I need someone by my side

I could feel the sweat on my hands from the fear of getting caught. I had no idea if those men were really the ones I should be running from but my heart could feel the negativity emerging like rays from their evil eyes.

I suddenly felt a warm hand on my shoulder. I was about to scream but that person covered my mouth and sat beside me. When I calmed down, I came to know that it was Elian. He slowly removed his hand from my mouth and still stared with a sense of insignificant value for me.

"You..." I stood up taking the dust off my clothes.

He stared at me with anger and frustration.

"Go back with me" he ordered folding his arms and giving me a full-on attitude.

I cackled, resisting him and walking away.

As soon as I took two steps forward I saw one of those men again. I ran back to hide behind the truck where Elian still stood proudly.

Elian suddenly pushed me back as I realized one of the men was about to catch me. I fell on the sand. I saw Elian fighting with the man. He jabbed him and hit him and it was remarkable.

In no time the man fell on the ground, unconscious.

I couldn't believe what I just saw. ELIAN COULD FIGHT...

After knocking him out Elian gave me his hand to get up. I thought for a second or two and decided to stand up on my own.

"You didn't have to help me," I said rudely even though I was extremely impressed.

He chuckled a little still rudely "Coming or not...I don't think you will want to wait for his companions to arrive here too" He started walking "I won't be there to knock them off to"

That was the time I felt like I was in a desperate need of people I can call friends, for now, someone I could trust.

And just like that I put my ego away and ran and joined Elian.
