Beautiful End

Guns And Roses

Thirty minutes later
Loud banging
A gun shot
Sandra:

I was in bed drifting of to sleep thirty minutes  after Elvis and his friend left when there was sudden loud banging on the door and a voice which I regcognized as belonging to Elvis asking me to open the door. I opened the door to a panicking Elvis and his friend.

He  told me to get up and get ready because we were leaving. I couldn't believe my ears, but we just got here, I said as he gave his trademark Elvis frown he used to give me when I asked too many questions. Oh!, how I missed him.

I refused to move as I demanded to know what was going on, he ignored me completely as he ordered Paulo to pick  the things we will be needing on our journey back home. When Paulo was done, Elvis pulled me along and gently shoved me into the back seat of the car since I was being  difficult.

He got in the backseat with me as Paulo drove. As the car drove off at a high speed, I asked him once again why we suddenly left the previous place we were taking refuge from?, he told me how they had been attacked on the way by some of the men at the camp, obviously they were looking for me and he didn't know but they somehow recognized him and if not Paulo, he would have been a dead man by now.

I smiled as I saw how adorable he looked in only his vest and how concentrated he looked as he briefed me on why we suddenly took of on a wild goose chase towards home.

I passed my hands on his cheeks as he suddenly stopped talking and brushed a log of hair from my forehead. I love you, never forget that, he said as he bent down and kissed me on my  forehead. Paulo made a face.

He looked into my eyes, as I also looked into his eyes, they were the colour of emerald green and innocent. Hardly did I know they were the last pair of green eyes I would ever see.

As we gazed into each others eyes, not saying anything, but meaning volumes, a gunshot rung out  causing both of us to jump in our seats.
Elvis leaned in to ask Paulo what was happening.

Paulo shouted for us to get down, we went down in the car as Paulo drove at top speed. I didn't need to ask what was going on as the second shot rung out missing our car by a mere scratch. Paulo cursed loudly as another shot rung out. "I swear Elvis, if we all get out of this mess, you owe me big time men", he said as he turned the car backwards away from the guys in black in the other car who were shooting constantly at us.

I looked back at Elvis about to ask him if he was sure he knew Paulo well when another shot rung out, tearing into the seat I was in mere seconds ago.

I was sweating profusely, as well as shaking.  Elvis tried to calm me down by rubbing my back with his palm, which as a matter of fact, did nothing to calm my frayed nerves.

We were driving at a top speed after Paulo turned around, when another shot came tearing through the front of the car shattering the glass, missing Paulo and tearing through the seat of the car exactly where we were trying to make ourselves invisible, just above our heads.

I sighed in relieve as I realized nobody was hurt, at least not yet.
Soon, we came towards a ditch and Paulo being the skillful driver he was, turned the car around, surprising the the guys in the other car and making it too late for them to change directions.

Wow man!, where did you learn to drive like that?, Elvis asked as Paulo shrugged. There was definitely something fishy.

I watched on  with a sad expression as their car rolled into the ditch and rolled of down into God knows where and  caught fire.
Elvis covered my eyes as the car exploded and shattered into a thousand pieces.
We drove of at top speed and soon lost the rest of the guys who had stopped to attend to the exploded car.
We stopped at a nice Inn we came accross on the way since Paulo was exhausted after that crazy ride, but not after we were sure we were not being chased.

We all ordered a big mug of cappuccino's as the waiter went in to bring our chicken and salad.
Don't even ask me, I was starving. I guess a close shove with death makes one quite hungry huh!.
