Just a little teaser to set your minds at ease. I've been plagued with a
little bit of writers block recently, so I'm gradually writing my way out
of it. I'll be back with the full chapter nine within the next week, so
look out for it! Meanwhile, here's a pre-9 teaser. What do you think will
happen?
Sydney flexed her arm in wonder. It was finally free from the cast, and the itch, which had plagued her waking thoughts, was finally exposed. She scratched like a woman possessed. Finally, the itching subsided, and she sank back into the car seat, a self-satisfied grin on her face. Vaughn watched out the corner of his eye, a small smile playing across his lips.
"How many layers of skin came off with that scratch, Syd?"
He looked back at the road, carefully negotiating a very tight corner. It had taken them three hours to get to the nearest town, and they were half way through their return journey. The mountain seemed to go on forever.
"I just can't believe I finally have my arm back!"
She held it up to study it again.
"See! No cast! No itch! Free!"
It had become a fascination with her, as they drove home. She scratched at it, rubbed it, flexed it every chance she could. It was her new toy. Vaughn could do nothing but laugh.
"Ok, we've established your arm is fixed, so can you stop waving it in front of my face while I'm driving?" He managed to say, while still laughing. They turned another sharp corner perched on the edge of the steep mountain. Vaughn had to pull the car sharply to the right, as another car dashed past them, narrowly missing the car. "Shit!" He took a sharp intake of breath. They weren't expecting any other cars on the road, as the route they were taken wasn't normally used by other drivers. It was a private road leading up to the cabins. Suddenly, Sydney and Vaughn heard a screeching of tyres, and a revving of an engine. They looked at the rearview mirror, and realised instantly that they were being followed. The car behind them was closing the gap quickly, it's speed increasing. The windows were tinted, and they could barely see two figures inside the car.
Vaughn hit the accelerator without a second thought.
I'll be back with the full chapter soon. Let me know your thoughts!
And I apologise about the wait. Thanks for the supportive reviews!
