Yo! :D
So, here's Part 2 - but a little warning before you read: this isn't all fluffy and sweet, 'kay? Not everything is resolved by the end of it - but I think it's a little more authentic this way.
Anyways: read on! :P
Cammie's POV:
I didn't know where I was going - only that I needed to get out of there - fast.
There was nowhere to run - or hide. That fact quickly became apparent once I was stumbling down the dirt road. Barren wasteland spanned in almost every direction.
Not that running or hiding - for that matter - was a viable option - handcuffs and shackles hampered my every move.
The sun beat down harshly, the heat cracking my lips and baking my skin. But emotionless, I soldiered on. Everything was silent - except for the rythmic, metallic clinking of my chains, and my heart thundering in my ears, as I slowly jogged away.
Away from what? You ask.
Away from everything.
Away from hope, from reason. Away from the man I loved. Away.
~BETRAYAL~BETRAYAL~BETRAYAL~
After a few hours, the acute hunger and fatigue began to get to me - worse than before. My legs gave out from under me, and I collapsed at the side of the road. It was there, trying to summon enough strength to get back up, that I heard him.
"Cammie," Zach called from a few metres back.
I flinched at his voice.
He walked up to me and - surprisingly - swiftly cut my wrists and ankles free with a pair of bolt cutters he had been carrying.
When he was done, crouching beside me, his eyes met mine.
My heart fluttered feebly.
Despite what he's done, all the lies he's spun, I still want him, I thought ruefully.
"You're free," he said simply.
~BETRAYAL~BETRAYAL~BETRAYAL~
I finally got up, legs almost buckling under my weight.
There beside Zach, I stood. And, even though my bonds were broken, I was free, I knew I couldn't go.
Because how can you run? How can you hide from the one you love?
Even if he is the enemy, the one you should be running from, I thought bitterly.
I know it's short too! :'( I'm sorry, I thought it was longer.
Please lemme know what you think!
There is a slight chance of me adding another chap or two - I've just had a few brainwaves - but don't hold your breath - I'm a really atrocious person at updating at times (which, by now, I'm sure you've gathered! ;)
Anyways,
Thx.
