The Price of Life
Chapter#1
A single shot ran through the air. A warning. But I wasn't listening to their warnings anymore. I was finally taking my life into my own hands, and I was running. I had promised myself that I would never let them break me. If I had to die to do that then so be it. At least I would be free.
I clung to the chain link fence. Desperate. Determined to make it over. Strings of barbed wire dug into my palms, the sharp stabs of pain running up my arms but not stopping me. I picked up my hand and slammed it down again. Not enough time to think about where I was putting it. Adrenaline high preventing me from feeling the pain.
Finally my bare feet met solid ground, my bloody hands to damaged to let go as quickly as I needed to. I yanked them back, flaps of skin still hanging from the wire. Drops of blood dripped onto the ground as I ran. There was no way I would be able to hide with injuries like these. All I could do was run.
I broke from under the cover of the forest. Panting, pushing myself to make it the twenty meters to the pier. I could lose the dogs scent if I could make it to water.
"Stop!"My fathers harsh command rang through the air, echoing through the valley. His voice only served to remind me of how desperately I needed to get away. Drawing on reserves I didn't know I had I made it all the way to the far edge of the pier before had shot. The first bullet threw me to my knees. The pain causing my breath to come out in sharp breaths. The wooden deck spun around beneath me, my blood pooling down my arm and around my hand. Exertion took over and my arms gave out, the world finally slipping into oblivion.
