Getaway Car

Chapter 1- Nightmare

"Don't do this-" before he could even finish the sentence, a gunshot was heard in the room. Everything happened so fast. I saw the man I loved fell down on his knees before finally collapsing on the ground.

The pool of blood surrounding him started coming in my direction. A feet away from me and the room suddenly turned to complete darkness. I couldn't see anything but I could feel myself sinking. I tried everything but it was useless as I just couldn't getaway, something's pulling me down.

Half of my body is already drowning in... blood? And that's when the disgusting smell of it filled my nose. Horror is written all over my face when I realized whose blood it belongs to- His.

I took one last breath before letting myself submerged. Every second gets harder for me. I wanted to breath but I can't. I finally couldn't hold my brea-....

A gasp scaped my mouth as I woke up panting like I've ran a marathon. Sweats covered my face and dropping to the sheet. I had that nightmare again.

I got out from the bed, pulled my gun under the pillow and went to the bathroom sink to wash my face. Hoping it would take away that bad dream, which is completely impossible.

I dried my face and looked at the mirror scanning myself. A long scar at the right side on my forehead about two inches long is just one of the reminder from my previous life. A life that I don't want to be a part of again.

My attention was diverted to the footsteps and shouting all over the motel I'm currently staying. It's them again, they found me in less than two days. I looked at my watch and saw that it was still two in the morning. Bastards, I haven't even had a good sleep after having a bad dream.

Holding my gun I checked the room finding a spot where I could get in through to escape. I saw a window on the right side of the room and immediately grabbed my bag. As I was making my way to the window, a group of people are trying to open my door.

"Open the fucking door or it will be raining bullets in your room!!!" A guy shouted from outside the room while kicking the door.

I didn't think twice as I opened up the window when bullets flew across the room breaking everything inside and finally the door. I jumped from the window which is two stories high without even thinking and landed on a car.

"Who ever owns this car, I'm sorry" I muttered to myself. I jumped from it when a man spoke through the window.

"There you are." before he could even raise his gun, I shot him straight to the head.

"Slow move baby" I started running straight to my another stolen car when I felt a pang of pain in my right shoulder.

"Shit!" I hissed as I could feel the blood on my skin.

"She's running away!!" Another set of bullets came in my direction as I run faster ignoring the pain. I get into the car and started the engine. I sight of relief scaped my mouth as I drifted away from them. But hell I was wrong.

I jerked when I saw my side mirror fell down the street shattering into pieces. Now it'll get harder for me to check on them. Speeding up, I looked outside the window and saw they're fast approaching. The sound of gunshots' irritating the shit out of me. I'm glad they still haven't made any damage on the tires.

"Oh come on" I said as another bullet hit the other side mirror. I let half of my body out through the window and started firing out my gun in their direction killing the driver and the other one in the front seat. I was able to hit one of the tires making them lost their control. Pressing the break, I waited for the impact. My forehead collided with the steering wheel sending a jolt of pain through my head. Their car flew across mine before landing on the street.

"Ouch" I said while touching my head. I watched as the enemies' car keep on rolling on the road before finally exploding. The fire looked like a big bonfire lighting the deserted road.

I released a long exhausted breath due to this eventful morning. It's already past four and I'm starving. I started to drive further before stopping somewhere to clean my wound. I opened my bag and grabbed all the necessary things I'll be needing in cleaning it up. Gladly it was just a cut, nothing too serious like a bullet under my skin. The sun started to show up just as I finished stitching my wound. I rested inside my car for a while before driving again.

The sound of my stomach rumbling is just another reminder that I'm totally starving. I checked my bag hoping I would find something to eat but found nothing. But a smile appeared on my face when I saw a signage of a gas station. As I was nearing in the station, I saw a car parked in there. Moments later a man with long curly hair got out from the driver's seat followed by another man in the passenger sit with a total opposite hair cut from the previous one.

I looked around checking for any sign of threats before grabbing my bag and tucking my gun on the waist band of my jeans.

Hope you guys enjoyed this one so far. You'll get to know more of Ellie's life on the next chapter. I would really love to hear your comments. Thank you!! :D
