The Impersonator ✔

"10"

There was no sign of him or anyone else around here. I had been walking for a long time now and I still couldn't find where I was or where I was going. I could hear the noise of the insects all around me and the crushing of leaves beneath my bare feet. My clothes were torn from all the twigs and branches that got stuck into them and there were scratches and bruises all over my body.

Far off, I heard the screeching of tires. I instantly started sprinting towards the direction hoping I would find a car and that my suspicions weren't wrong. I wrapped my hands around myself because of the cold wind colliding with my body as I ran and ran forward. After a while, I saw some headlights and a road between the huge, tall trees. I rushed towards the road and stopped right in the middle of it, trying to catch my breath. I took a deep breath and then signaled the car to stop. Luckily, it did. Stopping the car right beside me, the person rolled down the window and I gasped when I saw who it was.

''Ethan! is that you?'', she asked anxiously. She then opened the door for me and I entered .''Wait, what happened to you?..and....and why were you running, what's going on Ethan??''.

''Hey, I'll tell you all about it once we're somewhere safe, can you please start the car for now?'' I requested her.''Should, I call 911 or someone else?'', she asked worriedly. ''No, just get going please'' and with that said she started the engine.''Do you have water?'',I mumbled more to myself but she still heard.'' here, take this'', she said handing me a water bottle. I chugged it whole in one sip, spilling it all over me while doing so.

''So where do you want to go?'', she asked.
''I don't know......can you drive me to your place?'', she agreed nodding her head. She didn't ask anything for the rest of the ride and I was thankful for that.
She parked the car right in front of her house and helped me get out of it .'' you need to take a bath, the bathrooms over there, I'll look for some clothes for you''.

After taking a bath, I wore the shirt and the jeans she had given me, which fit me perfectly. We sat down at a table opposite to each other.''Do you want to talk about it?'' she asked, staring at me worriedly. I looked towards her and said ''You have to trust me all right'', then I went on and told her all about what had happened and how I escaped. She lowered her eyebrows and squinted at me, trying to understand all I had just said.''So it wasn't you who called me?''.
''No..No,it was him''. Just as she was about to say something else, her phone rang.'' who is it?'',I asked leaning towards her phone. She looked at her phone and then back at me ''it's him''.
