-Tyler's
PoV-
It was another
sleepless night for me, laying down, listening to muffled
screams and cries.
Sometimes I
hated living in the woods. Everyone living here and in the town
nearby knows of Andrea Myers, a girl who was kidnapped in the
forest.
They all say
she died, that there was no chance she would still be alive.
But I know better, that no one actually wants to believe
she's still alive.
I'd been
counting the nights since the first night I heard her. Tonight,
was night 293.
I had enough.
I had to know who was in the woods, whatever would've come
to me.
I tip-toed out
of bed, sneaking into my parents' bedroom. Thank god they
were both on a business trip this week.
I took a
camouflage suit from my dad's closet, from when he was in
the army.
I put it on.
It was slightly big for me, but it fit.
I went
downstairs, and put on a pair of leather shoes.
I quickly
opened the door, and shut it.
It was in the
middle of the night. The moon was blocked off by tall trees,
some over a hundred years old.
I walked down
the trail, even for me, it was kind of creepy.
As I kept
going, the screams were getting closer, and
closer.
But I also
realized, there was someone else talking. I hid behind a bush,
and took in as much as I could.
"You -
not to whine - can - punish tonight..." I quickly looked
up, and what I saw shocked me.
A beat up
teenage girl, wearing nothing but torn shreds of worn out
cloth.
Her hair was
disheveled, eyes bloodshot from tears. Bruises and cuts
everywhere.
In front of
her was a bulky man, bald and covered in tattoos. He had a
guns, ropes, knives, and even explosives.
Just the sight
of that made me want to take that man's weapons, kill him,
and save that poor girl.
But before I
could do any of that, I would get killed myself.
I would have
to think all of that through.
But while I
was lost in my thoughts, I failed to notice, that Andrea
noticed me.
