[Angel's POV]
The rain fell hard down the empty and quiet streets as I continued running as fast as I could for my life. I was holding my injured side tightly with my hand, applying pressure to it in order to stop the blood. My heavy breathing and beating heart were the only things that could be heard right now– well, along with the splashing sound my bare feet made each time they made contact with the wet ground.
“Fück!” Someone in the very distance shouted, which was followed by a loud crack of thunder echoing in the grey sky, followed by scary flashes of lightning. I jumped in surprise and quickly turned a corner to my left and rested my back against the brick wall. My feet hurt like hell and so did my injury not to mention that I was freezing, since my thin blouse was half ripped. I started inhaling and exhaling in a slow pace trying to calm myself down. If I wanted to escape those men and get out of here I had to be calm and think clearly, something that I couldn't do right now, at least not in the condition I was in.
“Damn it.” I cursed under my breath throwing my head back.
I didn't have much time, their footsteps could be heard from where I was which meant they were close and they were going to get me. I couldn't let that happen, I didn't want to end up like all the other girls.
No, no, no I wouldn't.
“Angel. Come out here, Angel.” A husky voice called my name in a singing way and I shut my eyes, taking in a sharp breath as my hand fisted my blouse.
They were closer than I thought and that scared me. I had to be extremely careful right now. Alexander's men were people you wouldn't want to mess with, they were smart and strong.
“I know you're here, Angel. I can smell your sweet scent from miles away and it's driving me crazy. I missed your angelic body.” The man, whose name is Ethan, said in a loud tone and I rolled my eyes at his remark. He was disgusting. I opened my eyes slowly and looked carefully around the side to see the two men with their backs turned to me. They knew that I was here and I had to get away from them as soon as possible. I wouldn't be able to hide here forever.
“Where the hell is she?” The younger man asked Ethan with annoyance evident in his voice.
“She's here, I can feel it.” Ethan replied and turned around, making me back away against the wall again.
Get out of here, Angelina.
I listened to the voice inside my head and slowly started walking through the dark path, sometimes leaning on the wall beside me for support. The rain had become stronger and it made it almost impossible for me to see clear, but that didn't stop me from continuing. I had to get as far from here as possible. I looked behind me to make sure that no one was following me and smiled when I saw that the way was empty. I was safe, I actually managed to escape them.
