Chapter 5
Disclaimer: I do not own anything but the story plot and a couple of characters.
Nate, Shane, and Brown were driving to where they believed Mitchie was. They tracked her phone to an empty cabin far enough away they didn't look for her there but close enough to get their demands easily.
They crept up to the cabin and looked around the corner. They saw a group of men getting into a car and driving off. Shane didn't see Mitchie with them so he became hopeful that she was still in there. He gets a text after he had already snuck inside and didn't realize it at the moment.
Shane was too busy trying to find Mitchie. He finds a locked door and sees keys on the outside. Nate whispers "Hey check your phone real quick."
Shane nods and sees 2 messages from Mitchies phone. He looks at the first one and sees, "Too Late. Now you will have to find her yourself."
Shane quickly looks at the other message, "Shane help me."
Tears started streaming down Shane's face and he puts the key in the lock and turns it but it doesn't open. He bangs on the door and yells her name. When he doesn't hear a response he slides down onto the floor crying softly.
He hears a soft whisper and listens closer and hears…Mitchie. He bangs on the door and tries his hardest to open the door but knows he has failed her. He looks over to Nate and Nate gently moves him away from the door.
Nate turned the key the other direction and the door clicked open. Shane rushes in and sees Mitchie so he quickly closes the door and tells Nate, "Hold on please."
Nate agrees because he hears the desperation in Shane voice. Shane looks back at Mitchie and sees the girl he loves on a bed in a tight white shirt and short shorts. She has bruises and cuts all over her body. He walks over to her and gently touches her arm. She flinches in her sleep then wakes up. She sees Shane and flings herself into his arms. He pulls her back and takes off his hoodie. He puts it on her and then pulls her back to him. The hoodie is big on her. He whispers, "I found you, Im sorry that it took so long."
She touches the scar on his face and whispers back, "Im sorry."
She falls back asleep in his arms. Shane opens the door and walks out the room. Nate gasps at Mitchies condition and then says, "Im sorry. I wish I had thrown out that idea earlier. I had been thinking about it since her…"
Nate stops speaking when Shane looks him straight in the eyes. Shane whispers, "She was kidnapped, tortured, and who knows what else, yet, she apologized for hitting me hard enough to leave a scar. While I was worried about her she was worried about me."
Nate puts his arm around Shane shoulder and says, "Let's go before they even think of coming back."
Shane lets Nate lead him and Mitchie to the car. He sits in the back with Mitchie still asleep in his arms. He closes his eyes and finally relaxes knowing Mitchie is safe. He falls asleep quickly. When Shane wakes he smiles knowing Mitchie was in his arms but the smile fades as he spots bruises in places he didn't notice before. While looking at them he notices Mitchie starting to shake and so he brings her a little closer. He whispers soft and sweet, "Hey it will be alright Mitchie. I am here and I will always protect you."
She slowly stops shaking and after he sees her relax he sighs. He decides to look up and see if Nate is still awake. He sees Nate looking at him and it makes him uncomfortable so he glances at Brown driving before returning his gaze to Mitchie. He shifts slightly. Mitchie whimpers and he pulls her as close as possible while still being comfortable. Soon enough they are back at camp. Brown tells Shane, "Bring her to the First Aid Cabin then meet up with me and Nate to figure out a plan on keeping people away from her for now."
Shane nods, gets out the car, and head to the cabin. Luckily when he gets there the nurse is still awake because of a stomach flu camper. Shane puts Mitchie as far away as possible from the stomach flu camper. He tells the nurse, "If anything happens I am in my uncles Cabin." The nurse nods then Shane leaves to start planning.
