Im going to a house which is next to a street and the forest I was in the whole time. I knock on the door. A young woman opens it with blond hair and a smile. I tell her about my situation and that I need to call my parents. She's really nice and worried about me. I can directly go into her house and she leads me to a phone. I type in my mothers phone number and wait.
„Hello?" my mom says. I am silent for a few seconds. Hearing her voice again makes me want to cry and run to her to hug her.
„Hellooo?" she says again
„Mom.." I say
„Oh my god! Helena?! Are you there??"
„Yes. It's me mom" I start to cry
„Where are you? What happened? Are you alright?"
„I'm fine, I don't know where I am though."
The nice blond lady hears that and tells me that we are in Greenwood, a city in Arizona. I tell it to my mom.
„I'm coming to you directly, I will get you home again darling, it's okay. Do you have a place to stay for a night?"
„I don't have any money so no."
The nice blond lady talks again:
„You can stay here if you want to. I have a free room upstairs."
„That would be so awesome. Thank you so much!" I answer
„So you have a place?" my mom asks
„Yes, the nice lady that gave me her phone lets me sleep here."
„That's great, I will book a flight to Arizona right now. Tomorrow we can talk about all that happened, okay?"
„Okay, then see you tomorrow!"
„I will come as fast as possible, bye!"
I end the call. I could also have called the police but I don't really want to. I mean, I've shot Elijah in the leg. I think that's revenge enough. But the feeling of him going to prison is making me sad to be honest. I've had feelings for him, I just don't think that my life will be good with someone who kills people. I also don't really want to tell my mom the truth. But what should I tell than? That I've got lost in the woods. Nope. I can tell that I have got kidnapped but not from Elijah. Someone unknown. But then I need to call the police. Shit. I don't know what to do. I'm really exhausted from all the running and I'm dirty from all the dirt in the forest.
„Is it okay for me to go to the shower? Just a few minutes? I don't want to sleep in these dirty clothes and dirty skin."
„Yes, of course. I can get you some clothes."
„That's awesome thank you" I say. I don't know how much I could thank this woman but I don't even know her name. I guess I also don't need it.
I go upstairs to the shower. While I clean myself with this ladys products, I still think about what I could tell what happened. Before all of that happened, I was in my room in my department in California and I watched some video that I got send but I don't remember it anymore and then boom, I was gone. What could have happened to me? Maybe I could say that I just needed to get away from home and relax for some time. And maybe also that I found a guy here I really liked and I wanted to live with him but then he had an affair and now I want to go home again. He also took away my phone and was an asshole which didn't let me talk with my family. I think that's a great story to be honest. Now I have my alibi. I get out of the shower, put on the clothes the lady gave me and go to my bedroom. The room has multiple windows which is really nice but to look at the forest is kinda scary. I just think that he would come out of there and get me again. I need to sleep over that thought. Good night then, I guess.
