*This is a dream i had a little while ago that i am writing down now in here*

I can't quite figure out where i am. But i knew from the restraint of my body that last night had not been a dream. I must have been knocked out. I couldnt turn my head to look around. I am laying flat on my back staring straight up. What's pinning my head. There's rope around my feat and hands bounding them together against the ground. Then i know from the salty and refreshing breeze coming through the trees indicated an ocean not far from where i was lying. It was dark in the clouded canopy of trees above my head but i caught a glimpse of an dull sunray beam though an opening. I figured that the sun was either setting of just coming up....But i still don't know where i am or how i got hear tied up like this. I hear a sound start faint then grow louder as it approahed. it was the snapping of twigs under feet. Only when it was at my feet did i realize that it was a person. and it had been running. but i still couldnt turn my head or look to see who it was. Finally she spoke in a harsh whispering voice. "Chantelle! We have to hurry. Don't move im going to cut you free!" Then i find my voice. "Cortney!?"
So this isn't a dream. What happened before now. I was at school though. In the hallway before 7th period. Me, Catherine, Jason, Matt, and Cortney happened to be by the door at the wrong moment. A group of five men came through the doors behind us and randomly stood beside us. All we heard was the click of the guns that came from each of them click and one of them begin to yell to grab the girls close at hand. All the while all of the guns were point at the boys of the group. One grabbed Cortney and pinned her to his front, gun infront of her throat. and another grabbed for me. But not as easily. As he reached for my arms i lunged for his face and knocked him back and was about to stomp on his knee when another one caught me and swipped me across the face with the bud of his gun. i slumped in his arms still conscience but hanging heavily blood running down my face.
Catherine was behind Matt so i assumed that they didnt feel like messing with her. Thank God. Mrs. Cox had run in the classroom and i assumed called the security and cops. I noticed Mrs. Hunter was at the end of the hallway with Tyler, Kyle, and Peyton standing there watching with a bunch of other students. Security guards were showing up at the end of the hallway along with all the principals. The one holding me pulled the backpack off of me while the one holding cortney did the same and yelled past my ear to the others to stop coming or i got a bullet to my head. Jason trys to grab me but the boy holding a gun to him stepped in front of him and raised the gun to his forhead. He froze. Then one closest the door opens it and yells that they were taking these two ladies, being me and cortney. They pulled us back out the door and ran to a truck that had just pulled up. The ones without me and cortney still had guns pointed at the door. We are pulled in the bed of the truck with the two boys and another one follows. The other two get in the front seats. The last thing i remember is Cortney yelling to let her go and trying to elbow him and then being knocked out then me.
So here i am now. We must have been taken to the woods and somehow Cortney's managed to break free of whatever type of inprisonment she had been in. She was now cutting the ropes at my hands my feet free. "Where are we? what happened Cortney?" She cut the ropes holding stakes that had pinned my head and pulled me up. "Chantelle, we've been driving all until now. They are pretty stupid. All of them sleeping at once. They thought i wouldnt put up much of a fight after i woke on the truck and didnt do anything else to resist until now. You had woken up when they began to... abuse you. you fought back but they knocked you out again. Do you remember it" i shake my head no but dont doubt it for a second that i didnt. "They pinned you down and simply tied my hands to a post. But now we have to go."
We both look up towards the light that just appeared through the trees. "The ocean." i say. She looks at me and understands that going against the smell from the breeze might lead us out of these trees. So we begin to run.
I had never tasted danger like this before. They could easily catch up to us in the vehicle with us on foot. If they can drive better than plan imprisonment that is. So we keep running sweat pouring down my face into my mouth down my neck. But the sweat should have been absorbed by the t-shirt i was wearing.That's when i realized that my shirt was gone. i was simply in a bra and knee torn, and ripped up jeans. i look over at cortney and see that minus scratches and bruises she still had on the tank top and blue short sleeve chardigan she had when we were taken. nothing bad happened to her in that sense. she was ok. i wondered if i had been as lucky and that i simply looked bad.... probably not.
we keep running. I hear a car begin to roar behind us and i see the look of panic on cortney's face begin to brew. we run faster. i could smell the salt growing stronger. or was it just me. i didnt know. we were coming to the tree's line and the truck was actually getting quieter. going the wrong direction probably. we begin to slow down a bit panting until we came to a stop to catch our breath. "Cortney do you smell the ocean breeze too?" "Yeah Chantelle, which worries me because there's no oceans or lakes close to our school. Which only leaves me even more concerned of where we are." Cortney gives me her blue shirt leaving her with the tank top. i put it on and buttoned it as far as i went which wasnt far because it was made for looks. it stopped right under my bra where you should have seen the undershirt. but it would cover me. We both got quiet and just simply listened to our surroundings. We could hear waves crashing against a coast. After only a few minutes we decided to continue on. But this time we only walked fast still tired from running. It had probably been only half an hour when we arrived at the edge of the trees. We were both relieved and almost felt safe now that we were out in the open.
Something seemed familar though. this place. I look over to my left and see the lake in the distance and the same familar light house i'd seen before. "I have no idea where we are" Cortney whimpers beside me, but i think i do. "I think we are at Canyon Lake. We are in San Antonio" She looks at me realizing that, that means we probably were knocked out for quite some time in the truck. but at least i knew where we were. and i knew where my grandparents house was. i looked down the road. and saw lighthouse ln. "Holy crap we are on my grandparents street! Cortney come on!!!" this couldnt be real. couldnt be so lucky!!! i begin to run down the road and she follows on my heals. Sun was beginning to set. i hoped that at least one of them were home. It was almost two miles away but we ran the entire way until we came up to my grandparents house. her car was here but not my grandfathers. we ran straight to the door and i turned the knob but it was locked. i began to pound furiously yelling grandpa and nana until nana appeared at the door. at first she was confused by the yelling then when she saw us she flung the door open and i launched in her arms. "What happened!?" she yells. i run past her grabbing Cortney by the hand and running straight to thier kitchen counter picking up my nana's cell and call the poice. nana had followed right behind us after she looked out that door closed it then locked it still probably freaked out what had happened. When the poice pick up i begin by telling them that Cortney and i were ok. i didnt have to say much becuase they allready knew who i was from the news which surprised me because we were in a totally different county. then i started at the very beginning and described everything i knew then gave the phone to Cortney where she finished with what she new. the entire time nana was holding on to me and Cortney. i felt relieved that she was so comforting to my friend, cortney when she didnt even know her.
i slumped down in a chair and pulled the shirt around me tighter finally inspecting my entire body. i noticed that there was a bruise, scratch, or deep cut on every part of my body. i was beginning to feel the pain it was causing me that i had ignored until now. Cortney handed the phone to nana where she stated the address of which we were and Cortney looked down at herself then at me. i stood up and brought her to the guest bathroom. i heard nana hang up and was now calling somebody else. probably my mom.
when we walked in the bathroom i say down on the toilet and told her there was towels in the cabniet behind her. Cortney grabbed a clean the towel and wetted it in the sink and cleaned herself with what few injuries she had. i sat with my eyes closed my head leaning against the wall. It wasnt until i felt a towel, her hand on my forhead that i opened them to find her kneeling infront of me. i sat there as she cleaned my exposed body not wanting to move. niether of us spoke. i couldnt find the energy to and im sure she sense that. i closed my eyes close again while she worked on me. i could feel myself slipping from exhaustion. when she finished she set the towel down and grabbed my hand. i stood up slowly and directed her back into the living room. nana was still on the phone. so we sat on the sofa. the last thing i remembered was her leaning on my shoulder and closing her eyes and me resting my cheek on her head there and drifting off to sleep.
When i woke i was in a hospital bed. Cortney still asleep in the bed next to mine. Her boyfriend Chance was sitting at the end of her bed his knees to his chest is elbows on his knees with his forhead resting on his fists. My boyfriend Jason sat next to my bed in a chair my hand in both his with his brought to his head on the bed. no one else was in the room. i took my free hand consumed with iv tubes and stoked his hair. his head shot up so fast. "Baby! Chantelle are you hurting?" i shake my head no and hardly whisper "Cortney. Is she ok?" Jason looks over at her bed. Right then i see Chance spring up as Cortney begins to stir awake at the noise. Chance smiles as she reaches for his hand and i smile knowing that she was ok. I look back into Jason's eyes. Finally i feel secure. Everything's over. i look back to the celing looking staight up and close my eyes in pleasure.

*....... I wake up.*
