Here's another chapter, hope you like it! Sorry for the wait.
It wasn't supposed to be this way. It was not supposed to end this way. What have I done?
"OH GEE…!" Frank yelled, stumbling back to fall on his behind.
He put out his hands behind him to break his fall and to push himself up to run for it. Something large, dark, and making a lot of rustling noises was following close behind him. He didn't need a detective's mind to know to run when he obviously had no means to protect himself.
He'd known for a short while that something was following him, and he had put it off as some sort of wild animal, but now it was becoming very apparent that it wasn't just any wild animal. The thing was, the trees were like wild outgrowth or something because it seriously gave him no more than a 10 foot view of his surroundings.
The rustling noise was growing louder as the mysterious figure behind him was gaining, and wasn't making any attempt of stopping.
Frank gave out a burst of energy to his legs and swerved to the side to try to dodge the lurking form, but it didn't work. Whatever was following him was intent on getting him and he was beginning to get tired of this charade. What or who the heck was following him?
Before he could mull over his thoughts, he felt a sudden jolt at his foot where it was caught between a something sticking out of the ground.
The pain was unbelievably sharp, but he had no time to give out a yell as the figure that was on his tail leapt on him.
Frank gasped in shock. This is it. This is the way he was going to die.
Frank and the mysterious figure rolled around a couple times until he felt himself losing under the strength of his assailant as he somehow ended up on the bottom of the two. He closed his eyes as he saw the raised arm in the air.
"Frank?"
Frank froze, opening his eyes. He could not believe who he was running from.
"Dad?" Frank said amazed.
"Wha..?"
"You?.."
"You first." They said in unison.
"Where have you been?" Frank asked as his dad pulled him up to a sitting position.
"I've been looking everywhere for you! And, I'm so sorry!" Fenton said, looking at Frank up and down.
"I thought you were some monster or something."
"I thought you were the kidnapper!"
"What happened?" Frank asked as he shifted his position but he felt a razor-sharp pain on his ankle.
He fell back in pain, trying to hold back a cry of agony, but the intensity of it with his attempt of seizing his cry made him let a muffled whimper out.
Fenton immediately turned his expression from relief to concern.
"What happened? Did I hurt who when I jumped you?" Fenton asked in embarrassment.
"No." Frank said with his lip between his teeth. "I..I tripped on a root or something."
Fenton lifted Franks pant leg and took off his son's shoe and sock. Frank winced seeing that his foot was two times his shoe.
"Geez. Wished I had some ice for your foot." Fenton said as he examined the red, swollen area around the ankle. "We need to get this swelling down or it'll cut off the blood supply to your foot."
"Dad." Frank said quietly as he realized something was wrong.
"Yes son.?"
"Where's Joe?"
Joe started coughing violently as he laid on something wet and hard. He felt disoriented. Where was he?
Joe slowly opened his eyes but he had to close them for a few more minutes before trying again.
He felt like he got run over by a truck… twice.
Although he was wet, he felt something warm to the left of him. Opening his eyes slowly again, he could see there was a medium sized fire burning next to him. Past the fire, he could only make out a blurred figure before he again fell back into slumber.
Very sorry for the long wait, but I have been really busy, and now a little bummed about my school grades. Well hope you enjoyed the chapter! Please review
