Shattered Dreams and Broken Hearts
Chapter 6
"This sucks," Tanya stated as she picked another twig out of her hair.
Kat sighed, they had been wandering around the woods for hours now and they were completely lost. Both of them had blisters and it wasn't helping that they hadn't had anything to drink or eat for quite a long time. Kat was still pondering over how this had happened when she stopped dead in her tracks.
Tanya was too busy picking things out of her hair to watch where she was going and bumped into Kat making her almost fall over. "Sorry," Tanya mumbled, "Why did you stop?"
"You heat that? I think it's a river!" Kat said as she took off running. Branches broke on her as she plunged through the forest, giving her many cuts and bruises but Kat was too focused on finding something to drink to care.
"Finally! I thought I was going to die of thirst," Tanya yelled as she followed her friend.
Kat stepped into an opening and let out a small yelp of surprise. The ground was slightly softer here and her foot had caught in a hole, making her trip.
"You ok?" Tanya asked, looking down at her friend.
Kat sat up and rubbed her butt. She smiled awkwardly, "Yah, don't worry about me. I'll meet you at the river in a second."
"Ok," Tanya said as she ran for the river slipping off her shoes and leaving them beside Kat.
Kat looked around. 'Wow, it's so beautiful here.' She looked at the river and she could tell that it had snowed recently since some puffs of white were still left here and there.Kat decided to look around some more and began to walk up the bank of the river.
Her feet carried her to quite a ways up the bank and her thirst was momentarily forgotten. She was admitting the bird's singing when something purple caught her eye. Her emerald eyes scanned the water where she had seen it and wandered over to see what it was.
Kat frowned when she neared the site she had seen it. She could see the speck of purple but couldn't reach it from where she was. Kat sighed and took off her shoes to wade in to the water.
She instantly regretted it and danced around a bit. 'Cold, cold, cold!' Eventually Kat began to get used to the water but she couldn't help but notice how pink her legs had turned.
She waded out a little farther and stuck her hand out to see what the object was. Her hand grabbed the item and she pulled it out of the water.
It looked like a piece of clothing and was purple and red. 'How pretty, it's almost the same color as…'
Kat lost her train of thought and gasped in surprise when she looked up.
A beautiful water fall greeted her eyes and was about three hundred yards from where she was wading. Kat had never seen one that big and she knew that she had to see it up close.
Kat waded back to shore and began walking towards the falls. Occasionally she would stop and look at a flower that seemed to stand out among the others.
She loved the scenery and wished she could live here forever…
"Gah!" she exclaimed. Her foot caught on something and she fell forward. 'Wow, I seem to be very clumsy these days.'
She lost her train of thought when she noticed that she had landed on something soft and wet. Kat sat up and looked at her shirt. 'Oh great.'
Kat looked down to see that the entire front of her white shirt was now covered in blood.
She looked down to see what she had landed on. 'A boy?'He was lying with his torso on the sandy bank of the river, his legs submerged in the ice cold water. His brilliant fiery red hair was floating around him, grains of sand stuck to it, moving with each small ripple and wave.
It was then that Kat noticed that the water around him was crimson and that she was standing in a pool of his own blood. She also caught sight of the wounds that had torn most of his upper arm off, exposing bone and muscle.
Her stomach lurched, she leaned over and vomited.
