Gangs

Chapter five

He takes my hand, and we keep walking, He places a camera at 20 miles in then we find a spot to sleep next to the lake. It’s too dark to see it though. Atoms arms wrap around me and I start to drift off. Before I fall asleep, I push up

what?

You get some sleep first

No, i'm not going to sleep tonight

Atom please

No, it’s too dangerous

Trust me

I do but I do not trust that I can get up fast enough to stop you from being shot.

I will not leave your side until you are wake and I will wake u up if I hear a noise.

Okay Lina

            He grabs my hand and lays down, his eyes slowing close and I move back against the tree. God damn he is cute when he sleeps. I look up at the stars. My family and I would hike up to a lake and sleep under the stars together. Always I feared sleeping outside but my mom always assured me we will be safe. She said to look up, all those bright shining stars are looking over us tonight, they won't let anything happen to us.

Get up quietly or I shoot him

“okay” I slowly stand up; the guy pushes me into the tree and pats me down. He laughs quietly.

sorry if I grab something, I cannot see

            He grabs my ass then runs his hand up my side and grabs my boobs. Atoms wake up now please. I swing my elbow back into him, but he catches my arm and swings me into someone else who covers my mouth. The other guy stands in front of me, he runs his finger down my chest.

Damn you are pretty, you must be bad to have Atom. How about you give me a little show sweetheart?

Atom come on. I wrap my arms around the dude’s neck, the other guy lets go of me and steps bad. Guy, I have my arms on reaches down and grabs my ass. I kick Atoms hand, barely able to reach it. Atom grabs my ankle and pulls me down to the ground. He gets up and flips the other guy. I kick the guy that was holding my ass and he falls next time then moves on top me. He holds my wrists above his head with one hand and a gun to my head with another hand.

Give me a reason Atom

Let her go Zack

You see how pretty this b***h is?

Leave her alone, Zack

He leans his head down level with mine, I push the gun up and he pulls the trigger at the same second. I roll over and Atom lifts me up into his arm. The other dude is dead on the ground. I killed him, oh my god.

Lina, you did not kill him, He pulled the trigger

I push the gun into his head

But he pulled the trigger not you

Okay

Did he touch you

He was holding onto me

Not what I mean, did he touch you

I nod, he pulls me closer into him and rubs my back. Then he picks up the backpack and we start walking. I can't see where we are, but he seems to be confident. My eyes start to droop as sun come up.

We are 25 miles in right now 

And?

This is the farthest we were instructed to go on our own

And?

Let’s go back, there’s a lot up here. Thats where we meet Brandon and JT.

Then walk back

No, we drive back

On?

You ever drive a motorcycle?

YA

Good

            We walk into a large clearing with 4 motorcycles, Jt and Brandon are on their knees people holding guns to their heads. Someone looks up at us when we walk into to opening, Atom steps ahead of me a little but, not noticeably.

Glad you two could join us

Stay next to me Lina

Okay

“I've never seen a chick on one of these jobs, too dangerous” He’s standing right in front of us now. “young too” He steps around Atom to me and looks in my eyes “You’re Brandon’s sister” I nod “It’s unfortunate I have to kill you” Awesome, who’s gonna start something? Atom looking at Brandon and Jt. Brandon flips someone overtakes the gun and shoots both people holding guns at them. Atom punches someone next to us and the guy in front of me whips me around onto the ground.  I flip up and knee him in the gut, he swings at me. I duck catch his wrist and flip him onto the ground. He kicks my foot out and I fall on top of him. He punches my stomach and I roll over wincing. he rolls on top of me, I knew him in the gut then pull myself up.

Shit

Hurt?

            I punch him then hit him with the back of a gun knocking him out. I hear a gun go off and drop last second, it barely scrapes the top of my head. Blood runs down the side of my face, wow I suck. Someone tries to kick me; I drop then spin and kick out his leg. He flips up and slaps me, I fall to the ground on my already broken ribs and scream from the pain. The dude grabs my hair and rips me up off the ground. I jump up and snap his neck, the snap shocks me. I step back, I did not even realize what I did. Someone rips me around; I grab his arm and break it the flip him around and knock him out. Atom? where is he? I look around the clearing and do not see him fighting. Jt pulls me back missing a knife. I nod thanks to him.

Atom and Brandon are in the trees fighting

Ok

Watch out for stray bullets

            I nod and catch someone’s fist from hitting JT, he nods at me and goes back to fighting. Another guy comes at me, he is more muscular I notice. he swings at me; I duck and before I catch his fist, he punches me in the gut. I scream in pain and drop to my knees. He yanks me up and slams me into a tree strangling me. I elbow his arm and break it, he punches, and I duck so he hits the tree. I spin around and bang his head into the tree. He looks unfazed by it and throws me back; I roll a couple times. We are hidden in the trees, no one is gonna see us. He kicks me in the gut throwing me back into the clearing. Atoms back out fighting, I do not see Jt now. Brandon’s on the opposite side. I kick his feet out and roll missing him. Then I jump up and back away, He swings, I catch his fist and throw him back. Someone grabs me from behind and the muscular guy punches me in the gut again. I scream and the guy throws me to the ground. Atom shoots one in the head then drops the empty gun and starts fighting the muscular guy. He snaps his neck easily then pulls me up into his arms. Brandon signals for us to just get outta here. Atom throws me onto a motorcycle, and we leave right after JT and Brandon Leave. I follow Atom, trying to drive and hold my stomach, it hurts so badly. The roads are rocky and it’s hard to dodge them, there is also a cliff to one side. We catch up to them waiting for us, soon as they see us, they take off. Atom stops on the side and I stop next to him.

C’mon

            I slide off and drop to the ground he gets off and picks me up and puts me in front of him. Then he takes off full speed, I slide under his arm and sit behind him so I can lay my head on his back. I feel really dizzy now and drift in and outta sleep… I wake up in the truck My head on Brandon’s lap, Atoms driving and Jt is bleeding bad. I blackout when we pull in… groggily I wake up in bed with Shelby sitting next to me.
