights of their community at the top of the hill, "Paige!" she cried as she fell back and breathed heavily.

She knelled beside her and held her face in her hands, "Paige! Hey! Don't give up, you piece of shit!" she yelled and received a slight groan from her as she sighed in relief before hooking one arm under her legs and her other under her neck and lifted her up.

She let out a cry but pushed past the pain and continued her journey to the top of the hill. "HEY! EDWARD! JUSTIN! OPEN THE GATE!" she screamed and pushed herself to the limit as she ran to the gate.

It opened and she stumbled inside with people crowing around her, "Paige was shot" she gasped.

Edward ran to the crowd and pushed past people just as Ava ran inside and passed Paige to Justin, he ran to the infirmary and Ed saw she was about to collapse, he lunged forward and caught her in his arms.
