Episode 15: Tied in 60 days

Erica raised her hands. The woman with the rifle ordered us inside the cabin. It 
was somewhat strange that someone finally had gotten the upper hand on them. The 
cabin was large, and was very hot. It was lighted with candles. 
- I got worried when I didn’t hear from you again. Said the woman, and went 
over to the Daria. She removed her gag.
- Watch it they have a gun. Daria screamed out, but too late.
Andrea and Stacy pointed a gun at her, and she knew that game was over. She 
putted the rifle down, and had her hands in the air.
She was quickly tied with her hands behind her, and her legs were tied together 
at the knees and ankles.
- What is your name? Said Erica to the woman.
- It is Dana. Why are you doing this? Said Dana.
- Because you somehow got in our way. Said Erica, and stuffed her mouth with an 
hankie and tied an scarf around her mouth.
- Mmmphh! She argued under the gag.
- Okay ladies; let’s get comfy. Erica said and turned around and smiled.

60 Days later.
It became winter, and the cold mountains were not providing enough heat for us. 
The fireplace needed wood, and to say at least; we froze. 

We (Dana, Erica and myself) were out in the cold winterstorm, trying to get some 
firewood. Being the only male in the group, I was made to cut down the trees 
with the axe; a very unsharpened axe. We found a large tree, and cut it down. It 
took us an hour to drag it back to the cabin, and cut the tree up into pieces. 
Dana and I were dragging the tree while Erica covered us. But finally we had 
enough wood that could heat up the cabin for a day or two. It was comforting to 
know that there was enough wood to take from the woods around us. 

On the outside world, the nation wide hunt for us was not going good. No one 
missed Daria and Dana, and somehow the people forgot about us.
