I yelped out in pain as my head hit the ground, it seemed as though all the air had been knocked out of my lungs, luckily the upper half of me had landed on a patch of grass saving me from too much damage to the head but I could feel the hard pavement ripping at my pants causing my knees to bleed, quickly I tried to regain my breath.
The van swerved and headed towards me. In a flash I was up and running trying to ignore the burning pain in my knees and the painful head ache. I kept running until I was out of breath and had to stop because of the pain in my knees and my feet which were bloody from running without shoes and had small rocks where imbedded in them.
I looked around taking in my surroundings. I was still on the road but I was by what seemed to be a small forest, I decided to take a break and try to catch my breath. I was a fast runner so I knew I would have time to rest before the boys caught up.
I went into the forest and sat behind one for the trees. Catching my breath I started to formulate a plan. I have no idea where I am and I don't know how long I've been out for. For all I know I could be in a different city or even country!I looked up at the sky. It was dark out meaning I had only been out for an hour or so, that is unless I had been asleep for days.
I ran my hand through my hair noticing it was still smooth and unknotted, this relived me. It indicated that I had only been out for a short period of time, not long enough for my hair to get knotted. I still had a horrible head ache so I decided to put my mind to rest for a while and fix up my feet. I did my best to remove the small rocks imbedded in my feet before ripping of the bottom leg parts of my pants and wrapping up my feet with them. I then used a bit of my shirt to dab up some of the blood off my knees.
Once I was done I rested my head against the tree and took a deep breath. I was absolutely exhausted! I closed my eyes and rested hopefully these boys will get tired of looking for me and I can find people help me. I will go home and if the boys come looking for me there, I will have cops waiting.Suddenly I heard a twig snap, my eyes went wide and I go ready to run if I needed to.
"Oh Scarlett, come out, come out, where ever you are!" I heard Harry call "We know you're in here!" called one of his other friends. This was one of my worst nightmares, being hunted down in a dark forest. I peeked out from behind the tree but saw nothing, I need to get out of this forest without them noticing and get as far away from them as possible! Once again my heart was beating fast as I snuck out of the forest, trying to be as quiet as possible.
I made my way out of the forest and looked around. Why does it have to be so dark?! I'll never find my way home when it's dark like this.I felt the urge to break down crying, what did I do to deserve this?I began taking uneven breaths trying to hold back tears.
Suddenly a cloth was put over my mouth and nose causing me to breath in the sweet smelling drug once again. The cloth was removed from my mouth and nose when my knees went limp. I was picked up bridle style and carried away. I looked up expecting to see Harry but instead I saw a boy with brown hair and deep blue eyes. "Why are you doing this to me?" I said just above a whisper as tears began to flow freely down my cheeks. "Because I miss you, and I want you back Lettie." Lettie…that name tugged at my heart why does that sound so familiar?"I just want to go home, take me home!" I said fighting off the darkness. "We are going home, shh... Just go to sleep" "no!" I sobbed still fighting off the darkness; I began struggling in his arms. I managed to get out of his arms and I began crawling away. More tears streamed down my face from the pain from my knees, the boy picked me up once again. "Just go to sleep Lettie, everything is going to be okay." They boy cooed petting my hair. I sobbed as the darkness and exhaustion took over and I fell asleep in the arms of a boy I didn't even know the name of.

"Oh my Lettie, how could I have let you slip away? But don't worry I won't let you slip away again." I cooed as a carried her in my arms back to the van.
I went back to find the boys so we could go home. "Harry, Niall, Zayn, Liam!" I called "I got her!" We all piled into the van and began the rest of the drive home. "She's a fighter isn't she?" Zayn remarked, I signed "She was never like this before" "I guess people change." "I guess so."
The rest of the car ride was silent other than small remarks and jokes. When we finally got to our flat I picked Scarlett up and carried her to the spare room. I tucked her into the bed and walked out the room "I won't let you slip away again!" and with that I locked the door.
