CARA

chapter two

"I hope you understand what is happening right now Cara,there is no going back ,from now on you have a new life " Mr Howard said as he took a chair and sat beside my bed ,a week ago I had a breakdown I still can not believe that my family is gone, all of them... 

All I remember is me being taken to a hospital and the police officer talking to the doctor informing him that I am the only survivor .. 

"you still haven't answered my question why are you here?I mean are we related or something ?or did my dad hire you to look after me in case he died ...which he did --" my eyes started to water as I looked away from him so he won't see me   "Cara it's a complicated story and I don't think you are ready to hear it yet but I need you to trust me when I say I will look after you and take care of you and protect you from any harm I just need you to be patient it will take some time for me to tell you what's going on and even more time for you to accept what I will say to you " Mr Howard's phone started to ring distracting both of us ..."I should get this you get ready in 10 minutes so we can get the hell out of here " he said and left the hospital room

I am so confused right now ,should I just trust him and go with him or should I just run away but to where ?to who ?Suddenly  Natalie crosses my mind ...oh God how much I miss her and how much I need her by my side , at least I have her .

I got up and went to the bathroom ,I splashed  my face with cold water ,its a refreshing feeling, I turned around and found a neatly placed set of clothes ,I guess I am in need of a fresher attire as well ,when I was done I started looking for my phone ,and I could not find it anywhere "Looking for this ?"I turned my head towards the sound and here he was a smirk on his face and my phone in his hand "Mr Howard thank you I was looking for that " I started walking  to where he was standing but he swiftly hid the phone in his back pocket "Cara no phones no internet no nothing ,are you ready to go ?oh and it's Klaus " He gave me a bright smile  "Mr Howard give me back my phone I wanna call my friend so I can get out of here and figure my life out " I reached for his back pocket but he moved quickly and grabbed my wrist "Look Cara I don't have the time for games you either come with me willingly or I would just drag you to my house so what is it gonna be ?" Mr Howard said with a serious determined look in his eyes ,I don't think I have a choice but to obey him...I will earn his trust and then I would run away ..yes that is my plan, I will just play along .

an hour later we were in his house ,it is not what I am used to ,it is on the small side and it was a messy dirty place "Do you live here ?this place should be set on fire so the germs would die " I mocked as I paced around the two story house "Well rich girl we have to stay here for a couple of days till we move to a better and bigger house " rich girl ?? if being clean and tidy is a luxurious trait of a rich girl then count me in .

"Well yeah a bigger place so I can stay as far away as possible from you... anyways I am hungry" I started walking towards the kitchen and spotted the  refrigerator as I opened the door I was met with an awful smell and greenish looking things I was disgusted and I almost threw up ,I heard a small chuckle and turned to see Mr Howard leaning on the counter  "I think we should go out tonight " he said as he flashed his teeth at me ,he smiles a lot ,the kind of smile that tells you that everything will be just fine ,His warm chocolate brown eyes gives me a safe feeling, he also has light brown hair with goldish locks and it was so messy it made him look funny "Um before you go out with me you should comb that hair of yours "I laughed at him and he pulled a face at me which made me laugh even harder.

"I like this restaurant "I said while sitting down on the comfortable seat and started checking the menu I looked around,there were a few people in the cozy restaurant ,they were chatting and laughing ,like everything was ok ,and here I am alone with no family no friends with a strange man that could be anyone ,really.. a killer ?a psychopath  ? a peacemaker who knows ..Why couldn't Iife go right with me ? ,like all of those normal people in the world . I remember the day I graduated from high school ,me and Natalie were so happy that we would finally be able to experience the college life ,we had so many plans that includes hot guys and crazy parties and just let go but did not include me waking up in a hospital after being in a coma for 6 months and losing my whole family "Cara are you ready to order ?" I was pulled away from my thoughts by Mr Howard that had a worried look in his eyes and the waiter who was looking at me like I am crazy "Um Garden Harvest Scramble sounds interesting " I just chose randomly and I hoped I did not make a foolish choice because I was starving  "I will take the same "Mr howard said and gave me a wink "alright anything else ?" the waiter asked " No thank you " I said this time 

"are you OK Cara?"Mr Howard asked with a hint of curiosity  in his eyes " I am fine I was just thinking" I rushed the words out and looked away hoping that he would drop it " about what ?" he questioned " Can't someone just think about random things now ?I simply don't wanna share my thoughts with you " I whisper yelled at him "you wouldn't tell me what happened ,or why am I here,why and how did I end up in the hospital and you're asking me if I'm okay?" I took a deep breath ,

"look I know this is extremely hard for you to process,I will explain everything ,you just have to trust me for now " Mr Howard looked at me with such sympathy ,"I can't trust you ,But do I have a choice ? you are holding me hostage "and with that statement the waiter came with our orders and the smell was divine  He put the plates in front of us, it consisted of Two scrambled eggs, grilled onions, steamed spinach and diced tomatoes . Topped with five-cheese sauce and American cheese, served with a fresh-baked biscuit. I started eating and getting my stomach filled as fast as possible ,I looked at Mr Howard he was eating like there was no tomorrow and I started scolding him about how he should close his mouth and how to eat like an advanced person he just laughed at me and told me I was being ridiculous  and that no one cares about these kind of stuff "well I still do care Mr Howard" I finally said and with that we fell into what they call  comfortable silence.

after we finished our meal and Mr Howard paid the bill we were on the street heading towards the car and out of no where the windows of the car just broke into tiny little pieces ,shock took over me and I am suddenly finding myself fainting and falling to the floor I felt an arm wrape around my shoulders stopping me from hitting the hard Concret "Cara ! my God Cara snap out of it don't let it control you " Mr Howard's voice started to fade away and darkness was taking over and I blacked out ...
