25 Chapter 24: Escape from the den.

Jazlyn p.o.v

Two things, there are two things I detest right now. One, keeping me against my will for something I still have no idea of and two, knocking the hell outta me.

What are these people up to? And who are they. Genevieve thinks I am stupid to believe her lies, ohh they have something else coming.

My head and neck hurts from whatever Max injected me with and my sight was blurry. And I can't even sit straight without tumbling forward.

"Jazlyn." I heard a voice call, it sounded familiar. Genevieve. My lord I will so much kill that witch, I don't care what she is but I will so much deal with her.

"What do you want from me?" I snarled at her, she walked gracefully in front of me her gown train dragging behind her, then she squat.

"Nothing my friend, I just need you to be in your best that's all."

"Bullshit then why did you knock me out?" I yelled at her.

"Lower your voice I am right in front of you and to answer your question you were stressing over nothing, so max had to put you to sleep. Do you feel better?" She asked in a fake concerned tone. I knew behind those beautiful eyes was a dark and cunning soul.

"Well thanks for your not so kind help I feel like I had been hit by a tractor." I mocked, still mad at all of them. How could they do such thing to me, what did I do to deserve it and think they are helping me. This is just insane.

"Do you wish to stay?" She asked. okay that question got me thinking, was she for real?.

"What are you up to?"

"Nothing, I noticed you've been wanting to go home, you've also complained quite a few times and it would be unfair to keep you longer than you wanted." She smiled a bone chiling smile which gave me creeps.

"Longer than I wanted? I never wanted this and I have complained since day one I wanted to go home but you guys keept me here against my will, saying I quote 'you need to know your potentials and abilities before they are used against you shit'." I imitated her voice.

"You don't have to be mean Jazlyn Roxanne, did we tie you like an animal? did we treat you bad? No Jay, be grateful we are far nicer." With that she left me where I was cold and confused.

"I need to get away from this lunatics." I whispered to myself.

*****

It was nightfall and I'm sure everyone was asleep, I gathered some clothes and more food for my escape journey. I haves studied the times and place the quade would be which I used to my advantage for tonight's escape.

Genevieve and Cody usually sit by a bonfire about three miles from here, I could see the smoke go up the sky from a distance. And Max, he always stayed in the basement doing god knows.

I let out a deep breath and sprint out into the tall trees of the forest and hid behind one of them. For a moment I looked back to see if anyone was following me before continuing deeper into the brightly lit forest, the forest was lit up by the bright moon making it more easier to see.

I had no idea where I was going or why awaits me but I let my instincts guide me. There was this strange feeling in my bones telling me what to do, I felt reluctant to listen at first but embraced it later on. I need as many guide as I can to get out of this strange forest.

"Move left" It told me and I did. "Take five more steps and make a U turn. It felt weird to listen to an unknown voice in your head that could lead you possibly to your untimely death. But I had a strange assurance this was not a joke, that this voice was actually helping me.

I followed the instructions of the voice until I came across a path having three directions. Go left, take five more steps and make a U turn. I rehearsed the lines and followed them. The night was still bright making it more easier to see.

With each step I took I felt a presence surround me, the feeling got stronger and I could not take it, so I turned around and the breath got knocked out of me and I landed flat on the dusty path.

"Oh Jazlyn I thought you were dead." I heard Aimee's voice. I Relaxed when I discovered she was the one who tackled me to the ground and shook her off me.

"Gosh you are so heavy Aimee what did you eat?" I dusted my clothes and carried my bag on my shoulder.

"Baked beans and egg, what else do you think I would eat." We both bust into laughter and I looked up to see her, instead I saw something or rather someone I did not expect to see.

"What is he doing here?" I snarled looking behind Aimee.

"He was the mastermind behind this search for you and-" I cut her.

"You! how dare you come here after all you did!" I lunged at him but he caught my hand before it met his face, twisting it behind my back and turned me so my back was leaning against him.

"You should be thanking me instead, it was I who found you and should thank your stars for that." He hissed in my ear.

"Get your hands off me you stupid bonehead bonker." I said gritting my teeth together.

"Watch your mouth I warn you." Shawn spoke calmly. This was so unusual of him, being calm was the least in fact it is not in his dictionary.

"Let me go!"

"No."

"I said let me go!" I struggled in his arms and he let go of me pushing me forward.

"What was that for?"

"You said let me go." He said not caring of his tone.

"You son-"

"So how did you escape Jazlyn?" Aimee asked me dragging my attention from killing Shawn.

"What?" I snapped accidentally at her. "I am sorry Aimee."

"It's okay Jazlyn, just tell me how did you escape your captives?"

"Long story, let's save it for another day. You tell me how are you here and how did you find me?" I asked her happy my best friend was here with me.

"Long story also, Shawn helped me find you. If it wasn't for him I won't have a clue where you were." I held my pride this close to my chest, I wasn't ready to say thank you or appreciate what he thought he did.

"You're welcome." He said.

"I said nothing." I told him.

"I know. That was why I am answering on your behalf."

"Such a jerk." I muttered. Aimee laughed holding her stomach and I raised an eyebrow at her.

"We better go now, you have no idea what we saw in the forest." Aimee made a scary face. Aimee, Shawn and I walked out to a path were a truck was parked.

"You drove here."

"Yeah duh huh who wouldn't."
