A hunting past.

Chapter Ten

After the drama ended and I managed to get back my friendship with two people I never though I would have a friendship with again, all in one morning. We all decided to just go to the park and discuss are next move and what to do. Initially, it was Lora's idea, she just thinks its better to be prepared when the time comes to fight back.

"He might be watching us, Lora." I had said not totally disagreeing with her. I think her plan is smart but it might be smarter to do it in a more secluded place.

"So, then- the will trick him to see if he actually is!" she shouted, smiling at her plan. Mark nods at her plan and says, "Yeah, that not a bad idea actually."

So we conjured a plan that wasn't all too bad and now we are at the part of playing it out. The plan is that we make him think that one of us is trying to get another one of us to deceive the other and sell them out, that would be me and Mark. The other are hiding to see if they might spot him if he is close by. Lora is outside in the car watching everything take place from the camera she implanted in each one of our caps so she could see if she might catch someone. Don't ask me where she got them. She wouldn't even answer us.

I look behind me and watch as James gives the hand sign for start and as conspicuously as possible I walk to the swings acting impatient. That's Marks cue to walk in.

"Mark," I breath and smile widely at him when he approaches me. He nods his head and says, "Alex."

"I'm glad you made it." he nods stiffly again and just stands their acting nonchalant. "I have something to tell you." I begin and make a big show of shaking my hands and taking deep breaths, "I want- want to runaway with you."

"What?" he asks, faking surprise. I walk closer to him and say "Lets ditch these losers and leave. We can start over. Far away from all this corruption. We can make a deal with him, convince him to let us go."

"I- I don't know, Al." says Mark, shaking his head, "Are you sure it would turn up alright."

"Yeah, lets leave tonight when know one suspects a thing and when we're safe and in hiding we will make a deal with him." I say and Marks makes a big show of looking convinced.

"I-,"

Crack.

"Get him!" James screams and starts running. We both freeze and when we see a boy, about are age run past us and out the playground. We brake out of out trance and start running after him. Our plan worked. It worked.

The adrenaline pumping in my veins, making me push harder. Run faster. 'We need to get him, we need to' replaying in repeat in my head. I push harder, harder then I ever pushed, and just as I think I am going to get to him. When his just inches away from my hand that reaching out to grab him. I trip and fall, the hope vanishing with me. I crash to the ground and look up in time to watch him get in a van, and then it speeding away.

I just lay in the ground trying to keep myself crying from my failure. You need to stay strong, Lex. I tell myself. Strong.

I stand up and wipe my the dirt off my clothes. Watching as the van drove off in the distance the sound of its wheels screeching letting me know I am not imagining it. Mark joins my sides and sighs harshly. Kicking the tree that's next to him. The others all follow suit and we just stand there watching the van drive further and further away. Taking all our hope of being free with it.

"Aw, Cheer up guys." says a smirking Anne from next to us. "Don't tell me you forgot about the little cams."

We all look at each other not understanding what she saying. Like the words coming from her mouth our not English but a different language but then it clicks. The cams. The ones Lora made us clip onto ourselves.

I run up to her and hug her tightly, "Oh my god. How could we have forgotten?" She shrugs and starts leading the way back to the car where Lora is hiding. If the cameras worked the way they were supposed to maybe all hope isn't lost after all. We make it to the parking lot and reach a smirking Lora looking at a tablet in her hand.

"Did we get something?" asks James, hope in his voice. We all rush over to her eagerly, praying she'll give us good news.

"Oh we got something alright." she smirks and turns the tablet towards us. Mark grabs it and we all come closer to take a better look at the boys face. He has a round face with freckles spread about. He has big round brown eyes and his hair covered by his cap. But I didn't need him to remove the cap to know the colour of his hair.

Brown hair. Brown like his mother and sisters.

A boy from my past.
