Imagine a World Like That

Day 1 (continued)

God damn it. I hit a person. Curse my bad driving skills. I got out of my car and ran to the girl on my hood. I pressed my fingers against her neck to feel for a pulse until she sucked in a huge breath. I jumped back and pulled my pistol out to her out of habit. She threw her hands up before wiping her bloody nose.

"Please don't kill me, I beg of you!" She said in between sobs. I lowered my gun and put in in my belt lock. She lowered her hands while crying on her knees.

"Are you okay?" I asked her.

"No... No i'm not. My family... they found out and I don't know what to do." She broke down in front of me.

"What are you..." I asked strictly. I couldn't let her find out about me yet.

"I-I'm a.... Please don't kill me!" She yelled. I shushed her

"What... are... you..." I kneeled beside her.

"Im- I'm a bad one." She whispered while crying. I grabbed her scratched up hand and got her to her feet.
"Wha-What are you going to do to me?" She looked at me with glossy eyes.

"Shhh I'm going to help you. but for me to do that, I need you to talk to me." I said while leading her to the passenger seat. I walked to the drivers seat and sat in it before starting it up again.
"Start talking"

"Okay uh, my name is Leah. My fake name is now Mars. Please call me Mars. I am a "bad one" as people say. I have mind control powers and can read peoples death cause... I don't know what else to say." She avoided eye contact.

"Hmm. Prove it." I said.

"What?" She responded.

"I said prove it!" I yelled. She stared deep in my eyes before she looked at my arm. As I looked at her, my arm lifted up and slapped me in the face. I shook my head and laughed a bit. She chuckled a bit as well. I straightened out and looked at her sternly.
"I believe you. and since I believe you, you are now my partner for our journey..." I glared at her. Her smile grew big and I smiled back at her.
"My code name is Sky. You will call me this in public for now on... and your code name will be Mars... got it?" I said to her. She nodded her head slowly and sighed.

"Got it..." She whispered a bit.
"Sorry about the car by the way, I was running for a long time and didn't pay attention" She said sincerely. I gave her a sorry look and smiled a bit.

"No worries, my car still works," I gave her a little nod before starting the car up again and driving down to the border of Wales and the UK.

Leah fell asleep peacefully in the car. I was growing tired myself. Looking at the clock on my car, it was already 1am. I looked around the neighborhood we were in but couldn't seem to find a comfortable place to hide out for the night. Guess it's the car again Amber... I parked at an old abandoned warehouse and unbuckled my seat belt. Leah started shifting a bit in her seat so I slowly lowered her seat so she could sleep better. I myself also pulled the seat down and grabbed the pillows and blankets from the back. I gave small taps on Leah's shoulder but she was passed out. Damn, how long did she go without sleep? I put my long fuzzy blanket on top of her sleeping body before I, myself, put covers on me. I grabbed my journal again for a continuous entry.

Alright this is an extra entry for the special occasion. I met this woman named Leah. Me and her are like the same people which feels nice for once. I haven't had a good conversation in a very long time before she came. She has long black hair that is curly and she also has very sharp features on her face like her jawline and nose. She had a couple freckles on her t-bone that made her look a little more cute than hot. I cant lie, she is very good-looking and I don't know if it's my libido or my longing of human connection but she is gorgeous. Lets see how our relationship develops. Oh yeah I also forgot to say I hit her with my car. How romantic? I think she's okay, she only got a bloody nose and cut on her arm. I made sure to clean her up before having her in my car. I'm not a germaphobe but when it comes to blood, my skin crawls. She still managed to look decent though. I wonder how she sees me in her eyes. I hope she thinks i'm cool and confident because I need that slight ego boost at the end of the day...

anyways goodnight and heres to another day!

I closed my journal and threw it under the seat since I didn't want Leah or anyone else to read it. I turned on the radio for some background noise before longing into a sleep state. Last thing I remember before I fell asleep was the song "American Pie".
