Chapter 3 New companion

Ace's pov

I have tried to figure out where the sound was coming from but couldn't get exactly where . i walked around shouting "anybody there?!!". i couldn't hear the scream any more, But I was very sure someone was in danger.

i decided to go back home and change my outfit. I was walking back home when I saw a car. I opened the door and checked it. all I could find was some weed and alcohol and some snacks, I neither liked drinking nor smoking so I left them. I found the picture of a beautiful girl. I took it and kept it in my pocket.

I continued moving back to my house. I was getting closer to my house when I saw something lying on the floor close to the house, it looked like a human but i wasn't sure yet.

I increased my pace and went up to it. It was a human, A young woman. "who is she and how did she get here" i thought staring at her. she was trying to say something but I couldn't hear her.

I picked her up and took her inside,I laid her on my bed and she fell asleep. I checked her and it seems she had hit her head on something cause it was swollen and she was also bleeding.

I stared at her and realised she was the girl in the pics I picked up from the car earlier.

"what am I supposed to do now?" I asked myself." maybe I should go over to Mr Derek's place he should have something useful.

I took one more look at her and then went out, closed the door and started heading to Mr Derek's place.

i came across the car again. "This is definitely her car" I thought as I stared at the magnificent beauty. it was a Mercedes Benz G class. "How could she afford this?" I thought.

"she is definitely from a rich family or gets paid well where she works "i said to myself. "I better go get her something to relieve her pain as soon as possible" I thought and continued heading to Mr Derek place.

This is my first time going there and i really hoped its not far from here.I followed Mr Derek instructions by just following the muddy road.

I walked for about five minutes but all I could see was trees and an endless road,I was tired but still continued anyways.

I walked for three minutes more and saw a house surrounded by wooden fence. I opened the small wooden gate and went in, I went to the house entrance and knocked.

"Mr Derek " i said and knocked on the door. "anyone here" I asked as I continued knocking.

The door opened and a young boy came out, "is Mr Derek in" I asked and he turned back and yelled "grandpa someone is here to see you!!".

"Wait here", The boy said and slammed the door. Mr Derek soon came out. "Nice to see you Mr Ace how can I be of help?", he asked and stretched his hand out for a handshake.

we shook hands and he sat on a steel chair. "Do you have any drugs I could use, I feel weak and weary" I lied.

"sure I have some drugs you could use " he said and went back in. He came out and handed me some drugs.

I turned to leave but he called me back, " Mr Ace are you sure that's all you need?" he asked and I nodded yes.

"But I could use some ice if only you had some" I said, "well luckily we do have some" he said and went back in,he came out and handed me some ice in a white bag.

I took them and quickly made my way back to my place .

I got home and I entered and went up to her,I placed the ice bag on her head and she opened her eyes a little bit, she looked beautiful just lying there I was holding the ice to her swollen head.

She opened her eyes and stared at me weirdly. I stopped what I was doing and sat back.

she sat up slowly. "are you ok" i asked and she just stared at me. "you need to take some pills" I said and handed her some drugs and water. she took the pills and took them drinking some water.

"who are you ?" "why are you here ?" "are you here alone?" I asked her many questions at once but didn't get any reply.

"sorry my bad, you should relax a bit" I said and stood up to go out. "Thanks", she said with a low voice. I looked at her as she lay back and closed her eyes to get some sleep.

I went out of the house and started going back to her car I went in and tried to start it but it didn't work, I think its the battery.

I came out of the car and opened the bonnet. I checked the batteries and one of the wire was disconnected. I connected it back and just like that the car started and I drove it and parked it somewhere safer.

I have spent up to twenty minutes outside and I think she should have rest enough by then.

I went back in and found her sitting on the bed staring at the house. "who are you and why are you here?" I asked.

"Am hungry can you please get my snacks for me in my car?" she said ignoring my questions.

"Sure" I said and went back to her car and got her the snacks, she ate them slowly and was staring at me.

"Have you seen my friends" she asked. "friends?" "so you are not here alone" i asked. "yes,am here with three of my friends. we were chased by a wolf when we scampered into different directions.

"I ran until I tripped and fell and was unconscious, I have to find my friends and get out if this place as soon as possible" she said and continued eating.

"who is this girl" I thought in my mind.
