We've been driving for hours, the sun is starting to come out. Harper told me Tony and her fell in love while Hunter was keeping her, which sounds just like something Harper would do. She did tell me, that she'd ease drop on Hunter when he'd be on the phone and found out he's in the mafia with Damon, of course. Hunter was supposed to sell drugs, instead he took them and never gave them the money. So he has people after him and Damon is trying to keep him alive. Apparently they grew up together, Hunter makes problems and Damon cleans them up for him. She told me more about her new "love"Tony, he's worked for Hunter for a few years but wanted to get out when his family was killed because of Hunters mess up. Apparently he had a wife and child who were murdered but someone was out to get Hunter, and since Tony worked close with Hunter, they ruined Tony's life. It was a sad story and when Harper was telling me this, I could see Tony tense up. We didn't stay on that topic very long. We're driving to a house Tony has that no one knows about. It was passed down to him from an old friend, so it's not even in his name. So they shouldn't be able to find us, at least not for awhile. Finally pulling into the driveway, there's nothing around us but thick forest. Only thing thing here is a beautiful wood cabin, he's friend must have been rich because this is so beautiful. I don't think I'd mind dying here, cause I'm sure they'll find us somehow. Going inside, I'm speechless of how beautiful it is. Looking out the big sliding door, I see a lake and across is more beautiful forest. " this place is incredible " I say to Tony "thank you." Harper wraps her arm around his waist "go make yourself comfortable. We already stocked everything we'd need. We even bought you clothes, and your room is upstairs." That's good because I didn't pack my stuff I had at Damon's house. "Thank you" I give them a smile and head upstairs. There's only one room and a bathroom up here but both are spacious. So much better than that abandoned house I've been stuck in. I take off my clothes and go into the bathroom to take a bath, hoping it'll relax me. Laying in the tub I start thinking about what Damon is doing and if he knows I escaped. I'm sure someone saw us leave and told him, I'd assume they wouldn't have let us drive off if they were paying attention.. maybe they had dozed off? It was late when Harper came. Maybe somehow we'll get out of this mess, thanks to Harper and Tony. After about 30 minutes I start dozing off, so I get out and put on some sweatpants and a black tank top. I plop down on the bed and fall asleep almost immediately.
Waking up I see the clock reads 4:35pm, well at least I didn't sleep the whole day away. I haven't had a good sleep in a while and it feels good. Getting up I head downstairs to see what Harper and Tony are doing. But when heading down I freeze because I remember my cats! Damon had his people taking care of them, now that i escaped is he going to continue that? What If he kills them, to get back at me. Now I'm freaking out and I feel my eyes swell with tears. How could I forget about my babies? Wiping my tears I continue down and see Harper and Tony in the kitchen making dinner. "Hey, Ray! Were making dinn-" as she turns and looks she sees I'm crying. " What's wrong? Did they find us?" She freaks out. " no, it's Lunis." She gives me a sad look and takes me into a hug and I break down " Damon said his people have been feeding them, but now that I've escaped what if he hurts them?" I say In between hiccups. " don't worry, me and Tony will figure it out. Just relax and leave it to us. I'm sorry, Ray. I got us into this mess." She wipes my tears away with her thumbs while holding my head. "Okay, I'll try." I say weakly. She gives me a little smile and walks me over to the table to sit down. " the food is almost done, just sit here and I'll bring you a plate." She heads back over to the kitchen and they continue cooking. Damon also told me, his been sending text messages to my mom and sometimes he'd even let my talk to her. She thinks I've been busy with work, but I'm sure she can tell in my voice when we'd talk, under Damon's surveillance, that something was wrong. I wonder if he'll continue to send messages ? I miss mom so much and Lunis. The kittens I didn't get a chance to bond with, but I still want nothing bad to happen to them. Harper walks back over with my plate and sits in front of me "done" she says with a smile. She also pours me a glass of wine. " I figure you'd need some" she says with a laugh and I give one back " most definitely ". The food actually looked good, mashed potatoes, broccoli, and fish. We made some small talk while we ate, it almost felt like we weren't running away from someone trying to kill us. It felt normal, which helped me relax more. Or maybe it was the wine? After dinner Harper asked if I wanted to drink and watch a movie with her and Tony. I agreed, and we poured ourself mixed drinks. Of course Harper would request alcohol as a need. Tony didn't drink because he said he needed to be aware of our surroundings, which made sense. After we finished our drink Harper poured us shots and we put in music. Because she said she wanted to dance, watching her dance around like there wasn't a care in the world. I became envious of how she was able to bury her feelings and pretend like nothing was wrong. Making us more drinks, Harper lowers the music a little and yells " I found games!" Looking at her I see her carrying some board games. "Oh, that'll be fun." Heading over to the table with our drinks, I sit hers down next to her and look through our options. Scrapple, monopoly, uno, and cards against humanity. " I think I wanna play Uno." I say to her. She sets it up and we play, after a few hours we've played all the games. We both are drunk and Tony shuts off the music. "I think it's time to go to bed, girls" me and Harper both say aww but Harper agrees and I comply. I stumble over to the fridge and grab a bottle of water and a snack. "Goodnight" I slur to Harper and she hugs me and heads with Tony into their room. They are probably gonna fuck, I don't care as long as I don't hear it. After ten minutes of trying to balance myself up the stairs I make it into my room and sit on my bed.
Hearing some rustling behind me I turn my head and see Damon step out from the dark. "Hello, beautiful".
