Heartbreakers: The Journey Through Darkness- Book 2

Chapter 16

Yulia's POV

I'm driving past the beautiful countryside, watching as the sweet farm animals graze on the grass or sit there, completely relaxed unlike me, who's in a rush to leave this cursed city. Pedo Pedro, that's the nickname I've given him, replaced my dad and now I have to run from more people than before.

It's much better now. I'm alone, just in a car, driving to wherever it takes me. I don't care how long it takes, but one thing, I'd love to be somewhere as calming and beautiful as the villages beside the motorway I'm driving on.

It's really dark now and the only way I can see the time is by checking the little bar above the steering wheel. It's two in the morning. The dark, clouded sky rumbles above, casting white, flashy lights as they target the trees. Howling winds shove the car ever so slightly as it speeds on the wet, slippery roads. Glistening stunningly, the golden moon begins to droop lower, making way for the sun to arrive as the darkness of the night and early morning wear off.

My body feels stiff after driving for hours yet I'm still stuck in the loop of driving. I wonder what has happened to the others, I saw Red driving right towards me but the police were in front.

Imagine if he got caught?!

Crazy thoughts came to my head, mainly the thought of Red getting caught by the police. Shrugging it off, I focus on driving. I know it's going to be a long journey but I still have to carry on trying. I'll end up getting out of this mess eventually.

As I drive on and on, I finally get to a part of the road that looks slightly busy, making me feel like I'm going the right way. The road I was driving on made me feel like I was completely isolated and was leading myself straight into a trap.

The lanes are slightly full but the vehicles go at a pace which doesn't make me angry, thankfully it's all moving at the right time. Quickly and without pausing.

*****

A few minutes go by and I've finally found a stop where I can refill the half empty tank and get something to eat. Parking the car, I quickly step out and set off to fill it. Opening the little door which leads to the tank, I hold the gasoline pump in place, relieving the engine of it's thirst.

I wait for it to completely finish before putting it back and taking my card out whilst I make my way to the small building. Opening the door then stepping in, I pay up for the petrol before going to the refrigerator and taking out a drink then picking a packet of crisps to go with it. After paying for the extras, I go back into the car and drive off the parking land and make my way further ahead. I've finally left London and the other stupid area we were staying in, in the chalet, and now was heading off to a much different area.

I was just on the motorway, heading for Birmingham. I had heard that it was a multicultural area but the only problem was that the crime rate was already high enough but it didn't matter, as long as Elijah and the others didn't find me here, it would do just finely.

As I'm driving, a strange feeling keeps shooting at me, sending chills down my back as I try to steady my driving. The feeling of being watched or... something. The uncanny feeling where you know there's something wrong. It was like I was being followed or something.

My anxiety chills were coming more often in a long time, they always made me nervous but I could deal with it. I had already killed two people, those people being both men, and I wasn't going mad. Reminding myself of my crimes, my hand flies to the gun tucked into my waistband tightly. I knew I was most certainly going to need it, especially in such an area.
