Saphire

AN: Imagine that's Lisa Berry

"Don't you think its kind of like... strange?" Saphire said to Lisa knowingly. Lisa only rolled her eyes and keep punching the old cashier machine to put paper bills into it. She closed the drawer a little to loud that makes Saphire flinched and look at her wide eyes. She poked Saphire's left cheek with her green fan and huffed out in her seat in frustration.

"You know what? I don't know if you are innocent or damn well stupid. But you need to know the difference between liking bad people  and good people. And this guy you keep blabbering about hours ago...or so help me God! Is not good, he's bad! As in...bad ass!" She said giggling.

"Oh my god Lisa! Stop it! Bad ass? He's more than that. He carries a gun. A freaking gun." She gaped at her, giggling like a high school girl. "Ugh! Unbelievable!" She said frustrated at her friends craziness. She hopped off the stool and tied her hair into a pony.

Saphire doesn't understand how it goes her way. They both are a lot different with so many things. She's preferred the silence while Lisa wanted to have loud pop music every now and then. Not to mention the way Lisa dressed herself, it was way to skinny for her liking, way too much skin. She's like someone part of modeling and all whilst Saphire is her plain old self, in a dress and boots. The plain girly type.

"Sooo, how does it feel to see him? Oh my god, Saphire. You said he had a nice body, a muscly one." Lisa said loudly. She was afraid they're going to bother the guests in the nearby rooms.

"Shhh... tone down a little, Lisa." At the mention of Ivan's body. She beats red all over her face. She can't help but wonder back last nights heated moment between the two of them. Yes, he is hot. Like totally hot. And the way he touched her last night was a proof of it.

"Oh my gooosh! You touched him! Didn't you!." Lisa let out a shrieked and slaps the counter over and over again with her fan. She can't help but smile at her friend. Happy that somehow, she relieves both their stress at work. She then joined her laughing and giggling.

A loud noise of motorcycles outside the motel halt their crazy state. They looked at each other with wide eyes.

"Is he?" Lisa said.

"No, he's not said anything about coming." She said adjusting her clean black apron that hangs her hips. Lisa just mouthed 'go get ready' at her and she bolted at their private comfort room and was in the middle of examining herselfinnthe mirror when she heard Lisa shouting behind the door.

"WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE!"

A loud crashing sound boomed outside so Saphire rushed to go out and found the Cash machine and the mini vase shattered on the floor. Standing behind the big tarpaulin says 'have a good stay' she peeked and saw Lisa was pulled by her hair rudely by a tall and angry looking man with a scar on his left cheek. She looked at the men with wide eyes though.

"Where is the fucking woman!" The scarred man says pulling Lisa's head behind but she just glared at her.

"Oh, don't fuck with me! Who are you looking for? Do I not look like a woman to you!" Lisa said shouting at his face. He glared at her grabbing both Lisa's cheeks in one hand.

"Darn woman! ANSWER ME! I am not playing a round with you—"

"Oh, aren't you not... Carlo? How about three months ago? What do a piece of trash like you have done now? You know who she's with." Lisa grabbed his hand and yanked it forward so she could bend down and pushed him as much force as she can.

"Searched the area, do not leave everything unclear until we found her. The bossman needs her clean and whole " He said eyeing the men he's with. At the mention of the name the past trauma hit her like waves. She can't be found here. It was way too far from there. It's been three long years! She began to think the past that once haunted her had stopped. But now she was being haunted again. No way she's not gonna put a fight. Her brother still needs her!

She scrambled back to her senses. She needed an escape plan again. Now is not the time to be emotional.  She looked around and crawled back to the comfort room, once inside she immediately locked the door. She managed to break the curve faucet and put it in the lock so if someone breaks in it could still give her time to escape.

There was only a single squared window she knew she can't fit. She looked around and found the ventilator to have much space she could fit herself so she tiptoed and yanked the fan out the hole and started to put out the rest of it when thebathroom door started banging outside.

"I think someones inside here! BITCH! OPEN UP!" She trembled in fear when the banging started to have much force she did not expect the knob to break. She yanked the rest of the tubes and wires and finally lifted herself out not before hearing the words she dreaded the most.

"Found you... finally." She whimpered in haste to lift herself, once outside she stood and looked at the scarred face man looked at her with a smirk. "EVERYONE! AT THE BACK!"

"No no no no" she wiped the tears in her cheek. She was found. And now she will be captured.

She run and run and run like her life's depended on it. Stumbled at the few branches on her way, but still she run. Tears freely flowed down her cheeks in desperation. She needed to get to the apartment and get her brother before its too late. She suffered way too much in the past. She can't let that happen again.

She didn't believe she had run 4 kilometers to get to her apartment. How she wished Dara and Kara will not be around later. She can't let the two of them captured by the monsters in her past. She quickly packed their things, a few cash, id's and passport and locked the door heading to the fire exit. Thankfully she leave her old civic at the back parking and chose to commute this morning.

She immediately went to his brother's school. Praying to God how she needed the protection at the speed she was driving right now.
