For the third time a slap was sounded. And a guy was seen spitting out blood in agony. Jayden gave him a puch . Making the guy groan in pain .

" You asshole !! How could you allow him escape !!". He thundered .

"Sir we....we didn't allow him ,we only went into the mansion to warm ourselves and then few minutes later we got back only to find him gone ". The guy cried . Jayden gritted his teeth .

" And what explanation does that make huh ? You nonentity, you're so useless at your job . Where the hell is he now !!". Jayden roared insanely.

"Sir....sir we don't know that yet but surely we'll find him ". One of the men said,Jayden faced him with a hard glare and immediately the man whished he hadn't spoken .

" You had better ". He growled and stormed out of the room.

The whole street was quite ,only Nathan could be seen walking and almost falling as he kept on looking back . He diverted into a corner and stole the sweater he saw hung on the cloth line . The sweater made the bruises and blood stink  his body ,but he cared none the less. He continued walking and entered an old abandoned building, immediately Nathan slumped tiredly in the ground and before seconds closed his eyes to sleep .

Nathan woke up with a pounding head ache,he let out a giant groan as he opened his eyes , making the bright sun ray welcome him immediately.

"Shit ,". He muttered and recoverd himself. Immediately Nathan jumped from the bed , forgetting the pains he felt .

"Where am i ?". He asked  himself as he starred at the old strange room. He removed the duvet that covered him and was about flying through the window when a strange elderly looking woman came in.

"Oh, you're awake . Thank goodness". She smiled walking towards him. Immediately Nathan shifted back as if sinking into the bed if possible.

"Relax son, I'm far from hurting you alright ?". She said ,still keeping the smiling face .

"Where am I ? Who are you ?". He asked.

"Like i said , relax okay you're safe ,trust me". The old woman said again walking towards him .

" Stay back !!". Nathan yelled . She halted in her steps blinking in surprise and confusion.

" For the last time who are you and what am I doing here !". Nathan barked ,the woman smiled warmly .

" Kid,i have no delight in harming you . Believe me ,I took pity seeing you in that condition".

" What condition ?  ". Nathan arched his brows.

" I saw you lying half dead last night ....you look drenched and beaten . Your sweater was soaked in your own blood ,i couldn't just leave you like that ". The woman said . Nathan looked at her in confusion.

" Where did you find me ?". He asked trying hard to remember last night .

" You were at my ware house ". She replied.

" Excuse me ?".

" Son,I was at my ware house last night , checking out my goods when I saw your body by the entrance of my door ,seeing your situation i couldn't just leave you like that so i offered to help and here we are ". The woman replied.

"Where is this place?". Nathan asked looking round the room.

" You're at my place - my house ".  She answered,Nathan looked at her .

" What location is this place ?". He asked .

" The out sketch of the city ". She said. Nathan got up from the bed and walked towards the window and raised the cotton. Indeed it was the out sketch. The environment looked small and void ,he couldn't hear cars or even see people. All he saw were cows, feeding on a valley far away.

" Weird ". He muttered surveying the environment.

" Don't worry , you're totally safe here son . This place is a lonely place so whatever you're running from you needn't be afraid anymore ". She  said ,Nathan turned to face her with a hardened blank look but said nothing.

               One  month later....

" Nathan !!". A voice called ,Nathan looked up to see Theresa coming towards him. He ruffled the cow's back he was feeding and walked to her .

" Hey ,". He smiled .

" C'mon are you in love with the cow ,you've been in the barn all day ". Theresa said . He chuckled and stroked her hair in a fond way .

" I helped old Sheila give birth ". He said .

" Finally,". Theresa muttered and grabbed his arm.

" Alright now common let's go your food's getting cold ". Theresa said and pulled him to the house . They entered the not so luxurious but comfortable bungalow.

Theresa Albert a fifty six year old woman ,the only heir and successor of her father's wealth . She wasn't married and had no children but she stayed and lived alone almost all her life . She diverted her father's money into farming and animal husbandry. She takes care of animals , especially sick ones and after a year or two of treating them and getting them back on their feet she drives into town to sell them . She lives and prefers a quite lonely peaceful life between her and her animals. The two of  them walked up to the dinning,where a tantalizing dish was kept on the table . Nathan smiled and looked up at her .

"You always  out do yourself". He said as he sat down to eat .

"Mmmm". He moaned as he took the first spoon. Theresa spanked his head. 

" Eat up and don't start with your sweet words ". Theresa said ,Nathan chuckled .

" But you love them don't you ?". He teased and she rolled her eyes. She sat down near him , watching him eat with pure joy. No doubt she'd come to have deep love for him over the past one month . He'd told her his story and where he came from ,making Theresa grow more interest him and wanting to help him .

"So concerning your plan are you still gonna push through with it ?". She asked . Nathan looked up at her and straighted,he cleared his throat.

" Yes ,I never for one minute backed out". He replied.

" But Nathan it's been one month now ,what if she's forgotten --".

" Even so Tessa I'll still go to her . She's suffering,i know it. I can't leave her there never ".

" But you almost lost your life ,Nathan you were beaten badly ". Theresa whined ,he let out a bleak smile .

" Still doesn't compare to what she'd been facing all her life . Tessa I love her and the vow and promise I made i sure will fulfill". He stated. Seeing that there was no use in convincing Tessa sighed , giving up .

" So when are you living ?". She asked . Nathan took a while before answering.

" Next two days ". He replied. Theresa reached forth and held his hands, rubbing them affectionately.

"Just know I am here for you at all times okay ? Ready to provide you anything you need ". Tessa said . Nathan let out a thin smile that didn't reach his eyes

'Your dead end has come Jayden Moorland. Just wait and see ...it's game on'. . Nathan said inwardly and let out a devilish smile.
