A reporter that's what I had always wanted to be, since when I was little and watched the local news with my mom. I got my first taste of it in high school as the field reporter for our school news. It was the best thing ever. After high school I got a full ride through collage because of my grades. Then I got picked up by the local station in town. It wasn't much but I loved it going out in the field, being in the middle of the story. I never thought it would get me here though, but I am jumping ahead of myself in order for you to under stand it all we have to go back to that day, the day I first saw him.
"Excuse me sir I am Alison Conner, with local 5 news. May I ask you some questions on what happened?" I asked one of the officers at the scene. No one knew exactly what was going on but a lot of other reporters were there trying to figure out why the police were all surrounding the park My camera guy hadn't gotten there yet so I figured I would just try as hard as I could to get some information. I saw some other police officers trying to pull a guy towards the cop car. There were three of them and he was putting up a really good fight as far as I could tell but I couldn't get a good look at him in the dark.
The officer had followed my gaze and was also looking at his fellow officers struggling to get the guy in the car. He sighed and turned his gaze back to me. He continued to look at me I don't know what he was looking for in my red brown hair, grayish blue eyes, and pale skin. I cleared my throat and he snapped out of his trance.
"Look lady I'm going to tell you what I told every other reporter that asked me exactly the same question." He said looking me straight in the eyes. He looked tired and worn down. "were not releasing any info to the press yet but when we do I' am sure you'll find out"
"So your not going to tell me anything, now even just a tiny bit of information to take back to the station?" I asked hoping he would give in and just slip a little part of the story to me. He looked around then back at me and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Its late lady, please go home it's not safe to be walking around at night." He said with a truly worried tone of voice it shocked me. What wouldn't be safe in this small town I had grown up in?
Then I heard another one of officers scream and turned to see the other two being thrown off of the guy they had been trying to put in the back of the car. I gasped and he turned and looked straight at me and his eyes got bigger. Next thing I know he is running straight towards me and the cop.
"Get behind me!" He yelled pulling his gun out. Looked over the cop and I looked around the cop to see him. He took one more step towards us "Stop where you are!" he screamed. The guy looked over at me and noticed I was staring he stared back and smirked.
"Look you got the wrong guy." He said still looking at me but clearly talking to the cop.
"If you didn't do it then why were you at the scene? And why are you resisting arrest?" the cop asked keeping his gun pointed at the guy.
As I examined the guys appearance more I noticed it was completely unkempt. He looked like he hadn't slept in days and his clothes were muddy along with his hands and shoes. He was still staring at me and before me or cop even knew he moved he was behind me with a knife to my neck.
"Look I really…. Really don't want to….To kill her. I promise you I didn't kill those people in the park I was chasing the guy that did when you surrounded me. Now just let me go and no one had to get hurt here," he said. Hell even I believed him he sounded so honest. The cop slowly lowered his gun as the guy walked backwards still holding me in front of him when we were out of sight of the cop he turned me around to face him and put the knife in his pocket.
"Who are you? And what happened in the park?" I asked. My brain never seemed to get out of reporter mode. He looked down at me. I could tell he was thinking of whether to answer me or ignore me. He chose to ignore me.
"Well hell, at least tell me your name. If nothing else you owe me that much." I stated annoyed. No one seemed to want to answer me tonight.
"wait." He said pausing "why do I owe you anything?" he asked smiling at me. 'He has nice smile the kind that makes you want to smile right back.' But I pounded thought of his smile out of my head. this was not the place to be thinking like that.
"Because" I answered it was pretty obvious "you just used me as your own little human shield!"
He looked at me unchanging. "So why do I owe you?" he repeated
"Are you stupid you used me incase they tried to shut at you. I could have died because you were to worried about getting away buddy."
"they were not going to shoot I knew that so all you had to do was stand there and look scared and even though you did a very good job at that and you face was quite funny to see I don't find that worthy of me owing you something."
"Its useless" I said throwing my hand over my head as a symbol that I had given up arguing with him.
He seemed quite amused by my little display of emotion and as a reaction his smile got even bigger. 'This guy is so weird 'I thought to myself.
"Come on" he said grabbing onto my arm and pulling me along. 'Wait on second' my head yelled.
"I'm not going with you I'm going home." I stated trying to pull my arm from his grasp.
"Look Alison you have to come with me for a little while we have to talk." He said pulling at me to keep going.
'O my god did he just say my name who is this guy that's all I want to know' I thought to my self then it came out my mouth "HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW MY NAME? AND WHO ARE YOU?" I yelled forgetting me were in the middle of some street and people were starting to look out there windows to see what was going on 'good witnesses in case he try's to kidnap me'
"Ill explain" he said looking around "when we get to my house, but the cops are looking for me Alison we have to get off the street." he started dragging me along again. I pulled to get away and when he turned to tell me to stop I smacked him across his face, Hard! He let out a growl and I saw two pearly white fangs 'ok add what is he to the list of things I want to know'
