Mated To The Enemy

•Chapter Two•

We stay in the lake for hours, until it got too cold to stay in there much longer. I was laying on a blanket looking at the sky which was slowly fading into night. Jacob and Samatha were on another blanket doing the same thing, Martha was plaiting her hair while Reece was emptying the puddles from his shoes. I was looking up when I felt someone sit next to me, I look over smiling towards Justin.

"At least they've stopped arguing" he says looking towards Martha and Reece, the whole time they've basically been screaming at each other.

"That's because they're both doing different things, give it an hour the arguing will continue, this is just a rest period for them" I say laying my head back down looking at the sky, he lays next to me looking up too.

"Couldn't you just stay like this forever?" He asks I nod it was really beautiful out here, he turns to look at me making me look at him, before we could do anything Martha starts shouting again.

"Why have you put water near my blanket?!" She shouts making me smile to Justin, but sit up to see what's happened.

"I needed to empty my shoe and your blanket seemed like a very absorbent piece of cloth" Reece says smirking towards her, wow these two really can't get along for even a second.

"Time to leave I guess" Justin sighs getting off the floor packing things up, as a huge argument broke out between Martha and Reece.

I get up helping Justin pack the stuff away folding up all the blankets, Jacob carries all the things to the car as my phone starts ringing. I walk over to see Ethan was ringing, I quickly pick up it being a force of habit.

"Where are you?" He says as soon as I pick up, in the background I could hear loads of talking and shouting.

"We're just about to leave the lake, why is dad okay?" I ask immediately my mind drifting to him, Justin walks behind me placing his hand on my shoulder sending me a questioning look.

"Dads fine but you need to listen to me, when you get back don't come straight into the centre of town, go the back roads so you miss all of the centre" he says but before I could ask why the phone goes dead, I stare at it worry filling my senses.

"Something bad is happening back at town" I tell Justin who quickly pushes me to the car telling the others to hurry, Martha and Reece finally shut up arguing and quickly get in the back of the car as we race out the lake place. 

We drive for a while and were about ten minutes from town, I've been trying to ring Ethan but it keeps going straight to voicemail. I was starting to get a really bad feeling, the screams and shouts I heard in the background made me sick to my stomach, what could be happening?

"Ethan said we have to take the back roads to town, so try to get off the main road" I say looking over to Justin, he nods with a smile but I could tell he was also worrying.

He didn't hear the conversation but he could probably tell by my manner how the conversation went, I don't worry about little things so if I worry, you know it's bad.

We continue normally down the road, I was looking out the window at the passing trees when Justin, slams on the brakes the car coming to an abrupt stop.

"That's gonna be a problem, all the back roads are blocked off for some reason" he tells me while still holding tightly onto the steering wheel.

I turn to look up ahead where the roads had huge rocks blocking them, okay what is happening? They weren't there when we left this morning. Another question though, why are they there?!

"Is there any other roads we could take?" Jacob asks from the back but Justin shakes his head, but kept looking at the distance between the rock and the trees, just in case we could fit through the gap.
