Hey! It's me!

Chatterbox: Inkwell

Hey! It's me!

Hey! It's me! I'm gonna start an add-on story. Anyone can add to it. Please read the story and all the add-ons first before adding though. Thanks! 

Liz looked around her. All she could see were trees, trees, and more trees. This was no help to her at all. She had spent the last two weeks tied up to a chair in the basement of an abandoned log house, and had been fed only a small piece of bread, and a puny bowl of stale milk. That was barely enough for Liz to keep her strength up.

 She may have escaped and was probably inches near civilization, but being in the middle of a forest and having no idea where she was, she was helpless. 

 Liz suddenly thought of being recaptured, but then told herself, "No! Don't think that. I'll find a way out of this forest if it kills me!" 

 Liz wasn't really paying attention to where she was walking while she was thinking this. She knew it wouldn't do her any good to try to navigate her way through this dense woods. But then she thought that it wouldn't do her any good if she got even deeper into the woods. So she stayed alert from then on.

 A few minutes later, she saw someone. Liz thought it was a miracle. She ran toward the person. Shouting, "Sir, or ma'am. Please help me! I've been kidnapped and I don't know where I am. Can you help me?"  the person turned around at her plead, which caused Liz to stop in her tracks. She knew she had made a big mistake.  

 She was facing her kidnapper.

 

 So what do you think? (this is not part of the story) Feel free to add on! But remember to stay on the plot. Liz escaped, but got recaptured. I'll comment on this later. Bye!

"Hi," was the only word from the swiper before he ran after Liz.  If it was just a fun game of tag, then he would have caught her in a flash.  But thanks to adrenalin, Liz wasn't caught until he had a good work out. 

But for the long run after the girl, it came to him that he didn't know where he was.  Somewhere, he knew that.  But exactly where; no idea.  

Liz did.  The woods, near her home.  She could see the bridge across the old stream she crossed exploring the tree-filled place while the napper tied her to her tree.  She had gotten lost in those woods a fortnight ago.  Fallen asleep under the tree she passed five minutes behind.  

If she had just gone a mile and a half more, she would be home.  But once she was getting happy, running from the man, towards the bridge, the adrenalin wasn't working in her system anymore.  No butterflies, no screaming for help.  Part of that was caused by the rag stuck in her non-reachable mouth.  

The kidnapper, who's pack was full with something, threw it onto the ground.  And Liz found out what was in the pack. 

Food.  Water.  Something she neaded to survive.  But all she got was a kick from the kidnapper, who seemed to like kicking things.  

The man reached down and grabbed Liz's ears, pulling them away from her head.  his stinky face was close to her face, now.  "Don't you ever try that again, girl." His scraggly face looked old and worn, even nice, like he didn't want to do any of what he was doing.

Like someone was controlling him.

Yay! That was amazing, Meadow. I'm glad that someone decided to look at this. (In a nice way of course) You should consider being a writer. Unless you already considered that, Wink

I wish I could put something, but I'm having a writer's block right now. Oh yeah, Olive says hi.

U R AN AMAZING WRITER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laughing (I like smiley faces)

O, thank you, Alexa!  *blushes*  I'm not that great of a writer.  You're a great writer!  I think you should also see other people's writing on here.  :D  In my opinion, all of you are better at writing than me.

That's not true! You're a FANTABULOUS writer. And if you've seen some of my previous work, I'm sure you'd understand that I usually am NOT a good writer. Embarassed Smile on!
