Chapter 3

Rachel felt a loss of heat even in her state of sleep she opened her eyes and noticed that Chad was gone she had started to freak out or more of being mad at herself she should have known that he would leave her here to die

The bushes stated to move her eyes widen and she broke out into a cold sweat she could feel he heart beat in her veins usually she could take care of herself and she wouldn't be frozen with fear but she had a hurt ankle.

The bushes started to shake even more and she nearly died of shock. "Hey are you ok? It looks like you saw a ghost" Chad said

"Does it look like I'm alright" she asked sarcastic "what are you doing sneaking out from the bushes" she said mad

"Umm I didn't sneak out, I walked out and what your problem" Chad answered back

"My problem is that I am stuck out in the middle of nowhere and nobody knows I'm and here is the worst part I'm stuck with you" she answered back

When she said that she noticed a look of hurt in his eyes "oh" was all he said and then dropped an armful of wood on the ground and ten minutes later there was a fire and then he left again through the bushes and she was left alone again.

Chad

What was he thinking of course she hated him, he did betrayed the kids next door. He was mumbling he walked away "can't believe her I saved her when she fell off the cliff and I kept her warm last night and I went to look for wood so we could have fire and now I am looking for food" he was frustrated all he has done has taken care of her since this happened well it was his fault that his team attacked them but still he didn't have to save her.

He clenched his fist he was mad not mad furious "why am I even helping her" he questioned to himself he wasn't friends with her but he did have a crush on her when he was in the kids next door because of many reasons one she was not only pretty but beautiful two she could take care of herself, three she was an awesome fighter he could say that she was almost as good as him. But now everything has changed she use to admire him he knew that because she told him but now she hated him with burning passion.

Rachel

She couldn't believe him he left her again okay she had to admit that she was a little cold to him after all okay she was a lot cold to him he had saved her life many times just in the past few hours than anyone every did in her entire life okay so the entire kids next door protect her but that is because it's their job but Chad did it on his own "that's it when he gets back I'm going to apologize it is the least I could do and she could also thank him" she said then she crawled close to the fire wanting to get warm.

She was hurt by his betrayal that was why she was so cold to him he was mad she was sad she was hurt but that was it but she still loved him although she would never admit it to him she couldn't even admit it to fanny who was one of her best friends she couldn't even believe herself she just wasn't that kind of girl. It was Chad that made her legs go weak she actually felt like a girl when she was near him it was just too weird but that's the way it was and to tell the truth she still felt that way but with a little more hurt in her heart.

She made a decision she wasn't going to wait for him to come back so she could say she was sorry. She got up and pain shot though her ankle all and the way up her foot gritting her teeth so she wouldn't scream and waited a minute before she moved one foot in front of the other she felt like someone was shoving knives in her foot and it hurt but she continued anyways, curse her genes she was stubborn like her mom and unfortunately she got that gene and it wouldn't let her give up so easily so she went on and she limped her way through the same bush that Chad went through earlier.

Chad

He had walked back through the bush some hours later with whatever food he could find and found the clearing cleared expect the fire he had started but there was no sign of Rachel, he looked around for her but there was no sign of her anywhere he walked over the fire and put the food down next to it

"Were could she have gone?" he asked himself "oh great now I'm taking to myself" he mumbled

He got up and decided that he would at least he would go and look for her even if she didn't want him to it was the way his parents raised him and how his dad told him to look after a girl when she needed help and didn't know it or when she was hurt because it was the right thing to do. So he got up and went back through the bushes again all he wants is to sit down and rest maybe even take a nap he had been working all day.

That's when he heard it a scream and not just any scream it was Rachel's

That whooped him in to action he started to run ignoring all the aches and pains in his body trying to get to Rachel and protect her from whatever it was that made her scream Rachel never screams he knows that much and it would take a lot to get her to scream. He was moving branches and bushes that got in the way and that's when he saw her Rachel.
