Mr Jamison then looks at my backpack. "In there you will find food, water, a sleeping bag and a torch." He smiles. Mr Jamison smiles a lot. He then checks his massive golden watch. "11:40, you should get going now." He advises. A bomb of fear and nervousness explodes in me. He walks me out into the backyard and we stop at the border of the wire fence that separates the grand mansions backyard to the green dense forest. "You will have 20 minutes before my boys come out, in that time I suggest you try and hide, or get as into the wood as possible, you can go anywhere this whole entire forest is mine." He then takes my wrist gently and plays with the watch. "As soon as I press this button a timer will start to count down from 20 minutes, when it hits zero it will vibrate. Then it will start to count don from 12 hours. And if you try to escape the forest, even if you some how mange to abandon your tracker, I will know and you will be killed immediately" He says seriously.
"Are you ready? 3...2...1." He pushes the button and I run into the forest. My heart beats violently with every step. I knew that the best thing to do was to get into the middle of the woods and find a hiding place. But these boys, they live here, they must know this forest upside down. So should I climb a tree to see how big this forest is? Or would that be eating into my precious time? I check my watch. 5 minutes till I got hunted down. I had been running for 15 minutes, so I must almost be safe now, shouldn't I?
It was not hard to find a good tree that was high and also not so hard to climb. Slowly I climb about 5 meters, then 7, then 9. As I look out I am gob smacked, the forest went all the way past the horizon and from up here it barley looked like I had walked at all. But the forest being this big was not a bad thing at all, it was actually extremely good it meant more hiding spots and less chance that I will bump into the boys. But will the boys hunt for me solo or in a wolf pack. Obviously it would be easier to hunt me down in a pack, but then which of the boys would have the 'glory' of deciding my fait? Which one of them will be able to say to there dad proudly- I found her, I made her cry, scream, and scared as she begged for her life and then I killed her?
I was now out of the tree when my watch started vibrating and some how I could hear their laughs and cheers of excitement as they entered the forest. I did not know where they where come from, if they where coming together or each entering from a different side of the forest, but I knew I this was the part where I needed to run.
I was now being hunted.
