Chapter 5 - Why are we running anyway

Andrey

It was dark already and we've been running through the woods for hours,it's been really scary,especially the part when we had to run through the borders and risked getting caught.

I was already worn out from all the running plus I couldn't help but notice how tired Sofia was, man!! I stressed her out. We where just about to take another turn when she yelled.

Stop!!!, she yelled.

What's wrong,I asked in concern

Wh..why.are we running anyway?she said gasping for breath

Don't worry, I'll explain later

When!!!She asked annoyed.

Probably when we've passed out from lack of air or when we get attacked by "who knows what".

C'mon Drey, I deserve to know.

Seeing how worried she was I began to feel more

and worried and confused

But tried to mask it when I noticed her staring me in the eyes.

We had to leave,I said calmly.

I mean I just feel there's trouble ahead.

Trouble? She ask confused .

Oh c'mon I don't want her to think I'm crazy or something, I said to myself.

Uhh...If I told you, you wouldn't believe me.

What's going on, she asked insistently

Well I think she needs to know, Ares pointed out. Plus you'll keep her anxious if you don't tell her so....

Oh..I hate it when you're right. Anyway.

I keep having the dreams,..or visions about this place hidden in the forest.And the next thing there's an exact replica of me telling me to run,as far as I can.

Ok..., she drew out.

I can tell she's confused already,I said to myself.

See, now you think I'm crazy.

Noo!! I mean it's confusing but some how,I believe you, she said reassuringly

You do??, I asked

Yeah,kinda,..I mean you wouldn't have dragged me out of the pack house for nothing so..

Yeah..that works,I said in relief.oh.. that's better.

So what do we do now? She asked.

We'll just have to wait I guess.....

Sofia

We lit a fire and sat beside it huddled up for warmth,I just can't help but feel sorry for Drey, he seems to be going through a lot lately,plus he's a great guy.

While staring into the flames there was an awkward silence between us,no one said a word, he must be deep in thought,gosh!!.

We went silent for a couple of minutes before.....

"Twig snaps"

What's that?

I don't know but stay close, something's in the bushes,he said

Don't worry ,I got you,He assures me with a slight tone aid bravery.

As the sound gets closer and closer we were already in a fighting stance,prepared for whatever would charge at us.But to our uttermost surprise,it was a squirrel.

I was about to laugh at the look on Drey's face when we were hit with a blast of smoke,and it burns.

I looked around for Drey and spotted him lying on the ground,I run over to him and hold him shortly before I pass out....
