Chapter 4

I quickly tried to think of what I was supposed to do, but nothing came to mind. I had the impression that I lost everything I ever knew about the curses grandma always recounted me about.

Thinking hard, I finally decided that the best thing to do if I didn't want to die, was maybe to use my own "power". I only used it once, and that was by mistake, because I certainly never to inflect this to anyone.

I took a deep breath, trying not to think of what I was going to do – really important if I didn't want to go insane. At that exact moment, when I release my breath, I noticed figures coming toward where we were, and squinting, I could see it was three persons, in some weird dive suit, hardly walking with it, but they still seemed determine to reach their destination.

I let a sight out, eventually reassured that I wasn't screwed, and that I wouldn't have to put my gloves off, it wouldn't be necessary. I really was relieved to see them coming, I didn't expect anyone to come as close as I was to the trouble. Waiting for them to reach us, I tried to calm myself, my breath, until I saw them stop. I started to panic. No! they had to come, they can't lemme there, I didn't wanna have to kill the poor boy. It wasn't his fault, he never asked for it to happen.

I then saw two of the figures turned away and walked back to the others, one supporting the other. The last one kept going my way, the more it came closer, the more I recognized who it was. And I was 99% sure that it was Audrey Parker, the agent of the police I saw at the cafe.

We locked gaze, and I noticed the way she looked at me, as if I was some kind of a weirdo. She continued to the guy that was standing besides, the cause of all of this. I couldn't hear what she was saying to him, but I saw his look of panic, soften a little bit. There were a harsh wave of pain bumping on me, really quickly, before it went down again.

In the distance, as I was trying to walk towards the safe place where all the other people were looking at us, I could see one of the person that tried to come before in the dive suit, trying to come again. When suddenly, I felt no more pain, no more pressure. The calmness rush into my whole body, making me a little dizzy by its unexpectedness. I was close to fall down on the grass, when I felt strong arms stopping my fall. Looking up, I only could see a blurred face on an aquarium, with some difficulties.

The person helped me to walk to a van, half supporting my body, avoiding me to fall as a dead weight. Finally reaching it, he opened the back doors of the van and helped me to sit. When the person eventually got off the suit, I could see the person I had to thank for it, and was happy to realize that it was my dear lovely brother who decided to come for me.

It's when I saw his worried look that I reminded myself to smile, not wanting him to fret for me. Seeing my smile, he let a grin showed up, and came sit just beside me.

"How are you feeling love?" "I've been better, but I'll be fine, thanks" I answered him with a little smile.

"Really? Well, if you think so, I must give you an advice… you should leave while you can, 'cause in the instant the two lovely birds right there will see you, they'll jump on you to know how you managed to get off this, alive!" he looked at the cops that were talking to each other still in their dive suit. Then, he turned his gaze, scanning me "And I have to say, that I'm a little bit curious myself" he slightly held his head cocked.

"Thanks for the advice, I take it in note" I winked and started to take my leave.

"Hey, wait! Do you want me to give you a ride? I'm not sur you should take the road alone after what you've just come to go throw."

I stopped on my way and thought. On the one hand it could be a good thing to have him bringing me back to my camp, we would have the opportunity to talk a little, and know each other better… But on the other hand, there was the risk he would wanna try to worm the truth about what happened just a while before out of me, and I was not sure that it would be a good idea to let him know. In addition, I didn't know how I could refuse him it without hurting him, or making him thought I didn't trust him…

"Alright, let's go! But hurry before I change my mind" I finally told him with a light smirk.

I could see his pleased look when he rushed into the van, behind the wheel. We saw the two officers trying to reach us when they heard the roar of the van's motor when he started it.

Duke quickly took the road to drive us away the faster he could. When we were finally far enough, I released the breath I didn't realize I was holding.

"See? You're lucky I'm here!" he said me with an ear-to-ear grin, really happy he was right.

"Yeah, yeah, what I would've made without you?" I joked ironically. "Well, if you really wanna know, you would be at the police station with the two officers, harassing you to tell them the truth." He told me in a serious tone.

"It's true… Thank you for helping me over there." I gave him a warm smile, obviously happy to have him with me, and to have the chance to count on him event if he still didn't know who I was for him.

"So, where are we going love? Did you already find a spot to install yourself?" he asked me.

"Well, actually, yes. It's on the Hill over the city. There is a nice place surrounding by trees at the beginning of the forest."

"Let's go for it! Just show me the way." He joyfully stated.

After some curves, we reached the top of the hill where he stopped the van. We got out of it and he came beside me, ready to catch me if I ever stumbled. We went threw the few trees there were between us and my stuffs, and eventually get to them.

I turned around and stare at him. "Well, thank you a lot for coming with me, but I think I'm gonna take some rest now." I smiled.

"Hm.. okay. Well, I hope to see you tomorrow" he widely grin. "don't hesitate to drop by the restaurant. I would be more than happy to offer you a drink." He winked.

"Be careful, you have to do it now" I told him joyfully.

As he went back to the van, I sent him a wave and went to my tent. As I was slowly falling asleep, I decided that, yes, I would go see him the following day.
