The takeover

Pt. 3

I ventured on a little farther into the woods and saw fire in the pitch black of night. I saw the cops who were chasing us and the captain. What was he doing here? I wondered while I crept up behind a tree on a few yards from their camp and over heard speaking in a low grumbly voice “ we have to find them tomorrow or were all screwed” said a voice. A second one came in and it was and octave or two higher then it. “ yeah yeah we know Fred but their criminals. How are we supposed to hunt them when we don’t even know where they are.” Then a third which I immediately recognized as the captain “Well then if you don’t want to be killed go, look for them for wich I will not be following you or you could remember the real mission. To capture only.”

When those words were spoken I heard some kindness but not much of it. Then I looked beyond the tree and at the captain. He took his shimmering helmet off and in its place was not a hideous creature as Nicole,Peter and I imagined. Peter and Nicole! I completely forgot about them! I took a step backward then fell on my back from a stick wich gave a loud crack! The captains sword was out immediately and almost in my head when I felt pain in my stomach. He was almost upon me when I stood angrily and hurt running away quietly. I then heard hounds on my trail when I knew they would catch me. The camp was only a few feet away when I collapsed. They saw me and I shouted “RUN!” Nicole didn’t have to be told twice but Peter picked me up with his strong arms and I started to protest “ Hey! You can’t carry me I will just slow you down!” He looked me strait in the eyes then said “ I will never leave a friend behind because the day we met we made a pact that said to not leave someone behind.” Then I shut up. He remembered that? That was 5 years a go when we were all very young. Now I’m 17, Nicole 16, and Peter almost 18. I forgot the years we were together. Wether it was fighting the government or just hanging around we were all best friends and there was no mistaking that.
