Waking Up Dead

Chapter 9: Bambi Blood

Before I begin you might have noticed that I have changed the cover of this story (if you haven’t noticed then shame on you . . . jokes) and I would like to firstly thank the wonderful designer MissTery5 for the lovely cover and my dearest friends NessieBessie and Bushra for helping me pick this cover out of the 5 that MissTery5 made because it was hard to choose, so thank you guys xx

“That is the most beautiful car I have ever seen and I’m into bikes by the way”

“Shut up Jackson” we instantly both went quiet.

“Get in the car” thankfullythe stranger broke the silence.

“You can’t drive you can barely walk, give me -” the stranger hobbled past me to the boot of his car.

“It’s my car so I drive”

He opened the boot and took out two water bottles, without warning he chucked one at me but I instantly caught it which surprised me mostly.

“Wash your face I don’t want blood all over the leather”

I don’t know if I should be embarrassed or annoyed but I was too tired to pick one emotion so I went for both. The stranger started to pour water all over his face and neck then on his chest and started to rub the dried blood away. I couldn’t help but stare at the way he cleaned himself and how the water glistened in the light it looked like something from a television advert, oh god I’m turning into a hormonal teenager. He did not bother to dry himself as he reached inside the boot and took out a clean t-shirt his jaw tightened as he began to place the shirt above his head.

“It’s rude to stare you know”

“No . . . I . . .” definitely embarrassed this time, turning around I quickly unscrewed the bottle and accidentally poured half the water down my face.

“Great” I mumble praying that he did not see that, but the sound of his chuckle proves me wrong.

“Give me that” Sammy snatched the bottle and began chugging down the rest of the water and strangely I did not argue as I wasn’t thirsty for it.

“Are you both going to stand there all day?”

Turning around the stranger was now sitting inside the car with the engine running how he got there without me hearing him move or the sound of the boot closing I have no idea.

“Still star struck are we” the stranger smirked.

Rolling my eyes I got into the car and the first thing I did was look into the side view mirror discreetly to see if there was any blood left and thankfully no, but now my shirt was soaked at the top in pink coloured water. Thank god I was wearing a bra.

The stranger leaned back into the black leather seat and closed his eyes whilst inhaling deeply he started to rev the engine, his shoulders slumped as he let out a low sigh.

“Oh I have missed you” he mumbled to himself.

“Okay . . . are you done” he still had his eyes closed as he gave me the middle finger.

“Now I’m done”

I gave him a crazy look as he started to reverse the car, I was about to say something when Sammy interrupted. 

“Where the hell are we going?”

“Yeah where are you taking us?” I asked.

My body was flung back as the car went from 25 mph to 60 mph in an instant and it continued to increase, he swerved the car as we came to a sharp corner and I nearly whacked my head against the window if he didn’t grab hold of my arm in time.
