I make my way through the busy station, everyone is pushing and shouting - trying to get onto trains and off.From what i remember i need to take the tube and that scares me.
I leave the main station and look back, seeing Logan and I running and meeting after he was kicked from his home. We had the world, and we lost it.
I take a long look around, this place is bigger than i remembered...
I make my way to the underground, the dark and loud screeching of the halting trains.
I would return back to King's cross to find work in the morning, but it was too late to stay now and i fear the worst from those i do not know.
My train pulls in, the beaming rights turning the heads of my fellow passengers to the grave.
I hear a beeping and the doors flood open, the passengers flooding out as we all flood in like Noah's ark.
I take my seat, the humidity hits me along with the smell of BO and alcohol. All the seats are occupied around me, a group of men sit opposite me - staring sternly.
I do not meet their gaze.
From a glance i can see they are wearing all black, i begin to quietly hyperventilate, picturing the men who took Logan; the dark clothing...
Suddenly my stop is called and i dart out of the train and do not look back.
I open my phone and search for directions to my new accommodation, i would be sharing a room with someone called Elena. I don't have the money for my own yet but i will move the moment i can.
I have spoken to Elena many times over the phone and she is friends with my cousin who recommended her to me.
There is no service.
I worry as i exist the station seeing that most shops are closed at this late hour and the ghosts of the night shadow past me.
A lady walks past me, "please can you tell me how to get to Ridge house?" I ask nicely.
"Get out of my face before i put you into the ground, you don't belong here - it's late and you won't make it," She spits, i only then notice the smell of booze and retreat.
I wander the streets aimlessly, taxi drivers peering curiously. I have no trust when i am alone to take a taxi, i sit in a centre on a bench and watch the world go by.
My battery is dying on my phone and i coward into a hunch panicking.
"A young woman like you shouldn't be on the streets alone." A deep toned man says with a drunk laugh.
I do not reply as i close my eyes and pray he will go.
"Miss?" He asks tapping my shoulder, i recognise the voice but my fear shuts me down.
"Hey, look it's not safe out here i won't leave you." He says as his friends laugh and walk off.
"Miss?" He says again, placing his hand over mine, i know this touch, it's Colt.
I look up and with no surprise yet so much surprise his deep blue eyes meet mine and he smiles broadly.
"Bella?" He says looking at my dark hair and green eyes - inspecting my situation.
"Come with me, you need somewhere to stay you can't stay here." He says, his hand still holding mine.
I nod and he holds me.
"Do you know where Ridge house is?" I mumble into his suit.
"No idea but i'll take you there in the morning, we can find it together."
He keeps his arm around me like a coat, we walk the city streets, despite the talk of how lively city life is supposed to be it's incredible quiet.
Just the two of us in this big world.
Colt and i walk for around half a mile until we reach a huge hotel.
"What room are you in?" I ask, the scarce words i have spoken.
"I own the hotel." He says calmly. My eyes widen senselessly as he takes me into this palace like hotel.
The reception has beautiful golden tiles and and most wonderful smell.
"Good evening mister Diars." The receptionist chips.
He reciprocates the gesture as he leads me into the lift carrying my bags for me.
"What floor?" I say.
"fifteen."
That's the top floor. Wow this can't be happening, what a lucky encounter...
We reach the top floor and as if the gates of heaven open, a city scape view is seen from the moment the door opens.
Colt takes my bags to a room and i halt at the window, mesmerised that he can live this wonderful life.
He realises i do not follow and places his hand on my shoulder, i jump at his touch as i am so immersed in the view - yet his touch more compelling.
I turn to him and see his kind smile and i smile back.
"Follow me," He says softly.
He leads me to a beautiful room with a huge bed and an amazing view.
"I need to be up for 7 so stay here if you like until i return from work, or you may accompany me? I can find you something to do?" He says with no motive, other than good will.
His dimples come out when he speaks and his smile like home.
"Thank you so much," I say looking deeply at him.
"Good night, Miss." he says smirking, he kisses my cheek and walks away, i wish he wouldn't.
I get dressed into my night wear of a small top and shorts, i open the door to look once more. He's standing there, shirtless doing his hair in the mirror.
"Everything okay there?" he asks smiling into the mirror - aware of my presence.
"Better than okay, good night Colt." i say as i watch him glance at what i am wearing, he smiles as i close the door and lie in bed.
I stare out into the city, Is this my home?
Who is Colt?
Who can he be?
