Jeff The Ghost

Chapter IV

I woke up in the middle of the night hearing footsteps outside the car, I looked out the window in a panic, thinking it was the king. Someone walked up to the window and started knocking on it, it was Kyle. I don't know if he was here to kill me or save me but I didn't trust him because he was one of the guards from the palace.

He opened the passenger door and got in. "What are you doing here? Are you here to kill me" I said

"No, I'm here to help you escape" he responded. "Drive, they aren't far from here" I started the car and drove away. Seconds later I heard gunshots and one came through the back window towards the front. Kyle started shooting back at them. I know hes tryin to save me but I still don't trust him.

"You know you can get killed for betraying the king right?"

"Yeah I know but, he killed my brother" he said sadly

"And you still guarded and protected him after that?!"

"Well if I didn't he would've kill my younger sister, she has a room at the palace, he won't let me go see her."

"...How old is she?" I asked

"Eleven.." He responded

I didn't know what to say, I know that should've trusted him right then and there but there's just something off, I still can't trust him, I'm still keeping my guard up.

"Just keep driving"

It got darker and darker, so we stopped at another alley and parked the car. I turned the car off and decided to take a nap.

I woke up maybe a 2 hours later to Kyle missing, I looked around in a panic seeing if he was around when I heard the door open beside. "Where did you go?!" I said

"I went to go get some snacks" he said as he held up two bags of skittles

"Oh" I said

"Did you think I got kidnapped or something?" He asked

"No..I just, you know what nevermind, what time is it?"

"Five o'clock"

"I'm going back to sleep" I said tiredly

"Ok, I'll stay up and take watch"

"Ok.."

I woke back up an hour later and found Kyle looking out the window at something, I followed to where he was looking and saw the King walking around then he made eye contact with Kyle, and they nodded at each other. They both hadn't seen me wake up I was kind of ducked down a bit from my sleeping position I was originally in. Then Kyle looked over at me and I punched him in the face and unlocked the door and ran.

I ran and ran until I couldn't anynore, I saw a dark little area with some trash cans nearby, I heard footsteps and looked behind me to see Kyle running after me with a gun. I stopped running and put my hands up. "Why?" I asked

"Because, he has my little sister" he responded

"But he killed your brother."

"Nah I just made that up"

"I knew something was off about you, I haven't trusted you since you got in the car."

"Well, that's to bad"

"Ill take it from here Kyle"  I look up to see the king walking towards us with a gun, then it goes off, I wait for the impact but dont feel it, I open my eyes to see Kyle dead on the ground, blood flowing from his head.
