So I finished chapter one, and decided I may as well upload another chapter too seeing as they're both quite short!
Thanks for reading chapter one, enjoy! :)
Chapter 2
The blonde man looked at me with a face of pure shock, and then he put his gun in its holster.
"I'm not going to kill you, promise. How did you get here?" He quizzed, taking in my appearance.
Yeah I didn't exactly look like I was ready for battle. I was wearing black skinny jeans, that I now hated because I swear they were going to split any second and embarrass me in front of this sexy, gun wielding man, a dark brown leather jacket and a pair of studded boots that came halfway up my calves, that were now making my feet throb after running in them. These were meant to be my hard-wearing, comfy travelling clothes; they definitely weren't so comfy now though.
My voice shook when I answered him, but I was extremely keen to explain my situation to him in case he might be able to help me get to my sisters in one piece and soon.
"I took a detour where a bridge was out, and ended up driving through a forest for nearly three hours. My sister lives in this part of Spain, but I got lost on my way there, then my car broke down and I had to walk the rest of the way. That was when I got to that house. As you can see, I'm not exactly having the best day today!" I answered, hoping that he would contact somebody to bring me to my sisters, and then carry on with his business.
He half smiled at me while he thought about that for a minute before taking out some sort of walkie-talkie with a screen on it.
"Is everything okay?" A woman's voice came from the speaker.
"There was a hostile local, I had no choice but to neutralise him. I think there are more surrounding the area."
"Get out of there and head towards the village. Take whatever means necessary to save the subject."
Wow, she really didn't care about what this man was being put through did she?
"Understood. I encountered a civilian on my way, she's here now."
The woman paused.
"Is she injured? How did she get there?"
"She seems fine, she says she took a detour and ended up here after her car broke down. But it's not safe for her; she needs to get out of here as soon as possible."
"Leon, I'm afraid we cannot dispatch a helicopter until you have the subject."
"What about the way I came? I walked over a bridge." I said desperately.
"They took the bridge down, there's nowhere to go except forward." The man called Leon gave me an apologetic look.
"Well, Leon, you'll have to keep her with you until you find the subject. Your main task now is getting to the village."
"Okay." He hung up and looked at me.
Shit. I was stuck here, until this man found 'the subject'? How bloody long would that take? And how many more axes would I have to get thrown at my face before I could go to my sisters? I prayed it would only be a few more hours.
"What's your name?" He asked, obviously attempting to be friendly.
"Eva. I take it yours is Leon?" I responded.
"It is, sorry about you having to tag a long here. It should only take a couple of hours to do what I came here to do." Leon said.
"What did you come here to do?" I asked, interested.
Obviously deciding how much to tell me, Leon broke a couple of the boxes in the shed and collected the contents before he answered; there were two little red boxes and a weird green plant that looked strangely like a marijuana plant... I hoped I wasn't stuck here with some deranged hippy or something.
"I was sent here to see if the president's daughter is being held here, she was abducted not too long ago. I thought it would be a bit more straightforward, but obviously it's not going to be as easy as I'd hoped." Leon sighed. Then he finally looked at me.
"What happened to your face?" He said, walking forward to look at me more.
Man, he has nice muscles, I thought. I grinned on the inside; trust me to notice things like that in the middle of a crisis.
"Well, while I was being chased by one of those psychos, I fell right on my face. I'm fine other than that." I replied, only noticing now that my lower lip was slightly swollen and sore. "What's wrong with them?"
"I don't know... They're definitely not normal anyway. Come on, we better get a move on if we're going to get out of here." Leon said, taking his gun out of his holster and walking out of the shed.
I grinned to myself as I followed him; I suppose there were worse people I could be stuck with in a situation like this. He was quite easy on the eyes.
"What are you smiling at?"
Leon was looking back at me giving me a look that said he questioned my sanity. Damnit. I always managed to make a fool of myself. I felt my cheeks go blood red and I looked at the ground.
"Nothing, lead the way mister!" I said briskly, following him to rather large and creepy looking double doors.
Sorry the chapters are quite short, they'll get longer I promise :)
Thanks so much for reading guys, and please drop a quick review to let me know if I should continue! :)
