This is my first fanfic so I'm still learning but I hope you like it. I know the first couple of chapters are really short but they get longer I promise. Read and enjoy (and review :) x
MINI POV
Liv, Matty and I took off running after Franky; running through the trees, jumping over fallen logs, calling out her name. I had my head down, trying to catch up, when I heard the scream. It stopped me dead, instantly I knew it was a scream of terror, I knew it meant something bad. And I just stood there, I didn't really want to know what had happened. But Liv and Matty rushed forward on either side of me. Liv ran to the edge of the cliff and lay down to see over the side. Matty just stood behind her. I had a feeling that he didn't really want to know the truth either.
"She's here!" screamed Liv. "Franky give me your hand!"
I still couldn't see Franky. I still didn't want to move. Liv's voice got more frantic as she screamed at Franky. Then I heard the second awful sound, the snap. Liv cried out and lunged forward, almost toppling over the edge herself. Matty became unfrozen, running forward next to Liv. I remained exactly where I was.
"Oh my God! Matty what do we do? Franky! Franky!" Liv continued to cry over the edge. Matty turned to face me. His eyes were wide and staring straight into me, completely shocked.
"We...uh...we have to go down. There must be a way to get down there...Mini...we..." he trailed off into silence, clearly in shock. I stared straight back at him. Suddenly I became aware that I was shaking my head and mumbling something. I didn't want to know what had happened. I didn't want to see. I just wanted to go back, so I turned and took off back through the trees. Liv shouted behind me "Mini! Mini come back! Mini please don't leave" but I didn't care about her or Matty or anything else, I just had to get away from the image in my head. I didn't want it to be true.
Air rasped in and out of my lungs as I sprinted. I was fit but I was not used to this blind sprinting. It didn't help that as I ran tears were pouring down my cheeks. Eventually I threw myself against a large oak tree, clutching at its trunk and sobbing uncontrollably. I don't know how long I hugged that tree, trying to calm myself down. When my breathing slowed again I slid down the trunk to sit crouched against its comforting skin. Looking up I could see the ceiling of leaves and branches, criss-crossing against the blue sky, light shining through the thin green leaves. It was beautiful. The forest was beautiful. It was calm and quiet and it felt like nothing bad ever happened here. Except it did, not too far away. I had to go back, I couldn't leave Liv and Matty. I couldn't leave Franky. Whatever had happened I knew I had to go back. It was time to stop running.
