I was late for my shift at the stock market. I clocked in and I was ready to leave already. About four hours later, I was walking around making sure everything was okay on the floor. I walked down the stairs on my tablet and saw a new janitor. I see three people just run across his new mopped floor, I would be pissed too.

I smile as I walk up and he stops moping looking at me "Hi, My name is Jolenea. I am sorry for their arrogance. Are you new here?"

He has a thick accent but he smiles at me "Barsad. I started last week. It is a pleasure to finally meet you in person."

I raise an eyebrow then my phone rings "Well nice to meet you, Barsad. Have a great day."

He says something I don't catch and I answer the phone. I start walking outside to have better signal when I hear gun shots. It chilled me to the bones, I ran out the door. I stayed in the alley way till I ran to the front. There was a police officer waiting and held me "Are you okay, Miss?"

I nod "I am but guns are going crazy in there they will have so many hostages. Miss Jolenea"

I hugged him back, trying to forget the memories that came with hearing gun shots. He held me "You need to breathe, okay? My name is Officer John Blake."

I take a deep breath but I don't let go off his skinny body. "You need to leave this area."

I almost cry more "My bag is inside."

He holds her cheek "I will bring you your bag, you have your keys."

I nod and slowly compose myself "Thank you."

I quickly start walk running down the street, as I see tons of police coming. I run until I can't no more. My legs hurting from running in heels. I get to my apartment unlock my door, then the third lock. I make sure my windows are locked. I then try to relax myself by getting in the shower. After twenty minutes of not relaxing, I got dressed in a bra and panties, a black tank top, a big plaid button up shirt that use to belong to my brother and a pair of black leggings with some socks and I put my black Uggs on because I was cold or just in shock and I put my heart locket my mother gave me with a picture of her and I on one side then my whole family on the other.

I made myself some tea and put on some Bach, because his music always calms my heart after what happened. I was drinking the tea, finally relaxed enough not to be scared to turn the TV on when I hear a knock at me.

I quickly run to it making sure my blanket is wrapped tightly around me and I say "Who is it?"

Whoever it is blocking the peep hole. I take a step back from the door when I hear "Barsad."

I gulp "Why are you here, Barsad? How did you know where I lived?"

Barsad then says "After day's commotions, I was cleaning and you left your purse in the employee lounge." My purse was in my office.

It didn't sound right, I start walking away from the door "Jolenea, open the door or we will break it down. He has captives, you can either come willingly or you can watch them die."

We?! I run to my bedroom and started to climb out the window when I heard my door slam open I hurry quickly down the fire thing and I jump off the last one. Almost stumbling but I caught myself. I ran about half a mile when I ran into Officer Blake "Jolenea, I brought your purse."

I look at him with Wide eyes "Run! They are coming after."

I start running and runs grabbing my hand "Follow me, you will be safe."

We run and then we walk through a door. I realize we were in the police station. I didn't feel safe her either, I knew there were dirty criminals but there were even worst cops.

He takes me to the room and shuts the door as he hands me cup of water. I drink it slowly. I was so unsure he starts to ask me questions "Who was it?"

I realize now that however many people this man has captive, I will watch die because I took the foolish way out and ran. I am selfish. I am a horrible person. I cry into my hands and Officer rubs my back waiting for me to calm down as I look at him in the eyes, he says "Your eyes are so beautiful. Green but the edge is blue falling golden into the middle."

I look down "He is going to kill people because I wouldn't go with him. Their blood is going to be on my hands."

He then says "Not if I can help it."

I answer their questions but I never give the guy's name because if I do get caught by them it would only make it worst. I had a bad feeling like I was being watched but not by officer Blake.

I didn't know what to do. I could sit in this police station were everyone is going crazy or I could just go face my death.

Officer Blake disappears and then I quickly walk out the door of the police station. I didn't know where I was going but I knew couldn't go home. I let me feet lead me and they led me to a grave yard. A grave yard to be my whole family is buried.

I drop to my knees, not feeling strong anymore. I cross the wording on my sister Aaria Baucom, then my brother Andrew Baucom, then my mother's Alyssa Baucom then lastly my father's Adrian. I start crying and as if the sky felt my pain, rain started pouring down. My long red hair sticking to my face. I wrap my brother's plaid shirt closer to myself and lay against the family headstone.

I guess I found sleep because when I woke up the sun was shining and I was in the same spot. I saw a black cat with one green eye and one blue looking at me, as if she felt my pain cuddling and purring into my legs. She has a scar above her eye to her nose but she still was beautiful, my sister would have loved her.

I gulp "I am going to be stronger."

I try to stand shivering, I almost fall. I grab the head stone, this is going to break me. I take a deep breath and I start walking, I come to realize the cat is following as I walk. I am shivering, my hair is still soaked to me. I probably look a mess with dirt on my legs. I probably look like a member from the walking dead.

I grab the brick of the building as I start to laugh. I can't stop until I cough and the cough hurts so badly, the cat purring and rubbing into my leg. I realize I need this cat more than ever.

I smile and pet her "I will name you, Luna."

I then lightly pick her up, heading to my apartment. Hoping no one is there. I quickly walk up the steps and I see my door is cracked open. I take a deep breath and when I walk in, nothing was moved or stolen… I am not losing my mind.

I then hear my phone going off and I rush to pick it up "Hell-o?"

Andrea then answers "Jolenea? Are you alright? I know yesterday was scary but I need you here at work."

I then nod "I will be there in thirty, sorry."

I hear her smile "Take an hour, I know this must be hard considering what happened."

I thank her and hang up the phone, I quickly take a shower. Then I dress in a burgundy shirt and a pair of black slacks with a pair of flats. I then brush my long wavy hair and put it in a bun. I put on some eyeliner and dark red lipstick, so hopefully nobody will realize I bit threw the skin.

I realize I don't have my purse, so I grab another purse and put Luna in it. I didn't want to leave her. I shut my door and walked to work hoping it was going to be a better day.

I got there but most of them were just cleaning, I scan my badge and I hope that I don't see Barsad.

The day goes rather quickly. He was lying because no one was missing or was dead. I saw no sign of him, not one glimpse.

When I was going home it was ten at night and a security guard named Eric says "Let me walk you out, Miss Baucom. You seem rather sick."

I nod and I start walking out the door we start walking and he says "Sorry about this, Jolenea. He will kill my family if I don't."

I look at him fuzzily before I realize he has a rag to my fare and I fight as hard as I can trying not to breathe as I kick him, I kick him off me and I get a few steps before he grabs my ankle and pulls me down.

The last thing I remembered was a sad look in his eyes and the feeling of doom upon me.
