The man’s stance was crouched and every feature of him indicated that he was old. It was obvious that if I returned to my car he won’t harm me. The cat purred in my arms. The beeping sound of my watch kept attracting attention. I glanced towards the car which was barely visible through thecrowd , when did I walk so far. “What the hell are you doing?” It was a man’s voice but unfamiliar. He grabbed my hand and pulled me , he ran and also making me run. I was running? The feeling of the slight stretch in my muscles , I was a bit out of breath. The ear piercing beeping sound was fading away. I could see his back. Unlike me he wore bright coloured clothes , a blue Hawaii shirt with pale brown loose trousers. His hand that grabbed mine with hard and sturdy. He wore a bracelet made of thread , it was tied tightly that it made his veins pop out. It was weird ,unlike before I could no longer hear the tapping sound made by my boots or the beeping sound of the watch. I could only feel my lungs gasping for air and the loud thumping sound.  I could not feel his grip even though he grabbed it tightly. The familiar piercing pain spread through my body. Suddenly everything darkened. “ My lady!” Sylvester kept shouting. I was awake and unfortunately alive. I  didn’t want to wake up , my eyelids felt heavy and I wanted to rest more. But the sweat covering my whole body irritated me. I slowly opened my wyes and found myself in the sofa of the Tv lounge of my house. I could bet the whole house staff was gathered around me. Waiting for me to die? Why wasn’t I surprised. I wished to die more than them. “ Sweetie live a long life and....”. The words that might look like comforting were more like a curse. I shifted my hands through the sofa. What was I looking for? there was a feeling of emptiness. “ Where’s the cat?” Sylvester looked at me with a puzzled expression with a pinch of annoyance.” My lady?” Vivid memories flashed through my mind. “ Where’s the man who saved me?”  “Saved You he’s the main reason you became like this” “ And the real person is not to blame?......I need to meet him” “ you can’t My lad.....” I could feel the annoyance that could no longer be contained. “ I’m not asking...its an order as the head of the Woodwork family”. I stood up, “Driver prepare the car”. 8964 copyright protection445ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnl61nRZYf 維尼
