My Mothers Boyfriend

Scared

Devan and me just stared everywhere for about 30 minutes. The truck wasn't to be seen or heard. Devan wanted to run but I knew that wasn't a option. The truck would be waiting for us or more like Austin would. He doesn't know it's me here but would he care? He said himself he dosent mind killing. That scares me a bit...my mother the most...did she know? Her husband was a killer!? I stayed calm on the outside but I was having a heart attack on the inside. I wanted to go but there was just woods. I would get lost or me and Devan would anyway... plus what if it was just a dead end...either way we had to get out without being seen. I had no idea if that was possible but I guess we had to try...

"What do we do!? Just sit and wait to be killed!?" Devan said getting angry from being scared. 

"I'm thinking ok? The way here all we passed was woods for a good 50 miles...so either way we're surrounded by woods..." he looked even more scared

"So what? We wait here till the truck comes back ever?" I frowned at that but it did seem like a good idea...but who knows it might never come back...

"Ok ok...we can't stay here any longer...its gonna get dark soon. And I'm not in the mood to be eaten. I just don't want to walk all the way there and the truck was waiting for us the whole time...but your right we need to move before it's too late and the animals or the truck finds us...lets go towards the cabin some more and then travel to the side. That way we can't risk being seen." Devan thought for a second

" what if he is walking the woods?" Devan said scared

"Then we need to be quiet."I said shaking at just the idea of running into him...that's something I don't want to do...

"Ok then let's move" Devan said getting up slowly and quiet. Then reached his hand out my way.  He pulled me up and we went twords the cabin. Once it was near sight but not to much we began to walk trew the forest on the side. 

"Do you think that was your moms boyfriend?" Devan asked shaking and very quiet

"I don't know but if it was I had to get her away...if that is him and he pulled a girl buy her hair into the cabin and then we heard a gun shot...there is no telling what will happen..." I said scared for my mom...

" well when we get out of here I want to go see her..." Devan said quiet but serious 

"Can we even bring that up?" I asked kinda shocked

"Well if we want her to be safe she needs to leave...just in case " Devan said kinda having a point 

"But what if that's not Austin?"I said shaking 

"Well if the address was in the garage were no one but him was aloud to go...and that guy looks just like him then..." Devan had another point but how could I be so sure?

"I guess your kinda right..." I said with a sigh.

We walked about a hour now just silent. We've been walking for almost 3. I looked at my watch and saw 5:36 on it. The sun goes down at 6:30 and we were in sight of nothing but trees...basically we were screwed...

"Time to break the silence." Devan said with a smile 

"Ok...I think we walked for enough...maby we should start heading out twords the road more." I said worrying About night fall.

"I don't think we should just yet..." he said still walking 

"But it's night will be coming soon..." I said scared...

"Hmm...well we can climb a tree?" I sighed

"Yea we will be visible when the un hits us in the morning...not to mention if we can sleep and just in case we might want to stay awake?" He looked over kinda like "really?" 

"Well I'm getting tired and if we're up high much can't happen... and we're behind leaves..." he said still trying

"So what if one of us falls out?" I said playful 

" do we really need to argue about this? I'm tired and scared and all you wanna do is keep walking" he said sounding kinda tired.

I just didn't want anything to happen us and I guess he couldn't understand that the way I did so I decided to tell him that we could stop and we can stay in a tree for a little bit and hope nothing solace but not all hopes come true this one sure didn't and it will never be the same.
