Chapter5.
well i really don't have much to say but i hope you enjoy the chapter!(its mostly a charlie chapter)
Sweat poured down charlie's face as he stood frozen starinig into the boar's dark eyes.Four of them since there was two boars.His legs were shaking and for a minute he could'nt think.Now he knew what it meant when you were frozen with fear or shock.The gun felt so small and tiny from proctection of the boar right then and he wanted to run away but his will from proctecting claire chased the fear away.most of it.
He cocked the gun and wished locke was here.He knew how to capture boars and use them as a feast,charlie wished he could do the same...he felt weak and helpless...as he had when he became a junkie...strength sapped from his body but then a picture of clarie invaded his mind...that had onlt happened a few days ago,changing their relationship forever.
flashback:
The moon hung high above the air and charlie and claire were sitting on the beach basking in the moonlight as the baby slept.
"charlie,you are never useless..do you hear me? you saved me and i my baby from evan and jack from the landslide...and i-i"
Charlie looked at her.
"charlie i think i love you..."
They had kissed and her soft,whispering words entered his mind...
i'm not useless...i'm not useless...he htought.
Flashback over
The boar was standing still apparently waiting for charlie's first move.
"ok here goes" charlie closed his eyes...ready...
Charlie ran closer for a better aim,skidded to a stop and aimed the gun.BANG! a shot echoed through the forest as the bullet hit it's mark on the leg.Both boars roared,driving into frenzy and ran at him.He rolled to the side,his shirt sticking into sharp rocks,pain digging into his skin.He cried out and with agility,rolled and stood up.The boars were running at him again.He aimed the gun but the boars were so close he moved again.A claw scratched his chin.
Charlie turned the gun and BANG! BANG! two shots stole through the night and one boar lay dead on the ground,blood pooling.
The other was still alive and active however.He was about to shot it too when he became distracted.
"charlie!"a voice called.
He turned in that direction which was not a wise choice.The boar charged with direct aim and charlie was flung in the air.He crumbled to the ground.His face was barely recongizable,blood covered it.He coughed and opened a bruied eye.
"ahhhh!"claire's scream pierced his ears.
He struggled to sit up.He blinked back unconsciousnes and saw claire,the boar running at her.With effort he grabbed the gun and shot the boar with careful aim.It died in a instant,feet away from claire.
Charlie closed his eyes and mummered "for you claire" before sliding into unconsciouness.
Short chapter i know and i think i screwed up and made it pretty unclear but promise the other chapters will be better.basically charlie was beat up pretty bad by the boars.bye.
