SASHA’S POV
I shivered in fear, when I heard the sound of the gun being shot in my direction. It almost felt like I was shot, but I felt nothing like aches within me. That shot had made me frozen, but I immediately got myself and continued my race.
That shot gave me a new speed. I ran like the wind. Only that my life was at stake and I was trying everything to get away from these men.
The flashes of light flashing in my direction. I wonder if they knew exactly where I was. But I wasn’t ready to be caught.
I kept running for my life while these men kept chasing me with their guns. I ran, until my legs came weak again. I couldn’t run any more. I stopped, panting close to a big tree.
“I can’t go on,” I panted out, feeling my body shivering.
Heard rustling sounds coming closer. I immediately hid behind the big tree. Shutting my mouth so they won’t hear me panting.
The flashes of their torch increased. Indicating how near they were to me. My heart is pounding, wondering if they’re going to see me. Didn’t know what to do…
“What’s this?” I felt something behind me on the tree. I couldn’t see properly in the dark, but I could still feel.
My hand touched the tree I was leaning on and noticed there’s a big hole below to the ground. I felt a sigh of relief on feeling this. I hope you can fit in.
Without waiting, I lowered myself down and slowly moved back into this hall. Surprisingly, my entire body went into this hole. I quickly took cover, not minding what I was stepping on.
“Move this way.” I heard the voice of a male right outside the tree. My heart skipped on hearing the voice. It showed how close they were to me now.
I saw how their lights lingered around. Heard them talking to themselves. Murmuring that they couldn’t find me. “Please go away,” I prayed within. Hoping they’ll go back since they couldn’t find me. But I was wrong.
“We aren’t going back until we find that woman. She has seen too much. Let’s move it!” A deep voice decided the others.
And that was it. They didn’t leave. They kept on with their search for me, moving ahead into the woods to look for me. I felt my body shivering after hearing their decision. This means I can’t leave this spot. I don’t know who’s close by or on the road with my car. I just can’t go anywhere.
I made myself comfortable where I was, because the position I was in was killing my back. I dragged myself up a bit and sat on something that felt like a rock.
“This isn’t how I wanted my night to go. God! How I wish I took that bridge when I was still at the hospital. By now I wouldn’t be facing this,” I groaned, almost in tears.
I recurred the face of the man they had shot down. His head fell to the ground, visible for me to see due to the lights from the cars there. I felt like throwing up just imagining it, but I held myself.
“My phone. Let me see if I can reach out to the police for help,” I suggested. Checking my pocket for my phone.
“Goddamn it!” I got angry, recalling I had left my phone back in my car. Breaking into tears all of a sudden. I just want to go home.
.
“NO!” I screamed out. Opening my eyes, It’s morning already. The morning light came, shining bright into the tree where I was hiding.
I could hear the birds singing out in the woods, and squirrels chirping around. “Geez! It was a dream. Oh, my head hurts,” I groaned, rubbing my eyes.
Seeing it’s morning, I had a feeling those men would have returned back by now. There’s no way that they would have stayed up all night. They must have returned back already.
I managed to drag myself up from where I sat on the rock. My waist was hurting and I couldn’t wait to get away from the woods. I placed my hands on this rock I’ve been sitting on. About lifting myself up, I looked down and realized I’ve been sitting on a dead tortoise. “Gross!” I freaked out, jumping out from the tree and straight on the ground.
The shining light almost blinded me, so I had to cover my face immediately. I dimmed my eyes, before I could see clearly. The woods, so bright thanks to the sun.
I groaned out, standing up and stretching my body out. I shifted my waist to its right position, looking around from my point.
The chirping sound of the squirrels on the tree got me looking. I had my eyes around this beautiful sight of nature. But I wasn’t ready for nature, but my life.
Looking around, I could see how calm the area was looking. It seems those men have gone back. “This is good. They’re gone. I have to escape now,” I decided, seeing everything is fine.
Getting my strength back, I retraced my step back from the big tree. I walked carefully into the woods, trying to locate my way out. I know it was at night when I ran through these paths, but I’m sure I can still figure my way out.
Just as I’m making my way out of the woods, I heard the sound of cars honking. I’m getting closer to the road. “Finally!” I felt relieved, walking fast.
I found myself climbing up to the hilly part of the woods, almost getting to the top. Only to realize something.
“Got you!” A manly voice said from behind, grabbing my hair. I yelled when I felt the grip. Turning around I saw a sight that made my mouth fall open.
He has a tall, lean physique, standing at around 6’2″ with broad shoulders and a chiseled chest. His hair is a sandy blond, perfectly messy and framing his angular face. His eyes are a deep, piercing green, with a sharp jawline and full lips that curve into a captivating smile.
His skin has a warm, golden undertone, as if kissed by the sun, and his features are finely chiseled, with high cheekbones and a straight nose. His eyes sparkle with intelligence and humor, and his presence is confident and commanding, yet approachable and kind.
He has a strong, athletic build, honed from years of physical activity, and his style is effortlessly cool, with a wardrobe that accentuates his physique and showcases his unique sense of fashion. When he moves, his entire presence seems to radiate a sense of calm, confident authority, drawing attention without seeking it.
His smile is disarming, revealing a hint of vulnerability beneath his strong exterior, and his voice is deep and smooth, sending shivers down your spine as he speaks with a quiet confidence that is impossible to resist.
“So, you thought you could run away and we won’t find you?” The man scoffed at me, snapping me out of my thoughts, as I stared at him in awe as I have never seen a man this handsome before.
His glaring eyes fixed right on me. “Why aren’t you responding?” He asked wrapping his hands around my shoulder pulling me closer to him, while I still kept calm.
He pin me to a tree behind, and looked around for something I don’t know of.
I stood beside him, my eyes fixed on his chiseled profile as he gazed out at the view. I couldn’t help but drool over his sharp jawline, his piercing green eyes, and his full lips curved into a subtle smile.
He turned to me finally, catching my staring, and raised an eyebrow. “Like what you see?” he asked, his voice low and husky.
I felt my face flush, but I couldn’t look away. He took a step closer, his eyes locked on mine, and whispered, “I can see the desire in your eyes. You want me, don’t you?” He spoke in a whisper, and I felt different.
My heart raced as he leaned in on the tree behind me, his breath hot against my ear. “I can smell your arousal,” he whispered, his voice sending shivers down my spine, as I shift comfortable. “You’re wet for me, aren’t you?”
My eyes widened as he pulled back, his smile turning devilish. I felt my panties grow damp, my body betraying me.
He chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “I can see it in your eyes,” he said, his voice dripping with seduction. “You can’t resist me.”
My gaze was trapped by his, my entire body thrumming with desire. I couldn’t look away from his beauty, his smile turning me on like a switch.
“Let’s get out of here,” he whispered, his eyes burning with intensity. “I want to make you scream my name.”he said.
My heart skipped a beat as he took my hand, leading me away from the woods. I recalled what I witnessed last night, and knew I was in trouble, but I just couldn’t resist the pull of his magnetism, his beauty, and his dirty words.
