She Was Still Running

She had to run ... And she was still running ... It was dark before his eyes. And she wanted to get lost in the darkness ...Suddenly another voice echoed - And this time. The bullet hit her leg.

She was immediately confused - It had become impossible for him to handle herself. And then she felt ...She was falling on the right. But she wasn't falling. That was a ditch ...And she felt herself falling into the ditch.

Suddenly, all scenes vanished there was no fireman and no girl. Emmy was too astonished she can't bear this horror she fell on the floor. And in the living room and there was also no man no woman and no girl. Emmy was too astonished she can't bear this horror she fell on the floor.

My eyes were opened with a shock. I felt ... my existence was soaked with sweat. I was staring at the ceiling. Where there was a chandelier ... But I wasn't looking at the chandelier ...The same scene was still going on in front of my eyes. That room ... Fire ... Two bullets... And Mama Papa...

My lips did move ..." Mama ... I tried to get up, saying "Papa." I saw her right arm ... Where the strip was ... But I wasn't feeling any pain there.

But that's ... All of a sudden, I was ... I looked at her sides...

With this thought, there was a wave of fear in me being...

"Is... Is there anyone? "Said in a panicked voice ... But there was only silence on all sides –I was looking at the door. What was the other side? Has anyone had or not? I had no idea at all.

"Someone ...?" I called again. This time the sound was a little louder -Suddenly my gaze was on the wall clock above the window. I saw... It was five o'clock at that time ...'' anybody here? "It was a while ago that I called another time -

This time my voice was louder than before. I heard the sound of sharp steps outside the room. She was gone now. Who will go here??

I checked everywhere but I found no one I also checked outside but nobody was there. I was in a trance about how it is possible to firemen girls I saw them in reality or in dreams.

What happened with me please God protect me from every evil. I went to my bedroom and try to sleep it is difficult but I did unluckily there was no other way. I set my alarm for the office. Suddenly, James appeared in my mind with a smiling face. O, God what is this? Insane…

I got up pretty quickly and took a long and relaxing shower. After showering, I put on some clothes which included a white full-sleeved blouse and a black pencil skirt with a pair of black heels. I wore the locket that their mother gave me.

Thinking about Mother brought tears to my eyes but I hold them back reminding myself what my mother told me.

"You are a strong girl, Emmy"

I shook away all the thoughts and wiped off the tears from my face while pecking the little locket. I did my makeup and pulled up my hair in a bun. I wore my heels, took my bag and went downstairs.

I entered the building quickly while giving myself a quick prep talk about how not to be nervous and not mess up anything.

"Emmy, Hey" Ellie greeted.

"Hi" I greeted back smiling

"Well, good luck with your day," Ellie said.

"Thank you, I really needed that," I said "OH, it's no biggie. Well see you at lunch" Ellie said.

"Okay," Emmy said while walking towards the elevator and entering it. There were about 7 to 8 people in the elevator but I didn't bother about talking or saying a Hey to anyone. The elevator arrived on the 16th floor and I walked out. I walked towards Mr. James's office and knocked on the door lightly.

"Come in" his voice came and I entered the office." Good Morning, sir" she greeted

"Morning," He said while glancing towards her.

I walked towards his desk. He grabbed his coffee and stood up. He then walked towards me and said "Follow me" He said and walked out of the office with me following after him. They went towards the corner of the floor where a desk was placed with a plain black chair and a computer.

"This is where you'll work," Mr. James said.

"Okay" I replied while walking around the desk so I could see him as the desk was placed between them.

"Open the drawer," He said and I opened it only to find an iPhone 12. I took out the box.

"This is your phone, It has my number along with all the important numbers of all the dealers and businessmen who are associated with me." He said.

"Okay, sir," I said and Mr. James walked away.

I couldn't be any happier that I got a new phone. I always wanted an iPhone but I didn't get enough money.

There were some files on the desk which I needed to check if there was any mistake as his previous assistant left them. I started working on them.

After about two hours I was done with all the files. I went towards James's office and knocked on the door which he replied with the usual 'come in'.

"These files are done," I said once I entered the office.

"Drop them here" he pointed towards his desk and I obeyed

"You can go and enjoy your lunch now, Miss Emmy," He said and Emmy nodded while walking out.

I was a little disappointed that he didn't even say a 'thank you I freaking spent two hours over it. I shook my head and entered the elevator while pressing number 7 which I found out was the lunch floor.

I walked out of the elevator and saw that the whole floor was filled with tables and chairs and right in front of me was a canteen.
