Lost In Nowhere

Part 5

"Lindsey." I say calmly through my clenched teeth. I drop my berries "Lindsey, look."

She directs her eyes towards where I am looking. There stands 5 men in black red and yellow uniforns. Their faces are covered by thin black cloth enough to disguise their features.

"We should get down and crawl back to Jamison." She says and we get on our knees. The tall dry grass cuts my stomach and my knees leaving behind blood droplets on the white grass. Wearing only my baithing suit I was almost completely exposed. I winced at the pain and stopped for a moment. Lindsey kept going and I saw Jamison close ahead.

"James!" shouts Lindsey loud enough for james to hear and turn to face us, but not enough for the soldiers to hear. "I think Mel is hurt." she says turning to face me. I look down and see my stomach. Apparently it looked just as bad as it felt. The grass was like razors to my soft skin. We hadn't got rain in days so it was adnormally dry and hard.

"No I'll be fine." I say through clenched teeth. I didn't know if I was overeacting or not but the pain was horrible. "They're the real problem." I say pointing behind me. When I turn around I notice something I hadn't noticed before. Each man was armed with a shotgun. Pointed towards us. "Oh no." I mutter and fall on my back to the ground. I was ready to surrender. Then is when I noticed what was hiding in the tall grass. Large pricklers about 2 inches long. I cover my tender stomach and mussage some of the blood away, but the more that goes away the more comes back. The wounds where deeper then I thought.

"Run!" I shout from where I lay on the ground. "Run!" they give me a look of disaproval and I frown. I stand up and wince. They begin to sprint towards the tents and I wasnt to far behind. Joey, Tristan and Danny must have noticed because they all ran into their tents. Just a few feet a away from the tents I hear a soldeir load their gun. They shoot and I feel the peircing bloody pain in my ankle. I scream and fall to the ground. I scream "Help!" again and again. Lindsey stops to help me, but a soldier comes from behind taking her from behind.

"No!" she screams in panick "help!"

I stand up about to go after her, but fall with a painfull shreik. "Lindsey!" she gives me a look of sympathy and mouths something that looks almost like "go" before she gets dragged away into the distance.
