Angel POV.
The police guy drove after me, I led the way toward my home, I wasn’t really sure if I should show him where I lived or not, but I knew that I didn’t have any other place to take him to, that home was my one and only place, I didn’t have anywhere else to go.
I drove slowly, too worried about the police driving behind me this time, I made it home in forty minutes, I parked the car and he parked behind me as well, I got out of the car and he did the same.
“Is this where you live?” he says not too happy looking at the buildings around, I know it’s not the best area ever, but it’s the one I could afford and it’s my home.
“Yeah,” I nod my head assuring him this is it, I’m waiting for him to leave, I look at him waiting for him to get back in his car and leave.
“I’m walking you to your apartment of course,” he says with a smile, and I decided to decline.
“I can go there alone, thank you for following me here, I felt very safe,” I say with a bit of sass, I’m home and he can’t arrest me anymore.
“Let’s make sure you are in your home safely first,” he says, wanting to come up with me.
“My home is a safe place,” I assure him, but he wasn’t budging, so I let him follow me, I showed him my home, well only the door, I placed the key in the door and stood back waiting for him to leave so I could walk in alone.
“Be safe Angel, please don’t leave home, not for the next couple of days,” he says.
“What if I need food?” I ask him.
“Then order some food, or just call me maybe, I’d be more than happy to deliver anything you want,” he says, offering me a card, it had his number and his name, Hunter Black, a detective.
“Okay, thank you,” I say taking the card with no intention of ever calling him.
“I’ll be leaving now,” he says pointing to the door, telling me to get in the house, I opened the door and only then he raised a brow at me waiting for me to get in, I went in closing the door behind me, I kept an eye on him through the peephole, he waited a couple of minutes before he left with a smile on his face, what is he so happy about, I wasn’t very sure, but he left which is good.
I went back in and I was sweaty as hell, I was very scared, and my heart was still beating like crazy refusing to stop beating. I went toward the bathroom, took off all of my clothes and got in the shower, I turned the water to the hottest setting which wasn’t very hot, but it was good enough for me, I washed off all the sweat, I tried to calm down, I tried my best to breath and relax.
Once I was done, I put on my comfiest clothes and went out, I went toward the kitchen, I was starving, so I looked for food but the kitchen was mostly empty, I wasn’t lying to Hunter, what if I needed food for real?
I managed to get myself a meal for now and went to the living room, I flipped through the channels trying to find something to watch, anything really, I found that they had an old movie running, there were some kind of rumours around that movie that says it’s a movie from before the war, that this was a really, really old one, but it was one of my most favourite movies ever, it’s called Twilight, it’s about a vampire who falls in love with a human, there must be a part missing maybe they couldn’t retrieve it after the war, but the movie ends with her becoming a vampire, it’s not a good movie but I like it, they are our heritage, things we could save from the war, everything was gone, except some books, some movies and some other things.
I kept on watching my movie but I was nodding off, staying home is very boring, especially when you don’t have anything to do or anyone to spend time with. I woke up to William’s voice, what is he up about now? I groaned and whined not wanting to hear his voice for once, I was kind of mad at him for killing that guy, I was scared of him, and I hated him.
I turned the TV off, I didn’t want to hear him or listen to any announcement, he got, and if I kept the TV on, I knew William would find a way to come up on my screen, I went toward my closet, the one where I throw things when I don’t want to deal with them, I have a couple of years of clutter to go through, one that would for sure has something to keep me entertained without using the TV and seeing William’s face.
I started to look through and soon I found something, a thing that I had forgotten about of course, it’s an old video game that I owned once upon a time, I got it out and got it hooked to the TV and spent the rest of the day and the next day just playing, I only had two working games, a car race one and a temple running game, they are good games, entertaining enough, better than sitting down and doing nothing the whole day.
My food supply was over on day three and I knew I needed it, so I got dressed and ready and left the house, I went toward the same corner shop I bought my things from when this whole war started, but sadly for me the shop was closed, I started to walk into another shop, maybe that on would be open, but the other shop was a bit farther away.
I started the walk there and groaned when I saw that the other shop was closed as well, where am I supposed to get my food now, I whined and groaned and started to walk, I wasn’t sure where I was going, but I want to find some kind of shop open, I need some kind of supplies.
As I was walking, groaning and whining, I should’ve brought my car, if I had my car it would have been easier then, but I didn’t have it with me now and I have already walked enough, I’m not walking back to get the car to come back here, I kept on walking with a groan.
I saw cars passing by me, some were fancier than others, most of them fancier than mine, I had an older model car, but I ignored the cars that were passing and kept on walking until one of them stopped.
I turned the other way, getting away from the car as I kept on walking but I heard footsteps coming from behind me, maybe they had stopped for some other reason no need for those reasons to be related to me, I kept on walking, just keep walking, they’d go away, maybe they’re searching for a shop like me. After a second thought, it was time to get back home, I started the walk with purpose this time toward my home, best to just get back home, no need for supplies, I was sure I could survive on water and whatever ingredient I can find at home.
“Miss,” I heard someone call, I’m not Miss, I’m not Miss either, I’m usually that girl or hey bitch, so I knew it wasn’t meant for me and I kept on walking.
“I know you heard me I’m talking to you grey shirt,” he yells again, I’m wearing a grey shirt right now.
“I’m just going home,” I call back without stopping or looking.
“No, grey shirt, you’re coming along with us,” they say and so I started running, I was out of this, I was going away as fast as possible from here.
“We got a runner,” one of the guys calls, how many of them are following me, I didn’t bother to look back, I didn’t want to look back, I just started to run.
“Come here,” one of them said as he tackled me down, I knew I wasn’t that slow, I’m pretty sure I wasn’t that slow, but they got me to like it’s nothing, they got me really quickly and I fell down face first, my hands were pushed behind my back and then I was dragged off with them, they weren’t dressed in any police clothing, and I wasn’t sure what they were humans or not, but I knew they weren’t, pretty sure they weren’t.
“I didn’t do anything where are you taking me?” I asked them with fear as they pushed me toward their car.
“You disobeyed and we’re here to bring you in,” one of them says.
