3 Way Home

I found a fully functioning looking cab on my way out of the 'Police station'

When I got in there were two passengers. A beautiful lady next to the driver, and a young man in full black clothing in the back seat. I was thinking "Is this a private cab?!"

"Where are you off to miss?" "Sir?! U-um to Charleston Green St." I sat at the back next to the young man, I suddenly struck by my embarrassment, "Oh no, this is bad I'm sitting here without underwear next to a guy. If they found out they might think of me like a slut." I tightly closed my legs and look at the window to avoid contact. The lady look at me and smiled. She was like a goddess smiling so I smiled back. I look at the window the city is still the same, but lesser[none/no] people than I expect.

After twenty-three minutes of driving, we finally reach the bridge which is the end is my stop, but I notice an intersection that wasn't there before. I looked ahead and the bridge is gone? And the cab turns. "Oh God no. This intersection, this place was not here before!" I was anxious that I will get lost again and saw the sign. "Charleston Green St." "What?! W-what is going on? This isn't my home town!" I look at the other window to see there was no town nor land on the other side. My head hurts to the fact that I am lost, homeless, and nowhere to return to nor someone depend to.

I gave in to the fact and leaned my head at the window, thinking, "What now. Am I lost forever? Am I going crazy? Am I delusional? Ugh, I want to go home."

After a while I notice that the houses are not the same as the city design, all of them are huge and grand "Huh, this must be for the rich people" then the lady went off, "please be careful, and. DON'T TRUST ANYONE." Then smiled at me and left. "Well, that was off. What was that about?"

The driver continues to drive and I was left with the young man. We pass this house that was slightly familiar to me and looking back at it. It was like I've seen it before. Then the guy glances at me. I sit back and remember the thing. "Well, this is awkward." I was about to get my phone to break the ice but I forgot that it was taken away. "Could this get any worse?!"

The car then suddenly broke down. "Wha-- This looks like a brand new one! How?" The young man frown. "I'm sorry but the car cannot function at any time." the driver said looking a bit discouraged. The young man got off, paid his wage, and left "Are you waiting young lady?" "Yes, I don't know this road so I might just wait." I smiled and thought "Ah, I spoke too soon and jinx it" I wait in the car and the driver looks at the problem. I got this feeling that things would end up bad so I went out. "Um, mister what are you doing?" When I got out, he was holding an ax and pointing it at me. "What a lovely girl you are, just like my daughter. But sadly she wasn't born with hair, like you." "W-what are you going to do with that ax?" "My daughter is smart, I was mistaken. You what do you think am I going to do with this ax?" I was terrified so I ran, he grabs my hair and--

BANG! I heard that gunshot again. I remember that officer and I turn to see the driver, same with a bullet in the head. I was frozen, it happened again, I was almost killed but the killer was killed with a shot on the head. I could move, I want to run but I can't.

Then a man in a mask appeared, he is all in black. He checks the driver and is still alive so he shot him again, four times. He walks towards me. I want to run but my feet are trembling, I couldn't move an inch.

He sat down in front of me with a cold look. He removes his mask. "The guy sitting next to me?!" He offered his hand "Come! Let's get going." I was scared. "Don't look at the deadman! Get on your feet and let's go." "W-why did you killed him?! Are you a killer, perhaps?" "Did the gunshot ring on your head so much that made you nuts, or are you an idiot?" "Huh?" "Wipe that shocked look of yours, that man could've killed you, on the spot. I saved your life. So let's go, or you want to get killed." He points the gun at me. I was uncertain, but he did save me so I went with him unwillingly. I have so many things inside my head, He's right I think I'm going nuts from all this.

"Where are we going?" "To my place." My feet are still trembling so he holds my hands "Hurry I don't want to be chased by psychopaths around here." "Is that why he was agitated to leave, but PSYCHOPATHS?! I don't know anymore. I can't think." He looks at me "Don't think about what happened, just forget about it. Those people are not worth it in committing in your memories." I wanted and tried to forget but it just pops up in my head.

I look at him. "He is a killer, after all, he killed a man in front of me and his eyes tell me that he's a pro at this He did not even have second thoughts about shooting a man in the head, so he should not be trusted. What if he is just like the man in the store or like the officer, but I come this far there is no turning back, if I turn back it will lead me to death for he said that there are some psychopaths around here. So safe way to do this is to follow this guy. I mean I want to go home alive after all. I have things That I haven't finished yet."
