I stood there frozen as their words rang through my head. My body tingled and seemed like it was telling me to GET THE HECK OUT OF THERE! This time I happened to listen. My eyes widened in fear as I turned around and bolted off. My feet crunched under the snow as I dodged the many trees in my path. I quickend my pace as I heard footsteps coming up next to me. I closed my eyes and clenched my teeth as I swung my arm out.
"Ouch!" I heard Sam shout, i opened my eyes and I saw Sam running next to me holding her face in pain.
"Oh my gosh! Sorry Sam." I apologized as we kept on running. She shook her head and waved her hand.
"Dont worry about it just keep running!" She ordered, I nodded.
"Cant this piece of crap go any faster!?" I heard Lock shout in anger, which made me start to sweat. I tried to pick up my pace, I was never the fastest runner. But I had to try, I didnt want to get caught, because i knew excatly what was going to happen. It was obvious, but one question raced through my head. Why? I breathed deeply, too afraid to look back. I however happened to look over to Sam. Her expression was fixed in front of her as she dodged trees and jumped over branches. After a few seconds of running Sam took her gaze off of what was in front of her and turned to me.
"Maybe we can take them!" She shouted, motioning to the bats, then the brats. I looked to the ground thinking over the possibility.
"Ya think?" I asked her, looking back up to her. She gave me a determined smile as she reached and took out her bat. I gave her a curt nod and my expression became the same. I took out my bat and got a good grip on it. My hands were sweaty but I managed to keep hold.
"One." I announced through gritted teeth, Sam took her bat prepairing herself.
"Two." She continued for me, her voice low as we kept running. We looked at eachother and shouted.
"THREE!" That being said we turned around and swung our bats with full force. Mine made a ding noise as it collided with Lock's head. The tub continued it's trek, my balance was lost as I tripped over and fell into the tub. Sam however tripped over her feet and fell on the ground in the cold snow. I saw Lock withering in pain, holding his face in agony, as he crouched on the ground of the tub. I got up and re-positioned my bat. Shock leered at me and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Well look who we caught, and we dont even need a bag." She said, laughing maniaclly.
"I wouldnt be so sure!" I shouted as I lowered my eyebrows and swung my bat at her in anger, full force. She screamed in anger and in pain as she held her shoulder. I then grabbed her by the hair and threw her out of the speeding tub. She yelled in shock as she crashed into the ground. I then felt Barrel jump on my back and link his arms around my neck. I chocked a bit as I tried to yank him off.
"Come on Barrel! This isnt funny!" I shouted, making sure I got air. He seemed to release his grip a bit, allowing me to gasp for air.
"You...you know my name?" He asked in shock, I nodded.
"Yes, Lock, Shock, and Barrel." I explained, Barrel then released his grip and fell to the floor. I jumped out and tumbled on the ground in the cold snow. It hit my skin like a tingle as I came to a stop. I groaned a bit and stood up, then dusted off my clothes. Sam jogged up to fixing her hair a bit.
"You okay?" She asked me putting her hands on my shoudler in re-assurence. I nodded in reply.
"Yeah I'm fine, lets just get back home." I suggested, she nodded in agreement and we both headed back to the house.
