Chapter 5: Fight
1375 Words
I follow the sound of the scream as I bolt through the woods. Maybe if I get there in time, I can help her escape and then she won’t get hurt. Maybe she might actually be able to leave the game. I know this is hopeful thinking, but everything I have seen thus far has been horrible. Much worse than when I was on the streets even. I don’t want to see the same things happen to her and I don’t want her to get her. Not like Isabella and certainly not like Sara.
I push my way towards a clearing just up ahead and I realize that this is the clearing I was in last night when the hunter grabbed me. I gasp as I find a tree and I press my body into the side as I hear laughter fill the air. There wasn’t just one or two surrounding this girl… There were five, and all five of them looked like they were hungry for her.
I feel my heart race in my chest as I look and try to see who it is. I can’t tell from this angel and I can’t tell from this distance. I look at the tree I am standing next to and realize it is a sycamore. I nod my head as I set my lips and start to climb into its naked, snow covered limbs.
As I start to climb, I hear the scream ring out again as the hunters surround the girl. Once I am high enough up, I realize who it is: Victoria.
I watch in horror as they start to pull on her blonde hair. One hunter grabs her hair and tangles it into his fist while the other one grabs her arm and pins it behind her on the tree.
I feel my heart start to break as she screams out. “Let me go! Please!”
One of the hunters laughs and shakes his head firmly. “Not a chance, bitch.. You belong to all five of us now.”
I feel my blood freeze as I recognize the voice… It belongs to the hunter named Johnson.
“Now, do you want all five of us at once or would you prefer it one at a time?”
Another hunter chuckles low and grabs her chin roughly and pulls it forward. I can see the fear in her eyes from here.
“Nah, Johnson. I vote we each take our time with her… I would love to savor my time with this pretty little thing.” He licks his lips as I watch from my high perch.
The other hunters chime in with their agreement as I see horror and terror run across her face. She shakes her head firmly from side to side as she tries to speak. “No! Please, n-!” Her words are cut off by a different hunter grabbing her throat.
“Hush, now, you little slut… You’re going to belong to all five of us one way or another. Do you understand?” He rubs his thumb down her windpipe as I see him smirk all the way up here. “You’ll be a good little girl, won’t you?”
She tries to whimper but nothing comes out as this new hunter presses down hard on her windpipe.
“Hey, Smith, you better let up. I don’t think she can breathe,” Johnson says.
The hunter named Smith lets up his grip just a touch and I sigh with a bit of relief as I see the color come back to her face.
“Sorry, boys. I didn’t mean to almost kill her.”
I swallow hard as I continue to watch in horror. Johnson smirks and shakes his head. “I mean, if you had, we could still f**k her, we just wouldn’t be able to get a pup out of her.”
There is that word again. A pup? What the hell do they mean?!
A growl rips through the still air as I watch in utter horror as two of the guys push their way to the front and push Victoria hard against the tree.
“She is ours,” they say together.
A weird standoff happens between the two and the other three. I swallow hard as I hear their voices. They sound so similar and they look a lot alike too. Are they brothers? Twins maybe? I have no idea, but I watch as the two of them sandwich her between them and I hear something animalistic come out of the two of them. A primal growl that rocks me to my core as I see them start to grope her possessively.
“She belongs to us,” they say again, and I don’t know what to do or how to help her. She is surrounded by five hunters… What should I do? What can I do?”
“Please… Please, don’t do this to me… Please don’t kill me, please!” She is begging the two that have her right now as she looks over at the other three surrounding her. “Please!”
I watch as tears form in her eyes and they start to slide down her cheeks. She starts to search the surrounding tree line and her eyes land on me. I feel my body shiver as she locks onto me and screams. “HELP ME!!! PLEASE!!!”
I swallow hard as I make up my mind. I’m going to help her. No one should have to suffer through that. Not even someone that I am trying to beat in this horrible f*****g game.
I step out further onto the limp I am standing on. I pick up a branch and I throw it at the group and I end up striking the one they call Smith in the back of the head. He growls as he rubs the back of his head and he starts to look around at the treeline.
“HEY! I’m over here!”
They scan harder as I step further out onto the limp and I throw another stick at them. This one hits the guy they call Johnson in the face. I hear him growl and I feel my body shiver.
What the f**k am I doing?!?!
I get their attention and I see three of them turn away. Johnson, Smith, and a third one start to focus solely on me.
I jump down out of the tree and stand there for a minute as I push my shoulders back. I don’t move forward, but I make sure that I don’t show them that I am going to run. Not yet, anyway.
“I’m right here! Come get me if you think you f*****g can!” I hold my hands out to my sides and glare at the three of them. I have to be brave. I have to help her. I can’t just stand by and let her be raped by five f*****g bastards!
Smith, Johnson, and a third guy turn around and I see something shift inside of them. Their eyes seem to change as they start to move towards me. Without any hesitation, I take off running back into the woods.
“Come on, boys! Let’s get this little b***h!”
I run quickly through the snow covered woods as I know I am starting to blend into the trees. I am doing my best to cause as much noise as I can in order to get them to follow me. I feel them running behind me as I hear them crashing through the woods after me. I feel my heart pounding deep in my chest as I turn back to look at them.
Just as I do, I run face first into a tree… Or what I thought was a tree.
Two very strong and very large arms wrap around me and I gasp. I instantly start to squirm and try to get away.
“Now, now, little bunny… I’ve got you again.”
I freeze as I hear the voice. That rough and ragged and sexy as hell voice. I look up slowly and into the golden eyes of the hunter from earlier.
Fuck me…
