WHO AM I(PART TWO)

Russell kept staring at her, thinking.

"That's a lot of questions, which one do you want me to answer first?' *Wow, what a beauty* He thought.

"I don't mind answering any questions you have.' She replied.

Russell exhaled a sigh. "I've already introduced myself. So, what's your name?' he inquired.

"My name is Mia,' she said as she rose from the floor, dusting her clothes with her hands. Russell didn't know how long he stared before Mia noticed something. "Why are there holes in your shoes?' she asked, pointing to his shoes. Russell looked down and remembered why he was running, fangs protruding from his foot, and what he was supposed to do or explain to her. He quickly brushed aside the subject and said. 'Does it matter, beats me?' he shrugged, and Mia unintentionally marked her arm close to a nail, injuring her and causing blood to flow down her arms. Russell felt a sharp pain on his arm at the same time, and when he looked at it. It was the same injury that had occurred on Mia's arm. What exactly was going on here? What is going on? They were both staring at each other.

"How did you get ...that,' Mia pointed at Russell's arm with her finger. "I don't know...' he pointed at his arm too and kept staring at it. "Come on, this is insane. You must have marked your own arm, why did you have to do that to yourself,' Mia retorted. "What!!! Why will I do that to myself and besides I hate pain.' Russell pouted.

"I don't know if you hate pain, but this ...this is so strange...'

"Have you ever noticed that the color of your eyes changes?' He just blurted it out. He had to be certain of what was going on here. He must be sounding really stupid right now, because he has never told anyone who he was or what he is, and he doesn't even know who he is. He sometimes feels as if there is nothing inside him, as if he is an empty vessel. "What are you talking about, I see you watch a lot of movies.' Mia said as she folded her arms across her chest. She has zero faith in this guy. But he's so nice and hot, and he's just her type. That's why she finds it difficult to talk to him properly, and she has to force herself to do so. Mia kept staring at Russell's arm injury. Right, this could be a coincidence. She examined him from head to toe. This young man is odd. He is attractive and appears to be friendly. He is not suspicious; after all, he came to save them; who was he, or was he one of her father's spies? No, he's not. She's never seen anyone like him before, and he doesn't look like an assassin or anything. Maybe he was just a bystander who didn't know who she was. How did he know where they were, and what did he mean when he said "where did they get the strength to shout?" Those words were suspicious, come to think of it. She needs to get out of here as soon as possible. She is aware that her father will be looking for her by now, and that her mother, in particular, will be so worried.

"Sorry, forget I said anything,' Russell said nervously, reminding himself to always keep his mouth shut. "So, where do you stay?'' He decided to quickly take her to where she stays and go home as well. He can imagine his father scolding him and telling him to stay in his room for a few days and think about what he has done, which is boring and he doesn't even learn anything, or he learns something but only when he puts his mind to it.

"You are not required to transport me to my residence. I know where I'm going,' she scoffed as she emerged from the shadows; they had locked her up before Russell came to her rescue. Of course, she knows where she's going. She doesn't trust him in the least, and she doesn't want to be duped again by falling into another trap. The last time she tried to flee, she saw a car with the words *TAXI* written on it, unknowing to her that it was one of the kidnappers. She entered and relaxed, only to open her eyes and see a gun pointed to her face, and the car reversed and returned to where she had fled. They were so cruel to her that day and beat her up mercilessly. The sun was shining brightly into her eyes, as soon as she came out with Russell and it hurt so much. It had been a long time since she had come outside like this, and it was refreshing.

"Isn't it cool?' Russell exclaimed, and then abruptly, three black SUVs appeared out of nowhere and surrounded them. Many bodyguards descended from the SUVs, and some of them bowed their heads in front of Mia. "We're sorry, Mrs Mia, we're late,' one of the bodyguards apologized. Mia ignored them and ran to her father, who ran to her as well, and they both hugged tightly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry.' Mr Collins kept apologizing, saying he saw the state his daughter is in. He drew away from her and inquired.

"Mia, I hope they didn't sleep with you or anything.' "No, they did not have sex with me, father. They only beat me up and starve me, and I'm okay father,' Mia replied with a nod. Collins almost burst into tears as he hugged his daughter once more. He has been missing his daughter for months, attempting various methods to locate her but to no avail. He has done everything he can to find her; his wife has cried almost every night, pleading with their daughter and the people who kidnapped her to let her go. Collins' life was also difficult; he was troubled every day and could only hope that his daughter survived. She is a strong young lady because he knows this. Mia is his only child, and he nearly lost her. Who had the audacity to do this to his family, who dared to take what was important to him and even have the balls to touch it? He was going to look after that person and make sure he dealt with them. Collins was well aware that he had many enemies as a result of what he had done in the past, and that he had betrayed many people. And if they're going to hurt someone, it should be him, not his family. "I love you, my daughter,' he said as he hugged her once more.

"I love you as well, father.' Mia murmured in his shoulder as she hugged him once more.

"Ummm...I hope, I'm not interrupting anything and I gotta go now, so bye,' Russell nervously said and he was about to take a step when Collins roared. "Where do you think you're going,' he glared at Russell.

"You were one of the people that kidnapped my daughter, now let me...'

"Dad, he's not among those people.' Mia defended, holding his arm.

"What!!!!

"I don't know who he is. But he saved us,' Mia elaborated. "Really.' Collins asked and kept staring at Russell's. *Why do they have the same eyes, he's just like his daughter, when he's staring at me* Russell thought.

"Yes, father?' Mia nodded. "Who are you,' Collins asked and kept looking at Russell. Then, all of a sudden, two more SUVs approached them and stopped. When the car door opened, Richard, Irene, Stormi, and Lee emerged. Richard was the first to smack Russell's head as they all walked towards where they were standing. "Ouch! 'What was that for?' Russell grumbled, Stormi burst out laughing, Lee just smiled, and Irene just frowned and turned her face away. Richard almost yelled, "How could you run away like that, did you know how worried I was?' "Disappearing like that," Lee continued to laugh. "And your shoes are ripped. What happened to it?' Stormi asked, pointing with her finger. "That was just...' Collins interrupted and cleared his throat to inform them that he was also present and that they were not the only ones present. "My name is Collins, and you are..." Collins took a breather and removed his glasses. "You're Richard right, from the Sky company," Collins exclaimed.

"What a coincidence?" he exclaimed. "Wow! I had no idea you'd be here, Mr Collins.' They both smiled and hugged each other.

"It's so nice to meet you, I've always wanted to meet you and do some business with you," Richard exclaimed happily, and Collins laughed along with him. "Me, too. I've always wanted to meet you, but your schedule isn't always open. So I was hoping to set up a time to talk with you about some issues. So, how about we go somewhere private and talk about it?' Collins laughed, and they began talking about it and got carried away with their discussions. "Who is she,' Lee whispered to Russell.

"She's the girl, I saved from those kidnappers,' Russell said with pride. Well, he did save her, but not, when the kidnappers were around. "She's pretty,' Stormi said and gave a cute smile. "Wow! What's her name.' Lee asked.

"Mia, her name is Mia.' He replied.

"Nice name?' Lee said and folded his hands across his chest.

"Where does she stay,' Stormi asked happily. "I want to visit her at her house?' She said.

"How will I know, go ask her by yourself,' Russell shrugged his shoulders. "Huh! I'm asking you, you were the one that saved her,' Stormi said.

"I saved her, doesn't mean I know where she lives or what...'

"How old is she?' Stormi cut in and asked.
