Chapter One: Lily
I was shutting the bar up for the night, it was just like every other night, we had a few drunks, some divorcees trying to forget life, the usual crowd of farmers, looking to release some stress after a long week of hard work and of course the kids, I know I'm not one to be talking I'm only 3 years older then them but why do they have to make so much noise, every night I have a headache, why? Because of those fucking teenagers, why can't they shut up every once in awhile and some of the boys I just want to punch them in the face, but my boss tells me I can't do that if they are paying him. I love my boss (Not in a creepy way, as in a your, like my father way) But he drives me crazy with all these rules, you have to do this, no you can't do that, the customer is always right, what a load of crap, the customer is usually wrong why? Because they are IDIOTS! Very drunk idiots, but they're not all bad, we have a couple guys, about 3 who come in about once a month for a business meeting, they're really polite, quiet, sweet and you know very gentlemanly I would love to talk to them, they have to be smart, I hear they own their own company or something, probably a small local company, but still they can't be much older than I am, but not only are they nice, they are GORGEOUS, I mean wow. They all seem a bit pale, not in a one of the undead like a vampire but paler than normal, but also not in a sickly way they pull it off.
By the time I'd stopped thinking about them, I had packed up and locked the door, the moon has just risen, it's not full, actually it's not even close, it's just a small sliver in the sky, barely giving off any light, I fumble with the keys in my hand, the steel feels cold against my skin, I'm looking for my car key, I hate cars, I've been afraid of them ever since my parents died, but unfortunately I can't get to and from wok without a car, I would be late all the time without it. To get to my car I had to walk down the street. So I started walking in that direction, when all of a sudden I heard police sirens, coming from somewhere nearby, and with my cat-like curiosity I just had to go check it out, that was my first mistake, I should have just ignored it, but as they say 'Curiosity killed the cat'. I had just turned the corner when all of a sudden, I was grabbed and had a knife held at my throat I was so shocked I had no idea what was going on, I mean I was walking home one minute, the next a hostage, I saw police lights flashing red and blue in time with the pounding of my heart, I tried to see who had grabbed me and but it was no use, whoever was using me as a shield was invisible to see from this angle, all I could see was black hair with red at the ends, the police started shouting at the guy, "Release her now, or we will be forced to take you down.", I couldn't believe my ears what were they idiots, "Fuck the hostage, just kill this fucker. Shoot him in the head, kill me too, for all I care, just be quick about it, from what I can see, he could quite possibly kill me and make his escape and none of you would be able to stop or catch him, I mean ever heard of a thing called the gym, or a diet for that much.", The look on the police officers faces were priceless I couldn't help but laugh, I felt the guy behind me tense with shock and confusion, "I'm not joking just kill him.", The cops took their aim with their guns and pointed them at me and the guy, but before they get a chance to shoot, I was being pulled up, I looked down and saw the ground disappearing, fast. That's when I realize this guy was flying and he was taking me with him, now I have always been afraid of heights so naturally I started screaming, he whispered in my ear to shut up or he would drop me, I started to panic even more, and I squirmed until I was facing him, when I saw him, he took my breathe away, he was gorgeous he had black hair with red ends and cold silver eyes, and even though his face was covered in blood, I could still see his face and if he hadn't taken me hostage, kidnapped me and also if he wasn't a wanted criminal I might have fallen for him.
