Evanna: Run

2: Caught

Eva's P.O.V.

"Hello is anyone home? This is the police"

What the hell was going on?

-
I was just laying in my bed when my best friend facetimed me. "Hey Eva", she smiled.
"Hey Ava", I said back and we laughed. It was actually funny having a best friend with almost the same name.

"So how's your vacation going?", Ava asked while taking a sip of her cocktail. I was jealous. She is in Hawaii while I have to stay here in my boring ass hometown.

"Fucking boring. I wish I could've gone with you", I said annoyed. My mom didn't let me go because she is a bit overprotective and she also told me that she needed my help here. So, since I'm still not 18 I have to live by her rules. But her rules suck.

"Hey don't be sad. We can go next summer cause then you're not a minor anymore and your mom won't have a say", she tried to cheer me up. But it didn't help. I still had to spend this summer here.

"Ok but tell me what am I supposed to do all this summer long in this boring ass town?" I groaned. "Is Katie still there or did she also leave?", Ava asked.

"Yes, she went to her grandparents for a few weeks", I turned so that now I was laying on my side.

"Oh okay... what abou-", All of a sudden I heard something break downstairs. It sounded like glass. But I was home alone. My mom was at work. Maybe she got earlier home. Well, I hoped that it was her.

"Eva what was that?" I heard Ava say with a very concerned face. Even she heard it since the crash was so loud.

"I don't know. Could be my mom or not", I said while I heared a door being opened downstairs. Did someone just break into my house or is it my mom who might have forgotten her keys? But why wouldn't she just ring the doorbell instead?

"Eva? Is there someone in your house?"

"I don't know wait a sec", I told her and called out for my mom, "Mom?"

I received no reply. What the fuck? It started to scare me, so I headed towards my mother's bedroom and grabbed the gun that she hid in one of her drawers for emergency cases. I quickly walked back into my room and picked up my phone.

"Eva what are you doing?" Ava looked so shocked when she saw the gun in my hand. I told her to shut up as I called out for my mom again, "Mom is that you?"

No reply. Again.

I picked up my phone and tried to speak as quiet as possible "Okay, hear me out I am going downstairs and if I'm not back by 10 minutes call my mom and the police, okay?"

"What are you out of your mind you're not going downstairs! Call your mom and the police now!", I had to lower the volume of my phone because she was literally screaming.

"No, what if it's actually my mom or what if it's just a  stupid prank? I'm going downstairs, just remember if I'm not back by 10 minutes do what I told you"

I saw that she wanted to protest but before she could even say anything, I interrupted her, "Bye, love you" and with that I ended the call and made my way to the staircases.

Adrenaline was rushing through my body. What if I got killed? No not today please. My hair doesn't look good today and I still haven't had my nail appointment. I can't die like this.

As I was walking down the staircases I saw a blonde girl standing in the kitchen with her body turned towards the backdoor. Suddenly something caught my eye. She had a gun, too. The fact that she thought she could just literally break into someone's house and kill them. This ain't no Call Of Duty. Who the fuck is this psycho bitch?

I slowly approached her, "What the fuck are you doing here?", I asked and pointed the gun at her. She turned around and looked scared as fuck. Her face turned so pale and her body was shaking.

This bitch is probably suprised that she ain't the only one with a gun here. She didn't respond to my question, so I spoke up again, "I asked you something, so fucking answer".

"I-I-", she could barely say a word. Is she trying to trick me? Was this supposed to distract me?

"Who the fuck are you and what are you doing in my house?", I asked angrily and tightened my grip around my gun.

She let her gun fall on the ground and lifted her arms up, "Pl-please, don't sh-shoot, pl-please" she said while crying. I started to worry a bit. Like why the fuck is this girl breaking into my house? Does she want to steal something or kill someone?

But why does she look so scared? She even disarmed herself by letting go her gun. Her body is uncontrollably shaking and her breath seems very unsteady. I think she is having a panic attack.
-

The police was here. But what did they want from me? Did Ava call them? Ugh I told her to wait but I knew that she wouldn't listen. Or wait-

What if the police was actually looking for this girl?

The doorbell rang again. "Hello? The police is here. If anyone's at home open up the door please"

I was about to walk out of the kitchen towards the front door until the girl decided to speak up, "I beg you, don't open up the door, please", she said quietly, so the police wouldn't hear her. Gosh, she looked so desperate.

"And why shouldn't I?", I didn't know her, so why should I trust her anyway?

She bit her lip and thought for a moment before answering, "I-I can't tell you that"

"Okay, but tell me why the fuck should I trust you? You broke into my house with a gun", I said a bit loudly which made her flinch.

"I-I know and I'm so-sorry", she breathed out "b-but trust me, I don't want to hurt anyone"

My body was telling me to open up the door for the police but someting in my mind was telling me not to do so.

"Seems like no one's at home let's go", I heard one of the police officers say. A few seconds after they started their cars and drove away.
