Chapter 19 - Chapter 18

The night felt long as she sat with her back against the door holding it close. Her stomach was full and being alone made her think of her family, she lost her mother and her brother was turning into someone she no longer knew.

She felt remorse towards Nicole who had been out here all alone, is there a possibility she is still alive, if she is she would be out there.

Angela had felt off to sleep with her back against the door. She woke up to a sudden bang, she had jumped up and open the door slightly the wind had picked up and it bad started thundering and rain pouring, lightening striking.

Angela felt scared the only thing keeping her warm was the fire had it not been for the fire she would have froze to death, she had went outside pickup her bark, and pushed it up against the door, with the stopper. "This should hold it close."

Angela through open the blanket and laid down on the floor, looking up at the roof, she opened Nicoles diary, reading through it she saw the Nicole had some dark secrets of her own, which made her to stop reading, just as she was about to close the diary, she saw a drawing to what appeared to be a map out of the woods, the waterfall she had passed was on that map if she continue on the trail she was, she could get out of this woods.

But how could Nicole have known this, and if she she draw this map that would mean she could still alive, Angela thought about it for a while and decided to risk it, she patiently waited for the sunrise and followed the trail of the map.

She walked for hours before finding a road which she then hitch hike the hot sun burned her skin, as she the hours went by, she then realized, what if the same person who had placed her here could pass again, "well, I survived a night out in the woods I survived a bear attack and wolves, what could he possibly do to me that could be worst." she then reached into her pocket and tightened her grip on the knife.

She heard to what sounded like a truck, she walked to the centre of the road waving her hands as the red truck came to a stop hesitantly she walked up to the window, she saw an older man mid sixties wearing a blue lakers cap. "Hello sir, thank you for stopping but I am lost."

"You know young lady, we don't usually get people on this road but it's now the second time I find someone on this road, is there anyone else out there." he said in a brisky voice.

"Second person, the first person is it a girl my age sir?"

The man nodded his head, " yes just a week ago, but she was in a terrible state her clothes were all ripped and she was bloody all over.l, anyway climb in."

Angela , not trusting gripped her knife hidden in the pocket as she climbed in she looked around, the truck looked like a dumb site how does anyone drive something like this. " she noticed a red hairband and the white lace of her other shoes, lying on the ground.

It could be that helped the girl or he could have made up that story, thats when she noticed scratches in he his and scratches to his neck.

"So young lady tell me about yourself, i mean you out here do you stay around here.?"

Angela remained silent for a moment, until he looked at her his thick bushy eyebrows raised suspiciously as his eyes trailed down her legs.

Angela reached into her right pocket removed the knife from her pocket and kept it close to ther thigh gripping it tightly.

"I am from around here, yes i just dont remember this road you might know my parent they with the FBI, my mom is working in the homicide division and dad his the best he in the higher devision."

Angela removed a tiny brown block from her pocket with a red light flickering.

"No i do not know anyone whose in fbi, and what is that thing young lady?" He said worriedly.

"Oh dont mind this, my parent had multiple of

These on the road its tracers the mind it stop moving it sends an alert signal to them and they here within 5 mins in i dont punch in the code."

"Code? These gadgets i will never understand, but if that gadget works why didn't you alert your parents you are out here?"

Angela smiled, " I was then I saw your truck."

The man smiled nervously, " So that girl you picked up last week where is she?"

"What girl?"

"The girl you spoke about last week you said you had met on this road?" the drivers hands became fidgety " I never picked up any girl last week."

"Sir, but you just said you picked up a girl last week?" The old man looked out of the window into the side window, " this black van has been following us since I picked you up, is that also the FBI? "

Angela looked out of the window, and saw the van, yes that's Robert and Curtus, my parents probably sent them to trail me again.

The man looked into his rearview mirror, Angela looked down and saw the red stains on his boots, "So do you stay around here Sir?"

He glanced at her " you ask a lot of questions young lady, you should drive with those guys following us Kurt and Jackson, Angelas eyes grew wide, "that's not the names she mentioned these people were following him because they were all together in on it."

The driver smirked, that thing you holding in your hands in just a flickering light by the way, "you can't remember who I am can you?" He placed his filthy hands on her naked thigh.

Angela took her knife and pointed it to him. "What did you do with Nicole?" He signaled his hand put of the window and slowed down.

Dont dare slowing down I will put this knife through you the man laughed, that's when Angela took the knife and stabbed it into the mans leg. He screamed as the truck swerved.

Angela grabbed hold of the steering wheel, "what have you done with Nicole." he started laughing loud "you won't get away with this young lady, we thought you wouldn't survive our there, but I told them put you out."

Angela pulled out the knife and stabbed it into the other leg " you bloody bitch you will pay for this",

"I asked you where she is?"

"Where who is your little friend, my boys took a good ride on her before putting her out, Angela felt a rage of anger as she pushed the blade into his thigh deeper and moving the blade around, " you will have to kill me if you want to make it alive"

"Stop the truck and move to the back."

"My boys will up to you, you know?"

Angela pulled out the blade stabbing it again into the same thigh. I said move to the back as the man pulled Angela stabbed the blade into his hands, as he screamed in pain.

"Don, t worry I won't kill you." The anger she had built up for her stepdad has came to this moment where she did not care anymore being that soft polite girl was no longer Angela.

"Who are you?"

He saw she had no remorse or emotion, as she turned and looked at him " I'm the beginning to your miserable end." he blood was all over the truck as ge crawled to the back told him to tie his feet.

Angela climbed into the driver seat, and as the van caught up to them Angela tool off the, the guys in the van leaned out of the window shooting at the truck; Angela had enough as she accelerated and drove into the van by swerving the back of the truck into the van, as the van lost control and swerved off the road.

The older man started to panic, his backup was gone and now it was only him and this crazy girl.

"Looks like your buddies are gone, it's time you tell me where is that girl who went missing?"

"What girl?" The old man played stupid, as Angela took the knife stabbing it multiple times into the mans legs, " you know what girl." fine I will talk just please stop he pleaded.

Angela looked up in the rearview mirror and smirked. "This is only the beginning."

Blood all over the front seat the old man grew pales, as he fighted to stay conscious but with the blood loose he was slowly fading away, Angela stopped the truck, and looked at him "This is your last chance to speak."

"Drive up ahead is a silver fence, you will her there."

The old man slowly closed his eyes as fell unconscious. Angela spilled water on his face and slapped him to stay awake. But he had lost to much blood.
