Chapter 55

While waiting for whoever would come in my direction, hopefully not finding me, I felt how I was getting aroused. It made me think about what I was doing, and I knew that a week ago, I wouldn’t have agreed to do this. Just think about it, I was here, naked, and a group of 32 boys were going to try to find me and then try to grab one of those cloths hanging at the sides of my body.

Really! If this had been last week, I would have run away and hide in my bedroom with locked doors. But now, it was mostly my own idea to come here naked. Okay, I didn’t know what they wanted from me, but still, I knew I would be around many, hopefully, eighteen-year-old boys.

This could go so wrong for me, but at the same time, I just knew I was going to be safe with them. Don’t ask me why I knew this; I just knew!

Standing there, hidden, on my own, kept my mind going over all the things I had done and was still going to do. It’s strange how your mind works sometimes. You would think it would keep focusing on what was happening now, but no, it needed to take inventory of what I had done the past few days. To make it even worse, thinking about those things made me get horny.

Eventually, I was happy when I suddenly heard some boys’ voices approaching me. It made my mind focus on my surroundings again.

“Do you think it was smart to come in this direction?” I heard Boy 1 say.

“Two years ago, they caught her around here,” Boy 2 answered. “Just look at those ferns around us. This is a perfect hiding place.”

“Do we need to be careful?” Boy 3 asked.

“Try not to damage them too much,” Boy 1 answered. “If you look closely, you should be able to find some small trails among them. Sheep don’t eat this but make small paths through them sometimes.”

“Ah, I found a trial over here,” Boy 2 responded. “I’ll look around here.”

“Okay,” Boy 1 responded.

They didn’t say anything for some time and carefully moved through the ferns, trying to find me among them. I was happy I hadn’t decided to hide among them because they probably would have seen me, depending on my luck.

“Check those shrubs out over there,” I heard Boy 1 say.

A rush of adrenaline went through my body. It was getting more dangerous, so I tried to stay as quiet as possible.

I could hear this guy checking my hiding area out, moving some branches of the shrubs to the side.

“I don’t think she is in here,” Boy 3 shouted, “There is no going through this without hurting yourself.”

“Just look beneath it then, to make sure she isn’t hiding underneath it,” Boy 1 said.

Boy 3 grunted, and I guessed he would lie on the ground to see if I was lying there. While he was doing this, I could feel my heartbeat beating. This was more exciting than I had thought it would be.

“No one here,” I heard Boy 3 shout at the others.

“Then let’s move on,” Boy 1 said. “There is still plenty of area with ferns to check around here.”

“Do you think any of the other groups would have found her already?” Boy 2 asked.

“I don’t think so,” Boy 1 said. “I for sure haven’t heard any whistles yet. So, none of the others must have found her.”

So, they have whistles with them, I thought. That’s how they will warn the others of where I’m once caught.

Those four guys kept looking for me between the ferns, but slowly, I could hear them getting away from me. At least my plan had worked this time. They hadn’t found me or anything indicating I had been here. However, the next group could be more thorough because those four would have left some traces behind. So, the next group could think I made them.

Now that they were gone, I dared to breathe normally again. I hadn’t noticed it, but while they had been around me, I had only taken shallow breaths, which left me a little out of breath.

It’s strange that I had never fantasized about a thing like this before because it was thrilling. The thought that those guys were looking for me and would chase me once they saw me was very exciting. I wish we could videotape this because it could be thrilling to watch. Perhaps we could do a scripted version of it someday. I’m sure it would still be an exciting thing to watch.

Again, the waiting game started. I was getting tired with the first group gone for at least fifteen minutes. My excitement had gone down, and the little critters were again discovering me in the shrubs. Luckily, none of them were able to hurt me. Well, at least, we can call ourselves lucky that the mosquitoes didn’t drink our blood anymore because of a virus outbreak a decade ago. The virus hadn’t been harmful but had changed our blood slightly and made it toxic for those pesky mosquitoes. Lucky for them, we secreted an odor we couldn’t detect but repelled them away.

My legs were tired from standing up so long that I needed to move them slightly to prevent cramping. I had just thought about sitting on the ground when I heard a noise. It made me hold my breath and focus.

“Look, somebody has been here,” I heard Boy 1 say. (It wasn’t the same boy as before, but it was the first boy I heard from this group.)

“Another group?” Boy 2 asked.

“I think so,” Boy 3 said. “These are too many footprints. I see at least three different trails going through the ferns around here.

“Fuck, so she isn’t here then,” Boy 4 said.

“Just check to be sure,” Boy 2 said. “Who knows? Maybe they missed her, or she came here after they were gone.”

“Smart thinking,” Boy 1 said. “Let’s recheck it.”

They also started to look around the area again. After a few minutes, I could hear someone at the shrubs.

“They have checked here also,” Boy 4 said. “Guys, just check the ground underneath the shrubs to see if we can find any disturbance.”

At this point, I could hear sounds coming from almost all directions around me.

“Somebody has been standing here,” Boy 3 said. “I guess one of the other guys. He must have tried to enter the shrubs, but it’s rather dense.”

“Did he go inside?” Boy 1 asked.

“I don’t think so,” Boy 3 answered.

“Do you want us to check inside?” Boy 4 asked.

“Hmm, how long is this already going on?” Boy 1 asked.

“Must be an hour, maybe even longer,” Boy 3 answered.

“This girl is more cunning than the others,” Boy 1 said. “I don’t know. I have a feeling...”

“Hey, guys,” I heard Boy 2 say. I think somebody has crawled underneath the shrubs from here.

Fuck! Went through my mind. I hadn’t checked it, but I must have left some trail while crawling toward the middle of these shrubs.

“Let’s try to check inside these shrubs,” Boy 1 said.

I could hear the leaves on the shrubs start to make loud noises when those boys tried to get past them. They could do it with their clothes on, even when it would be difficult. I could also hear some branches breaking, so they were pushing themselves through it.

This was it. My hiding place was compromised, so I needed to leave before they could reach me. I knew I wouldn’t be able to push myself through the shrubs without hurting my body, so I wasn’t going to do that. The only thing I was left to do was get on the ground and crawl out of there. With some luck, I could see where they were and how to get out without them catching me.

So, I squatted down and went laying on the ground.

“Guys, I heard something,” I heard Boy 2 shout.

“She must be in here,” Boy 1 shouted back. “Get her!”

I swore inside my head and looked underneath the shrubs. I could see the four of them. Two were moving toward me from my left, one from my right, and one from behind me. It was just plain luck that I was already facing the only direction I could crawl to get out of there and away from them.

I didn’t care if I was making a noise this time because I knew they already knew I was in there. So, I crawled as fast as possible to escape them.

“I can hear her,” Boy 3 now also shouted. “She’s going south!”

While crawling, I thought about it momentarily and couldn’t help but think, Smart guy. I’m indeed moving south.

I didn’t even check if they were following me in the right direction, but I crawled on to ensure I would be out of the shrubs before them so I could run away.

I did precisely that when I reached the end of the shrubs and could stand up. I was about to start running when a boy showed up to my left, only two yards away. We stared at each other briefly, and his mouth opened wide.

I started running away from him as fast as I could.

“What are you just standing there?” Boy 1 asked the guy who was already out of the shrubs.

“She’s ... naked,” I heard Boy 2 say.

This made me smile because what I had thought earlier had happened. This guy had been so stunned to find a naked girl that, for a moment, he hadn’t even thought about running after me.

“Fuck, stupid ass. Start chasing her!” Boy 1 shouted.

I didn’t need to look behind me. From the sounds I could hear, I was sure they had started running after me.

While running away from them, I tried to look around me to ensure the other groups weren’t nearby. For now, I couldn’t see any other boys. However, I also knew now that they had seen me, I wouldn’t be able to get away from them and hide again. It was now a sprinting game, and hoping they wouldn’t manage to catch me so they could pull one of those pieces of cloth away from me.
