"Sahara ,hurry up !", I grunt as I walk the city street in heels . I look down and question why I even wore heels . The black dress I wear swirls around my knees , the length making me feel exposed . I limp up to where my friends are .
"How are you going sweetie? Why are you doing that with your jacket?", they laugh as I spitefully whisper, "Did I have to wear a dress , I look ridiculous!".
They roll their eyes at me ,"You look fine silly". I sarcastically scowl at them .
As I move to cover myself again , I walk into someone . A sense of deja vu comes over me as I feel myself losing gravity but a strong hand steadies me . I look up into a pair of blue eyes .I turn my head and see Ambrose is with a blue eyed man and another man with bright red hair.
"Ambrose?", he looks at me ,then looks me up and down . " Oh I'm so sorry how rude of me, Sahara this is Salem and Cain , guys this is Sahara". I quizzically raise my eyebrows at their names but quickly compose myself before any of them see . Salem offers his hand , I shyly shake it .
I meet Cain and Ambrose' eyes, "Its been really nice to see you again" , Ambrose shortly says as he moves to walk away.
Cain grabs my hand and lays a gentle kiss on my knuckles, "Nice to meet you Sahara", he follows Ambrose.
Salem smiles at me and nods as he too follows Ambrose.
I catch up to my friends . I am left wondering how the last 4 weeks have been more eventful than the last 20 years of my life . I am puzzled however at the way Ambrose acted. Why were they in such a hurry ? I laugh at my own suspiciousness .
At 2 in the morning I get into the house and flop onto my bed leaving all thoughts behind as sleep takes over me .
I'm running in the rain again , a looming shadow behind me . I can feel my heart pounding ,my feet aching .I hide behind a dumpster ,I bleed from a cut on my face . I see the shadow run past the dumpster and I breathe a sigh of relief . As I feel my body relax ,the dumpster is cast aside and the glint of the knife causes a scream to build in my throat but before it surfaces he cuts at me . Pain shoots through my whole body as he stabs and slashes at me , I see a person standing at the end of the alley .I reach out an arm and attempt to scream for help but I am stabbed once more.
I awake ,covered in sweat and tears streaming down my face. My chest heavy ,I feel my way to the bathroom splashing cold water on my face . Once my heart stops pounding ,I climb back into bed and hope for peace.
*********************
"Good Morning family", I say as I walk into the living room .
The TV blasts the news in the background , " Yesterday at approximately 11:00pm the National Gold Bank was robbed , the security guards sustained mild injuries .The perpetrators are yet to be caught for this robbery. Witnesses however said they saw 3 men clad in black leaving near the bank . Back to you Sally".
I choke on my orange juice . I flash back to yesterday and see Ambrose, Cain and Salem wearing all black. They were in a rush. Maybe they robbed the bank?
