Tessa heard them, Tessa heard them loud and clear. Her eyes widened and her breath started to quicken again. This was not how she's wanted to spend her day. Squirming to her feet and sprinting off like a hare she wove through the brush and branches of the forest, until almost everything was a blur. They're gonna get me, and take me to wherever they work for is, or they'll do to me whatever they do to those kids that never come back. I need to run, run and run. Her feet crunched and flung the leaves underfoot in her rush. Anything to get away from her pursuers. In her fleeing she failed to notice a number of things in her path, jumping last minute over branches and logs, and stumbling over roots and small plants., until a root caught her foot and she fell onto the forest floor. Everything halted in her mind as she got up and felt to see if she'd hurt herself. The smell of blood filled her nose and her hands became covered with gloppy blood as she felt her face. Her nose was bleeding, not because she'd fallen but because she'd over exerted herself. Sitting down she wiped it on her sleeve. But when all was still and she took a breath, the distant trample of the other two began to resound loudly in her head. She couldn't sit and wait, it wasn't safe till she lost them. Whether she was hearing things or not, running was the best thing to do. But- they couldn't climb tree's could they. She could head in the same direction and stay up in the treetops, it was much safer. Getting to her feet and Hauling herself up the nearest tree trunk, she moved the branches so that she could see the way ahead. It'd slow her, but hopefully she'd move fast enough. Swinging, and climbing around from branch to branch she managed to get started again. And so with distant footsteps haunting her she moved desperately across the upper canopy of the forest. |
