~ Hide And Seek ~
Breathing frantically, Robert "Robbie" Scott ran through the woods that were as familiar to him as the back of his hand. How many times had he been out here? How many times had he run along these paths? But this time everything was different.
He didn't have much time. At any moment she would come for him. At any moment he would be hunted down and caught if he didn't find a place to hide quickly enough.
His heart skipped a beat when he heard her call. He had to hurry! He had to find a hole in a tree as quickly as possible or climb one of the trees or –
A startled scream escaped the young Scotsman when a hand suddenly reached out of a bush right next to him and he was pulled into the middle of the bushes.
He wanted to scream further and call for help, but he didn't get the chance because the same hand that had pulled him into the bushes quickly pressed down on his mouth and silenced him.
"Shhh! Be quiet, a bhràthair!"
That voice.
Robbie, who was now sitting on his knees on the ground, turned his head to see who was sitting behind him, covering his mouth.
It was his brother. The older Scotsman kept his eyes fixed on the path Robbie had been walking on until a moment ago. His eyes were wide with fear.
Robbie made a few muffled sounds and Scotty's hand tightened on it.
"Shh!" he hissed again and it wasn't until Robbie himself heard the approaching footsteps that he became as quiet as a mouse.
"Come out, come out, wherever ye are," a female voice rang out, in a singsong.
Robbie's blood froze in his veins and he closed his eyes. He couldn't let her find them! Therefore he had to be quiet.
His heart was pounding in his throat as the footsteps came closer and closer.
"I'll find ye. Ye cannae get away from me."
Robbie pressed himself as close to Scotty as he could. He just wanted to know that his big brother was with him. And Scotty only held him tighter.
The two brothers sat trembling in their hiding place and it was only when the footsteps slowly moved away from them that they both dared to relax a little.
Scotty finally dropped his hand and Robbie sighed with relief. They had made it. They were safe for now!
Smiling, the two looked at each other and sent a silent prayer to the heavens, however, suddenly someone jumped through the bushes and grabbed them both by their shoulders.
"Gotcha!"
Scotty and Robbie both cried out in shock, while their friend Margory laughed triumphantly.
"Ha, ha, ha! I'm just the best at this game!"
Scotty just sighed and shrugged his shoulders.
"At least we tried."
"Aye. Thanks for yer help, Monty. Ye tried to save me."
Robbie wrapped his arms around his big brother and he hugged him tightly.
"Always."
