•  Kylie's POV 
" How did I know your name, that is a funny question," I laughed nervously " put that gun down first so you won't do what you don't want." 
He chuckled, " I badly want it, I want to fire the bullet out of this gun, so don't dare me, now tell me how did you know my name." His voice was cold, held a lot of threats in it. I  supposed to be afraid of the gun but no I'm not rather I'm afraid of my secrets being expose but a little bit afraid of the gun. His hands could slip and the bullet fired.
I will be dead.
I won't see the beautiful day light all darkness. Will I even go to heaven ? Oh God, forgive me.
But who the hell is this guy or what...
I guess I'm not the only one with secrets.
I scanned the room looking for what to use to save myself.  I sighted a brown polished wooden desk with a worn out black armrest chair tucked in. There were surfboards hanging on the wall at the left also behind the desk ranging for different sizes and colors, there was door knob near the surfboard, so that means that the door is being covered. Luckily for me, the letter 'K' was being carved on one of the surfboard that has oranges striped with red.
It felt like a bulb lit above my head like in the cartoons.
" So your name is Kelly too ? " I asked like I am oblivious of his name, " well I only said Kelly because of that surfboard there," I pointed at the surfboard I was referring to, he turned to see where my hand was pointing. " his name is Kelly, so I call him that before taking him, I'm sorry if it offend you." I said hoping he will believe my lie.
" Well I am offended," He said lightly touching his chest like, " how will you give my sexy name to that thing, I'm definitely hurt, very hurt." He said dramatically making me roll my eyes.
" Oh please don't refer him to a thing, he is a sweetheart." I said sweetly and I blew kisses to the surfboard.
He gagged, " You are unbelievable," he said shaking his head in laughter. " Besides why are you wearing an hoodie, it is hot here." He sat down picking up the cotton wool then dab it inside the bowl  filled with a transparent liquid, so I took it as methylated spirit since the bottle was near it, he squeezed his face in pain as he applied it on his wound. Watching him doing it and groaning in pain, it felt like I'm feeling his pain.
I walked in front of him and stretch my hand to him, " Here let me help you,"
He looked at for a while then talk, " Why should I let you help me ? For all I know I don't know you or how you look like, you might be in a disguise to kill me, so why should I ?" He said placing his index finger on his chin tapping it with his elbow resting on his raised leg, he pushed his dark messy curls of his chocolate-brown hair to the back which rhymed well with his effulgent, molten-brown eyes, he was blessed with good looks.
" I know, I'm gorgeous that is why you can't resist staring at my beautiful face," he said cockily running his hands on his face then let out a laugh making me  roll my eyes and my face burned with embarrassment realizing he caught me staring. " I'm also curious to see how fine your face is, your body look fine." He said teasing as his eyes raked all over my body then his eyes fixed at one point, I traced his hands to where he was looking at, he was staring at my fair tonned legs.
What a pervert !
I rolled my eyes then smirk crossing my hands on my chest, " I know, I know, I'm hot that's why you can't resist staring at me." I said.
He chuckled at me, " You are amusing,"
" And hot," I winked at him, he laughed. " I'm about to unveil face don't stare too much." I said raising my hand to my hood, I pushed it down and tucked my black hair to my ear so he can see a good view of my pretty face.
" You are that music girl, what is her name again... Ehm... I will remember now... Yes now I remember, that girl named Kye right ?" He asks to be sure of what he said.
I nod my head as my response, " So since you have seen my face, can I help you ?" I said holding the bandage in my hands.
He stared at me from head and toe contemplating whether he should or not then he let out a sigh. " You can help me," handing over the cotton wool he was holding, I dropped the bandage on the bench he was sitting and took it then threw inside the waste bin beside the bench. I took another one dab it inside the methylated spirit then rub it gently afraid that I will hurt him more. 
I could feel his gaze on me and it was making me uncomfortable. The silence itself was not helping.
" Green eyes," I heard him mumble , I turn to him giving him a perplexed look he seems to notice it.
" Green eyes, you are eyes are green," he explains pointing to my eyes, I mouth out an 'oh' and smiled at him . " and it is enthralling." 
A blush crept up to my face, I look away wrapping the bandage on his arm. He chuckled at my actions.
" Who shot you ? Can't you not go to the hospital to treat your wound ? Why did you even come here ? Or were you shot here ? " I gasped covering my mouth with my hands then dropped it down and continue, " we should go to the police to report the case, they will surely file a case for you and arrest those who shot you or are you bad guy ? Is your life in danger ? what..." He placed his finger on my lip cutting off my rambling, I'm bombarding him with questions and I am expecting him to answer me. So silly of me.
He ran his finger through his hair, " you talk too much." He told me shaking his head.
I bit inside my cheek and mumbled out a sorry with my gaze on the floor. 
" It is okay, just..." He was saying but was cut off by the sound of  gunshots and the panicked screams that followed.
" What's happening outside ?" I asked, feeling scared of what might be going out there, I'm very sure I heard gunshots. My family are out there. Oh Lord keep them safe, I should go and meet them.
I was about moving to the door to step out but I was held by...
" Don't go," he said pleading with his hand holding my wrist.
I drag my hand from him, fold my hands on my chest and asked, " Why should I not go ? My family is there, out there only God knows what is happening outside. They must be looking for me everywhere, I should save them the stress of looking, so I'm going." 
" Well I'm sorry, you can't. Immediately you step out you are dead and they will see me, I can't risk that." He said running his finger through his messy hair like he is frustrated of something, I wonder what is making him feel frustrated.
" You talked like you don't want them to see you," I said still folding my arms, then a thought hit me, could it be ? " Or are they the one who shot you ?" 
" Yes," he nodded his head. "that is why I can't let you go outside, don't worry about your family they won't kill them or anybody they are just scaring them to vacant the area, the last thing they want is the police on their trail but they will kill you if they see with me."
" What did they want with you ?" I asked, feeling curious because why on Earth will someone be chasing an eighteen year old just to kill him, so there must be a reason.
" This," that was his reply, he brought out the black bag that was under the bench, I did not even notice something was there. He opened it up and brought out a small bottle that was filled with a greenish liquid.
" What's that ?"
" An antidote to a poison that was administer to someone and those people are trying to stop me because they want the person dead, please don't ask any other questions." 
" Okay," I mumbled forcing a smile, I wanted more details, I wonder what he is.
Suddenly a bullet pierced through the wall coming in, it flew past my face in a slow motion, very slow. I could see the bullet, the size, the metallic colour, everything. It was a miracle that I was not hit however I felt a little tinge of pain on my cheeks, I think it brushed my face. I froze still in shock on what happened, Kelly snapped his fingers infront of me bringing me out of my frozen state.
" Are you okay ? Fine ? " He cupped my face with concern in his eyes, " Thank God you are fine, you are very lucky you did not get shot." He said, smiling at me.
Extremely lucky !
I was still in shock that I could not return his smile, he won't mind.
Few minutes later, the bullets sound has died down, no sound was being heard. Kelly was peeping through the hole that the bullet made when coming inside the house, checking if it was okay to come out.
He heaved a sigh of relief and turned to me, " No one is out there, I think they have gone but I'm not sure. I hope you can run because you need it right now, here have this," he threw me a pocket knife which I caught. 
" What do I need it for ?" I asked, tucking it inside pockets of my hoodie.
" For self defense,"  He said in a 'duh' tone, he stretched his right hand forward to me. " Hope you are ready ?"
I raised my hood up place my hand on his. " Ready."
With that he held my hand tight and went outside, no single soul was there, the beach was scattered, things that people brought were still there , it was in a complete mess. 
Thank God there is no dead body. I hope my family is alright.
I forced my eyes to look back at Kelly who was still holding my hand running, it was not easy catching up to his pace but thankfully he was holding me unless I will be far behind him.
" Is that not the boy we are looking for ?" 
My heart flipped in fear when heard someone said that.
" Yeah, let's get him."
Kelly looked back and increase his speed. " They are here, let's run fast."
I looked back, I saw two men running towards us.
" There is a car not far from us, let's hurry up." Kelly said, I turned to him and I spotted an Honda Jeep just a few meters away from us.
He left my hand when we got there, the car doors were opened. I guess the owner ran away leaving the car.
" Hop in," Kelly said entering inside the car.
" This is called stealing, I can't partake in it."
He rolled his eyes, " Well if you don't, you will get killed." 
I looked back, they were almost near us. 
I sighed and enter the car then close the door. Immediately I did that, he turn the key which was in the key hole to the left starting the engine, the car coughs to life then he started driving.
I looked at the car window, they were no more running after us.
" We are no more being followed." I said with a sigh of relief resting my body on the chair, lightly placing my hand on my chest I could feel my heart pumping very fast.
" That does not mean we are safe," he said with his eyes focused on the road, we are still on the beach.
I turned to look at him, i just notice a faint scar on his cheek. He looked too focused, I wonder why they don't want him to deliver the antidote to the person who need it. Is he a spy or in a secret agent or something ? I wonder who he is truly, he looks too complicated to figure out. 
" You know I'm starting to think you are crushing on me due to the way you stare at me..." He said turning to me with a smirk on his face making me roll my eyes forcing my eyes to look at the window.
" You don't need to be embarrassed that I caught you staring, it is not your fault, you can't resist the handsomeness, no body can." He bragged.
I snorted, I was about to speak but was cut off by my bashed on window, it was a result of a car hitting the car we were in from the back with force, I should have buckle the seat belt.
I groaned silently in pain rubbing my forehead to sooth the pain.
" They finally reached us, can you drive ?" He asked me.
" Can I drive ? Well I have not driven a car before but I can try on one condition which is if we die by car accident don't blame me."
" If we die, how am I going to blame you ? We are already dead."
I shrugged, " Your spirit can."
He rolled his eyes.
A red Jeep bashed our car on the right and on the left a black one. Kelly stepped on the long pedal and  the car accelerate to the front escaping from them. They started shooting at our car.
" Can you shoot ?" He said giving me a gun.
" No," I said but still I collect the gun, " but I play games and watch movies, just like shooting water guns."
" NO! It is not like shooting a water gun, Kye. They are both different." He shouted.
" Well they look the same to me," I said, opened the door.
" What the hell are you doing ? " 
" Doing what I saw in a movie."
" What ?! Have you ever tried it ? No Kye don't even think of doing what you are thinking. Trust me you will get yourself killed, that is movie, this is reality."
" So...calm yourself down , there is always a saying that says that if you believe in yourself that you can do it, you will." I said.
" That saying is not for you in this situation," 
I ignored him, put my head out still sitting , I lowered the gun targeting the tyre of the car, cock the gun then shoot, I did the same to the other tyre. I have good aim.
I raised my head up and entered inside shutting the door, I watched from the rear mirror as the car swerve wrongly blocking the other car which was following us.
" What you did was..."
" Amazing," I said completing his statement but that was not what he wanted to say.
" No, stupid, dangerous. You could get killed, Kye. What were you thinking ?"
I rolled my eyes, " Well I didn't, I stopped them from following us. You can't even say thank you." I pouted folding my arms across my chest.
" Thank you ," he laughed. " I should say thank you for almost getting yourself killed," he said with a scoff. " Just handover the gun." His other hand which is not on the steering wheel, he stretched it towards gesturing for the gun to be placed on his hand.
I eyed his hand for a little while contemplating whether to give him or not, " what if I don't give you ?"
He turned his head to me sharply, " I'm not in mood for game, hand it over to me now." He said sternly.
I let out a hiss and place the gun on his hand.
" Thank you."
I rolled my eyes ignoring him and face front still pouting.
Suddenly the car stopped.
" What happened ?" I turned to him.
" Oh God why did I take a car that has little gas, now it has finish." He said placing his head on the wheel.
" You sure it has finish ?" 
He turned to look at me with his head still on the wheel, " No I'm not sure," he said with sarcasm in his tone, " check the fuel gauge and see if it is empty."
" I'm just asking," I said facing the window, " we should be going, we can think of what to do on the way."
" Yeah, you are right."
Immediately I stepped out, someone pointed a gun at me, it was like the person was waiting for me to come out.
I gasped in fright seeing the gun held by the muscular man who was standing in front of me.
He then drag my down and held my neck still pointing the gun at me, Kelly came down from the car.
" Hey boy, you have been a pain in my butt, give me the bracelet unless your friend die." He said in a threaten tone making me gulp in fear.
" Sir please let her go, she does not know what is happening, let her go please. Deal with me." Kelly said pleading.
" Do I care if she does it not ? Just hand over the bracelet and no one get hurts."
" Bracelet ? I thought it was an antidote Kelly." I said feeling confused on why the evil man was calling it a bracelet where as it is an  antidote. Or maybe that is the name .
" Well it is an antidote to cure my poverty," the man said laughing.
" I lied, I don't know you or trust you enough to tell why I'm being chased, I can't risk that, the scarlet bracelet cost a fortune, I'm sorry if it offend you."
" It is no a problem, everyone has their own secret to keep, I'm not angry not at all." I said with a smile.
He smiled.
" I'm not interested in listening to---" 
I cut him off by using the back of my leg to hit his d**k making him release his grip on him, I moved away from me snatching the gun from his hand since he is too vulnerable to do anything at that moment. I use the butt of the gun to punch him very hard on the face making him fall on the floor groaning in pain.
" Thanks for the motorcycle," Kelly said climbing on the bike I did not notice before. " Let's go. " He said to me.
I walked to the bike climb on it wrapping my hands on his waist not too tight but enough to make sure I don't fall, I think. Well it is my fist time of riding a motorcycle.
" Whisper your home address to me." He said, I did so then he zoom off.
~~~~~~~~~~~•
" Here take the gun, I don't want my parents asking me where I saw a gun." I said laughing giving him the gun I took from the man, he collected it.
" Thank you." He said with a smile.
" For ?" I quirked an eyebrow.
" Well for helping me, without you I won't have been able to shake those guys away from my trail. Now it will be easy to deliver it, thank you."
I leaned forward to him, and give him a grin. " So that means I'm awesome ?"
He laughed, " Yeah, you are awesome." He said with a smile, he lean forward and pecked me.
I totally did not expect that.
He wore his helmet but not without winking at me, he drive off leaving me stand in surprise.
I shaked my head with a smile bitting my bottom lip. 
When he has gone completely I turned walking towards to my door, pressed the doorbell.
The door opened and Dad came out, his eyes was puffy and red like he has been crying.
" Kylie ?" He asked trying to be sure of  who he is seeing.
" Kylie." He repeated after realizing that I'm the one standing.
He hugged me, I hug him back.
" I was damn worried something happened to you." He said still hugging me.
" I'm fine Dad."
" I can see that." He said, hugging me tightly.
I smiled and hug him back. He truly cares.
