It was obvious he was going to put the police all over America after me.
Behind her too, at last she released the caged demon.
Damn Harold.
- Great, now it's official, we are fugitives wanted all over the country. - Eliza says nervously.
- Why put such an ugly picture of this one ? -question ignoring her outbreak.
- True, your hair was awful baby. - Juan says and Eliza stares at us.
- Are you not understanding the gravity of the situation ? - asks incredulously and I roll my eyes.
- I know it's new for you, but you get used to it with time, just take a deep breath. - I answer and she shakes her head and gets up at once and then falls on top of me.
- Shit, damn ankle. - annoyed curses.
- If you wanted to be on top of me, all you had to do was say, I don't care so much that you don't fall on me out of nowhere like a sack of potatoes. - I mock just to annoy her while she leaves me with the help of Juan.
- Don't be mean to her. - says my friend after taking the girl off of me. - She got involved with a super drug dealer who was trapped in a madhouse, it's not her fault she was scared. - says amused and I smile while Eliza rolls her eyes.
- You know what, I'm going to the bedroom to try not to freak out at the fact that my life has been turned upside down because of you. - she says, annoyed pointing at me.
- I didn't force you to go to that place to look for me, much less get me out of there. - I say standing up to face her. - You think I'm laughing because I'm happy to be chased by the police wherever I go ? - Angry question. - Well, I'm not, but there's nothing I can do about it now, I'm sorry to be involved in this, but I didn't force you or ask you for anything, so stop talking as if I had involved you in this from purpose. - complete is she bites her lip and closes her eyes.
- You didn't ask, so I should have left you there, but too bad I can't let stupid people get screwed. - she says and opens her eyes looking upset and then walks away.
She rolls her eyes as Juan sits on the arm of the sofa and pretends to look at his nails and I know he wants to say something.
- Say it. - I say returning to sit down.
- The two are arguing for nothing and you should have given her a discount, the girl dreamed of you for months, then found out that you weren't crazy in her mind, took you out of that horrible place, ran away from the police, had an accident and now found out that she officially became a wanted woman all over the country just for doing something cool. - she says and I sigh. - Do you think it's been easy for her to assimilate all this ? -she questions and I roll my eyes. - You're brutal baby, but not stupid, so try to be more friendly with the girl who saved you from having an unhappy life in that hideous place. she-she completes and then gets up and goes to the kitchen leaving me alone.
I take a deep breath trying to contain my irritation, but fail when I see Harold giving an interview on television saying I'm a highly dangerous madwoman is making up a thousand lies about me.
I guess I just wasn't crazy when I stole those loads for him.
Damn you !
I will finish him.

Who does she think she is to talk to me like that.
I should have let her rot in that place.
Ungrateful !
I hear a knock on the door and then it is opened by Juan who puts his head into the room.
- I can enter ? - he asks and I nod.
He walks in smiling and sits beside me on the bed looking out the window just like me.
- I want to apologize for the brute mare in the room. - says calling my attention. - She's always been so antisocial, but she's a sweetie when you can get to her icy heart. - complete fun.
- I don't want to get to her heart. - I say looking at him. - Actually I don't know what gave me to do this great idiocy that I did. - I continue and he looks at me attentively. - I don't know why I went looking for answers about her, I don't know why get her out of there, I just wanted to believe that I'm not crazy, but all I managed was to end my useless life. - complete and he places his hand over mine.
- We don't always have the answers for everything, but believe me when I tell you that nothing is by chance, Eliza. - he says seriously looking into my eyes. - This is all part of something that you will discover in the future, so there's no point freaking out now or trying to transfer anger and fear to someone else, you just have to trust your intuition, you have to believe in yourself. - complete and I sigh.
- My family always said that I'm crazy and that I would end up doing shit. - I say looking up. - Looking at me now, I think they were right. - complete smiling weakly.
- I don't know you very well, all I know is that you saved the life of someone who means a lot to me. - he says and I look at him again. - This doesn't seem like a crazy person's thing to me, it sure deviates a little from the standards of normality, but the fact that you're here now having this conversation with me after saving someone you don't know just shows how much you have a good heart , think about it. - completes and then stands up.
He kisses my forehead and then leaves the room leaving me alone with my thoughts racing.
Okay.
He doesn't think I'm crazy.
This is new for me.
But I wonder what will become of my life now that I am sought after by the entire country.
I can't stay here abusing the hospitality of people who have no obligations to me, I need to think about what to do with my life now, maybe flee the country, change my identity, I don't know.
I think I need to see some movies so I can come up with an escape plan.
I can't stay here too long.

After spending the day thinking up a thousand different ways to kill my disgraced stepfather, I finally felt calmer about the whole situation. I walk back to Juan's house adjusting the cap on my head when I see someone familiar in a denim jacket with a hood on his head, a mask covering his mouth and nose, vests and orthopedic boots.
Eliza.
What is she doing out here ?
Does she take a walk ?
Do not.
She is leaving.
She walks calmly towards an alleyway that gives access to another street and I see two guys following her, sigh getting into an internal fight with my intuition that asks me to go after the girl while my stupid side screams that she's leaving without saying. nothing, so she's not my problem anymore.
I don't owe her anything.
I must not.
I don't have to care if she's in danger or not.
She was leaving, so let her turn around, right ?
As soon as she and the two men are out of my field of vision, I gasp as my heart screams for me to go after the girl.
Shit !
Shit !
Shit !
Stupid girl !
Why does my heart have to be soft right now ?
I don't even know her.
She's not important, she doesn't mean anything to me.
I mentally curse myself as I run towards the alley and as soon as I turn the street I don't see any of the three, I walk further and see that there's another alley further ahead, I cross the street and head to the next alley and then I see her down on the floor with one of the guys stepping on his injured leg and it pisses me off.
Damn you !
I'll kill him.
- I'm not sorry to disturb, but this girl belongs to me. - I say drawing the attention of the two idiots and the girl whimpering in pain. - I ask you to take her filthy paw off her leg before I lose her head. - complete serious and he smile stepping harder on the girl's injured leg and I grit my teeth.
- What are you going to do princess ? - asks the other idiot who was further away just watching. - Will you fill me with kisses while begging for help beside your friend ? - he asks mockingly and I smile.
- Of course, I'll beg right now. - I answer and then use my telekinesis skill to bring the lid of the trash next to my hand.
Then I throw it right smack into the throat of the idiot standing in front of me who spits blood nonstop while I smile knowing this was fatal for him.
- Sorry, I can't hear right, do you want me to beg for more ? I ask sarcastically as he brings his hand up to his neck and then drops to his knees.
- You bitch. - yells the other and then kicks Eliza in the face.
- I'll kill you with my bare hands. -I say feeling my hands shake with hate and when he tries to run I make his leg break.
Then I bring him to me and look into his eyes.
- What are you ? - asks scared.
- I'm the monster you shouldn't have crossed the path. - I reply smiling devilishly at him who screams.
I shove my hand into his mouth with a closed fist until it crosses his throat causing his jaw to tear as he chokes on his own vomit. Not thinking enough I take my hand seeing him vomit and then take the cap I used on his friend and then use it to hit his neck several times until it breaks and breaks him in half. I smile contentedly and then look at his friend and think I should have killed him more slowly.
- Next time I'll be more entertained. - I say wiping my hand on the dead man's clothes and then I stand up and look at Eliza who seemed to be about to wake up after having passed out after being kicked.
I walk over to her, pick up her sweaters and put them on top of her who looks at me confused with her bloody face.
- Helodi ? - she asks groggily and I put her hands around the sweaters so she can hold them and then I pick her up.
- Hold the moles as you can, I'll take you back to the place you shouldn't have left. - I reply walking with her who looks around.
- What happened to them ? - he asks as we pass by the two bodies. - My eyesight is blurry. -she says and I sigh.
Excellent.
She doesn't need to see this and she doesn't even need to know that I'm a monster.
- They got what they deserved. - I say calmly walking hurriedly with her in my arms.
- You helped me. - says and smile weakly.
- Yeah, I helped. - this is just what I say.
Any possible dialogue between us was stopped before it even started and as soon as I walked through the door Juan and Mike ran towards us, the taller one grabbed the vests and then I put the girl on the couch so he can take care of her.
- What happened ? - Juan asks scared.
- I did something terrible, don't you see ? - debauchery going to the bar to get a drink and he comes after.
- Stop playing the clown, I know you wouldn't hurt her. - he says and analyzes me. - You killed again didn't you ? - he asks and I smile.
- I gave two worthless cowards what they deserved for hurting a helpless girl. - I reply laughing when I remember the way I killed those two.
- I don't know if I'm happy or worried to be seeing that insane side of you again. - he says worriedly as I take a sip of whiskey straight from the bottle.
- I was as nice to her as you wanted, so here's a toast. - I say taking another sip of the drink and he laughs.
- It wasn't just because I asked. - he says and I look at him. - You wanted to help her. - continues and I roll my eyes. - She should be inside the room resting, but her being with you makes me think that she ran away and that you found her in trouble and helped her of your own free will and still brought her back here. - complete smiling wide.
- Take that stupid smile off your face, she doesn't mean anything to me, I don't know her and I don't care about her. - I say and he makes a mocking face in response. - I helped her to return the favor she did me by taking me out of that place. - complete and he yawns falsely pretending to be bored.
I push him away and then turn my back on him and head into the bedroom listening to his scandalous laughter.
Idiot.
Eliza too, how come she didn't think running away with a sore ankle would draw assholes' attention ?
She is an easy target injured.
Why am I thinking about this ?
I don't care about her.
I saved her to make us even.
Just that.
