Chapter 53: Busted

"Where do you think you're going?!" The person up above them yelled.

"Run for it!" Derrick shouted and the kids started running as fast as they could.

They all turned and tried to run back the way they had come from earlier. There was an audible thump, as something heavy landed on the ground behind them. Then the sound of heavy footsteps quickly approached them. Stealing a glance, Hanna turned to see a hand reaching right at her!

"Ahhh!" Hanna screamed as the hand grabbed her by the back of her shirt.

The boys turned back at the sound of her scream, only to see that Hanna was being hoisted off the ground by the assailant. Hanna kicked and struggled to break free, but it was no use!

"What were you doing in there, Hanna?" The person said. It was a woman's voice and Hanna knew it.

"A-Aunt Lisa?" Hanna ventured breathlessly.

"Yes, it's me." Lisa said putting her down.

"Don't scare me like that!" Hanna shouted, but felt relieved knowing they were safe.
