Erm…Sorry? Well first of all I had and EMA concert to go to, and I gotta say… Snow Patrol? Awesome! Then, well I had a few controlled assessments and now I'm in th middle of an exam week and I'm supposed to be doing physics notes but my eyes are going to fall out (gravity in action!) LOL so yeah… read and review! Forgo his before DISCLAIMER; DON'T OWN PRIMEVAL 'COS IF I DID CONOR WOULD HAVE DIED FROM BLOOD LOSS FROM ALL THE SCENARIOUS I PUT HIM THROUGH.
"I said-" Connor began to repeat.
"-Look out!" Sarah and Abby stared at each other, and simultaneously set off running. They hadn't got very far when they heard Connor's bloodcurdling scream, and there pace doubled.
By the time they reached the clearing Becker was only just leaping out of a tree and there was blood smeared all across the ground. Becker appeared to be in shock as his hands were shaking and his eyes were wide.
"I couldn't- It just came and-and… I wouldn't stop, why wouldn't it stop?" Abby stared at Becker never had she seen a man crumble in such a disasterous way. Abby felt that sickening knot of dread tighten in her stomach, she took a deep breath and steel herself for the unbearable blow.
"Is he…dead?"Abby prided herself on the minimal shaking in her voice and was instantly disgusted with herself for thinking of such petty matters when the person she loved was… in limbo. However, Abby's question seemed to make Becker aware of the crisis around him and he immediately snapped back a negative. Abby sighed in relief until Becker elaborated that is.
"At least if he died he wouldn't suffer but Connor was alert the whole time, he kept screaming while that-that thing slammed down on everywhere, everything. It was mindless, so… vindictive it was like it deriving some sadistic pleasure from it. It-"
"Becker we need to find him, where did it take him? Please!" Abby was reaching the end of her tether in a few minutes she was going to crumple. Lingering was something she wasn't good at. That's when they heard it. It was very faint, almost undetectable but very real. It was Connor yelling for help. Abby felt her heart soar and took off, flying through the dense undergrowth she stumbled many times but Connor's desperate pleas kept her up. Within minutes she was out in another clearing that had a steep drop off the left. The stench of blood was rife here too.
"Connor where are you?" Abby yelled out.
"Down here!" Abby almost rolled her eyes. Of course he would be in the most difficult place.
"Hold on I'm coming Conn! Is the creature down there?" Abby didn't really care if it was or not, there was nothing ever going to separate her from Connor again.
"Er no, but Abby?" Abby was near the bottom of the hill, she decided it was faster and safer to sit and slide.
"Yeah?" Abby quickly negotiated the last little drop from a rock ledge and found Connor. To say he was worse for wear was an understatement. His clothes were torn and there was several deep gashes on his arms and legs; one of which was bent at weird angle. He must be in agony.
"Dump soldier boy and go out with me will ya?" Connor gave his dopey grin.
"Done and done. Oh and Connor?" Connor's grin had just doubled in size and his eyes were dancing.
"Yea Abs?"
"I love you too."
Finito burrito!
