"Oh my gosh what do we do? I'm so dead!"
Nova screamed in panic as she nervously paced in circles.
"I-I don't know! Maybe we could, we could explain it was an accident?"
Halting her frantic pacing about, she looked at with with a look of utter terror.
"Are you nuts! Those guys could kill us in two seconds"
She was right, I couldn't even think of a reason why I thought to do that.
But it was her fault we were in this message in the first place....okay it was also mine but that's not the point.
"I-"
"They went this way, come on"
We looked to each other with wide eyes, panic swam in the emerald green of Nova's as I began to shake.
"They're he-"
Swiftly placing my hand over her mouth to shut her up and prevent us being caught, I crouched down begind the dumpster in the dark ally way.
"Come out girlies, promise we won't hurt you"
Snickered a deep, groggy voice.
The dark silhouettes of gigantic men and the slight glimmering of silver and gold piercings on faces was all that I saw.
Nova and I sat dead still in our positions, too terrified to move and far too tired from running for our lives.
This did not seem like it was gonna end well for us both.
...Okay, you must be pretty confused right now but I'll explain everything
You see we're kinda caught in a sticky situation where three grown men in tattoos and piercings are chasing after us...
Well that's not much of an explanation now is it?
Let's go back to the beginning.
******
So here I am, running away after the whole incident in the coffee store and Nova was still catching me behind her.
"W-wait, stop. I can't- can't go any further!"
I struggled to get out while simultaneously sounding like a fat, dying pig.
I swear that's what I sounded like.
Nova quickly looked behind to me and was finally about to let up on her hit and run fiasco....
That was until she number into a motorbike.
The force caused her to fall over the bike, taking me with her which just made everything worse.
The first bike went down, then took the one next to it with it and so on like a pack of dominoes.
It felt like I was in a crazy, hilarious anime where disaster stroke and chaos just kept unfolding before me.
Laying on top of the klutz I was quick to get off her, fearing of crushing her between me and the bike.
"Oh my gosh are you alright?"
I asked panicked while pulling her by the arm.
"Y-yeah, I think so"
She rubbed her head as she got up off the bike.
Looking down to the motors we crashed into, my eyes widened in horror.
Nova looked at me with confusion as a brow lifted.
Slowly raising my hand I pointed to the large scratch that seemed to be decorating the side of the large, black motor bike.
Following my pointed finger, her eyes widened as colour drained from it.
It's like all blood ran cold as her face became as white as a sheet.
A commotion came from the bar directly across from us. A group of large men with scars and tattoos decorating their arms and faces came out of the small building.
Our heads turned at the sudden intrusion as we were hit by a large cloud of smoke coming from them.
The men were laughing, rough housing and one took an occasional sip of his bear.
The three men stopped dead in their tracks as they witnessed the downfall of what I assumed was their bikes.
Eyes ablaze, jaws tightly clutched the one in front swept the area with his eyes, looking for the perpetrators.
His eyes finally stopped at us and we immediately froze in terror.
It felt like I was being sized up, or rather scaled for my own slaughter like at a slaughter house.
And by the tight death grip I felt from Nova, it seemed she aswell felt equally felt as intimidated if not more than me.
"You!"
He pointed a fat, tattooed finger at us. His brows were scrunched up in anger and mouth sneering as a bit of drool came rolling down his chin.
"Are dead!"
He said as he made the gesture of one slitting his throat.
My eyes widened further and I felt my blood run cold. I trembled in fear and shock.
My legs instead of being jelly felt as stiff as a board. It was as if they were rooted to the ground.
But as soon as the man infront of us took a step towards us I felt a sudden force rush through my body to my legs.
Power from an unknown source awakened my legs from their terror filled slumber.
Before he could take another step forward, I held onto Nova and bolted out of there. Leaving the three hulks in nothing but my dust.
It wasn't soon until I heard heavy leather boots stomping behind us. And that only encouraged me to run even faster.
The streets were far from empty, which meant occasionally bumping into a few unlucky pedestrians.
But that was a necessary sacrifice for our escape.
Not once did I turn back and not once did my steps faulter. However, the same could not be said about Nova.
Though I've been walking or running the same path as her, somehow she kept getting stuck on loose nails and tripping over thin air.
I'm sorry to say this but is she some stupid girl in a horror movie? I mean seriously, this is not a horror film!
Just as we were picking up our pace once more the klutz; Nova, somehow fell over a flower pot, rolled over a table with flower on it and ended underneath a pile of books.
This was some next level klutz shit right here.
To say I was impressed would be an understatement. This was the impossible made possible.
Looking to the incredible hulks, they also seemed astonished at the wonderful display of klutziness orchestrated by my new found friend.
They were so surprised it seemed that for a minute they forgot they were supposed to be persueing us.
Taking their momentary pause as an advantage I scrambled to get the princess klutz out of her own made burial.
I grabbed her by the hand and quite literally flew her out of the pile. That seemed to snap our persuers out of their reverie.
Their once dumbfounded faces morphed into the raging fires of Hades I had first seen them in
Ah, yes that was far better.
Hear the sarcasm?
Rounding a corner I saw a dark alley way and without thinking; as per usual, I ran into it with a slightly shaking Nova.
We stood still in the dark for a few minutes listening to our surroundings.
A dark, creepy alley where no one could hear you scream...yeah this was totally a good idea Reing!
*******
And that brings us up to speed I think.
Well except for the part where these guys are totally gonna catch us!
I'm panicking, you hear me!? Straight out panicking!
The three amigos; sounded better than musketeers since they're not here to do good and all, stood tall and kept looking for us.
"Come out little girls, I just wanna talk to ya."
One of them called out in a sing-song manner. As if that would work! I'm not stupid.....well not that stupid.
"Come on out little girls"
Another called out with a scruffy voice, he had a thick southern accent which kinda made it difficult to understand him.
"I know you're in here girlies, I can smell ya"
What are you a dog? And what's with you calling us little girls?
We are girls yes but I'm pretty sure I'm passed the middle school age.
My eyes rapidly moved as I scoured the area for an escape route of sorts.
Before I could run though I needed to know where exactly they were. Or else I would be putting us in danger of being caught.
But that means I have to get out of my safe spot and look for them first. That could be a problem.
Hmmm...maybe I could let Nova-
Looking down at the girl crouched infront of me I saw her panicked state as she shivered and quivered.
She was like a chihuahua on steroids.
Well that's that idea out of the window.
Guess I'm gonna have to take one for the team.
Alright then, let's just go out there and-
Before I could even think of getting out of my crouched position, one of the brutes was standing right infront of us.
Nova's breath hitched and I felt myself freeze.
The guy had his back towards us as his tiny eyes scouted the area.
We were lucky to be where we were. It was hard to find us between the dumpster and wall, with the buildings casting a bigger shadow over our hiding place.
The man kept looking around the area. His eyes skimmed over to where we were and I stiffened in anticipation.
His eyes were still on that area as if he knew we were there.
A few agonising minutes later, he looked away. Nova and I simultaneously released a breath of relief.
"Did ya see em?"
"Nah, I didn't"
The voices came from our left, which meant we had to go right.
Looking down to Nova our eyes met and by some sheer telepathic communication, she knew what I was thinking.
I could tell by the look she gave me while desperately shaking her head in disagreement.
I in retaliation nodded mine. Her eyes widened further, making her look like an emoji.
I Stiffler the laugh threatening to be released and composed myself.
I took my hand off her mouth and slowly rose to my feet. My back was still arched and I prepared myself to once again go out in a sprint.
Meanwhile Nova sat still in her position, refusing to follow me.
I gave her a look and she ignored it. Rolling my eyes I gestured to where I thought the three men were and repeated the threatening slicing throat as the earlier guy made.
That seemed to work seeing as she finally rose to her feet, copying my posture.
I gave a gentle yet reassuring smile to which she responded to with a mesmerizing one of her own.
Nodding my head at her I looked back to the passage. With my fingers I gave the count down.
As soon as I reached one both of us bolted right out of there.
At first we didn't hear the three men but that hope was soon crushed.
The heavy stomps and shouts of beyond angry bikers was what tarnished the small hope I had of escaping this unscathed.
Somehow we ended up in my neighborhood, still being chased down.
Seriously how much stamina do these guys have?!
I'm running on pure adrenaline and fear alone. I do think think I'd survive if I didn't have those two things pumping through my veins right now!
"Hey, follow me"
Nova said as she overtook me, thankfully not tripping this time.
The raven haired girl made a sharp left turn to an old abandoned house.
Now usually I'd never be withing a ten mile radius of such an eerie place but I was scared.
Meaning I was irrational and not thinking straight. So without thinking it thoroughly through, I followed her.
A large iron gate seperated the house from any intruders, but that didn't hinder the burning flame of determination in Nova's eyes.
Grabbing hold of the bars, she pulled herself over the iron gates lifting her entire body over it and made a soft landing on the crunchy leaves.
What is this girl a frwakin' ninja?!
I looked to the back, the three amigos were still a few ways from us but they were slowly catching up.
"Come on Reign!"
Nova beckoned while hurriedly motioning for me to go over.
Okay okay, I can totally do this.
Following her earlier moves, but not so easily and definitely not graceful at all I finally managed to get myself over the metallic gates.
Unfortunately I made a hard landing on the cement floor with my butt.
Yeahp, walk it off. Walk it off.
Following Nova once more slightly limping mind you, we made our way to the backyard.
A small wooden gate, barely visible thanks to the many vines that hid it, was pushed open by my klutz of a friend.
Going through we found ourselves in a beautiful yard of the next door neighbours.
Nova ran to the front door, crazily knocked on it until a petite old lady opened for us.
"Oh hello dear. What brings you h-"
"Hi Mrs Haroldson, I just need a moment"
Not waiting for her to finish, Nova grabbed me by the hand and let herself in the house.
Closing the door with a loud thud we made our way upstairs.
Did she know this woman? Was she her grandmother? Wait, does this classify as breaking and entering?!
