Disclaimer: NO! When will these people get it?
Ok, guys. Things are about to heat up. Get ready...
Also, I am going to try making my chapters longer. Tell me what you think!
Alex and Rhia ran through the forest, their breaths coming out in short gasps. They had been running for hours, or so it seemed, and still Charlie showed no signs of slowing down.
He loped from branch to branch in the forest, pausing occasionally to spring onto another branch. Each time he did this, Brolo would let out a squeak of delight. Alex couldn't help but smile at this, even in their current predicament.
Almost as soon as they had began to flee, horns sounded. There was a whole bout of noise as the goblins caught on to what was happening. Now they had found the small groups' trail, although how they did was unapparent to Alex.
Another horn sounded from behind them. This made Charlie begin to lope faster, his breath starting to sound strained. Alex glanced next to him at Rhia, who was recklessly speeding up to match her pace with the cat.
He had to admire her endurance and will. His own legs were burning with each step, and he was one of the top distance runners at his school. Alex could not imagine how Rhia's legs must be feeling.
Night descended without rest for the quartet. Only Brolo was still cheerful, calling encouragement to the others. "Coma on! Yous can keep goin'! Wheeee! Tha' was a big un' Cha'lie!"
Finally, when Alex's legs were leaden and all of his efforts were on putting another foot forward, Charlie stopped abruptly and vanished. Both Alex and Rhia collapsed onto the forest floor, their breath coming in great heaves.
A minute later, Charlie reappeared at the base of a tree trunk calling out in a hoarse whisper, "Psst, hey! Get in here, we will be safe until morning!" Brolo added cheerfully, "Yea, safe! There's food an' wata in hea too!"
Alex lurched to his feet, supporting Rhia as she scrambled off the ground. They climbed in through a barricade of bushes and entered a hollow tree trunk. The bushes snapped back with a twang, completely concealing the entrance to the hideout.
Visible above was the branches of the tree; it's leaves sparkling in the moonlight. Charlie pulled out some bread and cheese. Along with apples and some other unknown fruit. Brolo brought out four huge acorn shells filled with cold water.
All of them ate in silence, lacking words after their flight. No one even smiled at Brolo, who was stuffing his cheeks so full of food that it looked like he had swallowed a tennis ball. After their meal, Charlie bid them goodnight, grabbed Brolo, who was still attempting to grab more food, and climbed up the trunk onto an overhanging limb.
Alex and Rhia stayed up a while longer, talking. "Well, we made it. We're free." Alex started. Rhia gave him a small smile and replied, "Not yet. We are still here, where ever that is. We will be free when we get back home."
Alex sighed and put his arm around her. "Don't worry about that. Let's just take things one day at a time. Eventually, we're bound to find a way out." Rhia looked up into his shadowed face, handsome even in darkness. "Okay." She said, kissing him softly on the lips.
Alex grinned and kissed her back, drawing it out for as long as possible. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him again ad she pressed her body up against his. Alex leaned back until she was on top of him, never once breaking the kiss. The lovers held each other in silent reverence through out most of the night, closer than any had ever been before.
Well, what did you think? Review and let me know!
