I was walking along a trail with my BFF,Catherine.His was the best trail in the town.The sky was always clear,the trees were strong with healthy leaves,and the path was smooth.There were birds everywhere.We were half way down the trail when we saw a man with a little girl grasped tightly in his hands.He was running with her,and the girl was screaming for help.As soon as the man ran past us,we started bolting after him.I came close and grabbed his arm,but he flung me off.Me and Cathy decided that I would run close behind him and Cathy would jump off me.I bent down as I ran.Cathy was sprinting right behind.Suddenly,she jumped on me,and bounced onto the mans head.She was punching him and trying to loosen his grip on the little girl.Soon,the man just let go of the girl and ran off.The girl was small,and had scratches covering her body."Are you okay?"I asked the little girl.She didn't respond.I felt her pulse and I looked up to Cathy with a worried expression."We need to check her pulse,"Cathy said as she bent down.Cathy felt the little girls wrist.Cathy looked toward me."She's barely breathing,we need to call 911!"she screamed.I quickly pulled out my phone and dialed the number.I could already here police sirens.The cars pulled to a stop and a man hastily jumped out.He motioned for the other men to bring a stretcher.They lifted her onto the stretcher,and pushed it into the back.They had us ride as well,because we were the only witnesses."What happened?"the ambulance driver asked."Me and my friend were just going for a walk and we suddenly saw a man carrying her,and she started screaming.We pounced on him,and he let go of her.Then,he just ran away,"I said.We were at the hospital.The men jumped up and rushed the stretcher out of the car and banged through the front doors.They took a few turns and pushed her into a room.They immeadeatly started getting to work.The bandaged the wounds,but then they stopped.They looked at the mark in the middle of her chest.It looked like letters.The man had cut the words "Useless" right in the center.In one point,it had cut right through the skin in the area of her heart.She was going to need surgery.They called in the surgeons and had me and Cathy exit the room.They have us a small monitor so we could watch over the small girl.She was scarcely breathing.Suddenly,the camera starting flickering,and went completely black.I heard screaming in the room.I peered through the window to see the man from before.He was holding a knife.He slowly walked over to the child,and raised the knife over her.He started cutting into her arms.Once he was done,he started heading for the door.Me and Cathy ran away and hid.We knew if he saw us we would be dead.We peered at him from behind the bench.He came out,shouting.Then,he just walked away.Me and Cathy creeped back into the room.The girl was crying in pain.I started screaming over the top of my lungs,"Help!!!Please,This Girl Is Dying!"Doctors started rushing in.They picked her up and brought her to a surgery room.They started diagnosing.We were waiting outside for the news.A doctor walked out with a clipboard."I'm so sorry for this little girl.We were able to talk to her finally,and she talked about how a man kidnapping her 4 years ago.The man was cruel.He whipped her,cut her,threw her,and kicked her.We believe the man was mentally ill.What he did to the girl might mean she has to go to a mental hospital to recover."I looked behind him.I could see the men finishing up the surgery.Now,they were walking her out of the room.I felt as if the girl was my own.I know I just met her,but I felt a strong connection every time she was near me.
