Chapter 2
I run through the woods, following the footsteps I had found a while back. “Alex!” I shout listening for an answer, but instead I just get the rhythm of my feet touching the ground. I stop after I hear a twig snap, “Who’s there?” I say in a light voice because I am startled at first, for an answer I get more branches snapping. I start to run as fast as I can away from the spot I was at. Just find Alex...... Just find Alex. I keep on thinking to myself, just to calm me down knowing that Alex could be hurt. I see a faint shadow in the corner of my eye, I try to run faster but end up tripping on an over grown tree root, I give a yelp of pain as I hit the ground. I look at my leg and foot, bruised but not injured. I think of how lucky I am that I didn’t break my foot during that fall. I get up and continue running. The pain in my leg and foot make me have to lie down and rest for the night, I find a little ditch that’s clean and sleep there. The next morning I wake up the branches snapping, footsteps, and little hums, I start to scream when I hear, “Hi!” It was Ryan. “Ryan!” I yell reaching out to grab her and hug her. “What are you doing here?” I ask her being cautious for no one to hear me, because I know the guy who had kidnapped Alex—wasn’t alone. “I followed you because I was worried about you!” Alex exclaims at me. “Alex keep your voice down….and what about mom? She will be worried! Good thing I have my phone though….” I reply to her. I get out my phone, dial in mom’s number and I send her text saying, “Mom, I went out to find Alex, he was kidnapped, Ryan is fine, she just followed my footsteps and found me, Love you. Celeste” I get up and go outside the ditch, I grab Ryan and pull her up the steep ledge leading into the ditch. “Did you bring anything with you besides your backpack?” I ask Ryan while trying to talk in a whisper, “Just extra clothes, chips, two sandwiches, and water.” I nod and we start walking, after a day of walking we finally stop, were about 80 miles from the house. “Are you hungry? Because I have a lot of long lasting foods….” I whisper as I pull out some chips and water. “Yes, I’m very hungry.” Ryan says as I hand her some chips. We dig into our food and when were done we rest in a small cave. “How did you know those foot-steps were mine?” I asked Ryan as I start to yawn. “Easy there were two foot-step trails leading the same way. And you always tell me if that you get lost in the woods with someone try and find their foot-steps and basically I figured that’s what you would do.” I laugh because she usually forgets what I tell her, “I can’t believe you remembered that! You usually forget those types of things!” We both start to laugh because it very true. As the sky gets darker Ryan and I start to doze off into a deep sleep.
