I Got You

Somewhere in the forest, standing on the edge of a cliff, Mike heard it too. He glanced up at the mass of safety as it passed over him. He looked at the cliff and turned to run.

He followed the noise and thought that maybe they’d survive.

Suddenly, he ran head-on into someone way smaller than him. They both hit the ground hard. But then Mike looked over her. It wasn’t Demi.

This girl had matted blonde hair with clumps of dirt inside. Her face was just as dirty, but it was her eyes…her eyes. Her eyes were what appalled Mike the most. They looked scared and…familiar.

“Sam?â€? Mike whispered.

Her voice was torn, not anywhere near the same. “Mike.â€?

“Oh my god! Sam! Oh my god! I’m so sorry! Did you hear the helicopter?! Come on! Oh my god Sam! I thought I lost you forever.â€?

“Mike I need—â€? Sam half-fainted and Mike caught her in an instant, cradling her in his strong arms.

“It’s ok Sam. I got you. I got you. I got you. I promise.â€? And he sprinted toward shore with his sister and his tears.
