I hope you'll enjoy reading the next chapter and please review.
Through the bushes I could see the two men turning around; as they turned around I could see one of the most horrible sights. There on the floor was….
They're lying on the floor was the corpse of a young woman with black hair. She was wearing a red dress, but you could see that at one point it used to be white. There was blood everywhere and only now I could see what that strange sound was. Only to think about it made my stomach turn and I had a hard time not to vomit. But then they started to walk in my direction, I tried to be really silent. Behind me there was a little hill and they just passed me, as soon as they were over the small hill, I run to the baby took it and started to run. Unfortunately I tripped and that caused the baby to cry. When I looked back, I could see them and they saw me. They started to run in my direction. I got up as fast as I could and started to run. I ran and ran, soon I couldn't hear them anymore, but I knew that I couldn't stop running. After what seemed like an eternity, I could see a road in front of me. At first I didn't know that road, but then I remembered that it was the one going to Mystic Falls. Thankfully for me the baby seemed to have fallen asleep in my arms. After about another 15 minutes I was back in Mystic Falls, once there I went as fast as possible to my house. But in the middle of the street I saw the two men again. I felt so stupid to lead them into town. I should have thought before acting! So I went into the shadows and continued my way back home. There nobody was at home. I quickly walked up to my room and started packing. I couldn't stay, in a town with two murders on the loose, which were searching me. When I nearly finished packing, the house phone started ringing. I quickly went to get it, so the baby would wake up. "Hello?" "Mrs. Gilbert?" "Yes, who are you?" "Mrs. I'm agent Stoward from the APS, the American Protection Services. Are you at home?" "The APS? Yes, I'm at home. Why?" "Stay inside and don't phone anyone. We're on our way."
*30 minutes later*
Before that the APS arrived I took a closer look on the baby. He had a blonde hair and blue eyes. Then I found a bracelet around his feet. Normally these kinds of bracelet, a golden one, were to wear on the wrist, but apparently it was too big for his wrist. On the backside of the wrist, there was a name. If I could believe what was written, his name would be 'Ryan'. Ryan slowly woke up; he didn't seem to be frightened. He gave me big teeth less smile and wanted to take my outstretched finger. I took him down to the kitchen and warmed up some milk, I figured he would be hungry after everything and he was. Soon after he finished, I heard the doorbell ringing. I went to open it, but first I looked through the spy, to make sure it wasn't the murders. When I saw, that it wasn't them I opened the door, there were 4 agents. "Good evening, Mrs. May we come in?" "Yes, come in." I walked them to the living room and got them something to drink. "I'm agent Wood, these are the agents Jameson, Delfons and Chandlers. Mrs. You're maybe wondering why we called you." "Actually, yes." "You have to know, that we were spying on the two guys, you've seen. Unfortunately they were able to escape us, before they did; they said that they would kill somebody else as revenge." "What do you mean by escape?" "They are searched murders. They already killed allot. They sent us a picture of the woman they wanted to kill, we tried to reach her, but since she had a drug problem, she thought we wanted to arrest her. So she hid herself from us, but not before we had the chance to put a GPS on her son. The baby you're holding. We then saw that she, or better her baby was in the woods near here. But we came too late and we could only see them running away behind you. We figured that since it wasn't your baby, that you recued it from the two men. Thinking that they want to kill you is stupid, because we are sure of it." That was a lot to take in; I figured that they would want revenge, but that...certainly not. "Okay, what does that mean? Do I get a protection? Or how does that work?" "That means ….you need to leave, Madame. You need to leave as soon as possible!" "Leave? No, no, no! Why? Can't I just stay here?" Why, do I always have to leave? That's so unfair! "Mrs. Gilbert. We can't provide your security here. They'll try to kill you all the time. You need to get a new identity and to move to a different state. They're extremely dangerous; with leaving you provide the security of your loved once. But there's a thing…" "What thing? Please tell me everything!" "Okay, if you wish. Your family isn't allowed to know anything. This is for the baby's and your security, but also for your family. The other thing is more complicated. We'll have to...simulate your death." "WHAT? You're kidding right?" That can't be possible! Why? "No, we're serious. If your family believes your dead, then will the murders too. That will mean, that they won't look for you and that's an important thing. Then you'll be able to start a new live in another state." This isn't that wrong. It's true that, if I'm dead, they won't go after Jer or the others. "Okay, let's assume I'm accepting your offer. Where would I go? And what would be my 'fake death'?" "For your location we don't exactly know now. We have to open the envelope that we prepared for you and that is only authorized to be opened if the person in danger accepts. But for your death would be something like a car crash, but it should be something, where your family can't personally identify your body. So it would more be in the direction of car crash with a fire, where of course we bring our own services to 'identify' it. And then we'll organize ashes, or a corpse, to put into a casket or urn." Wow, that's really heavy work that they would do. "I've got one question. How long have I got to decide?" "Not long. Best would be if you could decide in the next 20 minutes or so." "Okay. Oh, and what's with the baby? Is he in danger too?" "Yes, unfortunately. We would've to place him in a trusted family or an orphanage in another state of course. But the best would be if you'd take him, but you really don't have to. You can decide, but of course only if you leave." Leave that little angel alone? Can I do that? "You know what. I'm coming. It would only be selfish if I would stay, only because I don't want to leave. And I'll take Ryan, the baby, with me." "Good, so you're coming. Jameson, could you give me the envelope?" The agent Jameson gave him the envelope and the agent Wood opened and read it. Then he turned back to me and said." Okay, Mrs. Elena... Your new name is…."
Thank you for reading the second chapter of 'innocents of the night'. I hope you liked it and I'm open for any thought or wishes concerning my stories. I'll try to write the next chapter as soon as possible.
