Grace
Sarah’s blood smeared against a small animal’s sun-bleached bones where
she collapsed—her cut-up feet compacted with debris much like my
own. “We have to keep going.”
Dirt smeared across her pale skin, and her gaunt eyes resembled Death
beneath the hood of her flaming red hair.
“I can’t. I’m too tired.”
I jerked her arms with both hands, my depleted muscles screaming as she
found her feet. “If you stop, we die.” My soles ached as I dragged her over
the jagged terrain, her groans filling the darkening sky.
“Come on, Grace.” Maria’s shoulders hunched over, her hands on her
knees twenty paces ahead. Her chest heaved for breath. “Just leave her.”
A bird fluttered its wings overhead and squealed as my narrowed eyes
locked onto hers. “Like I left you, right?”
“Like you left the others.”
She returned my glare until I dropped my gaze to her worn-out sneakers.
“That’s not fair.” The words tumbled out of my mouth like a dying
confession.
She’s lucky.
The new girl arrived within hours of our escape.
They hadn’t even taken her clothes or shoes away, so it was easy for her
to discard someone while the rest of us tiptoed with bare feet over cactus,
jagged rocks, and old coyote tracks.
Maria had yet to experience the horrors of twisted men. Given a little
more time in the confines of our hell, they would’ve introduced her to a
world not even the devil could conjure up.
My fingers intertwined with Sarah’s as we hiked the hill, my feet slipping
on the baked earth, sweat dripping down my hairline and into my worn
shirt.
Maria shook her head as we met up with the group of seven ahead.
“Honestly, Maria.” Viola tossed her greasy chestnut-colored hair over her
shoulder. “Have some sympathy.”
Maria huffed at her as she turned around. “I’m never going back there,
and if I have to leave the weak link to ensure that never happens, then I
will.”
