Alone

Krystal

Since the rain had lifted I decide to go and re-stock our food again. While I am out I notice a truck passing. I jump into a bush until it passes. I’m nearly at a*****e when someone falls out from behind a wall. I gaspe and realize it is John. I kneel down. He was still awake but wheezing.

“John?”

“I betrayed Terror.” He said. “And they started shooting me.”

He brakes into a fit of caughs. I feel pitty for him but staye cautious of my surroundings, this very well could be a trick. I’m about to help him up when something hits my leg. I fall down in pain. I look down to see blood staining my pants. John bolts up.

“Idiots.” He yells.

I jump up on my feet dispite the pain in my leg. I run away limping and decide to try and loose them in the streets. On the ground I see a piece of fabric and pick it up to tie on my leg to stop the blood from dripping down my leg and onto the street, so my position isn’t blown and I can’t be tracked.

“Go after her.” I hear behind me.

I run through the streets faster. It’s dark and hard to see but I can tell where I a,. My leg is killing me but I can’t stop running. I know I have to go find shelter soon. I am nearly at a place I could rest when I realized that someone was behind me. They start firering again.

“Stop.” They scream. Did they think I was stupid. Why on Earth would I stop because they tell me too, it’s like they think I have a death wish! Wish I don’t!

I’m about to run into a building when I fel my body jerk back and a hand clasped over my mouth. I try to thrash around and fight back but they won’t let go. I try screaming but it’s muffled by the strangers hand.

“Shut up.” A harsh voice whispered into my ear. “Your gonna get us caught .”

My eyes go wide with fear. Who is this person? I was terrified they were part of terror, but I realized he said I’d get us caught. If he is part of then why would he be scared of getting caught. The people looking for me eventually left and go back. I can hear John screaming about sticking to the plan and where’s…

I can’t here anything after that. What plan? I thought. And what’s he looking for? The stranger that was behind me eventually let’s go of me. I spin around to look at him, but immediately regretted it. My leg is now throbbing with pain. I look down at my pant leg and see it is soaked with blood. Even with the price of fabric. I collapse unable to hold my own weight.

The stranger catches me before I hit my head. I’m not thinking straight anymore. There is a lot of muffled noises, and I think they are saying I should stay awake but I just want to sleep. I see the figure look at me before the world goes dark again.

I wake up my leg still in pain. I tried sitting up but it is too much to handle. I fall back in my bed feeling useless.

“Your awake.” I look up and see Kathrine looking concerned. She then runs away. That was wired. I think. I close my eyes trying not to think of the pain, when I feel someone looking at it. I open my eyes to see a stranger looking at my leg. He must sense me looking because he stops and looks at me. My heart starts beating faster. Who is this. I wonder and why is he here.?

“How you feeling?” He asks.

“Sore.” I replied. “Who are you, exactly?”

“Forgive me. I should of told you that first. I am Dylan.” He replied to my question.

“Well I’m Krystal. And how exactly did you know where this place was?”

“This may sound creepy, but I’ve been watching you for sometime now. I’m surprised you’ve survived this long. But you do seem to know the streets better than anyone.” Dylan said sounding impressed.

I shrugged. How much does he know, and can I trust him,

“You should get some rest.” Dylan said.

I didn’t want to but I was feeling groggy, and it didn’t take long for me to fall asleep again.
