Narrator's POV
Are you ok boss? His right hand man Lucio asked him as he and 2 other men of his helped him to his feet.
Quit asking stupid questions Lucio, do I by any means look fine to you? He asked through gritted teeth as soon as he got to his feet.
I'm sorry boss.
Save it; did you at least get the girl?
Lucio went silent, he wasn't about to tell his already pissed boss that it didn't occur to him to go after the girl.
Lucio? Really, why the fuck am I even paying you again? His voice was already filled with anger and it seems to increase as he spoke.
I'm sorry boss! He replied again unable to meet his bosses anger filled glance.
Stop saying you are sorry and go do your fucking job; I want that girl before tomorrow night. The rage was quite evident in his voice as he spoke and nodding in reply, Lucio quickly ran off with 3 of the men leaving his boss with two other.
Prepare the car now, we are leaving. The man spoke with an air of authority and headed for the exit with his men following closely behind.
Lucio and the rest of the men were outside looking around.
Find her, search everywhere. He Commanded and quickly they men scattered all around the environment searching for the lady on blue.
I think we lost her Sir! One of his men said as he ran to him.
Fear griped him and he gloped, he couldn't bring himself to imagine what his boss would do to them of they don't return with the girl.
Don't give up yet, search around this street, she would be here somewhere; I mean its been barely 5 minutes since she left, she couldn't have gotten far away by now. Lucio replied ranking his hand through his hair in frustration.
She couldn't have gotten far away except she had a ride. Fabio told him looking around as he spoke, he too knew the dangers of returning to their base without the girl or a tangible information.
Yeah, that's it. We need to check the parking lot! Lucio declared and walked off and cursing quietly Fabio went after him with a scrow on his face. He hates the fact that a simple girl who he never even got to see the face was ruining his Friday night.
Their eyes swept round the parking lot and just when they decided to give up, they spotted a car driving out some steps away from them and at the back seat sat the lady on blue.
Shit, they are getting away. Lucio said and together, they went after the car on foot and it seemed the driver wasn't aware of this till Fabio shot at them.
Is shooting really the right thing to do now? Lucio whisper yelled as the ran towards the car which was still trying to find it's pace.
You weren't expecting me to just watch them leave right? Fabio replied through gritted teeth as he got ready to shoot again. The rest of the guys were now already with them all running towards the already moving car.
Darian, go get the truck now! Lucio commanded and he nodded before running back from where he came from.
The girls weren't aware that some guys were after them untill the heard the shooting sound, a very deep silence followed the shot.
Wa...Wass that a guu..n sound I heard? Arianna's voice quivered as she asked this question with so much fear evident in her voice. Stephanie whispered a yes and Arianna swallowed in deep fright.
I mean, they can't really be shooting at us right? We are really good citizens. Arianna said with a nervous laugh that turned to a scream when another shot came filled by a bullet tearing the back mirror and crossed over to the front. Arianna turned the wheels with a crazy speed while the screams of both ladies continued, well who knew that their normal feel good moment was going to turn into their worst night mare.
Arianna, I think we should go faster, some guys are after us! Eva said from the back seat with a panic stricken voice which got Stephanie turning and she gasped loudly.
Fuck, fuck, step on it Aria, go faster!
Arianna didn't need another word for her to increase to a crazy speed into the quiet and empty streets and far away from the club.
I think we lost them sir. One of the men standing close to him said with a calm voice.
Fuck! He cursed through gritted teeth and ranked his hand through his long hair in frustration.
Hey Lucio, I think I found something that can help!.
Evangeline's POV
I watched Arianna pull up in front of the house breathing heavily, we all were breathing heavily and really fast like those who just ran a marathon. It took me some minutes to gather my self and so I went down the car and rushed into the house and quickly to my room still with my heart beating very fast.
Somehow, I had this strange feeling that I was in a very deeply trouble for some unknown reasons. My head started feeling a pound heavier than it normally should and the headache tripped in. I kept trying not to think so as to avoid the headache but different thoughts kept entering my mind as I fell on the bed still with my clothes on.
A knock came on my door and Arianna entered my room even without an invite with Stephanie following closely behind her.
Hey, you okay? Arianna asked as she gently made her way to my bed side looking as nervous and disturbed as ever.
Hey, I am fine just having a headache which I believe would go once I rest. I replied with a whisper like voice and a gentle smile as i forced myself to sit up on the bed despite the increasing headache.
Have you taken your medication? Arianna asked in concern but Stephanie only went to sit on the dresser with a very deep frown on her face.
I already took that before we left and I don't see taking another one as really a good idea, it would definetly amount to an overdose. I repiled her and shẹ nodded.
Right.
I just wanted to say thank you for going with me to see Damian even though it turned out to be a terrific experience. Arianna had a little sad smile on her face as she spoke, I felt truely sorry for her; she shouldn't be made to hide to see someone she likes right.
Nah it's fine, he is really good looking anyway. I told her with a little smile trying to change the dominant mood and somehow it worked real quickly.
You think so? She looked excited but Stephanie was way too quite and the frown on her face seemed to deepen.
Of course, who wouldn't. I grinned and then she joined in immediately only to stop all of a sudden with a confused look on her face.
What I don't understand is why does guys were after us Eva, did we do anything wrong because it was clearly obvious that they were after us, I mean they even shot at us. Her once laughing voice was now filled with panic as she spoke so quickly hadly taking any breathe in-between.
I am not sure but I have a feeling that they were from that dangerous looking man I met at the dance floor. I told her slowly and I watched her eyes grow bigger.
Met? How? that certainly wasn't a friendly visit Eva, What is really going on?
The man, he was almost raping me on the dance floor.
Raping? Don't you think that is a bit overated. Stephanie suddenly said with something that sounded like hate mixed with anger in her voice.
He was practically fumbling my breasts and squizing my ass while whispering how he was going to have me on his bed, now if that isn't almost raping then what is? The anger in my voice was quite evident and I didn't even try to hide it.
Really, did you even try to imagine what would have happened if those guys by any means caught up with us? The story would certainly have been different, there are many ways to tell a man that you are not interested in him and not knelling him. Stephanie was already yelling and their I sat watching her with tears filled eyes. I realized suddenly that really I had indangered them all and it scares me.
You can't be all holy Eva, you fucking make us all look dirty while you are the saint and I do know that you wanted him but the need to act all innocent got us to this point. I can't believe that someone shot at me for the first time in my life and it's all because of you!
I couldn't take it anymore, my head was already pounding but I managed to stand up from the bed and headed to the wardrobe where I picked out a thick coat and then headed out in a hurry partly avoiding to hear another heartbreaking word from Stephanie; was she really that angry at me. I know I fucked up real hard but saying I am acting all innocent is painful.
I made it to the front door and opened it stepping out into the quiet streets and only then did a tear successfully drop from my eyes. I took the road to my right and started walking wiping the tears that were already running down my cheeks as I walked.
Stephanie had sounded like someone who has been holding a grudge and didn't miss the opportunity to let it all out on me but why would she be holding a grudge against her own cousin.
Nothing seems clear anymore, even the breeze which was supposed to be a gentle one was already turning into a wind. I hate the fact that I don't remember and that I can't understand what's going on either. I was growing to love my cousins but suddenly it appealed to me to take up the mission to find out what really happened to my parents seriously.
I stuck my hand stuck into the pockets of the coat as I walked. The environments were oddly cool and very quiet and oddly enough, I am literally the only person walking on these streets right now, well maybe it wasn't a good idea to come out alone on these streets by this time but I am not going to return home yet.
I feel as though a thousand rocks have been placed on my head and also I feel so miserable and it pisses me off; I shouldn't let my emotions take over my personal reasoning.
Hey, what are you doing on these streets alone by this time? Some one said behind me and I felt my heart start pounding in fear and then I turned only to freeze from who I saw.
How could a guy be this beautiful? He has a pretty looking face shaped as pear, green eyes that seems to shine in the night and his nose and jaw line were sharply carved and his chestnut coloured hair seemed to be falling all over his face in the wind.
Back to earth lady! He said with a serious look on his face as I blinked back to reality.
Hi. I said simply and then he smiled, a very beautiful smile that confused me. Why is he smiling now?
Are you okay? You seem a bit off. His voice was gentle as he spoke and I shrugged in reply not quite trusting my own voice in front of this guy.
You do know that walking on these streets alone by this time is literally telling danger you are available right? He suddenly whispered to me as if avoiding something.
I... I just needed to take a walk! I replied trying not to meet his intense gaze.
Hmm, well seems we have to pair up then. I am Fredrick, Fred for short. And you are?
Evangeline, Eva for short. I told him and resumed walking while he fell in pace with me.
That's a beautiful name. He said with a warm smile which I returned with a rather small smile. He is a stranger, but why am I already feeling like I already know him?
