Chapter 3-Finding the Girls
"They're coming for us!" Bridgette exclaimed throwing her arms around me happily. I hugged her back.
"I can't believe it! We're going to be rescued!" I said excitedly.
"Do you think we could make it back to the others and be back here in three hours?" Bridgette asked.
"We shouldn't risk it," I replied looking up the old road which for the past day has been empty with no sign of a car.
"What if something happened to Lindsay and Beth while we were away though? Shouldn't we go and check?" Bridgette asked.
"We left them in good hands, they know which way we went, if they really need us they'll come," I reasoned.
"I hope you're right," Bridgette whispered.
*~*~*~*~*
"How are they doing?" Heather asked as Gwen and Leshawna walked back over to the others.
"Not to good, but at least they're stable," Gwen replied.
"I hope Katie and Bridgette are okay too," Sadie said.
"I wonder if they've found anyone yet," Eva questioned.
"Well, when we crashed if there were people around don't you think someone would've heard us crash or seen the plane crashing into the trees?" Gwen asked.
"They'll find someone. Katie did say she had her cell-phone maybe they got a hold of the guys or the RCMP!" Courtney said.
"We're in the middle of a forest, how could they possibly find any signal?" Heather snapped.
"Maybe they found a little bit of signal. It only takes one bar to send a text message or make a quick call," Sadie pointed out.
"G-Gretchen," Lindsay's weak voice called from behind them.
"Coming Lindsay," Gwen called standing back up and walking back over to where they had moved Lindsay and Beth to keep them comfortable. Soon Leshawna wandered back over with her and the two teens sat on either side of the injured girls.
"Do you think Katie and Bridgette are going to bring help?" Leshawna asked.
"I don't know, but if they do I just hope its Trent," Gwen replied.
"Even seeing scrawny boy Harold, that would just make my day," Leshawna sighed.
"I want Cody," Beth whispered softly obviously having heard Gwen and Leshawna's conversation.
"And T-Tyler," Lindsay sobbed. For once the blond had gotten her boyfriend's name correct.
"Don't worry they'll be here soon," Gwen said trying to comfort the two girls. She sighed wishing she knew if her own words were true, little did she know that soon even they would be....
*~*~*THREE HOURS LATER*~*~*
"Will this rain ever stop?" Bridgette asked angrily. Suddenly the light rained turned into pouring rain that within seconds had soaked both Bridgette and I
"I'm guessing that is fate telling you no," I replied. We didn't risk going down to the trees in fear of missing the guys so we were standing on the side of the road, soaked and waiting.
"After I kiss and hug Geoff, I'm murdering him!" Bridgette yelled. I laughed and Bridgette looked at me as if I was crazy. "What is so funny?" Bridgette asked.
"I really don't know," I cried clutching my stomach as I continued to laugh. Soon Bridgette was laughing and we probably looked so strange. Two teenage girls standing in the rain, on the side of an abandoned road, soaked, and laughing hysterically. Eventually we stopped laughing and just stood watching the still empty road with heavy hearts.
"I wish they'd get here already, I'm freezing, soaked, and I just really want to go home," Bridgette cried.
"They'll be here soon and they're probably just as anxious to see us too! I'll bet anything Geoff will run right up to you and pull you into a hug and kiss you passionately," I said and Bridgette smiled. She opened her mouth to say something, but she suddenly froze her eyes going wide. "Bridgette? Are you okay?" I asked.
"Katie, look!" Bridgette said pointing up the road. I turned and looked and saw three trucks come down the road and I turned to Bridgette and we hugged each other excitedly. "THEY FOUND US! WE'RE SAVED!" Bridgette screamed.
"I wouldn't count on that." We both froze. That voice, that familiar voice. Slowly both Bridgette and I turned around to face him.
"B-b-but you disappeared, after the plane crashed," I stuttered nervously as Bridgette and I clung to each other in fright.
"Sure for a little while, but now I'm back and you're little boyfriends will be able to watch as I kill you both off," He said. He pulled out a knife from his jacket and raised it above our heads and Bridgette and I screamed. I pulled Bridgette out of the way as he thrust his knife down and hit empty air where Bridgette and I had been standing seconds earlier. "Hold still." Bridgette and I turned and ran, but the heavy footsteps and splash of the water confirmed his following us. Suddenly blinding lights shone in our eyes causing him to groan and Bridgette to stumble over the metal thing on the side of the road keeping cars from falling over the edge. She fell over to the other side and started to skid and slide down the slope.
"Bridgette!" I yelled jumping over the metal thing and trying my best to not trip and go falling down the slope.
"Get back here!" I turned and saw him starting to run down the slope. Suddenly I tripped over something and found it to be Bridgette. "Bridgette come on get up, he's right behind us," I begged helping Bridgette stand up.
"BRIDGETTE!"
"Geoff!" Bridgette screamed. "HELP!" Bridgette yelled as the man made a dive for us.
"MOVE!" I yelled pushing Bridgette out of the way and just nearly jumping backwards to avoid our chaser. He missed and ended up sliding down the rest of the slope.
"Both of you wait there!" An older man called down. I made my way over to Bridgette and we looked up and smiled as we saw a ton of people making their way down the slope, the first two being Geoff and Noah. The minute they reached us I threw my arms around Noah and hugged him tightly.
"Katie," Noah whispered returning the hug. When we broke apart he leaned in and kissed me.
"Katie, Bridgette are you both okay?" An older man said.
"Yeah," Bridgette replied as she and Geoff broke apart from their own make out session.
"Who was that guy chasing you though?" Trent asked.
"That was the guy that hijacked the plane, after the plane crashed he disappeared and we thought he was gone, but he just showed up," I explained.
"Um...guys...where did he go?" Cody asked pointing to the bottom of the slope where there was no sign of the guy anywhere. Bridgette and I suddenly looked at each other in alarm.
"The others," We gasped.
"Do you know your way back?" The older man asked.
"Yes, come on," Bridgette said. Slowly we all made our way down the rest of the slope and headed into the forest. Bridgette and I knew our way like the back of our hands as we led the way through confidently.
"Are you sure you know the way?" Justin asked.
"Of course, we're not stupid, we did mark our path," Bridgette said.
"With what?" Tyler asked.
"My hair ties," I said.
"Creative," The older man complimented. We hurried our way through the forest with Bridgette and I leading the way without hesitation. Suddenly we all stopped as a horrible scream ripped through the air. After it ended we just stood frozen for a few moments.
"That was Sadie," I whispered. Second and third screams made us all started running through the forest. Finally we arrived at our makeshift and found...
