I've decided to come back on this account xD)

-

Chris followed closely behind Annika. He watched the mansion go out of view and the horizon becoming a very green view, "This is a pretty path".

yay!)

-

Annika nodded at his words though her mind was full of ways to escape should anyone be following them. "your brother doesn't have your location somehow right?"

Chris reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone that was going off wildly, "Umm....." he dropped the phone and grasped Annika's hand charging towards a direction that seemed suitable, "We gotta do anything to get away from that monster" he yelled out as he ran.

She pressed on. her sundress was sorta in the way so she grabbed the bottom hem of fabric and ripped it with her teeth, tearing it so it was short around her thighs. She dropped the fabric. "We need to make a sharp turn so they don't think were in a straight line." she quickly ducked under some brush, covering their tracks with some thick leaves then running again

Chris followed Annika but stopped suddenly, "I'm sorry....... it would've been easier if I had done what he had asked....but I just couldn't get myself to do, I would hurt you..." He shifted uncomfortably and looked up into Annika's eyes, the same peaceful look was still piercing her eyes and he relaxed, "Where does this lead us too?" he said quickly changing the topic.

"Chris. I don't blame you. You did what would keep us both together." she smiled and looked down at the ring. "We'll be together forever because of it." She looked down the trail. "There used to be a small sream not far from here. If we can get there then they won't be able to get to us"

Chris smiled at the ring and followed Annika. Soon a small clearing came into view and a small stream. Chris looked behind him and focused on the tiny speck of a mansion in the distance. He heard shouting off in the distance and so grabbed Annika’s hand before entering the freezing murky water. The water stung his legs like knives, and he fought the urge to turn back. He lifted his foot onto the dry ground and pulled himself up before pulling Annika up as well. “You wouldn’t happen to have a cottage or something far away?” He let go of Annika’s hand and paced in front of her trying to come up with a plan, “Well, we can’t stay here….. We can’t go back to my mansion or yours” Chris glanced on the ground and noticed a small daisy growing up among the weeds, Chris picked the flower and walked towards Annika, he placed the small flower in her hair and smiled, “We’ll work something out”.

Annika winced and grit her teeth as the water made her toes go numb. "Not that I know of. I'm not Snow White or Sleeing Beauty" she said. She blushed and stared into his eyes as he placed the daisy in her hair.

“We’re just gonna have to keep going until…until… I dunno” he sighed, “but we need to get going” the shouting had increased now and Chris could make out the voice of his brother James. The bloodcurdling screams chilled Chris’s bones, he grasped Annika’s hand and raced towards the dense bush.

Annika shuttered at the sounds coming from her home. If her mother and brother were hurt she sisn't know what she would do. "Go go go" she muttered as they ran
