A princesses desires

Chapter one

I ran down the alleyway as 3 cops' cars were chasing me. One of the cops yelled out on their air horn "you can't run forever Barnes" Deputy Luke Woods said. I didn't care what that asshole had to say to me I just ran my heart burning my legs were about to give out. but I'd rather die than go to jail for something I had nothing to do with. I know it sounds strange but these cops had it in for me ever since I was 14, yeah I was a bit of a troublemaker but not that bad. As I kept running I didn't notice another cop car speeding ahead of me. I backed off as I saw the car speed past me crashing into a light pole. Were they trying to fucking kill me? I walked to the side of the door to check on the officer. I looked through the window and the dude passed out with a gash on his head dripping blood. I quickly opened the door and tried to pull the half-unconscious man out of the car. The man groaned in pain and slowly opened his eyes. "hey, hey I'm here to save you, don't try moving too much" I said worriedly. He seemed so dazed and looked at me "y-you why are you saving me" he groaned in pain "shit, sir are you okay how hurt are you?" I asked the man.

He looked at me with a worried look "my leg is stuck between the hood". fuck I thought "look do you have a knife" I don't have enough time right now those fucking cops could make it here any minute especially with one of their officers not responding. He gave me a look "what are you planning?" he asked suspiciously, "I'm gonna try to cut what I can to get you loose" I said. He sighed "there's a hunting knife in the glove box" I quickly went to the other side opened the door and then the glove box I went through it and found the knife I then cut the seat belt "why were you speeding anyway were you trying to kill me or something," I asked still shaky about it. "I wasn't trying to kill you when in the chase with you I tried to slow down my car but the brakes wouldn't work" I found it hard to believe but even if he was trying to kill me he would have shot me as soon as I stepped foot near the window. I began to slowly pull his leg to see how much pain he was in. He winced and growled. I looked closer and saw the hood of the car crash into his leg. I sighed and lifted up the hood as best I could "pull your leg out!" I yelled and he did so. It was slow but painful as hell I could tell from his screams. As soon as his legs were free he collapsed on the ground groaning in pain. I quickly went to him and knelt down "are you alright man?" I asked. He only chuckled lightly "I'm alright son it will hurt like hell to walk but I'll be alright". He said, I sighed in relief and got up "I should be going now" he looked at me and sighed "you know they'll keep hunting for you they think you murdered someone" he said. "Then I'll just keep running, I'll skip town" he chuckled. "Look, since you saved my life, I know what I'm about to do will cost me a lot if caught but I'm pretty sure cold blooded killers wouldn't help a cop when he is on his last breath. I smiled a little "there's an apartment for ex-convicts it's not a pretty place to be but a good place to hide out until the dust settles, I only ask to stay there for a couple of months, don't bring any attention to yourself, just don't do anything that can threaten your situation" He said "what about food and other necessitie" he gave me a stern look "don't worry about it i'll make sure to give send you supplies every week try not the splurge it in one go" I nodded then he gave me a card with the address and picture of the building "will I be able to sneak into my old place to collect some stuff" he nodded "but hurry the chase is still on the streets of the city won't take long before they seize your house and take your belongings" I sighed I can't believe i'm dealing with this shit. I grabbed my bag and took one more look at the officer "um sir what's your name?" I asked "the names Sage son now get on now, I think i hear the cop sirens not to far" I nodded and began to speed walk away .

When I arrived at my home it was a one-floor flat so I didn't really have much to pack. I unlocked the door and then went into my home. I sighed kind of sad. This will be the last time I will see my home for a while. I went to my room and got a small suitcase and began to fill it with clothes along with my toothbrush, ashtray, and brushes, and self-cleaning stuff. I picked up my backpack and put my laptop and chargers in there as I was finishing packing. I looked at a hairpin my mom left me before she died. She had wavy black hair and emerald eyes. My father and I loved her dearly. It struck us horribly when she died. I put the Hairpin in my pocket and took out that hunting knife I had from Officer Luke. I snuffed it in my sleeve in case I needed to defend myself. The last thing I needed was something to snack on for the night so I grabbed a granola bar, chips, a can of beer, and maybe an apple too. I then left my home taking one last glance at it. Well bye, old friend.
I walked the tight hallways of my new "home". I heard yelling and heavy thuds from the floor above me and even saw some old chap sitting in front of the building looking high out of his mind. Can't believe I have to live in this shithole for a few months. I highly doubt they'll give up in a few months, maybe years is more accurate. I walked up to the door and hesitantly put the key in the door handle then swung the door open and was hit with a horrible smell. "fucking hell is that?!" I shouted trying not to gag from the horrible fumes. "It's okay you'll get used to it" I heard a female voice say. I looked at the woman. She had short red curly hair, with slightly heavy make-up. wearing a black mini skirt and white tank top, with knee-high stiletto boots. She looked good. I would add her to my list of girls to date if I was interested in relationships that is. "Do you live here?" I asked She giggled softly shaking her head, "hell no I don't live in this dump I was just here to visit a friend" I looked her up and down and gave her a look "right" she realized quickly what I was thinking because her eyes widened "Oh no, not that kind of friend I'm a married woman. One of my girlfriends lives here?" she said trying to reassure me "My name's Rika. Rika Oakwood?" she said, giving a soft smile, holding out her hand. I took her hand and shook it "nice to meet you. the names Alexander but you can call me Alex for short" I said softening my coldness "Well welcome to the building I'm sure the other neighbors would love to greet you, they all seem a bit lonely and in need of a friend" she said I didn't know if that was supposed to be condensing or friendly Maybe both. "Well I should be going, I have to unpack and all," I said, wanting badly just to rest and clear my head. She nodded understanding "It's good to meet you Alex" as she said that she placed her hand on my shoulder "I hope we can meet again sometime, anyways gotta get back to the ole husband," She said "well goodbye then Rika," I said as she smiled then walked away. That felt weird as hell I thought finally entering my apartment. It doesn't smell too bad now that it aired out a bit. There were still parts that smelled raunchy but I'll take care of it in the morning. I looked in a room. There was a small bed, no sheets or pillows, though I groaned, really gonna sleep on a disgusting mattress that probably has lice and stuff in it. I closed the door to the room and decided to sleep in the middle of the living room instead. I got out a small blanket from my backpack and laid down using my suitcase as a pillow. I took out the card the cop gave me and saw there was a phone number "Call if you need anything" it said. I took out my phone and began to add the number to my contacts list. I then sighed and put my phone down and looked at the blank wall trying to fall asleep, Guess this is my new life the last thing I thought before drifting off to sleep.
