Chapter 3 - Lina meets Dave

That'll mean a lot Simon. Anyway let me leave before anybody sees me , I need some time to think and draw up my plan"

"Okay be safe and don't take long" Simon says in a concerned tone.

"Im always safe outside this gate , anyway I'll be just fine"

I was walking on the quiet street of Jump City as fresh air blew my blue long hair smelling great until a car stopped just infront of me and a man came out.

"Why is a lady of your age walking around in the middle of the night?" A familiar voice of the man said.

Who could that be?? I turned and behold it was the famous star Dave Carter .

" what I'm doing out here this time of the night doesn't concern you Mister" I say rolling my eyes at him

"You look familiar" he said looking at me closer and I couldn't help but admire his clittering green eyes as I looked up at him since he was a bit taller than me . His cologne smelling like heaven , i wished I could close my eyes and surrender in his arms . The softness of his fingers as he trailed his finger on my cheeks tucking the lose hair behind my ear . That is when I realized that I was drooling over the demigod infront of me and I immediately composed myself.

"Really now , we just met and I already look familiar? How strange" I said rudely ignoring his direct gaze .

"Your blue hair , your golden eyes , I swear I've seen someone like this somewhere but I can't quite recall where I saw you exactly"

"No sir we haven't met and my eyes aren't gold they're yellow I don't know why everyone says they're gold" I said lying . I knew that I used to see Dave many times when my mother was still alive. I remember one day when Mom took me to the park and I spilled my ice cream on Dave and his brother laughed at him. He wanted to yell at me but I was already apologizing with teary eyes. That was then and I'm glad he doesn't remember.

"Okay Miss Rudey it's really not safe for a lady of your age to be out here this time of the night all by herself. There are a lot of rapists and murderers out here and I'm pretty sure you have heard of the serial killer in the news" he said and chuckled

"Don't you worry , I'm actually looking for the so called murderer or serial killer it would be so unfortunate if I meet the rapist instead. The serial killer is who I want right now I'm pretty sure that he/she won't be afraid of doing me a favour I'm looking for''

"What favor can a serial killer offer that I can't?" He asked and I laughed at him.

"Seriously now... Look Dave I don't mean to kill your ego ,okay? You are rich and famous that means you can grant many people's wishes but you are way too much of a coward you can't grant my wish not even the great Santa can so let me go before I miss my chance"

'was that supposed to be an insult?"

'what? Me insulting almighty Dave Carter ? Noway. It's not an insult but a perfect description of a man standing in my way of getting what I want"

"Okay Miss Rudey, what exactly do you want from the serial killer? Or you want him to teach you how to kill without getting caught because if that is what you want I believe you are stupid because at the end of the day they'll get caught and justice for those he's brutally killed will be served"

"Oh please, what justice? Huh? Justice in this corrupt country stop watching movies Mister because what you are saying only happens in those stupid action movies if not my mother's spirit would be at rest now but it's been almost 2 years and her murderers haven't faced justice system anyway that's not what I want from the serial killer. I want him to do me the honors of taking me away from this cruel world so I can go be reunited with my beautiful loving mother" I said

He looked at me probably trying to trace some kind of a joke in me but I kept a serious look.

"You can't be seriously wishing to be dead , do you know how many people wished to see this day but couldn't, can't you atleast be grateful for...''

"Oh hell no with that grateful speech . Should I be grateful that I'm living when my mother is dead ? Should I be grateful and thank God for keeping me alive when my mother was brutally killed right infront of me. Should I pray and say God thank you for loving me , when I know that he hates , if he loved me so much he couldn't have taken my mother away from me , atleast if it was time for my mother to leave this world did it really have to happen right infront of me. You know nothing about watching someone you love die in your arms when you can't do anything to safe them so don't you dare preach to me about being grateful" I yelled as tears that I don't know I've been holding back rapidly flowed out clouding my sight . Just then I felt strong arms wrapped around me embracing me in a tight hug and I cried even more leaning my head on his chest. I don't know how but I ended up feeling safe in his arms . I felt even better showing my vulnerability on him and when I was done crying I felt like a heavy weight has been loaded off my chest but he couldn't let me off his arms .

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you cry..."

"Lina" Simon's voice called from nearby and Dave let go of me looking at him.

"Do you know him?"

"Yeah , he's my ...my brother"

"Oh okay , can we talk?" Dave said to Simon and I looked at them both

"Yeah sure, Lina go back before they notice you're gone I'll be there shortly " Simon said and I nodded turning back home.

As I walked back the cool wind blew off my hair clearing me up . I felt better and even stronger . Who would have thought that a hug is all I needed oh maybe not just an ordinary hug but a lil tears too.

"You're blushing" Simon said standing beside me

"No I'm not , I'm just smiling like an idiot " I said and laughed

"So what did I interrupt back there" he asked raising his brows

"Oh ... It was nothing... Really ...I ... Was just "

"Why are you stuttering "

"Oh come on Simon it was nothing just a hug "

"And you were crying on his shoulder"
