"Where the hell am I?"

Mindy was starting to question her actions. Her plan was to only wander the forest for a bit before heading back onto the main road and hopefully flagging someone down. She didn't want to take the chance of being caught by Jonah. If she was to have immediately gone on the main road, she was sure that was where he would have headed first once he found out about her missing. But now she was lost.

"Oh god, how long have I been circling around for?"

Her nerves were getting the best of her and all she can do was talk to herself to keep her company from the all too quiet forest.

Her muscles ache and her stomach was crying nonstop. Skipping out on breakfast did her no good on this escape plan.

"It has to be at least noon or later now." She said looking up past the tree branches where the sun was high up in the sky now.

"Ahhhh why do I have such bad luck?!" she groaned.

*****

Jonah has been searching all day for Mindy to no avail.

"Where the hell did she go?" he was heavily breathing. He's been running between trees nonstop.

He knew his was around pretty well as long as he follow the stream of water he can find his way back to his place. But he had no luck in finding her. The sun was quickly setting and if it gets dark, he definitely won't be able to find her.

*****

"What am I gonna do?" Mindy was scared now.

The sun was setting and there was no way in hell she can survive a night in the wood. Sitting now on a log she takes in her surroundings.

"I feel like I've been here already. Ugh I can't believe I'm actually saying this but ogre come find me!" Huffing out a breath she closes her eyes and starting praying.

*Bang! BANG!*

"Ahh!" jolting up, she was caught surprise by the loud sound.

"Gun shot. Those were gun shots. Oh god, you answered my prayers sooner than I expected. Thank god." She runs towards the noise.

"Jonah!" she shouts a little too excitedly.

Running into a small clearing, she sees a tent set up and a fire burning next to it.

"Not Jonah. Campers?"

Regardless she was happy to come in contact with civilization again.

"Well, what do we have here?"

A vulgar male voice came from behind her. Mindy carefully turns around and came face to face with a chubby bearded man in his late 20s. He was dressed in camouflage wear with a rifle in his right hand.

"Ah hunter" she thought.

The way he was eyeballing her from head to toe brought a sickening feel to her stomach.

"Hi, ummmm... I got lost. Do you have a phone I can borrow? Or perhaps show me the way out of the woods?" She nervously asked gulping down her saliva.

"Ain't got a phone. Ain't no reception out here. Too far from the main road." He replied shifting his rifle.

Her eyes drifted to the rifle he was holding.

"Okay. Well can you at least give me directions?" She decided that she was definitely frighten of the man in front of her. "Or just point me the right way."

"Hahahaha" his laughter filled the silent forest. "My you're a beauty, I can have fun with you."

"Never mind I'll just get going now." She said before turning around right into someone's chest.

Looking up her eyes settle on a pair of cold brown ones.

"I'm sorry," she quickly says backing away from the man.

This one was dressed in similar wear but looks to be older in his late thirties. He was in much better shape than the man behind her. But his cold stare and stern face frighten her more than the first man.

"Looks like we found ourselves a lost kitten big brother," the chubby one said to the scary one.

Mindy moves her body away from being caught in a sandwich between the two guys backing away from both of them.

"She's so cute. Let me take her first." The chubby man stalks towards her.

Mindy was frighten out of her mind. "How am I gonna get out of this one?"

"Larry." The scary one said to the chubby one. "Stop being rude."

"Phew I guess he's nicer than he looks." Mindy thought.

"You know your older brother gets the first go." He finished.

"Guess not!"

"You always get them first Kyle." Larry complained but knew better than to go up against his brother. Instead he retreated to the woods.

Mindy had a pretty darn good idea on what they were talking about and she needed to think of a plan fast. Kyle had started moving towards her.

"Don't come close to me. I swear you're gonna regret it." She tried threatening him.

"Oh and what can a pretty little thing like you possibly do to me?"

"Not me b..bu...but my boyfriend! He's out looking for me right now and I'm sure he's not far behind. He's real tough and can take both of you down. I swear he's as strong as an ogre!" she continued her threats. "Boyfriend. Really? Now is not the time to be arguing with yourself Mindy."

"Haha you're amusing. But I'll be done with you before your ogre boyfriend arrives."

She dashes away but he quickly caught her swinging her little body atop his shoulder. Dropping his own gun in the scuffle.

"Let me go!"

Her feet swings to kick at him but he had a tight grasp on them so she did the one thing that she does best. She sinks her teeth into his back.

"Ahhhh fuck!" he screams in pain dropping her onto the ground.

Mindy swings her right foot and connects it with his groin bringing him down to his knees.

She quickly gets on her feet and starts running only to hit into yet another chest.

"God how many of them could there be?"

She pushes the man away but he wraps his arm around her waist.

"Get off of me!" she said pushing at him again before a too familiar scent caught her nose.

A smile spreads across her face and sigh of relief escape her lips.

"Oh Jonah!" she beamed at the site of him. She wraps her arms around him pulling him into a tight hug as if her life depended on it.

Jonah was taken back a little before returning her hug as well. He too was relief to finally found her at last.

The shuffling behind them brings them back to reality.

"You're gonna pay for this bitch." Kyle grunts.

Mindy spun around to see him getting back on his feet. Before she knew what she was saying she blurted the words,

"Ha you're gonna get it now. This is my boyfriend I was talking about."

Jonah was amused by her speech but this wasn't exactly the right time to address her.

"Shhh be quiet." He shush her. He move his body in front of hers like a protective shield.

"Ha this man is your boyfriend. I'll get rid of him first then I'll handle you." Kyle spitted.

Looking around for the gun he dropped, he eyes the shining pistol on the dirt ground. He rushes forward as did Jonah who gets there first kicking the gun away before landing a punch right in the man's face. Jonah was swift with his steps and fist landing punches and kicks on the man's body.

"Jonah stop or you'll kill him," Mindy huffed.

Jonah lands one last punch before backing away from his limb body.

"What's going on there?" Larry's voice echoed from behind the trees.

"Let's go." Jonah said grabbing her wrists and they started running in the opposite direction.

"Brother what happen?" Larry burst out upon seeing his brother.

"They went over there go!" Kyle slowly gets back up finding his gun before going after them.

Jonah was dragging Mindy along as they make their way through the almost darken woods. Gun shots can be heard closely behind them. Jonah exchanging a few rounds himself.

"I'm so gonna kill you when we get out of this, Jonah threaten Mindy.

"Oh shush all this was your fault in the first place!" she argued.

"Shhh I can hear water." They stop for a second. "This way".

After running for a couple minutes they come upon a water fall triple the size of the one back at Jonah's.

"Water huh. You can hear water? It's a damn cliff with water at the bottom."

"We need to get to the bottom, this river leads to smaller streams the one farthest right leads back to Serene," stated Jonah.

"Well how do you suggest we get down?" she asked. "Wait who's serene?"

"My house. I named her. We have to back track and go around to get down."

Before Mindy can reply a gun shot is heard behind them. The brothers were there each hold a gun pointing at them from afar.

"Give up the girl and maybe you'll get out of here alive." Larry said.

Mindy edge closer to Jonah as he puts himself in front of her again.

"Mindy hold my hands. We're gonna have to jump. It's our only chance of getting out of here alive." He whispered.

"I'm scare Jonah."

"It's okay. No matter what don't let go of my hand okay. When I say now we jump."

"I guess you both die," Kyle hissed.

"Now!" Jonah shouted. Tightening his grip on her hand, they both plunged into the depth of the water below them.

"No fuck!" Kyle shouted. He runs over to the cliff emptying his gun into the river with Larry following his lead. "Stop they're gone. There's no way they survived."
