The Huntress

I Know I Don't Love Him: Shadow

"I wonder what I would be doing if I would have stayed two more minutes," I ask myself that question every night for the next seven months. Sooner I later I'll forget about him, I would think. Did he even make it out? Did he look for me? I don't understand why I worry about him so much. He's just a spoiled rich boy. He doesn't and won't ever matter.
It has been seven months since my escape with Colton, and somehow my mind never strays far from the though of him. I know I don't love him, I never did. Why would I? This isn't about some stupid love story at first sight. Honestly I thought I could care less about Colton and I don't know what won't let me leave him. I never did like him, I wish I could just kill him and not worry. He's just some stupid boy who's life you saved because you endangered it. But he said something weird. I didn't think I was this high on the kill list. How did he know about the list? Why did he think he was on it? What's he hiding?
I walk to my bathroom and flip on the water to the shower. It's steaming hot, just like I love it. Today I'm going back out to the town. The first time since leaving Colton in that shop next to the cafe. Hopefully I'm lucky and he won't be there.
I remove my hot sticky clothes and let them fall to a pile at my feet. I step into the water and let it run down my back. My black hair in laying flat on my shoulders. I scrub the dirt from my body and just stand there.
Finally I step out and one of the Apprentices had left clothes on the bed. A pair of black leather pants, a white tank top and a black hoodie. I pull them on, thankful it wasn't the horrible red dress that looked like shit. I wasn't one of those girly girls who dreamed of some rich, prince. Honestly I would kiss someone's ass before I fell for a rich snob who doesn't care about anyone but himself.
"I would rather kill myself before I married someone like the King," I whisper under my breath. Like usual I go to my arsenal and chose a weapon. I decide to take a long blade, which is engraved ShadowSlayer. I put it into a sheath and pull open the door to the hallway where two Apprentices stand. Angel and Danica.
"OMG you think you're hot! I got asked out by like twenty guys today!" Danica whispers unaware of my presence. I think to myself, well hon, keep in mind that low prices attract many customers.
"NO WAY! I'm so much hotter than you! I'm even better than the Chief, and all the guys are after her!" Keep telling yourself that, the only thing you could turn on is a microwave.
"Well ladies I'm off to town. At least one of us needs a life. I watch their shocked and embarrassed faces as I head through the training room towards the exit. Someone stops me. God NO! Please don't be Luke! Please don't be Luke. I turn around. Damn it!
"Ugh. Luke what do you want!" I say annoyed.
"I just wanted to ask if you were from heaven?" He gives me a sly smile.
"Yeah, I'm a ghost and died fifteen years ago, kinda like that pickup line," I say turning to the door. I leave him there cussing himself out. If only I could kill them.
