(Nova's pov)
He slows down and looks at me "My name is-" a bullet flies past my ear, a little to close for my liking. We turned to see a old man in a fancy suit. We looked at each other then back at the man who tried to pierce a hole through my ear. I held in a laugh thinking about how the man looked like he was about to have a stroke any minute now yet here he is trying to kill me. The audacity.
"Give her up, Kai." the old man says as he points his gun towards us. "Aww your name is Kai, that's so cute." I trail off but he gives me a look that says shut up. "I'm afraid I can't do that, Bert." Kai huffs. "Kai, you are my best soldier, what are you doing?" the old man whose voice is getting pretty annoying says. "I know what you're going to do to people like her." Kai states. "Wait...what are they gonna do to people like me?" I ask looking back at Kai.
He looks at me and sadness flashes through his eyes but then he looked back at the old man and shook his head " You're not getting her, no way!" I was frozen in place. I seem to be doing that a lot. I am just stunned and surprised by all of this. Maybe I need a minute too take all of this in- a loud sound brought me out of my thoughts and when I looked up, the old man was now on the ground.
"You zone out a lot, don't you?" He asks. "What just happened? Did you just- but he was just-" I start but he cuts me off. "Stop talking." He says. "Sorry." I mumble. "Look, there's an exit about a couple more minutes from here, we need to hurry." He says. I grip his wrist before he turns. "I asked a question before." I say as I fold my arms. "I shot him...wasn't it obvious." He shrugs. "Now let's go." He grips my wrist. "I meant about who they are or what they were going to do to me." I huff.
He stopped and looked at me, the same sadness that flashed through his eyes came back. "They were going to experiment on you." I was confused. "What do you mean experiment on me, have they never seen a female before or something?" he watched me weirdly and said "No... You don't know do you?". He sighs.
"Know what?" I furrow my eyebrows. What the heck is this crazy man talking about? "How do I say this? Uh you're not human." He says like it's not weird at all. "What?!" I yell so loudly that it echoed. "Shhh, they'll hear us!" He says. "What do you mean I'm not human?" I ask as I throw my hands in the air crazily. Maybe I'm the crazy one and not him. "Well you are human but you have powers." He says while looking around to make sure no one is there. "WHAT?!" I yell.
He puts his hand over my mouth which made me shut up. He slowly pulled his hand away and I breathed in and out. This could either be a good thing or a bad thing but considering the fact that people are trying to kidnap and experiment on me it's probably a bad thing. "Hey! You're zoning out again." he snaps his hand in front of my face to get my attention. "Ok what powers do I have? Can I fly? Fly just like a bird" I laughed at my own corny joke. "Did you get my reference?" I asked him catching my breath. "Did you- did you just quote the lyrics from the Rio song?" he asks scrunching up his face.
"The fact that you know what Rio is is very interesting to me." I state. "Whatever, no you can't fly...from what I found out you have telekinesis and mind reading." He says. "Oh my gosh! I do?" I squeal. "Shut the hell up!" He whisper shouts. "Oh my gosh! I could be a super hero!" I say.
"Be quiet. They'll hear you" he whisper shouts. "So how do you know what my powers are? And how do I use it?" I asked.
"Long story short, I used to work for those men, well not really but they did research on you and I know there entire plan for you, which is why I'm helping you." He turns to look directly at me. "How do I know you're not a creepy spy weirdo?" I squint my eyes suspiciously at him. "You ask too many questions." He mumbles before turning around and walking away. I don't ask too many questions, I need to know if he's a spy so I can prepare my combat skills before he attacks.
I don't even have to prepare. I'm pretty sure I can take him down. He may be taller than me by a foot and a few inches but he's no match for my two friends I like to call fist to and face.
"I gotta take you back to my place, that's the only way you'll be safe." He says as he keeps walking. I see his hand go behind him and I grab it and interlock our hands together. He doesn't say anything, he just holds on tightly as we walk out the forest.
"Where do you live?" I ask. "Back with the questions, you'll see when we get there." He says. "What if you're gonna kidnap me." I huff and he stops and turns his direction towards me. "Look, I was trained to find you and take you out, if I wanted you dead, you would be the minute I saw you." He says sternly. "You wanna take me out?" I smirk.
"Not-" he tries to correct but huffs instead. I know what he's talking about, I'm just poking the bear. "Look, you need to trust me in order for this to work." He says. "What to work?" I wiggle my eyebrows at him. "You are too quirky." He says and I shrug. "For you to stay alive." He says. "Now that I've killed our leader- well, their leader, a lot of people are not only after you but after us." He says.
"Ok well why are we still here? Let's go!" I say walking off. "Wrong way." he mumbles. "Yeah, I knew that I was making sure you knew." I shrugged. We walked quite a bit until we stopped in front of a matte black Lamborghini Huracan. "Wow sweet holy heavens!!" I exclaimed. I walked around the whole car observing the beauty. "YOU OWN THIS?" I asked raising an eyebrow, amusement laced in my voice.
"Yeah, get in." He says as he walks over to the drivers side. Okay...not a gentleman. Got it! So not husband material. I open the door and sit and admire the interior.
"Wow!" the inside of the car was red and black. It smelt like coffee mocha and vanilla bean which is the absolute best. I almost melted when I saw the middle compartment filled with all different types of candy/chocolate. I stared at the sweets in front of me contemplating on whether I should "borrow" one or not. "You know you can have one right." I looked up to see him staring at me like I'm a crack addict.
I grab a hand full. He just shakes his head in amusement. "What? Chocolate is every girls weakness." I state. "Yeah?" He raises his eyebrows. "Yeah! Hey! If you ever plan on proposing to me, buy me a chocolate ring and I'd love you forever." I say before shoving some in my mouth. "Hey, we just met." He says as he looks at me. "Don't worry, we'll tell everyone at our wedding it was love at first sight!" I mumble as he rolls his eyes with a small smile. He starts the car and I squeal at the sound of it. "That's so hot!" I yell.
He shakes his head and chuckles lightly, driving off with one hand on the wheel and the other on the gear shift. "So how far are we?" He glanced at me before glancing back at road. "Well you see, I don't live here so we have a long way to go. You should get some rest since you've been running all day." With that I got comfortable in my seat and dozed off.
