She walked up and down the pathway, looking desperately for a quick escape, but everywhere she looked were trees, trees, and more trees. Instead of facing the forest, she would rather stay here. At least it had a neat pond and some banana and coconut trees. Somehow, she knew the kidnappers would be here soon, as soon as sundown. Thanks to her luck, sundown was minutes away. Trees, or Kidnappers. she thought. Correction: wild animals or kidnappers? She forced herself to concentrate. Emily kicks around a rock while she tried to think.
"Hey, Em, quit it. Trying to save our lives, here?" she grunts.
"Oh yeah, Liz? You were never good at solving things in school. On the other hand, I-"
"- always made fun of my incredible intelligence." Liz finished for her. Emily was the 'popular' girl in school, and she was in the middle of teasing her and calling Liz a 'nerd' when they were kidnapped. She couldn't focus back then, so they had no way of identifying the kidnappers. Trees. she thinks, and somewhere deep inside her, she knows she did the right thing.
"Come On!" she screams, and the sun is setting, and time seems to slow down for her, but speed up everywhere around her.
"Hey!" Em shrieks, "Let go of me!" Liz claps her hand over her mouth and the leaves rumble. She climbs a tree and waits. Emily is in another tree, obviously not happy about getting her high- heeled shoes dirty. Even though she wasn't exactly the smartest seventh grader, at least she knew how to be quiet for one second, which Liz thought was impossible. Emily was the person Liz was opposite to: Emily always skipped her lunch detentions, Liz never got any. Liz always get's A's, and once Em did so bad the math teacher wrote an F- on her test. Liz was never the prettiest, Emily always was. She never cared, though, except when out of all the people in the world, she was stuck with her. She peered down at the kidnappers, searching the area for them, assuming they had'nt run off into the danger- filled woods. They both backed away, and she caught a glimpse of two men dressed in all black, their face wasn't visible.
Slowly, with caution, Liz signaled Em the 'ok' sign, and they both careful, though equally quickly, climbed down the tall tree. Liz took a step back into the pathway, sure it was safe. Suddenly, alarms blared in her ears. She looked desperately around for Emily, and she was sorry for everything. It was a small possibility, but possible. She couldn't say it, and she looked up into the stars, hoping for her guardian, Orion, the consolation, to guide her. It was true that out of all the people in the world, or even lived in the world, she understood stars perfectly. Orion was The Hunter, the ultimate hunter. She could shoot down anything in her way, and she silently pleaded to the stars for mercy. The alarms got louder, and the kidnappers ran to her, and put a handcuff around her hands. Emily had time to escape when she heard the alarm, so she was back into a tree, looking frightened.
"Help." she managed to squeak out. She throat was burning and raw, and her stomach churned. The kidnappers threw her to the ground, and a pain shot up in her right arm. They took off their hood, and instead of faces she saw stars, shining bright. It blinded her eyes, and she flinched.
It is your time. Orion spoke through their mouths, and everything melted around her, the ground shook and stars started falling to the earth. The sun burned out, and her ears rung. The world was ending, and she would be the only survivor. The only question is, what would she do with her life? .
