One Mystery One Life

Chapter 14

Alex P.O.V.

"It's your fault" Annie accused. This has been going on since this morning.

"I admit but you were involved too" I told her and she pouted. "Geez! Why did Iris had to come in the first place" She exclaimed in utter dismay. I sighed and sat on the bed.

"So what are we supposed to do now?" I asked her and she sets a terrible expression on her face, like someone puked on her mobile phone. We are in a great trouble. The trouble is not Iris it's us. We messed up a big time. I figured out that she was not sick and Iris was worrying uselessly. That's set, but the problem is that when we went to Chuck's we saw him there. Figured out Chuck is his friend and the problem is that he brought Chuck over to his house. We tease (give him a hard time) Chuck a lot. Now we are waiting for him to go so we could get out of this room. We can't show our faces to him.

Now we are stuck in this room and I am starving. I want to get out of the window now. The window now. The window... The window we can get out of this window now. Why didn't we think of this before.

"Annie!" I started thinking if she will approve of my idea. Her head turned towards me and she stared at me with a bored expression. She is waiting for me to say something.

"We can crawl out of the window" I told her and a sly smile made a way at her face.

"Okay Fair enough" She gave a pause "But we have to jump down you know... or maybe climb down the pipe line" She said and grinned. I sighed and I got up. I can't wait to get out of here. I have been starving for hours. I rushed towards the window and looked down at the dump sitting down there.

Now this is the bad part. I looked back at Annie to see her with her arms folded. She poised for me to be the first on to go down. I gulped and set my foot on the window sill.

I opened the door and rushed inside of my beautiful house. I am really thankful of the lovely house and I want to get in the kitchen now. Annie followed me in and the both of us rushed towards the kitchen. I opened the fridge and picked up the first thing I saw. An apple, I love apples.

I bit into it and Annie also brought out an apple. We began munching on food more and more greedily until we were full. I sighed and the both of us decided to go to my room. After a little while I remembered about Jack and Rebecca and on consulting with Annie I was informed that they were back in their house and Iris should be taking care of them.

After a little while we decided to go to the park and of course have some fun. We don't want Iris to come and find Annie here. After all she got a little bit of temperature this morning.

We wore hoodies and got out of the house. Our identity must remain hidden(from Iris). We walked along the footpath in the cold chilling air. I like this cold so much. Perhaps I love it. I chuckled and paced up. I started taking steps ahead of Annie and ran before she could. I was running but didn't feel her presence. I guess she's not following.

I Looked back to find no one there. Maybe she just went across the street and ran. This is so scary. Being alone on the streets like that. I haven't went out much at night's before. I hurried up and ran to the park.

If I get there I might find her. Or she is back somewhere. There was an ally at the street though; right where Annie was standing. I guess she ran into the ally and is trying to scare me. Sounds more like her.

I am here, she's not. Where is she. I could hear my heartbeat now, am so worried. She's not there. Maybe I should run back and check on her. I guess I should. With heart pelting fear I dragged my foots to run back. The cold wet dewdrop hit my face as I went on. It is so cold, my face could freeze. I crossed the street and saw the ally... Not only the ally. There was Annie too and a guy, who had Annie gripped in his hands. He stood with his hand on her waist and mouth of course. There he kicked her in order to make her fall down, but she didn't.

I took a step back in fear. What is this guy trying to do. Either way he's done too much already. Trying to get his hands on my friend and kick her. This guy is gone. Only I can kick Annie. Those are my friend rights. Am going to kill him. I could feel the fear in me turning into the anger of a lion. May god spare him.

I slowly walked towards him, making sure not to make a noise.

"I'll make sure you pay for this. Annie Julian" He exclaimed and I'll make sure you pay for this fool. Looking at the size the big muscled fool, it seems pretty obvious that I can't put up a good fight. But I can sure try some petty tricks.

"Give me my stuff, real stuff" He barked.

So let's began with the first step. Kick between the legs. Bend down and one in the stomach. Step at a side and a punch on his neck. And now finally at popliteal (knee pit) making him fall. I looked at Annie finally who was trying to catch her breath and the guy who has his hands in his crouch.

I kicked a few more times in the guy's stomach and grabbed Annie's hands.

******************

"Who was that guy Annie" I asked her.

"Just some random guy. Maybe he mistook me for someone else" She replied. She's clearly lying, but I won't ask her if she doesn't want to tell. She's clearly lying.
