The Huntress

Chapter 7

Ryan's P.O.V

I stared up at the ceiling. Well I guess it wasn't really a ceiling, it was a green tarp over Luna's camp. I wonder where she got that I thought to myself.

A cold breeze swept through and touched my bare face. My eyes closed and I huddled closer to myself to keep warm. This disgusting bear fur blanket Luna gave me wasn't helping.

My arms started to ache. I tried to stretch but the tight ropes that bound my arms and legs together restrained me from doing so. My back hurt also. This was a really old mattress I was lying on not my nice tempurpedic one I have at home. I could feel the probably rusty metal springs.

I brought my hands up to where I could see them and tried to slide my hands out of the rope. As I was doing this I felt a hot breath on the right side of my neck. Next thing I know I could feel the sharp cool side of a blade at my throat. "Next time you try i'll do this for real." The blade moved from my neck to the front of my face where I could see it.

I could see myself in it and my kidnapper behind me. We made eye contact then as quickly as she came she left. When I turned around I saw that she was back on her mattress with her back to me. That wasn't the first time she'd caught me trying to break free. Its like she never sleeps. It seems like she is always up listening to everything around her.

Luna I thought, what has happened to you. With that thought my eyes slowly started to close until I saw nothing.

Luna's P.O.V

This boy was pissing me off. Is he really that stupid? Does he not understand what I am telling him and what my actions mean? If that was the case then he'd be dead by now if someone else had him.

When I held my blade up to his throat I can imagine some of the poor innocent animals I have killed using the technique. I'm almost about to do it but when I see his face through my blade I see I terrified boy. So I move my blade from his neck and go back to bed.

When I go back to bed I can hear all the sounds around me. I can hear the owls hooting in the trees. I can hear the rustling of some animal walking around. I can even hear a small stream flowing on its natural course.

But what I hear the loudest is Ryan's snore. It almost makes it harder for me to hear all the other noises. When he stops snoring thats when I know he's up to something. Then very faintly i'll hear his breaths of pain trying to slide the ropes off. Thats when I have to get up and tell him to stop.

Soon it starts to rain. Its hitting the tarp above me and sliding of the side. I get up and grab 3 canteens. I put them under the waterfalls of water coming from the tarp. I'll need some more water now that I have an extra camper. Hehe camper I thought to myself if only that were true. I went back to bed and lied down on my back. I closed my eyes and let the sound of the rain dull out all the other noises.

**********************************************

I woke up to the sound of fast water running down. I sat up and looked around. My eyes rested on Ryans bed and he was not there. Crap,crap,crap,CRAP! I thought to myself I knew this would happen. Oh well he won't survive on his own for long. I'll probably find him if I go after him.

The fast moving water snapped me out of what I was thinking. Where was that coming from. I looked around until I saw a tree about 20 feet away. I could hear the water coming from there. I started walking towards the tree.

All of a sudden the water suddenly stopped. I stopped too. Then I heard a zipper. Ryan came walking from behind the tree. He stopped when he saw me.

I saw his cheeks turn a bright red. I could also feel heat running up through my cheeks as well. There was an awkward silence until Ryan said " Oh umm..... i'm sorry I didn't ummm..... I really had to go so.... I went to the bathroom behind this tree." He said that last part really fast I almost didn't catch that. " Oh sorry that was my fault uh I should have told you where you can go but uh right there is ok." He nodded and we walked back to camp.

Ryan sat back down his matress while I started a fire and put some meat on it. Then I grabbed my baguette and broke 2 peices of. "Here you go." Isaid to Ryan as I handed him a peice. He took it and started to nibble on it. I did the same.

Once the meat was done I handed to him and he took it without hesitation. When I was done I went to grab the canteens. I took a sip from one of them. Mmmmmm rain water. I handed a canteen to Ryan and put the others away.

What am I going to do today? I thought to myself. I had no idea. I watched Ryan eat while I decided. Today I wanted to get to know Ryan a little bit more. "Today I decided that I would like to get to know you a little bit more." I declared. "And you'll tell me a bit about yourself so I get to know a little bit more about you?" He asked me. I mused over this. "I'll think about it."

"Ok so what do you want to know?" "Hmm.. how many people are in you family?" I asked. "Let's see there me, my mom, my dad, and my little sister." "Cool soo.." I didn't know what else to ask him.

"Hows my life? My life is terrible! My dad thinks theres something wrong with me, my mom doesn't do anything with me, I have no real friends, everyone likes me, i'm failing in school.." He paused to catch his breath because he was talking so fast. "And thats all because of money."

I froze did I hear him right? "What was that last part?" I asked him. He looked confused. "I said and thats all because of money." I did hear him right. Far away I heard the faintest sound of a siren and dogs barking.
