Chapter 11: New

ASHLEY

"NO! No, please stop" I cried. Shots. Multiply shots rang and soon after bodies

"Why? Why did you kill them". They were harmless! I yelled at silhouettes. This has been happening repeatedly, shooting, screaming, cries, wicked laughter. All of this happens but all I can see are just silhouettes.

"Please, I beg you. Don't ignore us!" They yelled. I won't, I mustn't. I shut my eyes and ears close, I won't witness this again. I'm tired of this, so I do what's best. I ignore. I ignored the shooting, the screaming, the cries of pain, the laughter. EVERYTHING.

I'm running. Running away from people I do not know, people who wish to cause me harm. They are closing in on me and I'm pushing myself to go faster. I have no idea of where I'm going to but I'd go anywhere to be away from here.

"Get her! Don't let her escape". I heard someone yell. Suddenly I tripped, falling face flat on the ground and there they stood, right behind me, laughing at me, mocking me.

"Nowhere to run baby girl" He laughed sinisterly. I'm shivering in fear, in fear of what they're going to do. He suddenly brought out a gun.

"Any last words?" He asked

I jolt back to life. I could breathe, like I was once dead or something. Someone was holding my hands, sending sparks through my whole body. I can feel the person opening my hands, holding them, the hands were warm, really really warm. There was a small wave of something I couldn't explain but I'm not complaining. My hands were been wipe with something soft and wet. I wanted to move, to see, but I couldn't, I felt stiff, all of my energy felt drained. My hands were placed back, by my side and I felt sad, I wanted the person holding them to continue, that little but yet strong gesture. It made me feel alive. The feeling of the warm hands were still tingling.

I tried opening my eyes, but my lids won't budge, I kept trying and trying but still. After a few minutes I tried again, and this time they open. 'Thank goodness'. Everything was blurry, I had to blink several times, once everything was clear, I looked around and everything looked different. I was in a kind sized bed with covers on me, the room was dark and it was night time. I moved the covers off me while my body cried like hell, everywhere ached, my head, my leg, my entire body. I felt exhausted but I've been laying for God knows how long.

I placed my legs on the floor, even though they wobbly, I tried standing and I swayed almost falling. Almost. With shaky legs and cloudy mind, I looked around. There were two doors. One was close while the other was at the further side of the room. Assuming that's the way out of this crazily spacious room, I walked to it. My legs kept shaking like I haven't used them in centuries. I twisted the door knob and it clicked, I poked my head out, looking for anything but found none, so I left the room, closing the door softly.

I walked through the hallway, looking for nothing in particular. I passed a huge window, where the moon shone brightly into the hallway, giving the place some kind of blue color. I was able to look at my outfit, more like shirt. It was a long shirt, stopping mid thigh, the sleeves were folded up to my arm and it had an intoxicating scent but it was faint. It smell like ashes and mint, it was a weird combination but still intoxicating. I left the hallway and I was met with stairs. The stairs were wide, fancy and it had rails, I climb down as quiet as possible. Once I got down, I couldn't make a thing. I kept looking around till my eyes spotted a silhouette. It was tall, huge and was standing behind something. I think it saw me, cause the next thing I knew, it was right in front of me. My eyes were wide like footballs, I felt so scared that I could piss myself but that wasn't what bother me. The person stood so close to me and I could almost make out the face. Almost. It was a guy, his face was stolid, he just kept staring and I did the same but I was caught off guard when I looked at his eyes. His eyes were blue, not just any blue but icy blue. They seemed to glow and I thought just maybe I was hallucinating. I needed to make sure, I wasn't seeing things, so I moved my hands towards his face and those eyes, watched my every move. As soon as I placed my hand on his face, I drew it back, gasping softly.

I gasped for two reasons. One because he was real, the second because I felt serious, overwhelming sparks. They felt like a heavy wave of electrical current. I took a step back which resulted in him talking one forward.

"What are you doing down here" He asked and I looked at his lip. 'He talks!!'

"You should be in bed". He said while I gulped. Who was he? And how did I even get here? I tried remembering anything, something.

My head began throbbing and I placed my hands on it, to stop it but it only got worse. I subconsciously took a step back and my legs failed me. I was falling, and to make matters worst, I was on the stairs. 'The kind of bruise'. My body shut down and I clutched my eyes tight, waiting for the impact that never came. I was suddenly crushed to a warm, hard chest.

"Always falling" I heard blue eyes mumble, till I fell unconscious

_______

I felt alive. My body was flowing with energy. I could run a 200meter race. I turned around and was met with the harsh sun rays, making me groan. I opened my eyes careful and my mouth parted. This room was huge. The room had a black and white design, well mostly black, the bed I was laying on was so heavenly, so soft. I was so tiny in this bed, it had white covers and had a black mattress. Weird.

I slowly got up, looking around. There were two doors, one which I already knew as the exit. I took the one closer. When I got in, I froze. Like literally. The bathroom was totally breathtaking, it wasn't huge but it had a fair amount of space. It had black tiles and white tub and some other few things. It had a sink with a mirror and toothbrush. I walked completely inside and I cling at my reflection. I looked sick, my hair looked like a wild forest and I was in a blue shirt, a few buttons were open and the left sleeve fell off my shoulder. I used the toothbrush 'hope it's new' I had a nice warm bath. It felt like I hadn't showered in ages. I stepped out with a little towel, walking to the wardrobe 'Which I just found'. I found some shirts and shorts but no underwear. I didn't want to wear clothes without an underwear but I had no choice. The shirt was big, it reached mid thigh and I had to really really pull the ropes of the shorts, so it wouldn't fall off. Once I was done, I walked out hoping not to bump into blue eyes. Yes blue eyes.

I hadn't gotten halfway through the hallway and the smell of food invaded my nose. I almost ran to where the smell came from, I was at the last stairs but I was scared. I didn't want to meet Mr. Blue eyes, I don't know why but I always feel so many emotion whenever he's around and it makes me uncomfortable. I took a deep breath 'I don't wanna starve' and walked out. I saw a lady, she looked old but not too old. Her back was facing me, so I couldn't see her face. She was on a wine blouse and black skirt, her brown hair stopped just below her shoulder, she also had warm chocolate eyes- wait eyes. She was staring at me. I could feel heat rising to my cheeks and she laughed which only made it worst.

"What are you doing standing there?" She asked making me confused.

"Come take a seat. I made rice". She said placing a bowl on the counter. I hesitated. I didn't know her, what if the food was poi-. My thoughts were cut off by the loud, I mean really really loud grumble. I held my tummy while I turned scarlet. 'Why did you have to do that now!!'. I scolded my tummy. I sighed, well it's pretty obvious I'm starving, so with that I walked up to the counter and good Lord. The sight was able to make my mouth water, the smell was just wonderful. I didn't realise I'd taken my seat till I felt the burning food in my mouth. It tasted glorious for the 2seconds, it stayed in my mouth before I spat it out, back into the bowl. 'Fuck' The food was super hot, like a burning red metal. My tongue was sore but I wouldn't let this food win. It going down my throat, with that in my mind, I took the spoon again, ready to put it in my mouth till I heard the woman say something.

"Blow it this time, it's still very hot". She warned. 'Yeah, could have used that 10seconds ago'. I wanted to say but gave her a nod. I blew it before I ate. I hadn't taken up to 10spoons when a man walked in. He was dressed in all black suit, a golden wrist watch, expensive leather black shoe, black hair, pointed nose, jaws sharp enough to cut through any and everything. He had icy blue eyes, eyes that bored into mine, unable to keep staring, I looked down.

"Samantha, I'm leaving" His thick husky voice booms through the room.

"Aren't you going to eat?" The Samantha asked, but he doesn't answer, just walks out.

I tried to eat my food more humanly and not think about Mr. Blue eyes.
