My New Neighbor

Episode 10

I rubbed my eyes aggressively to be sure of what I was seeing. It was really the building I just escaped from.

I could see the man grinning hysterically as if him re-capturing me was his gateway to heaven.

“This man doesn’t seem to know me”, I whispered to myself why shifting my hands down to where I kept my knives. I was planning on killing him at that very spot and perhaps, I can take use his car to escape.

I was about to stab him when he grabbed my hands and he signalled on the others to come by making lot of noises with the car’s body parts.

We started struggling and fighting for our lives inside the small car. Apparently, he thought I was a weak object he could just handle and return back to the den.

We kept on struggling and making noises when the door of the building was opened. I guess they have heard the noise we were making because about five of them came running out of the building.

I realized that they have called for reinforcement after I escaped. They were now more men inside the building and some had guns with them.

I was still struggling with the man that helped me earlier and is now trying to back stab me when I saw the handsome, unknown and unnamed driver that kidnapped me earlier among the five people.

I knew that he’s not gonna spare me if he gets to that car and he finds me there. I knew that I had to escape and I have to do that fast.

I headbutted the man immediately and he lost his grasp for some few seconds. I used the opportunity to stab him immediately.

He gave out a shrill cry when the knife entered his flesh and he started groaning in pains. I didn’t even look at his face and his wound twice before I removed the knife and unlocked the door.

I was fortunate enough to find my way into the forest immediately they got to the car.

” Fred!!!, that’s her running behind the trees”, one of the guys shouted to the man that was holding the big cutlass. I realized for the first time that the name of the handsome driver that kidnapped me was Fred and I’m sure that Fred is not gonna spare me if he gets his hands on me.

They all followed me in hot pursuit inside the forest while leaving some few men at the building to make sure that no one else escapes.

I was so sure that even, Michael Scofield is gonna be amazed with my two hours escape plan although, it was all coincidental and unexpected. I smiled at myself in pain while running far into the forest with the average sized sharp knife clutched in my left hands.

I glanced back frantically while running and I realized that Fred was now the only one after me.

“Maybe they have scattered, or perhaps, they have gone back to the building”, I whispered to myself.

I knew that my chance of escaping would be high if Fred was the only one after me.

I smiled at myself while looking at the knife I was holding.

“Maybe I can actually take my revenge on this guy now and have a taste of his blood, or maybe I could just wait and hide for him to pass till I get a better chance of killing him”, I asked myself in confusion.

I was still running and Fred was still following him in hot pursuit with one thing on his mind. To kill me.

I was still ruminating on what and what not to do when I bumped into a wall. A very hard wall that made me loose my senses for some seconds and my sight became blurry.

I fell to the ground immediately.

I was still shaking my head in order to get a clearer sight when I realised that I didn’t bump into a wall. It was a man I bumped into, not a wall.

I realized that I just bumped into one of Fred’s men. A huge man that was holding about 8 knives together. The man could obviously handle a knife better than Pete, I could see that with the way he was holding them.

It was as if the knives were sticking to his hands.

I was still trying to recover from the shock I experienced earlier when I saw Fred closing in on us.
