"Keep calm, we'll be home soon." calm? home? I just saw a murder in broad daylight. "Shouldn't we call the police?" I look around me, I'm tightly bound to the seat and my bag isn't here. My phone? Ah, it's here in front, good apple. "I think the people there already were doing that" Alex says gritting his teeth, he looks more 'not-calm' than me. "Why do you think he killed the driver?" "I have no idea why he would kill?" ask more to myself but Alex spurts like he's been thinking about it endlessly. I close my eyes but the actual question clicks. "Why were you there?" How, or for what? I look intently but he doesn't reply, what's going on? "Alex, did you know I was there that time?" he turns his head but stops, turns back to the road. So he came for me? He clearly said he doesn't have any power of foresight, so he has a purpose! "Do you know that man?" I have no idea why, but I get the feeling that I'm hoping he does. He slows down the car we've reached his house already. I get down after he does. "Dani, are you okay?" oh, he's sad? He gazes into my face saying no more words. I nod and awkwardly walk on, he follows to open the door. I plop on the couch in his living room. "Do you need anything?" I hear his voice as I only the couch now, below me. I lift my head up "I'm aching for something to fill up on" my skip on breakfast and the skip of heartbeats used up all my energy. He nods and goes to the kitchen.
I turn the tv on to see if news came out, although it is too early. Shit! Just few minutes ago I escaped from my death. Did I escape? One thing I'm sure, that all this is not just bad luck, it is something. My heart is still beating rashly let's not die until the food comes, heart.
"Dani!" ugh, chill out I'm getting up, my eyes are closed but I'm awake. I better open my eyes before Alex starts to slaps me thinking I'm unconscious. "I took a nap" I get up o sit wholly. But my eyes rather open up quickly as my nose takes in the warm aroma of delicacy. I see the plate full of pasta. Not bad. Alex stares at me anxiously. He's more afraid even after being so old. "What is it?" I know he's not going answer straight. "Are you feeling anything" there. "I feel fine. Hungry" I take back, that pasta is great. "here, I had to be quick" he hands me the plate. He understands I wanted something more. "This is what I need" I scoop and fill my mouth. Yeah~ wow. I'm even hungrier now. The sause is hot and filled with flavour. "I came there looking- "I knew it! " oh I thought I wouldn't be surprised but I am enough to put down the plate. I take it back and continue my eating, he just stares. "So you know that guy?" I put as much bite as I can in my mouth, so I can look at me without pauses. He sits down side. "He's like me" His voice is stern and agitated. Woah-oh. Yeah who else would kill a person so boldly. I mean people with power don't fear the law, there's been no news of it even after this time has passed, that's actually odd. Now that I have a clear head that man had a very furious and a real urge in his eyes -to kill. And I wonder why the driver. "Did you know? Is that why you came for me?" does that mean he knows Alex is living here, telling me all of their secrets? "no, I didn't" he's frustrated. "I came because, I wanted to see you." mmh. "wait how do you know, I mean how did you recognise?" they die and born differently so no one knows untill they try to. "I saw that face centuries ago, because he never dies" never dies? So he's been living forever. Why, Alex not feeling good about it all? So I take it he's not a friend but an enemy. "Dani, I'm asking too much but we should go away as far as we can from him." We? Me too? Alex is suddenly very tensed and he's clearly worrying. "If he knows who I am, I'll have to runaway and he knows how to find" I know about what he's explaining, he would come to people who knew Alex. "Can't you just talk with him what he's after?" what is it that Alex have to runaway from a fellow specie. " I know what he's after. " I see, some drama I presume. I think! is that man Alex's brother? "Dani, he's dangerous and he's the reason why I came. we have to get away from here, trust me" "Alex, I, don't understand all this. But I'll do anything you ask me to." I do trust Alex and definitely believe that, that man is dangerous. He nods and makes a call while I wash up.
I switch off my phone after I text mom, may and Jill I'll be going on a trip on buisness for mom & may, vacation to Jill. I switched it off afterwards. Alex's been busy packing and making several phone calls. He finally emerges from the bedroom along with a suitcase. "I'm sorry. We leave now, to London." London, that's where we're running to? "But the flight?" He couldn't have booked two tickets to leave in 20mins. "We'll be going on a Jet, We take the cab first come on" wow, he's arranged it all so fast. Something tells he's experienced all this before. I wish he told me more about all that. But since I asked last, he only told me about that man's name and that he killed humans before, residing on Alex's council list of priorities. Yes, there's a council for them and they've hunting this man for his misdeeds.
"Where are we going though?"
I open my eyes and look out the window, we're landing soon. "How are you feeling?" Alex sits down and hands a chilled soda. "I don't know" I'm not sure of these events I can't be concerned with them.
"You ever been here before? He asks me so I finally stop looking out the window of sky and small looking world beneath, London. "Sometime when I was little, I don't remember though" I only the remember the pictures and some fireworks. "We'll go to my house first, but remember don't talk about any of this" Ofcourse, I wouldn't and apart from all this.. situation I am excited to meet his family.
