Chapter 4
Running Claire
Claire's POV
Vivvian and I woke up early and hit the road again. After hours of walking a vegetable garden caught my eye. "Vivvian, how stealthy are you?" I asked. "Not very, I thought we agreed years ago that I was the brains and you were the strength." Vivvian replied.
"Ok, here's the plan, we'll hop that fence and get all the food we can cause I don't know about you, but I'm hungry. If we get caught just run like the wind, but don't forget our bag." I told her. I looked around and found some charcoal. I made two lines across each of our cheeks and said, "Let's do this."
Soon our plan was in action. We stealthily climbed the fence and started plucking food. Suddenly a woman ran out of the house with a very angry expression. "Run Claire!" Vivvian shouted and with that we took off. We climbed the fence and started running, but the lady was following us!
Crazy woman. I thought as I hopped another fence, with the crazy lady following us. We rounded a corner and I pulled Vivvian behind a fence in a playground. The lady stopped and looked around. She started walking towards us and I pulled Vivvian into the bushes behind us.
Luckily the woman didn't hear us and as we watched through the leaves, the lady disappeared. "Wholly crap. That was sooo close." Vivvian sighed. "She's crazy! What kind of person chases people like that? She wasn't even fast!" I said. Vivvian laughed. "Why did we run? We should've walked." Vivvian and I both started laughing at that. "Ok, what do we do now? I'm still hungry." Vivvian asked.
By now we were in Washington. We lived very close to the boarder. "I say we should keep going." Vivvian suggested. I agreed. We walked until it got dark and we slept by a cliff.
I woke up in the morning and I looked around. At first I didn't notice, but then I took another look around and boy did I notice. "VIVVIAN!" I shouted. "CCCLLLAAAIIIRRREEE!" I heard Vivvian scream then I heard her sob. I ran in her direction and I didn't see her. I started panicking. I mean really panicking. "VIVVIAN!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. "Claire in down here!" I heard Vivvian shout. I suddenly took in my surroundingsā¦
I was at the edge of the cliff.
Please review! I don't mind!
