Chapter 4
The jump was not very good. The pain spread in the footsteps, but the fact that there was earth and grass, instead of concrete, somehow improved the situation.
But it costs freedom.
Looking around to make sure no one was around, I shook my legs, trying to get rid of the impact of the impact on the ground. And then she walked along the wall of this house, trying to seem unnoticed. When I reached the end of the wall, I carefully looked out, and my surprise was when I saw a smoking girl standing next to me. The brunette took a drag and, after a couple of seconds, breathed out the smoke.
“Where are you from here?“ Asked the girl, still looking into the distance.
“I...“ I do not know what to answer, entering a slight stupor.
I don’t know if she’ll turn me over to them. Who is she anyway? Also from the "Darkness" gang? Or, as the guys put it, another girl of easy virtue?
“Well? “ the girl threw the cigarette on the floor and pressed it with her heel, thereby extinguishing it.
The brunette folded her arms over her chest and leaned against the wall, continuing to examine me.
“You're new? Hmm, I guess Hailey, right?” “Yes,” how does she know me?
Looking around, I noticed the guard. He walked around the perimeter, but when he began to come closer to us, my pulse quickened. My palms were sweating with exertion. It seemed that the girl would immediately call a man and my escape plan would be covered, but fortunately the guard passed us and disappeared behind the building.
“Are you somebody's girlfriend?Although, I doubt it. You're too tense,”the brunette muttered, looking over at me.
“Help me escape from here, please,” I whispered softly, looking around.
The girl narrowed her eyes, listening intently to me. She really pondered my request.
“No. They will kill me if I help you escape. So you were brought here by force, right?”
“Please,” I asked again, ignoring the question, because the answer was obvious.
“Come on, I'll take you to Jay,“ the stranger pulled her hand to me, but I stepped back. “Let's go!”
“No, I’m not going anywhere with you,” I rummaged, running away from the girl. There seemed to be no guards in this place, this was the only thing that made me happy. I ran where my eyes were looking. I don't know where the exit was. But it was necessary to act according to the circumstances. Constantly hiding in some bushes, I ran from one to another. Some maps were built in my head, places I had already studied. A cloud of lightning suddenly descended over me when I got to that point in the area where there were a lot of guards. I was in big trouble. Because of this, I had to sit in one secluded place, hiding from them, for hours. Two guards caught my eye when they began to approach my location and I ran scared in the other direction, but to my misfortune, they managed to notice me and were now running after me.
“Stop, bitch! “ shouted an armed man, but I continued to run.
It became more and more difficult to breathe and I began to take a deep breath in my mouth. I was losing my strength, but I continued to fight for freedom. I ran out into the square next to the left building. A guy came out of the torture building and when he turned around, I was horrified.
Dean was standing right in front of me. His curly hair was tousled and his face was bruised. Bruises mingled with tattoos all over his body. I stopped and began to turn around. What to do? Dean is in front and there are guards in the back. Spit. I ran to the cars. Dean frowned, but later a smirk appeared on his face and he confidently followed mine.
What's happening? Am I stumped? Am I on the wrong path?
Dean waved to the men and they stopped. I ran faster, trying to hide or try to find a way out. There were only cars around. I stopped, catching my breath. My heart was pounding and I could no longer run. It was a parking lot that turned into a garage. I went to the car and tried to open the door, but it was closed. I'm stumped. Around there are cars and nothing else. I heard approaching footsteps, and I was thrown into a fever at the thought that it might be Dean. I quietly walked to the very end so that he would not hear me.
“Your escape plan failed, right? “ Said the guy, entering the parking lot.
I sat behind the car. His steps were careful and his voice was incredibly hoarse. I covered my mouth with my hand, trying to calm my breathing.
“You could run away. Do you know that?” His steps became clearer, which meant that he was somewhere very close.
I'm scared. The body turns hot and cold. My skin got goose bumps and my hands started to shake. If he finds me, he will do what he did not have time to complete. He will do it and it seems he does not care about the left body.
“Do you want to play hide and seek?“ The guy was just behind the car I was sitting behind.
My frightened eyes examined the asphalt and finding a cobblestone with my gaze, I took one pebble, and then, at my own risk and fear, threw it in the opposite direction. A pebble hit the car and its alarm went off. The sound engulfed the entire parking lot.
“Good. One, two, three. I'm going to look for you,” the guy grinned, there was too much sarcasm in his voice.
He came out from behind the car and looked in the direction where I had thrown the stone. He stood with his back to me and I prayed that he would not turn around. Dean was silent, but still stood still. The alarm had died down and every rustle could now be heard.
“What the hell are you doing here?“ A voice growled behind me.
I was so carried away by Dean that I did not even hear extraneous steps. The guy quickly turned around and, without even looking at me, approached the one who was behind me.
“She wanted to run away. It is necessary to follow,” the guy said indifferently and walked away.
I turned around and got to my feet, stepping back. One less problem, one more problem. It does not matter.
“Remember. If you try to escape, you will feel very bad afterwards,”Jay snapped, and his eyes took on a blue tint.
I took a step back, came up with the following steps. I'm not going to give up, and it's not my style either. I pulled as fast as I could and ran. As I ran past the cars, I looked back, praying that the guy would not run after me. But I was wrong again. Jay ran at my heels and, in an instant, grabbed me by the waist, he threw me on his shoulder.
“Let me go!” I screamed and hit him on the back with the stupid hope that he would let me go and I would leave here forever.
“Shut up!“ Jay raised his voice and dragged me away from the parking lot.
“Let go! Put me on the ground! I'm not going anywhere with you!“ I continued to fight back, but apparently this guy only made him more angry.
“Shut your mouth, bitch! “ Jay put me on the ground and I did not have time to react as he hit me.
My cheek was instantly engulfed in fire and I put my cold hand. Tears appeared in my eyes, but I tried not to cry in front of him.
He stood opposite me, hands clenched into fists. His breathing was heavy and the muscles on his body tensed. Jay quickly turned away from me, running his fingers through my hair. We stood near the left building, screams were heard from there, but I did not pay any attention to it. My gaze focused on James, but I also saw another silhouette behind the guy. Dean stood outside the building, a cigarette between his fingers and smoking relaxed. He looked at us and his favorite grin appeared on his face. He understood what had happened. The brown-haired man walked past us, shouting along the way: “When you take her to Rose, do not forget to knock! She's not dressed yet! Louis was with her!“
“Come on,“ the blond walked forward, never turning to me.
I had no choice but to follow him. I've had enough for today. We went into the house and he took me to the second floor. When he reached the room, he opened it without knocking and went inside, dragging me there too.
