Chapter 12

''Moon, they're here.''

They both got up quickly from the bar and grabbed their stuff. They nodded to each other and ran off, exiting the bar trough a secondary exit.

They were running trough the narrowed streets trying to lose them.

''How..How did they know we are here?'' Moon asked huffing.

''Probably someone turned us in, we can't let them catch us, they have too much proof.''

He grabbed Moon's hand doing a sharp turn on a dark alley. They slowed a bit down till they heard the police's dogs barking. They wanted to resume their fast run but Moon's clothing got caught in a random nail from the abandoned building they were next to making him trip.

''Just run I'll catch you up.''

Zojah nodded and ran off. He knew the small streets, they were like a maze. He managed to take out of his backpack while running a different shirt to put on. His run was getting slower, getting exhausted, he slipped a bit but continued to run smoothly.

He hides after a building as he doesn't hear the dog's barks or the police sirens. He realises they might've caught Moon if it's silence again.

He slumped on the dusty concrete. He was resting against the wrecked abandoned wall. He was trying to catch his breath but he heard steps. He stopped breathing loudly to hear better. He quietly got up sticking to the wall, pulling out a knife. It was a confident walk, once he hears the other one close he turns around the corner stabbing them in the stomach. They put their hand on the knife gasping for air while spitting blood.

''Oh. Oh no.. no.. no'' Zojah started to repeat worried. Moon's body started to melt and become heavy, he tried to grab him but fell on his knees. Zojah threw himself on the concrete bruising his knees from the strong impact. He was panicked he didn't know what to do, his hands kept changing their direction.

Moon put his hand on his shoulder while he couldn't keep his head up trying to nod to comfort the other.

''I am so sorry, i thought-..''

His whole body falls on Zojah, making him fall back. He noticed on his arms fang's tracks.

''Fuck, I should've stayed with you.''

He gets up grabbing him up as well carrying him on his back. He went with him in a bus station and sat him there, he took the clothing off himself that he put on as cover and tied it up against his waist to stop the bleeding.

''Lucky us we're in a part of the city that's abandoned I guess.''

He took out of his backpack a container that had pills, he took two and gulped them down then rested his head a bit after wiping his knees from the dust hurting a bit.

''Once we do out dream come true, we will live well. I promise you.''

Then he turned his head looking at him, what was he even doing.

''I'll see you later then, I called for help, I'll find you again, in the future, just stay alive.'' Zojah gets up, takes his backpack and leaves, not after long a car coming by, taking Moon in.

He ran off but he couldn't pull the nail off his clothing , by the time he managed to the dog jumped grabbing his arm with it's teeth, pulling off his skin. He groaned in pain and his eyes squinted as he clenched his teeth, then kicked the dog with his leg. The blood started dripping he knew even if he ran he would leave a trace.

He looked around and ran jumping on a container then entering trough a big hole on the first floor of the abandoned building. The whole neighbourhood was full of abandoned and destroyed buildings. He was looking around for some staircases to go back down. He was distancing himself from last place he almost got caught knowing where Zojah would run to. There were bricks everywhere covered in dust.
