2024-10-29 19:42:56What led to this situation? Rachael thought as she looked at her father in the driver’s seat.
She could see the fear in his eyes and that was something she rarely saw in her father, fear.Mr. McQueen was breathing hard, his grip on the steering wheel tightened as he drove faster.How could my daughter have gotten into this?This is all my fault. If I had come clean she wouldn’t have followed me, he thought as sweat dropped down his face.He moved fast, turning the other cars into a string of blurry images.Mr. McQueen matched the brakes as a woman suddenly appeared a few meters in front of the car, an action that would cost him.Immediately the brakes kicked in he heard a loud noise and felt a heavy object crash into his side of the car.His vision was distorted as the car stumbled and rolled across the road. His body hurt and his mind scrambled with the shattered glass piercing his body. Rachael opened her eyes, blood was all over the place; she was upside down and she wondered why.She turned to look at her father, the sight of the man shocked her. Mr. McQueen was drenched in his blood, his eyes were wide open but showed no sign of life in them.Rachael had just realized that they got hit by another vehicle, she tried to move but she couldn’t, her right leg was damaged and stuck. Blood dripped down and her pain rose up.She groaned in pain as tears slowly filled her eyes, her father was dead.Rachael heard some voices, “Help! Somebody help!!” she cried out. “Let’s kill her, she is of no use to us” Rachael heard a voice say, a man’s voice.“The boss doesn’t want any witnesses, drain her of her blood, quickly” another voice, another man.“I will leave the rest to the four of you then. I will go to the Lantern and report our success” a female voice this time.“Help, please help me! “ she shouted as she perceived the smell of petrol, “Shut up. You will join your father soon” she heard a man’s voice say.She heard footsteps coming closer to the car when all of a sudden silence fell. “What will happen to me?” she thought.The silence was broken by screams, the men screamed and finally, silence fell again.She heard approaching footsteps that stop close, the door was suddenly detached from the car and she was carried out. She was laid on the floor as the car exploded while she just stared into the eyes of her rescuer, he had blue glowing eyes which didn’t seem normal and his hand felt soft as he touched her face.“You will be alright,” he said, Rachael’s vision was blurry but she could still see the man kneel beside her until finally, she blacked out.Related chapters

Rachael runs into a park a few blocks away. As a little girl, she would always come to the park whenever she got sad and her father would always come to get her. He would bring flowers as a gift as he bathe her with compliments to brighten her mood. But now, that is all a memory of the past. A memory she buried in a box but has now been opened. Rachael walks until she sees an empty bench where she sits, “Why me?”. “A story is never good without a damsel,” Samuel says as he appears before her teary eyes. “Go away, leave me alone" she says, still agitated. He sits beside her, “I am sincerely sorry about this Miss McQueen” “Why me? Why my father? Why did my mother lie to me?”. Samuel scratches his head, “I don’t know Rachael.
