Finding myself

Luna To Be

     Months since the horrific incident happened and I haven't seen or spoken to Angelo since, I am now on my third trimester. It's hard to be pregnant without any support system such as family, father of my child, or friends. I had to get away from everything, it was such a strange position to be. I feel drawn to Angelo all the time and I am not sure if it's because I'm carrying his child or real feelings.

*Flashback*

My hands felt sweaty as I drove at maximum speed out of the city Angelo lived in. All I had with me, was a credit card that Angelo gave to me to buy baby supplies. I wondered how much money is on the card and if I would be able to withdraw some money from it. I drove to an old gas station in the middle of a deserted area. Looking behind my shoulders, I rushed into the gas station card in hand. I realized there was a atm machine in the gas station. I wonder how much money I can withdraw ???

"Hi ma'am how can I help you" An older white woman asked. She had the sweetest voice I have ever hard, I felt at ease around her. She radiated the same feeling, I received from Angelo.

"Hi I would like to use your ATM machine" I asked in a quite voice.

"It's right out back" She responded with a deep southern accent.

I wonder to myself where she was from originally. Since we don't live in the deep the south but hastened my steps to the ATM. Time wasted meant that Angelo could easily locate me. Especially since he's some type of demon, who can transform into a wolf. Hands shaking, I entered the pin and checked the balance. I immediately chocked when I realized there was about 200,000 in the checking alone and 500, 000 in the savings account. I thought he said that he just opened this account for baby things.

I contemplated how much I needed and what would be too much. Damn it! I need to hurry. I decided to withdraw the maximum amount that I can. I withdrew 15,000 in total from multiple transactions. Why the hell does this ATM have so much money? I don't know but I quickly zipped my bag closed and checked my surroundings dashing to the door.

" Wait sweetheart do you not want to purchase anything" The old lady questioned from behind the counter.

I felt bad that I just came in here and used her ATM for my own personal use. So I went to the fridge grabbed three bottles of Coke and then two bags of the purple Doritos. Lastly I grabbed a whole bunch of candy. The old lady smiled at me and I felt better that at least I purchased something.

I paid for my snacks and then ran as fast as a pregnant woman can to a car. I then threw everything into the passenger side of the car. Then I realized that I might need gas, laughing I ran back inside. Gave the lady $100 and told her to keep the change that's left after I got a full tank. Then I began driving without looking behind me, to the nearest airport which was a three hour drive.

* End of Flashback*

I bought the first flight out to the Netherlands . There's nothing specific about the location, I guess at the time the country reminded me of Neverland with Peter Pan. How much of an escape it was for lost kids and I felt lost at that moment. When I landed I changed out my USD to there currency and rented a Airbnb. From there I looked for jobs and I got two jobs. One as a waiter at a Italian restaurant and another working as a sales representative in a makeup store. Months after I rented an apartment and I've been content since.

Growing up my home wasn't really a home. I felt confined by rules and others. I hope that I can provide a safe heaven much like this for my kids someday.

"Tiffany there's a customer at table seven" Ashley called out before heading into the kitchen.

I grunted as I got up from my chair, pregnancy isn't all that they have made it out to seem. Especially nearing the end of it; I grabbed my notepad and walked to table 7. Without skipping a beat, eyes pierced on my notepad I asked. " Hi what can I get started for you on your order?"

"Tiffany I've been looking for you, for a long time" I raspy voice that I knew all too well complained.

Immediately my heart jolted and I backed away. Turning to run but he grabbed my hands. Oh shit! It feels like I've pissed my pants. I looked down on the ground and sure enough I did.

" Tiffany calm down, your water broke" Angelo said calmly as if he was an expert.

I don't want to have my babies anywhere near this creature. Yes, babies because I am having twins and this couldn't be the worse moment. Everyone started at the scene created by the pregnant waiter and the strange man that has never been seen in this town. Ashely ran to my aid and so did the managers.

"Somebody call an ambulance" Angelo yelled as he lifted me into his arms.
