Hunted
Ricky Turner spent almost every morning jogging through the forest paths and today was no exception. As Ricky was approaching the end of the first path, he slowed his pace as to not tire himself out. He knew there were still four more paths. Ricky practically walking toward the second path begins to catch glimpses of movement coming from inside the trees. In these woods movements in the trees never scared him he always wrote it off in his brain as an animal, this time he went with a deer. It was dark in the forest as the morning sun continued to raise, the only sounds were Ricky's feet clashing against the limbs that had fallen onto the path and the birds chirping. He began to pick up speed as he reached the middle of the trail as to make up time for walking longer than normal.
Ricky couldn't shake the feeling of being watched as he ventured through the forest. In his periphery he kept seeing the movement, and it wasn't the normal animal roaming through the bushes movement either. His heart began to pump faster as his feeling of being watched turned into being stalked. He ran faster trying to reach the villa, his safe haven. As he was approaching the clearing to the villa, his fear began to dwindle once he saw the guest houses where he and his father lived. His fear jolted back into him as a person jumped out from a tree along the path and grappled him to the ground. Trying to defend himself Ricky began to throw punches at his attacker. His efforts become relentless as the attacker covered his mouth with a rag. The substance on the rag caused Ricky to black out in seconds, unable to defend himself against his attacker.
The attacker now with a defenseless victim decides what to do next. All the fun, torturous, things he could do to this man. The attacker contemplates whether to make Ricky's death quick and relatively painless or whether it should be a long drawn out death which could in fact have plentiful amounts of pain. All of the contemplating aside they knew what to do with this one. Securing chains and cinderblocks the attacker brings all of their equipment to the river. After tying the chains to the cinderblocks, they then tie them to Ricky's feet. Minutes later Ricky gets plunged into the water.
Ricky awakens at the instant he hits the water confused at where he is. He gasps for air, but only begins filling his lungs with water. Knowing he will soon perish he begins reflecting on his life. As he is close to passing out he sees cars crossing the bridge overhead. He makes one final attempt at being found by extending his hand out of the water. His effort is futile as he suffocates and his arm collapses back into the water without a savior.
I wrote this chapter after the 2nd and part of the 3rd.
I hope my writing isn't as bad as I think it is.
At the end of every chapter I will list all of those who died even from the previous chapters.
