Chapter 9 - Come with Me
ACE KIEN FIERA
Long until I heard...
*Crash*
*Crash*
What the hell was that?
Although she told me not to open my eyes, I opened them and hurriedly went out of the car when I saw that she wasn't in her seat. Fear started to creep in inside me. I ran towards the people making those noises even though I still did not know whether she is there.
I managed to find them. Yet, when I finally got there, I was surprised to see her fight those men again. However now, their numbers have increased, and SHIT!
"Aviana-" I was about to run towards her because she was about to be stabbed but why do I feel like I'm the one who is stabbed?
I looked to see if I am right and a guy is grinning behind me. But my eyes widened when a knife flew towards this guy's head. I literally froze as I saw how his blood came out and fall from his head. But my senses noticed something sting and I touched where that part is...
"B-blood?" I whispered surprised. I looked at her and she quickly snatches the knife from the guy beside her. The next thing I know is that I'm on the ground and I'm looking at her while she kills those people one by one.
She's killing them...
Don't kill them Aviana. You'll be imprisoned because of this.
"A-Ace?" She called when all of them were finally lying on the ground… lifeless and bathing in their own blood. I felt her hands go into my head and put it on her lap.
I wanted to talk but no words are coming out of my mouth. I hopelessly closed my eyes for a second then open them again. I looked at her and touched her face. I don't know why I'm smiling but a tear escaped from the corners of her eyes.
"H-hey," I called but she just burst into tears even more.
"H-how did you know my name?" I asked happily. I don't know but she is a person that doesn't care about someone.
So how did she know my name?
I also thought that I didn't tell her.
She is always asleep in class.
So how?
"Sorry." That's the only thing I heard from her and my surroundings turned into darkness. I want to wake up beside you if that's even possible.

I woke up in the hospital bed with my parents looking worried. I looked around but that just made me dizzy. My head hurts and where I was stabbed too. I looked around again and tried to find the person whom I wanted to see when I woke up, but she was not there. Then, I suddenly felt my wound sting which made me close my eyes. It still hurts. I heard them tell a nurse to call a doctor and so, he ran to leave the room.
"Mom?" I called. She immediately came near me. She is trembling when she held my hand. Her hands were cold. She looks worried and afraid.
"Thank God you are finally awake. It's been 2 days Ace." She said and cried. I looked around for the third time, but she is not there.
"The doctors said that you were stabbed. I'm so worried." She said pressing my hands tightly.
"How did I get here?" I asked.
"A nurse saw you outside the hospital," Dad said and put his phone in his pocket.
"Where is Aviana?" I asked worriedly.
"Aviana?" Someone said and shut the door.
"So, she is the reason why you were about to die. She really is something huh?" She furiously asked as she put down the tray in her hands.
"Who is that, Ava?" Dad asked then she glared at me.
"She is a girl known for killing guys and such. She should not be near him. Look at his state! He was about to die because of her." She protested.
"Is that true Ace?" Father asked.
"N-" but I was cut by Ava.
"Don't you dare say she's not?" She stated. I had no choice but to stay silent. I can't deny it because it's true. However, it's not right for Ava to say those things about her.
"No," I stated boldly.
"Oh, really?" Ava sarcastically answered.
"You will not see that girl ever again!" Dad surprisingly shouted then came near me. I didn't talk anymore and stayed shut.
Damn it, Aviana!
I knew that this day would come but I didn't expect that I won't say anything against what Ava is saying about you. I can't believe myself but all you ever did was to protect me, that's all.
"Once you get better. We will be flying next week to Europe." I heard from Dad. I looked at him but he just stared at me coldly. I didn't even notice that it was already time for us to go to Europe.
What about her?
What's going to happen to her?
After the talk and things, they got out of the room for me to take a rest. I breathed heavily as I remember what happened that night.
Did she kill them?
I saw how she brutally stab each and one of those men like she was possessed by a devil or something. Yet, a minute later, I heard my phone ring which was on the table right next to me. I reached for it and it was an unrecognized number.
"Hello?" I asked.
"How are you?" A girl's voice answered and it sounds like it just finished from crying.
"Aviana?" I asked worriedly.
"Yes." She said thankfully. Just as I thought, it was her.
"Where are you?" I asked. She just stopped crying what if something happened to her?
"Outside" She simply replied and when I looked under the closed door there is a person's shadow. I immediately remove the blanket from my body and was about to get out of bed but...
"Don't go outside. I can hear you moving." She said on the other line.
"But..." I protested.
"If you do that, I'll take you away from here." She stated. It made me stop. I then recalled how she killed those men. She killed someone but she did that because of me. I once again looked at the door. I want that Aviana. I want you to take me away. Aviana please let's get away from this place. I struggled a bit but I proceed to get out of the hospital bed and went towards the door holding onto my wound.
When I opened the door, I saw her again. Her arms were covered in bruises, her face is pale and her eyes were entirely swollen maybe… because of crying.
What happened to her?
I pulled her and hugged her tightly.
"I know that you will be in this state and if that happens, they will take you away." She said as she escapes from my embrace and then holds my face.
"I don't want that." She paused and kissed me.
"So, come with me… far away from all of them" She then whispered in my ears.
