Pfft,its just a girl Martins

His Pov.

"How many more hours till we arrive,I'm already tired for God sake" Martins groaned.

I rolled my eyes.

"How about a sixteen minutes, and it'll be quicker if you just shut it for a second" I said without taking my eyes off my phone.

Then ,the car began to slow down,I looked up and we weren't anywhere near my empire.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"I'm sorry sir,I think the car just broke down" my driver said getting out of the car to check the engine.

I sighed,"Great,now the vehicle just broke down in the middle of nowhere, this day can't get any better" I said sarcastically.

"Let's switch cars then, we'll follow the convoy, they'll call someone to come fix this one" Martins said getting out of the car.

I rolled my eyes and got out of the car too.

The other vehicles surrounding me had stopped too.

"Any problem sir?" my chief body guard asked coming down from the car.

"Well apparently the vehicle stopped" I said.

I looked around,we were literally in the middle of nowhere, only tall trees surrounding us. Well not completely nowhere,it's just a few more miles to my empire.

"Let's get you in another car boss" he said and I followed him to the other car.

Just as I was about to enter,I saw some movements in the trees. I stopped walking and stared more intensely, hoping I wasn't hallucinating or seeing things.

"Is everything alright sir?" he asked.

I didn't respond,I was staring at the tree,then,there was a movement again, this time,it was clearer. It was definitely a human.

"Someone's there" I whispered. My arm slowly moved to my waist belt where my gun was.

Martins walked up to me.

"Dude? what is it?" he asked.

"There's someone there... watching us" I said slowly.

"What if it's a spy" he said.

Then,the person poked his head out and as soon as the person saw that we had noticed the persons presence, the person immediately started running.

I don't know why,but Martins and I started running after the person.

It was a long run down the hills, through the woods and all, finally, the person tripped over a fallen tree and landed with a sharp shriek.

Wait, what the hell?!!

I walked up to the person,I pulled off the veil.

Shit..

Holy Shit...

It's a girl..

She was in pains...

"Please... don't.. don't.. take me to...to him.." she choked out.

"What?" I asked confused.

Her eyes slowly opened and was I taken aback.

They were blue... just like mine...

It was like I was looking in a mirror..

A blue glassy mirror...

Then, her eyes closed tight and then her tensed body relaxed.

"Oh my shit,we killed her" Martins said.

I touched the side of her neck.

"Naa, she just passed out, she'll be fine" I said and got up to leave.

"Dude where the hell are you going?" he asked.

I shrugged,"Back the where the others are so we could head back to the empire, I mean you were literally the one wailing all through the ride that you're tired and wanna head back quickly" I said.

"Dude we just chased this lady for no reason and she passed out and you want to leave her here in this deserted place?!"

"One, we chased her because we thought she was a spy, two,she knows why she's here, she can find her way back when she wakes up" I said.

"C'mon we can't just leave this creature here alone in this place, what if a wild animal eat her up" he said.

I sighed and rubbed my temples.

"Since when did you start caring about other people? and geez it's just a girl Martins, what do you want me to do, bring her home to our empire? what if she's actually a spy? what if this is all part of the plan?" I said.

"And what if she isn't, what if she's just an innocent lady that was stalking you or just staring at you, what if something happens to her and they find out it's our fault, imagine what there gonna tell Grandpa, remember we don't kill unless there's a reason for it" Martins said and I sighed and started leaving.

"Do whatever makes you happy lil guy, just don't stress me" I said.

And of course, Martins brought her back to our empire.

He's just doing all these because it's a lady and he's loosed around women.

And I keep reminding him that it's gonna be a woman that's gonna get him to his grave.

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Her Pov

I opened my eyes slowly and cursed inwardly...my head was spinning....it was on fire.

I rolled and stretched on my comfortable soft bed, little rays of sunlight hit me,I smiled still with my eyes closed.

Sweet smell of freshly made pancakes filled my nose.

Mum must be making those her lovely pancakes again.

Then in a flash, my smile faded slowly off my face.

What the hell?

My eyes flew opened.

This isn't my room, my house was burnt into ashes 4 years ago...

My mom can't be the one making pancakes... she was buried alive years ago too.

I looked around in the strange environment,how did I get here?

what am I doing here?

was I kidnapped again?

Did Mario finally capture me again?

But if he did, he would have just tied me up as usual and dump me on a cold floor, not a comfy bed.

I looked at my body,I still had my clothes on.

I took a deep breath in and then slowly got out of bed.

My legs sank into this very soft warm rug.

I slowly began walking to the door.

I opened it slowly and looked around.

How did I get here?!!

Then,that lovely pancake smell hit me again making my tummy rumble.

I haven't eaten something like that in years, I've been feeding on fruits and nuts from trees, and I'm not even a vegetarian!!

I started walking slowly towards the stairs,I was hearing voices...I looked around and Saw an umbrella... that's a good defense weapon, could come in handy.

I reached the base of the stairs and met three guys sitting on a couch backing me.

Whoever owned this house was pretty wealthy because damn these furnitures looks like it cost a million or two.

Then, as if noticing my presence, one of them turned.

"Who's that?" the guy asked.

He looks like he's some years older than me, brown wavy hair and all.

"That should be the girl Martins said they got yesterday" another guy said, he had black hair, black eye color.

Then the third guy turned.

"Oh he's, you're awake" he said a bit excited and started walking towards me.

He was pretty tall, had green eyes, had his brown hair tied up.

"Hi,I'm..." but I didn't let him finish,my protective instinct kicked him and I attacked him with the umbrella.

He definitely wasn't expecting that.

"What the fu- "

"Who are you and what am I doing here?!!" I asked pointing the umbrella at him.

"I was about to say that until-"

"Start talking!!!" I yelled.

"Martins what the hell?!" the brown haired dude asked.

"I don't know!" he yelled still trying to recover from the pain on his leg.

"What is going on here?" a calm voice asked descending from the stairs.

I turned the umbrella to his direction.

He looked at me and arched his brow.

He had this dirty blonde hair that stopped on his shoulders, and his eyes,they were sea blue, just like mine.

"She just started attacking me,I don't know" the other guy cried.

Then the guy in front of me gave a short laugh, wait like this is funny to him?!

"Well you're the one who's tryna be the nice guy, told you to abandon her but no, you didn't, have fun" he said and walked pass me and went down the stairs.

Then he turned back to me and said.

"Oh and it's pretty dumb to think that you can use an umbrella as a defense weapon, they're like 4 able bodied guys in this room right now that can take you down instantly if we want to,so think of something better" he said and started walking away.

That's when I realized how dumb that was.

"What am I doing here" I finally got the courage to ask.

He stopped walking and turned to face me.

He gave this gothic smile and tucked his hair behind his ear.

"You passed out yesterday when we were chasing you because you were stalking us for weird reasons, my friend here that you just attacked was the one who suggested we bring you back here, just to be polite,but that's a nice thank you I guess" he said and walked out the the door.

I paused as everything began to play in my head again.

I was running away from them because I thought Mario sent them to get me...

Oh shit, and they helped me..

But wait, what if it's all a plan, what if he actually did send them to get me.

I guess I'll have to stand on my toes.

"I'm sorry" I said nervously to the guy I just attacked.

He sighed,"Whatever" I said pretty pissed and Left with his friends.

Wait,dud they just leave me here all alone?!!

What if they went to tell Mario that they've got me?!

My heart started pounding,and so did my stomach when I perceived the aromatic smell of freshly made pancakes again.

I was so freaken hungry.

Maybe before I run away u could just have some food.

Or before I get kidnapped again,I can have something tasty to eat and have energy to break out and run.

I found my way to the kitchen.

There it was...ten layers of hot pancakes.

I haven't seen something like this in years.

Maybe I was dreaming and will soon wake up.

I charged towards the food and paused, what if it was poisoned?!!

No Mario wants me alive.

What if they drugged it!?

What if this was planned?!!

My heart started racing again with the thought of Mario catching me again.

He had told me the last time that I escaped that if he catches me again, he'll make sure to kill me with his own hands.

I started panicking, how do I get out of here alive? who are these people? are they working for Mario too?!!

"What are you doing here?" I heard a voice behind me. It was the blue eyed guy

I jumped.

My heart was racing.

My heart beat increased.

"Where am I?" I asked shaking all over.

"My empire" he said with a shrug.

"Why did you bring me here" I asked.

"I just told you that already" he said.

"How am I sure you weren't told to capture me?" I asked.

He smirked,"Sure you're a not a wanted criminal?"he asked calmly.

I swallowed hard.

"Please just let me go" I whispered,I almost started crying.

I don't want to go back to Mario, he'll kill me.

"I'm not a criminal" I added.

"So why are you afraid of being captured?" he asked.

"Because they want me dead" I choked out.

"Who?" he asked.

I swallowed,I can't even say his name.

What if he knows Mario, what if they are friends and he tells him that he has found me.

I started shaking my head vigorously.

"I can't...I can't say his name" I choked out.

"So, you think you're the only person trying to be protected? what if you're a spy and this is all just a trick to get to find out some informations and give to my enemies?" he asked sternly.

I don't know how I'm going to say this...I don't know if I can trust him because I don't know who my enemy is.

"I'm not a spy..."

"Then are you a criminal?" he fired.

"I'm not a..."

"Then why are you being wanted?" he asked again.

His friend that I attacked came in.

"I'm just..it's not..."

"Then why are you running away, and who are you running away from?"

"It's not something I can just..."

"Well then, you wouldn't mind if I pass a message around the country that you've been found" he fired.

That was just it...I couldn't take it anymore.

"Don't!!! please...." I lost it...I just lost it...

Tears started gathering my eyes.

"Dude.. just.." the other guy said trying to calm him down, but he took his hands up ordering him to stop.

I took a deep breath in and out to stop myself from crying.

The one thing I've learnt from all these shits I've been through is that you should never let your enemies see you weak, never give them the satisfaction of seeing you give up.

"If you do that...then I'll advise you just kill me now than carry me to my enemies, please. Look I'm not...I'm not what you think I am,I'm not a spy I don't even know how I got here,I'm just running away for the sake of my life okay?!! something I've been doing for the past 4 years consecutively.

So don't even think about telling my enemies where I am, because if you're gonna do that then just tell me right now so that I can just get a knife here and put it right through me because I rather die with my hands than that of my enemies" I said firmly.

He didn't seem moved.

"So who are you running from and why?" he asked again.

"And what if I tell you and you go ahead and tell the person and I get kidnapped again for like the 40th time?!!" I fired back.

"Well then if you refuse to let me know,the city gate is opened till 6pm, you may leave" he said and walked out.

I ran my hands through my hair.

I'm so done for.
