《Those Darn Sexy Kidnappers》Escaping...Hopefully

"Scared?" I turned to Kenzie.
"Are you serious?" She responded. "When am I never not scared."
I mentally slapped my forehead before slimming off the window ledge.
For a minute, I was airborne. Then I smacked into the dirt face first.
"Oof!" I wheezed.
"LOOK OUT!" Kenz cried. I tried to scoot away, but she slammed down on top of me.
"Oof!" I wheezed again.
"Sorry," She whispered and rolled off me. I climbed back onto my feet before pointedly brushing myself off.
"Let's go," I said and began jogging into the trees. The house was surrounded on all sides by a massive forest, but hopefully there was a fast food place close by.
We ran for about fifteen minutes before I froze. I could hear faint crunching of leaves and people talking.
I pulled Kenzie over to an oak tree and ordered, "Climb."
"What?" She looked at me incredulously. "I've never climbed a tree in my entire life!"
"Then I guess it's time to learn," I ushered her up the first branch. As she climbed I followed close behind, telling her where to put her feet and hands.
Finally, we were both perched on one of the highest branches. And just in time.
My kidnapper and two other guys burst into the clearing looking around.
"Their scent stops here," A guy with shaggy blonde hair said looking puzzled. Hey! That was the guy I ran into in the bathroom! Small world.
"Then they have to be around here somewhere," My kidnapper, Jason I remembered, concluded.
I turned to ask Kenz but then, the worst thing happened.
I lost my balance.
I tipped to my left and my feet slipped off the branch. My hands scrambled for purchase but I couldn't grasp anything and I cried out as I tumbled down the tree until finally my back slammed into the ground.

I fell in between the two other guys, who were staring at me as if I'd grown another head.
"Oh, Hey," I wheezed. "Didn't see you there."
"Really," The one on the right drawled. He had the shaggy blonde hair and bright green eyes. "Nice excuse, bathroom girl."
"Bathroom girl?!" I exclaimed indignantly. "That's the best you came up with.'' I drew my knife and pointed the tip at him as Kenzie dropped to the ground, landing next to me. I climbed swiftly to my feet.
''Where did you get those?" Jason asked.
I opened my mouth but Kenzie beat me to it. "We found them in a locked chest under a bed."
Jason's eyebrow shot up and it was my turn to slap my forehead.
Jason looked at me, "You look tense, sweetheart."
"You just have that affect on people," I retorted.
"We should probably be heading home now," Blonde guy spoke up. "Nasty things come out at night."
"Like you guys?" I countered.
Blondie narrowed his eyes at me, "You should respect your elders, that's what I always say."
I narrowed my eyes back, "You know what I always say? Don't talk to strangers."
Jason looked at me and mock pouted, "Strangers? You wound me."
"Besides, either way you two are coming with us," The one on the left piped up. He had brown hair and hazel eyes and a slight scar on his forehead.
"Come and take us then," Kenzie grinned with that mischievous glint in her eyes. Dang, I love that glint.
Jason strolled over to me and I quickly aimed my knife at his head. For a moment I considered running, but he would probably catch up to me.

Then, Jason ran towards me.
Two days worth of self defense classes, don't fail me now!
I swiftly stepped to the side and hooked out a foot, tripping him. He stumbled and for a moment, looked impressed, and then came at me again. This time I didn't dodge fast enough and he tackled he to the ground.
After he grabbed my knives and tossed them away, his hands hit the dirt on either side of my head and wiggled his eyebrows. I was in quite the pickle. It I tried to surge upwards, I would crash into his his chest.
"Chutes and ladders," I complained, deciding not to comment on that.
"Nice try," He winked.
I stretched my arm out as far as it could go towards the knife, straining my fingers, all while he looked at me in amusement. With a huff I gave up.
I am toast.

I'm a hero? Nope, familiar
Currently on hiatus (short one, I need a break) Ever wanted to be summoned as a hero? Ever wondered when that doesn't work as planned? Well Niles didn't want to either, but both happened to him. Watch as he gets to learn about how much summoning, magic, monsters, and how people can just ruin his day. Hello, author here. I'm new to this, and this is my first fiction. I'm rather bored so I am doing this for fun, but I don't mind learning. If you notice any mistakes in grammar, spelling, plot, etc. Don't hesitate to tell me :) I'll update the tags as the story gets further.
8 117Crimson Gloom
Crimson Gloom. The time when the moon turns crimson, illuminating the landscape with its crimson glow. The time when the ‘doors’ to the Crimson Abyss open. One shall gaze into the abyss and gain its secrets and powers. Concurrently, the abyss also gazes into oneself, gaining one’s sanity and humanity. Dimensional rifts appeared spontaneously on Earth, bringing otherworldly demons along with the Crimson Gloom. Bloody battles were fought, noble sacrifices were made. Humans eventually sealed the rifts and successfully defended their homeworld. Alas, the seals were not perfect. The Crimson Abyss continued to exist, slowly influencing Earth and its inhabitants. Half a century of relatively uneventful years passed… humanity slowly descended into corruption, and the majority of them knew nothing of the effects of the Crimson Abyss. Is there only the dreadful gloom left to the world? Can one find brightness in the increasingly gloomy world? The youth who had gazed into the Crimson Abyss had no answer, nor did he care. He only wanted the Crimson Gloom to end, to forever seal the Crimson Abyss. A mistake and a twist of fate led the youth into a seemingly totally different direction. Will he forget his lifelong goal? Will he instead step back onto his initial path that he fervently pursued? Disclaimer: I do not own the image on the cover. Image edited on canva.com. This piece of work, after all, is only a first draft and by no means an end product by an amateur (beginner) writer. Mistakes are bound to happen. With that said, I will strive to improve as I write. Feel free to point out errors and inconsistencies as you read. I thank you for your time. Finally, I pledge to not rewrite this novel until the first draft is completed.
8 141If only...
There are opportunities that come only once in a lifetime. These fleeing moments we are afraid to grab, fearing the consequences, of our actions, afraid that something might go askew and we may end up losing everything we have. But let's just think about it a little. Isn't regretting doing something easier than regretting not doing it and wondering for the rest of your life about what would have happened if i had done it?
