Jeff dozed as he leaned against a tree.

Lucy then screamed violently in her sleep.
Jeff awoke with a start someone from the camp was screaming. He listened again and knew it was Lucy. He stood ready to dash into the camp, but held back at the last moment.
Jeff awoke with a start someone from the camp was screaming. He listened again and knew it was Lucy. He stood ready to dash into the camp, but held back at the last moment.
In her sleep, Lucy stood up and walked out of the dead; sleepwalking. In her dream, she saw a young boy, taunting and beckoning her out of the camp sight. She followed him, her gait wary. In reality, she was following nothing. Moments before, that same boy was bloody from a broken skull which caused her to scream. She followed him anyway.
Jeff watched as Lucy walked from the camp as if in a trance. She looked injured and his heart was heavy apparently he had not see her to her safety after all.
Lucy stopped abruptly when the boy halted. He turned to her slowly. When she saw his face, Lucy screamed. His eyes were black sockets, oozing out black blood. His jaw hung loosely on it's hinges with jagged teeth. She stepped back as he approached her, her hands out in front of her.
Jeff ran towards Lucy as she screamed. He got to her and still she screamed, she was going to wake the world, so Jeff clasped his hands over her mouth "Shhhhh Lucy, its me Jeff"
Lucy slashed her limps around in her sleep. She then woke up, breathing hard.
Jeff held her tight her body tight from all the tension in her.
Lucy clutched onto the front of his shirt, burying her face in his shoulder as she began to cry.
He did the only thing he could, and held her tight. "Are you okay, you look beaten?"
"I was taken from my home." Lucy said, her crying calming down a little enough to speak.
Jeff was shocked "What, how?" he asked now worried for the entire town.
"They almost banged down my door. I opened and then they took me." She told him, sniffling.
Anger boiled in him "Why would they do that?" he asked as the anger rose in him, his mind unable to grasp what was happening to them.
Lucy began to cry again. "I don't know, Jeff. I really don't know."
"we better get out of here" he said taking her by the hand and leading her into the trees as quietly as he could, unable to believe his luck that no one had awoken to her scrams.
"Hey! Stop right there!" A husky voice screamed at them. Lucy gasped and began to run, holding his hand still.
Jeff broke into a run the darkness all around them. He cursed Lucy's white night gown as he tried to put the distance between the pursuers.
Lucy stopped in front of large tree. "We have to climb." She said to Jeff. A group of men were drawing nearer.
"Climb" he asked and then nodded and cupped his hands to give her a boost up.
She placed a bare foot on his open palms and stepped up into the tree, grabbing a branch.
Jeff climbed up after her his heart racing in panic.
Lucy climbed as high as she could. Her nightgown got caught on a branch. She almost lost her footing but caught herself.
Jeff climb after her a fast and quiet as he could his heart hammering in his chest.
When Lucy climbs as high as she can, she sits on a brach and hugs the thick body of the tree in an attempt to hide herself from the fast approaching men below. She covered her mouth to muffle her rapid breathing.
Jeff looked down as the men rushed by, he had to stifle a sigh of relief, as he didn't want to have the men return.
Lucy whimpered a little with relief as the men ran past them.
Jeff looked up at her concern on his face. At any other time he would have counted himself lucky to find Lucy up in a tree in just her nightgown, but his world had changed and there was no longer time for simple pleasures.
Lucy met his eyes. "Do you think it's safe to go down?" She whispered.
Jeff shook his head and motioned for her to be quiet for a little longer.
Slowly Jeff began to climb down the tree.
Jeff reached the ground and kept a wary eye out as Lucy climbed down.
Lucy hit the crowd in a crotch. She stood up and brushed off her nightgown skirt, which she noticed was ripped up the side of her thigh.
Jeff glanced at her and took he hand "quietly now" he said and led her away from the pursuing men.
Lucy fell silent as he followed him, holding his hand tightly.
They picked their way through the trees looking for something familiar in the forest.
"Where are we going?" Lucy whispered.
"I don't know" Jeff whispered back "Some where safe I hope"
"Jeff, why are you here?" Lucy asked.
"What do you mean?" he asked perplexed by her question.
"I mean, how did you get here?" Lucy asked.
"Ohhhh, I was kidnapped by a group of men that were looking for someone, but I didn't know who it was so they left me for dead."
"You don't know who they were looking for?"
"I have no idea, this whole thing is crazy, you know. We better find someplace safe for the night."
Lucy nodded, stumbling after him. Her entire body ached with fatigue. A cold chill crept down her spine.
Jeff led her to a rocky outcrop and they found a ledge to huddle under for the rest of the night.
