Chapter 15
They walked slowly away from the tree thinking that this all was a nightmare. "She can't," said Hannah choking back the tears,
" Go any farther this is where we're on are own." The white squirrel slowly scampered her way back to the giant tree; with Hannah watching eyes full of tears. Kathleen couldn't think of anything to say so she just hugged Hannah instead.
"I'm fine you guys really you don't have to act like I'm a baby!" Hannah yelled pulling away from Kathleen's hold. Without looking back Hannah took off running.
"Hannah" Kathleen called after the running figure. With a worried look Kathleen glanced back at Chandra; Chandra had the same expression.
"Come on" Chandra said, "Lets go get her." They both ran off the way Hannah had gone calling her back. Hannah ran as hard as she could her tears streamed down her face; her breath came uneven as she pushed her self to run faster. Chandra and Kathleen started to panic they weren't sure now where to look for Hannah. They searched in a general area yelling her name hoping she would hear. Hannah didn't hear the calls, nor know where she was; she just kept running.
"Its no use" breathed Kathleen "We wont be able to find her."
"Don't say that we'll find her" encouraged Chandra. They continued looking for Hannah yelling her name and their voices becoming weaker. Hannah ran blinded by her hot tears though her breath came faster and a pain entered her side she kept running. Wait thought Hannah coming to and abrupt stop, what am I doing! She franticly looked around trying to remember what direction she had came from, her face full of fear she started to yell again.
"Chandra! Kathleen? Where are you!" she collapsed onto the damp forest floor and cried her self to sleep.
Kathleen and Chandra had walked for almost an hour and there was still no sign of Hannah, their yells hadn't gone unheard though. There was a rustle in the bushes behind Kathleen and Chandra.
"Hannah?" Kathleen said meekly "Is that you?"
"No" said a form climbing out from behind the bushes. "Do I look like a Hannah to you?"
"Who are you?" said Chandra jumping in his face using a stick for protection. Kathleen caught on and grabbed a sick of her own. "I don't know who you are mister but you better state your name and go about your business." Said Kathleen harshly
"Girls, Girls, I thought you would have more manners then this." Spreading his hands out wide he answered the question. "I am Alexander and my business is that with the queen." He quickly moved forward and grabbed the girls in his already out stretched arms. "And the queens business is you." He fell backwards into the bushes that he had emerged out of and the plunged down a deep hole. It had happened so fast they hadn't had time to scream.
