Present

I woke up panting, breath trembling, sweat dripping down my forehead. I looked over to see the stranger looking at me.

"You good"? He questioned

"Uh yeah I just had an nightmare" I implied

"Oh, well they said we need to be out of here by 6 so I suggested you get up now it's 5," he told me putting on his blood-stained jacket

Wow I slept though the day.

"You should go home Nala, you're not safe here with me" he said turing around to tie his shoe

I constipated for while if i should tell him the situation i'm in, I didn't have anywhere to go plus i couldn't stay here with all these sick people in this hotel so the only other option was..

*knock*

The knock came quietly, and then there was silence.

....
We looked at each other.

*Knock*

The knock was louder this time, I stood next to him who stared at the door, I was confused.

"LUCA!!We know you're in there!" A voice came from the other side yelled.

As soon as he heard that he got out his gun.

"You have to go now, go hide " he whispered though gritted teeth

Scared and confused

I rushed into the bathroom, locked the door and went into the shower. By this time the person on the other side already started breaking down the door.

Once again I heard gun shots go off-  I heard multiple guys barking and yelling.

I ran away just to be killed, it couldn't be real I couldn't breathe, it felt like someone was choking me. My heart was racing, all I wanted to do was curl into a ball.

The gunshots continued, I heard blows, curses and things being thrown around, I couldn't predict exactly what was going on there, but it seemed like there were about three men against Luca.

I felt a tear run down on my cheek. It seemed as if this was the end of the road for me.

"It's about all to be over Luca" a man said

I got chills, I had to go back to help him. I know it was stupid but I needed to at least try to do something.

I got out of the shower quickly and unlocked the door quietly.

I opened the door slowly and looked out, I saw the man huddling over Luca punching him repeatedly.
The other men was dead on the floor.
