The wind ran like there was no tomorrow. It seems to be afraid of something. Tonight was a dark night. It was even darker then the devil himself. Did the wind really think it could run away from the dark? Half of the wind stop, but the other half continues.
"I can't go on anymore. You must run, Clay. Go on without me please," Gavin stopped to catch his breath.
Behind them, they could hear the rough thunder scream and they could also see a dim light mile away.
"No, I'll never leave you," Clay cupped Gavin's right cheek and pulled him in for a kiss. "Never am I going to leave you. Here, get on my back," Gavin think for a minute before he got on Clay's back. "Ready?" Gavin tighten his grip around Clay's neck.
"Ready," Gavin whispered in Clay's ear.
"Hold on tight," Clay ran like the wind into the dark forest with Gavin on his back.
The wind blew against their face. Their heart beat with fear and hope. Both men were soaked in their own sweat. Both of them couldn't run anymore. They had been running for two days now, from the roaring thunder. They had been running away from the dark sky that is more evil then the devil himself.
Out of nowhere, the thunder roared just a few feet from them. The dim light from the torch can be seen vividly.
"They're running that way! Go get them you fools!" the leader yelled. "Get your bows and arrows ready!"
The other men lit up their arrows and shoot it at Clay and Gavin.
"Hold on tight," Clay talked between breaths. Gavin held tighter, almost choking him. The arrows started coming closer, Clay dodges the arrows. It was impossible, but with super speed, they did it.
"Hurry you dumb shits, their getting away!" The men started loading their weapons as fast as possible. "Go" yelled their leader.
The men ran towards them. Until they are a few feet away from them, the leader raised his hand as some kind of cue. The men got on their knees and started to lit fire on the tip of their arrow.
"Load!" The men put their arrows on their bow and pull the string back. They aimed it at a degree at the sky. "FIRE," Screamed the leader. The men let go of their strings and unleashed hell.
The arrows missed them due to the distance between them.
"Give me that you little girl!" The leader took the bow from the man closest to him. "Light up an arrow for me," The man that got his bow taken away quickly lit up an arrow and handed it to his leader. He grabbed it and pulls the string back and let go. His heart beat can be heard as the arrow flew into the air. His only hope now is to hit a living creature, not a thing. His arrow flew and hit Clay in the leg. "Got that blood sucking devil!" He yelled. They now ran after them.
"Run Gavin!" Clay winced, sitting on the ground.
"No, never am I going to leave you," Gavin cried.
"They'll kill you for sure! Run now!" Clay pushed Gavin away, but Gavin held on to Clay's shirt.
"No I can't do that! I can never let them hurt you. I love you Clay and always will," His words had touched both of them. Tears filled both of their eyes. Gavin grabbed the arrow from Clay's leg and as painful as it sounds, he pushed the arrow all the way in until the other end popped out. As it did, he grabbed it and pulled it out. Clay screamed in pain the whole time while Gavin tried to calm him with sweet words.
