Revelation

Chapter ten: Confused

My eyes couldn't believe it. The man standing before me was actually there. But I just couldn't accepted it. It was too good to be true. I kept staring as he did too. He was probably feeling the same exact way. I remember reading it in his eyes. From all people and he's the one I bump into, and hes the one who recognizes me. Even with my diguise I guess it wasn't enough at least for him.

"Pete?" I said softly. I could still see his confusion in his eyes. My guess in that moment was that he didn't know I was being looked for or maybe he did? After a few seconds he gave me a small smirk. I was frightened by it because maybe he was after me and was finally happy that he found me. He will be known as the hero who captured the villan and then those with the guns will know where I am and kill me. The end.

"You know I can recognized you anywhere."

My heart relaxed knowing my mind was only exaggerating, "Thats good to know."

"Hold it right there ma'am. Are you the one who ran over this man." Pete and I both heard a police officer walking towards us from behind my car say.

"It was an accident officer I got this under control." was the last thing I heard Pete say before I dashed off. I wasn't going to wait around and get arrested. No way sir, I made it this far and I was still attempting on saving more lifes, even my own. I wasn't going to give myself in untill I understood what in the bloody fuck was happening. I pushed my way through the crowd of people and into a random alley. I knew I still wasn't safe when I heard his voice calling behind me. There was no possibly way I was going to stop, who knows what on Earth he'll do to me. So I ran and ran until my feet gave out. It took a long time for me to arrive to my motel but I made it.

Made it along with Pete, unfortunately. He didn't stop running and I can tell he has experience. Obviously hes a detective but I never pictured him being so in shape. I not so much, my heart nearly died and my lungs almost gave out. I was covered in sweat as I tried opening my door I knew Pete was near by but not sure how close. My hands couldn't stop shaking and my breathing got harder to do everytime. I wish Pete wouldn't have followed me and there was no way his voice could have gotten out my head. He kept shouting my name over and over but I never listened. He even swore things would be okay and that he wanted to help. Yes sure help, such a lie. Its his job to hunt me down.

Once I twisted the door knob and stepped inside I landed on the floor by a massive force. At first I had no idea what was happening but soon after I realized it was Pete. I somehow still managed to keep fighting. I crawled my way to the bathroom and used my feet for defense. Pete continued shouting thing but I ignored to listen. I wasn't going to be killed because of an Ex boyfriend.

"I said stop!" he shouted putting his entire weight on me. I could still move my poor little feet and my arms were useless once he snatched them hard on the ground. We were face to face. After all these years I felt his breath on me again. He has grown, taller, stronger, even smarter. But his face changed. Even more handsome than I wanted to admit at the time. We were only kids when we met and so many years had passed of course we'll look different. I couldn't help to notice that he looks like a man now. His face is more defined and serious. As his eyes continue being the same. Dark blue that you can easily fall into.

"Now that your calm can you explain to me why you were running?"

I said nothing.

"Isabel speak to me, please."

I still said nothing.

"Why are you afraid of me?"

"Your trying to kill me." I said but it nearly came out as a whisper.

"Me? Why would I want to kill you? I'm actually trying to save you. After what happened in that facility; you must be a mess." He pulled off at last. I immediately moved away from him.

"Why does the FBI want me then?" I said. I didn't want to face him it was too much.

"They only want answers."

"Yeah, sure." I pushed him out the way and looked for the remote control.

"I'm not lying to you Isabel, theres no need to run." he sounded too sure of himself but I wasn't believing a piece of it. I shot the TV alive and the news appeared and just like I expected.

"Reporters say Isabel Jennings is being wanted for murder. Last seen was downtown L.A chased by detective Pete Steele."

"Yeah so much for keeping me safe." I give him a sicking face.

"What?" he took the remote from me and turned up the volume. I didn't know what use that'll make. In mind I had to get away from him. That was a main objective. Somehow make my way to another motel and stay hidden.

"The FBI are now looking for Isabels mother, Leslie Jennings." I heard. "The FBI are desperately wanting answers. What is this facility underground, why is Isabel the only one alive and why is she murdering?"

I snatch the remote control and shut the TV off. They're after my mom? Oh for crying out loud these morons are going to get everyone killed. Its all my fault and yet I still couldn't call her. What in the world was I supposed to say? This is getting out of hand. Being accused of murder now? I can't understand and probably won't.

"Isabel?" Pete whispered distracting me from my thoughts.

"What do you want?" I hissed.

"I know you're no murderer. I was there. It was an accident. If you let me tell-"

Then bam. Someone was attacking the door open. This shocked both me and Pete, poor him not even knowing what was happening. I thought quickly and grabbed my stuff knowing they'll break through the door any second. This wasn't the FBI they aren't as smart as the bad guys after me. 

"Open up Princess we just want to talk."

I know that voice, it still haunts me.
