The cold wind never ceased to stop blowing as I walked up the street. Slowly making my way to my first destination and that was my friend Adrian. He was the only person besides my deceased parents who knew about what I was. The light of Adrians' door brought me some amount of comfort as I tapped on his door. My ears picked up the sound of footsteps coming quickly to the door and the door knob turned and opened to reveal Adrian on the otherside.
I envied him for his height since he was about six foot two and I was about five foot. His hair was the color of wheat flax in the summer and a dark blond in the winter.
" Guinevere what happened? Why are you here at such a late hour?" Adrian questioned as his dark blue eyes bore into my icy blue eyes,
" Can I come in and explain?"I asked moving closer to the doorway, waiting for him to move out of the way
His head tilted off to the side as if pondering if he should let me in. The time seemed to tick by as I stood in the doorway with him blocking it. Then with a sudden surprise of speed he moved out of the way and allowed me to enter into the living room. The living room seemed to give off a cozy welcome as I sat down on the couch with Adrian seated across from me on the futon chair.
" so start talking"He said resting his hands on his knees and leaning foward as I started to explain what happened tonight.
When I finished with my story I took a deep breath and waited for his reaction. His face was considerably pale and his eyes were glazed over with shock. No reaction came for a few seconds and I noticed that he was gripping his knees to the point where he might be breaking the skin.
" You do know this will be on the news" He said trying to keep himself from yelling at me.
"That's why I came to you for help" I replied sinking further into the couch.
He suddenly stood up and motioned for me to follow him as we walked to the back of the house and towards his garage. At first it was dark and I could only make out the outline of a car. But once the light was on I saw the car more clearly. It was a 2006 mustang with racing stripes. My eyes sparked with joy as I walked to the front and opened the car door. The leather interior felt good against my skin when I sat down and waited for Adrian to start the Mustang up.
Sirens were the only thing I heard as we came upon my recently burnt down house. News crew were everywhere trying to get the scoop on the house and the people who lived there. I felt something heavy but warm on my shoulder and realized that it was Adrians hand on my shoulder. I turned my head away from the scene and mumbled " go"
We stopped for the night at a hotel so I could rest and regain some strenght. Sadly I barely got any sleep since i kept having those horrid images of the incident playing over and over in my head. It was past midnight when I finally passed out. I woke up early in the morning and waited for Adrian to come and get me. We ate breakfast at I-hops and got dessert from Sonic. Soon we were heading toward BPRD at a lesiurely speed. I loved how they disguised the underground base as a large, white house upon getting there and staring at the place for some time.
Adrian stopped the car and rolled down his window when an officer approached the car. I immediately recognized him as one of my friends. I stayed quite as the two were arguing over about letting me get inside'. Eventually, I got tired and leaned over so the officer could see my face clearly and smiled widely.
" Mornin"I said waving at the officer.
The officer seemed to know me quite well since he waved back and let us go on through. Adrian remained quite since he knew he could have let me handle the situation. I looked at Adrian briefly as the Mustang was brought to a halt at the front entrance. He gave me a pat on the back and a reassuring smile before unlocking the door. I smiled andhopped out of the Mustang that I loved so much and walked up to the front and turned to wave bye to Adrian.
" Be careful" Adrian shouted as he backed the Mustang out and drove off,leaving me alone.
I took several deep breaths and opened the large doors and smiled.
