After Dark

Lucas led us through the dimly lit forest in sure steps with Adrianna walking beside him intentionally sashaying, she was obviously proud of the fact that it was her man that was bold enough to take the lead. Lucas walked like he had been in the forest before, like he was used to walking through dimly lit and scary forest probably full of shadows waiting for us to come near before they devoured us. As we went deep into the forest murmuring started to rise, people were starting to get less scared because we had been walking for at least 2 hours and nothing had happened yet. The only sign of living things were rabbits running around the thick bushes at the sight if us.Adrianna still stayed stuck at Lucas's side and I wondered how long she'd do that before she actually gets bored and move to talk t

I watched as the clouds drift past by the window.The urge to go back pulled at my heart squeezing it tightly, I fought against it and won but doesn't mean the urge left completely I still felt the great need to smash open the helicopter's window, squeeze myself through it and jump down, to whatever lies beneath.I felt someone squeeze my hand and it turned out to be Irena. Her eyes were closed but I could tell she was awake.Her hands felt cold which betrayed her calm demeanor. She told me once that her hands gets unnaturally cold whenever she was anxious or petrified.I squeezed back and it calmed me down a bit.I could think straight once more without my thoughts drifting towards jumping to my death.Not for the first time, my thoughts drifted towards the place.

'Chuff, chuff, chuff'.That was the sound of the helicopter whirling. The first batch hunters where standing in a straight line beside the helicopter addressed by Julia.'For the hunt, you are allowed to use all the machinery provided, guns, bombs. Anything. But the only weapon you're not allowed is spear'.She said the word like it was the most dangerous thing on earth.'So if you have any hidden weapon of any kind, drop them on the floor now!'.Two men marched forward and dropped the knifes hidden in the belts.'Wise'. Julia clapped then turned so fast I only saw breeze. In an instant she was at the front of a lady whom I recognised as Mimi and before I could blink reached into her shirt and brought out a small knife.'Not wise'. She smirked and Mimi screamed while holding her head.'Just a warning, next time I won't be so nice.
