JASON
I jump into the van and the guy at the door slams it shut quickly while my savior steps on the pedal and we were speeding away from the chasers. They try their hardest to stop us even going as far as shooting us with the ball of energy from before but I guess our speed was faster than the balls.
The car keeps speeding and as we neared my house I expect them to slow down and drop me off but he keeps on driving past my house. I don't understand why he took me beyond it but I won't stand and be kidnapped
"Where the hell are you taking me, you just drove past my house" I ask and he ignores me "are you deaf, I thought you said you were here to help me now you kidnap me. How helpful" I scream with my last sentence dripping with the highest level of sarcasm. He keeps quiet but when I keep murmuring he finally replies.
"We can't take you home because everyone around you now is in danger" he says and I go silent in shock, how is that even possible. I'm just a loner from Corlen. He senses my discomfort and continues "those people chasing you are mercenaries and I'm sure they have been trailing you from your house meaning they will be back there to check you" he explains and I nod in understanding as fear begins to grip me for my family
"what of my parents they are in the house, what is going to happen to them. If they don't see me they would start looking and it will only take a while before they find me through them. I just hope they dont torture them" I ask and he stops to think for a while before replying
"Looking at their tenacity and obvious secrecy while trailing you I'll say they won't want anything tracing back to them so they won't get close to your parents. Onw thing i know is that they would keep tabs them as a means to track you so you can't contact them for now" he says and i cock my head to the side to see him well before scoffing and laughing
"You must be joking right, they would be worried sick and grandpa just died they won't take my loss so easy. I can't do that to them" I reply and the other one who has been practically mute through the whole conversation replies
"if you love them and want both of them and you to be safe you have to. I know it's not easy but it is the best decision right now and the only way you can protect them." he says and I slump onto the walls of the car and remain there quiet and lost in thought. I have just gone from angry teenager to teenager in hiding.
The car finally falls into silence everyone lost in their own world and thoughts.We keep driving for hours and when we finally park it was late in the night already. We were in front of a motel in the middle of a quaint and almost empty town.
"Where are we" I ask as we all get down and start heading for a room in the motel. They have either been here before or stay here because they don't even check in.
"Our shelter for the night" the driver replies bringingaa out the key and he opens the room door. We walk in and the room was practically empty, except for the luggage boxes and briefcases beside the beds and the take out cases on the table which looked fresh. They stay here.
"So you guys stay here" I ask looking round the room with disgust and discontent. They both shrug and start getting comfortable in their different spaces
"For now yes so get as comfortable as you can but not too much" the driver replies and I nod and take my seat on the bed, looking at him now from the bright light of the room he doesn't look like a poor driver. None of them look like that.
The driver was the taller and older one standing around 6'6ft. He was well built and muscular looking. From his behaviour and looks he was around his mid or late twenties. He had a smooth caucasian skin with light brown hair that had streaks of grey in them and grey eyes that shine bright in the light of the moon. Come to think of it they have been shinning all day.
He had on black top, leather jacket, khaki trousers and equally black military boots. He looked a lot like a trained mercenary on a mission. His hair was tussled from the whole day's event and he had bags under his eyes from exhaustion but he still looked agile enough to fight in a world war immediately.
The other was a little shorter standing around 6'3ft and way younger, he looked around my age with lean muscle gotten from constant trainings. He also had clear and smooth mexican skin and face with black hair that was neat and well kept with purple streaks here and there. He had very deep purple eye color which was also shinning like the driver's own.
How does a person have purple eye color? Maybe he uses contacts. He was also in the same all black but with glasses that make him look geeky and less scary. He also looks very exhausted juust like the driver. He seems like the quiet but very smart person.
I was so lost trying to know my captors that I didn't hear the driver speaking to me. He taps me and brings my focus back to him taking me out of my thoughts
"hmmh you were saying" I ask and he shakes his head
"Pay attention kid your life might depend on it. I was telling you to get some sleep because we will be leaving at first light" he says in a stern voice and I nod unconsciously before remembering i was woth strangers.
"where exactly are we going" I ask not comfortable with just going with them still and he smiles
"you'll see when we get there" he replies in a very devious low tone. He can be so scary and an ass at the same time.Their secrecy was getting very frustrating so I take a deep breath to calm myself before speaking again
"If you won't tell me where we are going as I don't have a choice in the matter. I could at least know those I'm following to God knows where" I ask trying to be very careful what I say since I am in the midst of strangers. They were already setting their beds so they look up from it to face me. The both hesitate studing my face before speaking. The driver was the first to speak
"My name is Dominic Arduin and my associate is Isaac Careen. Happy now" he answers a little annoyed and I nod "now get some sleep we have a long journey before us tomorrow" he says and I lay on the bed while he sleeps on the floor. I was laying in the bed facing the ceiling reminiscing everything that has happened today and a lot of things don't make sense in it.
"Nic do you know why those guys were chasing me and what they wanted from me" I ask into the air hoping he was still awake but all I get back is silence. I was going to give up and sleep when he replies
"yes" he says and I jump up from my position to sit on my bed and look down to face him
"Why, please tell me?" I ask and he considers it for a while before replying. Looking at him it wassotethibg he was not supposed to say and he was fighting an internal war which my luck wins.
"Because you are a very special young man" he says and I was more confused than before
"what do you mean by that" I ask and he smiles mischievously
"All will be clear very soon boy, now get some sleep" he says before facing the other side and trying to get some sleep and I knew nothing else is coming from there.
I look to my side and Isaac was fast asleep and he looked a little innocent but i have been taught to not judge a book by its cover. I remain awake thinking about what he meant by me being special and how that explain all the strange occurrences I have seen today. Finally late into my brooding in the middle of the night I'm finally drawn into the able hands of sleep with only one thought
Who am I exactly
