Golden String ➵ H.S. [COMING SOON]

Sneak Peak

Amelia slams her feet on the breaks with a scream when a figure appears just to the left of her car, waving his arms in front of him. It was lucky she wasn't going all that fast as by the time her car comes to a complete stop, the stranger has his hands placed on the hood of her car.

Gripped with fear and shock, Amelia manages to look around herself quickly to see if there's any other cars behind her, and is pleased to note there isn't. A sharp knock on the passenger side window makes Amelia whip her head back round in alarm, another yelp leaving her lips.

She can just about make out the stranger waving frantically at her through the window in the dark night, and the muffled sounds of his own shouts. He frequently looks behind him, as though checking to see if someone was following him, and against all her better judgement, Amelia presses the button to roll down the window of her car.

"Are you okay?" She asks loudly, not missing the slight tremor in her voice as the cold February night air disturbs the warmth of her car.

"I've just been robbed," the man pants out in a slow accent, which Amelia finds odd considering his level of distress, "Those - those guys," he gestures behind him wildly, and she follows where he points to see a very vague outline of several figures just up ahead by a pond, "they've got a knife, please can I - can you help me please -"

With her heart beating a mile a minute in her chest, Amelia does what any sane person wouldn't have done and unlocks her car, steeling herself and muttering a firm "Get in."

The man lets out a relieved gasp and hastily slings open the door and slams it shut behind himself as he slides into the seat. Without checking to see if he's strapped in, Amelia puts her foot down on the accelerator, eager to get as far away from those men as possible, even though for all she knows the danger might be sitting right beside her.

But something about his voice...the outline of his silhouette...Amelia couldn't help the flicker of recognition igniting in her head.
