After throwing her out, I begin to rethink what to do. What I have to do is leave as fast as I can, even if she "protecting" me, she knows the people after me. Therefore guilty by association. Right now it's 3:45AM, I have about two and a half hours for sunbreak. I still have my stuff in my luggage, all I really need to do is plan out where to go since I cant go by train, that hallucination still scares me.
I take out my phone and plan a route. Since that "thing" is guarding the subway, my best chance is to go by car. I download uber on the phone, I cant trust taxis. A drive outside the city will take around thirty minutes, good enough even with traffic. I wont be out of it yet though, I'll still have to another town to my friend. He owes me a favour for helping him out, better check in though. I'll have to pay the uber through cash because not taking the chance to go through my phone and do it, I'll have to dispose of it as soon as we get going.
These are the longest hours of my life. Waiting for sunrise is excruciating. I remember when I had insomnia, on nights like this. Waiting for the sun to eventually rise while you have nothing to do except wait. No one to talk to, nothing interesting. I picked up drawing to counteract this, a hobby of sorts. Even then I got bored of it. Maybe that's why I'm familiar with dark places? I have spent most of my childhood in it after all. I never really had a childhood to begin with anyway, grew up too fast is all... I should probably call him now.
I open my contacts and dial in the numbers to one of my friends, he's the unusual sort but that makes him more entertaining. After a couple seconds of ringing, no response. It is 5:20am after all. That reminds me... Where is Sophia? She still could be around in the apartment building, or right next to the door. Speaking of Sophia, she is trying to manipulate me. I see through her crap. No one would be that friendly to a person they just met. I bet she wants to kill me, trapping me in my own apartment with her inside. As if I'd go with ever bit of her whims because she said so.
It's around time I head out. Putting my bag on, I gently open the door. I look around to see if I can find any tuffs of white hair and red eyes. I cant see her in this corridor. I go back inside and start requesting a uber, he will take around fifteen minutes to reach here. I have to move quickly. I start walking down the left corridor to the elevator. I enter it and immediately press the floor button. I start to stare at the floor levels as it goes down. Every ping echo's in my head telling me death is near and It's unpleasant. Hitting the ground floor I exit the lobby and the sun strikes my eyes as walk around the building to where I'm getting picked up. Soon after a man pulls over in a white car calling my name. I stand up from my squatting position and walk over. "Yes that's me." I respond. "Cool, get into the back seat." Truth be told I never used uber before, It unsettles me, but I have no other choice. I open the car door and climb in. "Dandipak Ey? Quite far from here." He says, looking at me in the rear view mirror. "Yeah, I just needed to escape from the tall buildings for a while." "We all have those days Jason, don't worry about it" I drop my phone in the gutter on purpose since I don't have a need for it anymore and close the car door. He begins to start driving, leaving this place behind. Ten minuets pass as we wait at a stoplight. "...They have my family..."
"What?" "They have my parents..." The guy driving the car starts to tear up. "The monsters are gonna kill my family!" I try to open the door discreetly. He notices and locks all the doors. "I'm- I'm sorry! I have to! I-I Love my family man!" "Hey, just calm down! okay? Don't do anything stupid!" I respond Unbuckling my seatbelt. He suddenly faces me in a quick motion. "NO, YOU DON'T GET IT MAN! They're going to keep my mum and sisters as life stock if I don't do this! I have to! I can't let them!" He screams and floors the gas, jolting me towards the seat and driving us into incoming traffic. Swerving left and right, dodging the cars Infront of us and throwing me around in the back seat. I regain my grip on the seats and pull myself towards his. I put my arm around his head, putting him into a headlock, trying to choke him out. We start swerving more and more, He is still screaming in fear. "Let me fucking kill you! Don't make this harder than it has to be!" he screams at me. Every time we swerve, I lose grip on this neck and we almost keep crashing. I reach around his seat and unbuckle his seatbelt and pull back with more force. I can feel his struggling getting weaker. The gargling sounds coming from him as I choke him out creeps me the fuck out. The bubbling noises coming from his throat haunts me, but I have to get him unconscious and off the wheel. I feel as he looses all resistance and limbs back.
In a swift manner, I move up and hold the steering wheel, getting back onto the correct side of the road. Stopping is impossible, when his foot is stuck on the gas pedal. I have to crash the car. But what the fuck do I crash into? I can't just ram a fucking pole or building! The road we're currently talking leads to the pier right? I could go in the ocean, but what about this guy? Can I save him? Is he already dead? While we are on a straight road I move up to the passenger seat and buckle my seatbelt. A car appears out of the junction, forcing me to swerve hard. As we drift I brace for impact. I crash into a entrance of an alley. I jolt back and forth as I get showered in glass I have cuts all over my arms, luckily I didn't get any glass in me.. I think. I have to get out of here. Running on pure adrenaline I grab my bag and climb through the windshield, walking into the alley.
I can't stop, they'll find me otherwise. How long have I been walking anyway? Is the driver dead? I honestly don't care at this point. He tried to kill me, serves him right. I feel my legs giving in. Is this really as far as I can go? I fall onto my knees after what feels like an eternity walking. I'll.. Crawl if I.. Have to..
