And Dreams Might Win

Chapter 17

"I am afraid we are short of money." I spoke while searching my barren pockets.

"How much?" The middle aged man looked at me, bored.

My next words had replaced his boredom with surprise. He was surprised that my legs hadn't begun their walk away from this bus booth already.

"Please help us out-" My desperation had no effect on the man. I wasn't ready to give up so soon so my legs remained there, my fingers picking on the skin around my nails in worry until some strong masculine fingers wrapped around my wrist and pulled me away.

"What are you doing-

"Shh!" My vocal vibrations were absorbed by a strange rough hand, it smelled of metal and perfume?

Am I being kidnapped? 

That'll be another adventure.

Go away you silly twat!

You just called yourself-

I know!

"Wahyutitubpin!?" That's not what I tried to convey.

"You thought you could run just like that? Left us hanging here?" These words were spoken in a heavy accent and with so much rage that I might have apologised for a crime I didn't commit.

Will this be the end of me?

No, I won't die without a reason. I looked at the bulky man way taller than me. He was dangerously close to me. If I did take the chance, it was way too risky. I'd have to do something to escape. I couldn't wait for my knight in shining armour to save me. I was an independent young woman-

Oh lord if you are listening, why was I forced to be her?

Oh shut up! You are lucky to be me.

I know I scold you when you run away from your problems but don't take that too seriously and run now!

I began my sprint towards a safer place, with my two travel companions cutting through the wind, my hair flying. I felt everything was happening in slow motion. People turning to look at the girl running without much effort-

"What are you doing?" This bloody man won't ever compliment me.

"Well, I am just running Wyatt away from a potential kidnapper. How has your day been so far?"

"You were literally just slow jogging. My day has been excellent till now. " Wyatt tipped his imaginary hat with a mocking smile.

"You! Stop you little bitch!" Oops.

"Why is that huge bulky man cursing you while holding his-

"You see for some reason still a mystery to me he doesn't want me to leave this town."

"Should we run?" Wyatt questioned tying his shoelaces.

"What are you doing? No, I didn't do anything."

"He is running. Now, we mustn't be very lazy." Wyatt took hold of my wrist.

"But I don't want to strain my barely moved muscles-
