She flinched again, while he was cleaning up her wound. "If you are so scared of getting hurt you must not try to be a dare devil in the first place." he said in a sarcastic tone.
"Who said I am scared of getting hurt? I just... feel afraid while treating it... " she instantly retorted but ended in a weak voice. She continued, "Especially when you have your life on line, you can't do anything but be a dare devil. "
Ezekiel looked at her face, she looked like a very gentle girl. If not for seeing the way she fought and dodged the bullets, he would have instantly believed that, she is the damsel in distress type.
From her words, he knew that she is probably running for her life. But he didn't ask her anything, everyone has their own secrets, and they just met.
But now, he can't stay here any longer, he had to go , he have to do many things right now.
He focused his attention on removing the bullet. He took out the knife, and slowly pierced it into the wound. She winced. "You can hold on my shoulders. " he said.
She instantly grabbed him.
When the knife went a Little deep, he twitched it a little, so that the bullet can come forward. He held her thigh tight to control the blood circulation, brought the knife a little forward and twitched again. And the bullet came out.
When the bullet came out, the girl screamed in pain. He said in a calm voice , "I didn't see you screaming when you got shot. "
She didn't say anything, and just pursed her lips. Ezekiel now regretted a little, for allowing her to hold his shoulders. Because this whole time, she nearly dug half of her nails in his shoulder.
He then tied the wound up, with the clean cloth. Then he heard her say, "I am Kiara." He looked at her and saw here questioning eyes, "Ezekiel. "
"Ezekiel...?" she was clearly asking for his surname. But he really didn't know why his heart hitched, when he heard her call his name.
He said, " You didn't even tell me yours. "
"Oh! well..I can't . No problem, you don't need to say." he waved her hand while the other hand was placed on her wounded thigh.
"Ezekiel Martin. " he said, after releasing a sigh. Well let's start from here. Then he asked her, "We need to go and treat our wounds first. After that, do you have somewhere to go? "
Kiara was startled for a moment. Where will she go? She looked at him and said in a meek voice, "Can I follow you? I have no where to go. "
Ezekiel stared at her for sometime and then said, "If you follow me, you life can be in danger."
"Come on .. you are talking as if, I am in any less danger right now."She rolled her eyes.
And Ezekiel released a sigh again, and said, "Okay we need to leave. "
When they were walking on the street, Kiara said, " I have heard this place is deserted. There was a civil war here and because of some kind of explosion, people moved out from here.
He instantly remember this place. "Come, we will go to Ataman city."
"The city that is 5 miles from here?"
"Yes"
...
When they reached the outskirts of the deserted town they finally saw people.
For now he had enough money, he had taken out the cell Sims out of the mobile phones and was planning to sell them off.
At first, we went to Check In in a local inn for the night. As it was very late, many shops were closed. Thankfully a pharmacy was still open, he bought some ointments, painkillers and bandages.
And then bought something to eat.
The inn didn't have many rooms, and second he didn't want to waste money too. So he asked for a single room. It was only for one night,anyways.
When he entered the room, his eyes were left wide open. And his expressionless face cracked.
