I Hope it Hurts
Chapter 1: This is only the Beginning
(Amber's POV)
"Jeez Eli slow down" I yelled as I chased after him. He kept running, "We're almost there Amber! Come on, you're the cross country runner and I'm kicking your butt!" I pushed forward, leg after leg, stride after stride. There were trees everywhere I'm not sure how I didn't trip. But I guess Eli wasn't as fortunate. I watched as his foot caught one of the roots and he came crashing down. If I wasn't so out of breath I would've been laughing by now. But I came to his side, bent over and put my hands on my knees. "I told you to slow down" I muttered in between breaths. He lifted his hand and I pulled him up. His emerald eyes were shinning "I'm fine thanks for asking" he said with a smirk. "I'm sorry" I said planting a smirk on my face as well "Did little Eli get hurt?" I asked making my eyes bigger and sticking my lips out a bit. "Shit" he said reaching into his pocket "My phones gone." I laughed "Dude, its right over there" I said pointing to a rock. The case was split in two, the back came off and the battery was a little scratched, but it could be worse. I watched as he reassembled his phone "YES!" he yelled putting his fists in the air "The phone lives!" I laughed even harder. "Congratulations Eli. You managed to not completely wreck your phone. He shrugged "I'm not complaining" he said. "So what's this place you were running so fast to get too?" I asked, I had to admit I was curious. The corner of his mouth tugged up higher. "I told you, you won't get to find out until we get there." I crossed my arms across my chest "Fine" I muttered. This time we walked, hand in hand as we made our way deeper into the forest. Eventually we made it to a clearing. It looked as if it hadn't been touched in hundreds of years. I looked around in awe. There were ruins of buildings; it looked more like a small town. "What is this?" I asked distantly. Eli shrugged next to me. "Wow" I thought "Even Eli Goldsworthy has nothing to say." I released Eli's hand as I wandered into the enchanting place. There was a sign above one of the old buildings the words were indecipherable by age. I walked into the room. I guess it was a jail because I saw rusted metal bars creating cages with the walls. I was so concentrated on the jail that I totally forgot Eli was there. I felt someone touch me from behind and I screamed. "Whoa, whoa, chill Amber it's just me." He said putting his hands up by his head. "Sorry" I said with a slight blush. He smirked "I thought you were one of the only people who weren't afraid of me". I hit his arm "And here I thought you were actually going to be serious today. I guess we were both wrong today" I in a cocky tone. "Ouch" he said tracing his index finger from the corner of his eye to the bottom of his chin. "I hope it hurts" I said putting my hands on my hips. I walked by the old bars of the jail with Eli right behind me. When I got to the one in the corner I stopped dead in my tracks and gasped. Eli took my hand in his as his eyes met what mine were already dead locked on.
