I felt someone furiously shake me up .
" Ryan ? "- I whispered .
" Yeah , Thank the Almighty you are still alive ! " - he responded .
" I ... " - I was cut short .
" Don't worry , we are out of the house now but it's just that we were in a cabin in the middle of nowhere so it would be hard to find early help
"- he said as he picked up the pace ." But where are we going to find help ? "- I whispered .
" That's - erm - funny thing , I kind of didn't think about that , "- he replied with a slight chuckle .
I relaxed in his arms as I started seeing black dots again .
" Don't close your eyes Scarlet , you need your sight - well to run away from this place at least . "- he said as he started breathing heavily .
He came to a sudden halt as he stopped to catch his breath .
" Scarlet , I'm afraid you have to continue from here "- he urged as he helped me stand .
" Wai... "- I said as I wobbled on the ground .
" Woahhh ! "- he reacted as he prevented me from falling .
" I need to get back inside before the madam figures things out ! "- he explained .
" But I can't , "- I responded as he helped me keep firm my holding my waist .
" Yes you can , you are the strongest girl I've ever met , you know "- he explained further as he urged me to start walking .
I smiled as I walked up to him and gave him a hug .
" Congratulations on joining my list , "- I joked .
" I'll miss you "- he said as he caressed my back .
" Me too , "- I said as he finally broke the hug .
" You should be going now , don't you think ! "- he replied with a raised eyebrow .
" Yeah , yeah "- I remarked as I found my stand and began limping .
I turned back to see him one last time but he was long gone .
* Sigh * better start moving .
I limped as fast as I could but I could still feel myself going slow .
Why aren't there any cars passing by , I mean is this really in the middle of nowhere .
I limped and limped and limped even further . I halted for a while as I caught my breath for a minute .
I was about to continue my walk when I was blinded by light ; wait headlights .
I went to stand in the middle of the road as I waved my hand for the car to stop .
" Please , please , wait , wait ,wait , help me ! "- I yelled as fortunately the car stopped .
Thank the Almighty .
I limped to the passenger door but was met with immediate regret . No ! .I began running away ; why , why did I stop the car .
I continued limping but she was still catching up to me .
" You can run but you can't hide Scarlet , as I told you before ; I . Own . You . "- she said as I heard heavy footsteps behind me .
" Just leave me alone Enrique , how mean can you be ! "- I whispered and unfortunately met with the cold ,hard ground .
