HER ABILITIES

1~oh crap!

Nova's POV 

As I ran deeper into the forest gasping for air, looking back every second to see if he was still following, I tripped on a log. I quickly rush to my feet and kept sprinting to who knows where. I finally came to a stop and took in my surroundings. I've never seen such a place before. It seems to be a lake sitting in the middle of the forest. It was beautiful and quiet, quite calming really. The smell of green flowing through the air. I forgot why I was running until I felt his hand cover my mouth and I couldn't focus on anything but him anymore. 

Oh Crap! He found me. 

My body starts to shake in utter fear of what'll happen to me. He lifted his hand hesitantly and I slowly turned around to meet his face. He looks at me with his hazel eyes and whispers "Do you trust me?" I thought about it for a second and answered "No! Why would I trust you?! You're one of those people!" 

"I'm here to help you, if I were one of them, I'd kill you a long time ago...follow me." he states as he walks in the direction of the lake. I stood still contemplating on whether to go with him or not. I heard shouting in the distance and decided that it'll be best to follow him. I mean, if he wanted to kill me, he would've by now...right? 

So I followed him. I thought he was gonna push me in the lake or something but he didn't. He kept looking back probably to make sure I was still following him or that someone was behind us. He walked along a path beside the water and I follow quickly. I could hear the voices catching up to us. I was panicking. Like he sensed it, he turned around and held my hand, interlocking our fingers. " Calm down and breathe. I won't let them get to you." he says. Now I don't know if I'm frozen in place because of his soothing voice, our intertwined hands or because I'm afraid. 

Even though his appearance isn't friendly looking he was still attractive. He's wearing all black and his curly dark brown locks are scattered from all the running. His skin glistens in the sunlight that peaks through the trees as we run. His voice is also like a grumble, very deep. I didn't realized we stopped until my face collided with his back and I stumble back. 

"Don't move." he whispers as he puts his finger up to his lips indicating to me to keep quiet . His lips are really plumped and pink. 

Focus. 

I do as he says. I don't move. "They're close, stay close." he says softly as we continue walking. He grips his side and I realize that he's armed. I slowly walk behind him before he takes another halt. He looks at me like he's debating something in his head. "Do you know how to use a gun?" he asked. "I guess." I mumble. " Yes or no?" he asks impatiently. "Yes." I nod and he pulls out two guns from each side of him. "Take this." he shoves it in my hand and I almost drop it. 

I stared at the black object in my hand. I twirled it around my index finger and pointed it at the bush faking a shot then blowing off the tip of the gun like they do in those old time movies. I heard a throat cleared and I jumped. I forgot he was still here. "Can you not?" he mumbles as he holds up his own. 

"Can you not?" I mock him quietly while rolling my eyes, hoping he didn't hear. He definitely heard because he turned around and shot me the scariest glare I've ever seen. "Do you want them to find us?" he whisper shouts and I feel like curling up in a hole. "Sorry." I whisper. I feel a lot calmer now that I'm armed. He turns around and keeps walking as I follow. 

What crawled up his butt and died? 

We walked and walked until I couldn't feel my legs. How far into the woods are we. We heard a noise rumble and looked around, but saw nothing. We heard the noise again but no one was there. We stopped to listen carefully where the sound was coming from. Looking down, I realized that the sound was me, my stomach growling. I looked away sheepishly, cursing at my stomach for being hungry at a time like this. 

"Can you shut that up?" he snaps. "It's my stomach...how do I shut it up?" I squint my eyes at his stupidity. Well that was dumb. Suddenly, someone in the same all black clothing as his appears in front of us. Damn, where'd he come from? 

"There she is!" the man yells as he pulls his gun up. "Oh crap!" I say as my eyes widen. The dude whose name I still don't know pulled his gun up and shot the man in a swift motion. I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts that were going through my head and we ran. 

"You're on their side, aren't you?" I ask as we were now sprinting through the woods. "Not exactly." he says from ahead of me. "Not exactly?" I'm kind of confused but he doesn't explain. We spot another shrek looking man coming from behind two trees. This time I raised my gun and shot him right in his thick skull. Scoree!! He looked at me with what seemed to be shock and amusement. "How did you-" "it's the CIA training" I said with a wink....

He was staring at me and I heard more shouting in the distance so I lead the way instead. What? He's not the only one who could do super cool awesome stuff! I wanna join in on the fun. He followed behind this time as we stumbled on a group of the troll looking men. We can take them. I go left, he go right. We'll be like Bonnie and Clyde. Wait, Bonnie and Clyde robbed banks, we're running away from men who wants me dead.

We certainly don't want to end up like them and we would if we don't start killing. With that I looked around to see five men running my way. I held my gun up and pointed it towards them. Dead, dead,dead, dead, dea- he docked my bullet...MY LAST BULLET. Well damn, what movies he be watching. The man came running towards me when he drops to the floor. I looked to see dude with his gun pointed at the now dead man.

"Damnnn." I grin. He has already taken out the rest of trolls. He's good. "Come on." He say and grabs my wrist as he starts running. "You know..." I say between breaths. "We make a pretty good team even though I don't know who you are." I mumble as we run. He just keeps running. "What's your name?" I ask out of breath. He needs to slow down before I pass out. He has an advantage, he's like a million feet taller than me.
