Captured

Chloe

Sawyer and I looked as much through the car that was possible and all we managed to find was an unlock button without being seen. So good. We can get out if we jump and run but there is no hope at all for our phones. I guess I'm okay with that. It actually didn't take very long until we unlocked the door, opened it and made a leap for the outer world. No clue in the world how we managed to avoid the kidnapper's sight, but we did it, that's all that really matters to me.

It hurt a lot because when we jumped out we literally jumped right into the ditch of a really really rocky road and on top of it Sawyer almost jumped on me. I could feel the rocks rub up against my dress and onto my bare knees, causing cuts to form. Eh well it could be worse I guess, but I think we'd better start running away from the fast black car that just zoomed down the road. Assuming that's the car the kidnapper had been driving us in.

Sawyer wheezed out deep breaths from the adrenaline rush he'd experienced from us trying to escape, before speaking in an urgent and rather loud tone. "That was my car. My black Lamborghini. Luckily if we go to the cops we can report that to them so they know what to look for to track down the kidnapper. And based on the fact that we're along a gravel road right now I'd say we have quite a long walk."

I rolled my eyes at him before nodding my head. "Yeah, I think I could've figured out that bit in my sleep. So lets just go. We've gotten this far and I never thought we would, so the rest can't be too far off."

"Great spirit." Sawyer smirked before taking my hand and giving me a boost up to my feet. I thanked him quietly before adjusting my dress and rubbing off my dirt-caked knees. When I raised my hands they were red and bloody from my knees, so I'd assumed that I definitely needed to get my knees washed from infection and maybe bandaged up.

I frowned and showed Sawyer my palms where the blood was spread, and he looked at me in curiosity before frowning. "Let's go find some place to get you cleaned up. We don't want you to get an infection and then be in the hospital because of me."

I nodded and then we both began walking again, staying along the edge of the road, so if any cars came by they'd either see us and stop or obviously see us and keep driving. Hopefully, not be a crazy driver and hit us. That would be another great bonus. Though maybe if that kidnapper comes back I'd rather be hit by a car. Haaaaa...

Sawyer began whistling some song to himself that I'd never heard before and it was around the same point that we returned to civilization. It appeared that we were in a small town with literally maybe twenty homes, a bank, a small grocery store, a local post office, and a drugstore. It'd be nice to live in if you liked to get away from a ton of people. Seemed like something Sawyer would possibly like instead of being chased down the street by fans and paparazzi.

"You think maybe they have either a clinic or a motel around here?" Sawyer arched an eyebrow at me, ceasing his humming as we approached the back side of the grocery store. I laughed before shaking my head. There was no way. This town looked to hold fifty. That's at the highest even, so yeah right.

Sawyer and I spent probably two hours in the pitch black just walking back and forth down the streets of this small Minnesota town. There's gotta be someone up during the night that would take notice and help us out right? I mean I don't think a lot of people that don't exactly 'belong' here go through.

Well I guess our luck just happened to come after my leg started hurting more and I started limping down the streets instead of walking. There was a dark shadow that came out of a tall red house and fumbled with his trash can before walking over in our direction with quick steps.

The man spoke up softly and urgently to us in his Scottish? accent. "Hey! You guys are the ones that have been on the Amber Alerts right? The entire state wide area thinks that Sawyer kidnapped you," he gestured to me before continuing. "and that you're on the run. They think you're a crazy fan and then Sawyer took you and then you'd eventually head back to the boys once you had your way with her." The guy looked at our startled faces before laughing pretty loudly. "But based on the looks on your faces I take it that can't be true. I'm Asher Stone, come inside with my mate and I and we'll help you figure out what ever needs to be done."
