MIRAGE 'N' MANIA MIRAGE-4

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

(confusedly looked at him with her puffy wet eyes)

Eʟɪsᴇᴏ Dᴇ Lᴇᴏɴ

Also, there is one condition, I will give you 10 minutes to think and prepare the answer to my question, but it's up to me... If I didn't find your answer genuine and worthy I will straight away shoot you. (tell her while making a deep eye contact with her)

Sariah gulped hard and immediately started to prepare what she should answer him but all this time the fear, the stress of what if he didn't find it worthy? didn't let her prepare any answer and at last when only two minutes left she looked straight at the sky and thought as deeply as she could.

The 10 minutes got over, and he finally walked toward her and stood in front of her.

Eʟɪsᴇᴏ Dᴇ Lᴇᴏɴ

(reloads his gun and waits for her to speak while directly looking at her fearless turned eyes)

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

I...(looks down for the last time and starts speaking again)

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

If I told you that I want to live because I'm a surgeon and I want to save as many lives as I can, it would be half dishonesty. If I told you I want to live because I have a brother I love so much again it wouldn't be a completely honest answer. So, (gulps harder while taking a long breath)

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

If this would be my last time and I don't care if you will find this answer worthy or not I'll be brutally honest. (tells him in a slightly wailing tone)

Eʟɪsᴇᴏ Dᴇ Lᴇᴏɴ

(listens to her with full attention while being completely expressionless)

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

I want to live because I WANT TO!!!! Isn't it what we are supposed to do in this world in this life... Like everyone else... Even if this sounds selfish or whatever to you... I want to live for myself, I would love to die naturally but not here with your hands because Nobody gave you the authority to decide who will live and who won't. (says loudly in a slightly shivering wailing tone)

Sariah poured out every single word that came onto her tongue palette at that time and stopped while closing her eyes as she knew her answer wasn't something he would like at all instead it could make him angry.

She was waiting for him to shoot her with her closed eyes because she already made up her mind that death comes to every human either sooner or later. So, This is her time today.

Soon after when she was waiting to be dead by a sharp bullet, She heard the loud sound of a bullet escaping the gun.She flinched badly but opened her eyes when she realised she hadn't been shot and found a man tall enough and muscular lying on the ground dead instead.

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

(brings her hand towards her mouth and covers her mouth shockingly)

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

Who...who's he? (asks him with a stuttering tone)

Eʟɪsᴇᴏ Dᴇ Lᴇᴏɴ

We don't have time for QnA, Let's quickly get out of this place otherwise, you will be graved here, Doctor. (warns her in a dense tone while holding her hand and looking into her fearful eyes)

She opened her mouth slightly to ask even when he warned her but before that, he dragged her to run with him while holding her hand tightly.

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

(runs with him while looking at his rough hand's strong grip over her fragile hand)

She was bewildered by his sudden action of saving her, and not killing her all this time they were running through the dense forest in the dark. He didn't let go of her hand for a second and she entrusted her safety to him even when she knew he was a damn killer!

They ran for continuous 3 hours and by this time Sariah was so exhausted completely that she stopped at a point breathing heavily which made Eliseo stop as well.

Eʟɪsᴇᴏ Dᴇ Lᴇᴏɴ

We can't stop here.......

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

I…(huffs badly)… If I run anymore my legs will break.

Eʟɪsᴇᴏ Dᴇ Lᴇᴏɴ

You... (stops and hears the sound of footsteps coming from their back at some distance)

Eliseo knew these were the big boss's men finding them, especially Sariah, so he grabbed her hand and made her run again but in the process, Sariah's leg got sprained, and she fell at her place.

Eʟɪsᴇᴏ Dᴇ Lᴇᴏɴ

Get up you can't rest any more here. (warns her in a low cold tone)

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

Damn, I sprained my leg, so I couldn't walk. (screeches slowly in pain)

Eʟɪsᴇᴏ Dᴇ Lᴇᴏɴ

F<ck!!!

Eliseo knew if they remained there for any more time they would get caught so without thinking twice he smoothly carried her on his back and told her to hold tightly as he with her on his back started running.

She appeared like a light feather to him in front of his build. Sariah also couldn't believe how he even managed to run so fast without getting tipped with her on his back as well.

After running for another one and a half hours, Sariah found they were out of the forest and on the road which made her feel victorious that she was overwhelmed by the thought that she was out of that forest forgetting she was still on a killer's back with a sprained leg and as result she unintentionally wrapped her arms around him more tightly making it like a hug from the back.

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

We crossed it!!!!!! (shouts in his ear)

Eʟɪsᴇᴏ Dᴇ Lᴇᴏɴ

You are choking me. (says in a gagging tone)

She didn't hear his gagging tone and kept repeating the same line again and again so as a result he dropped her from his back.

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

Ahh!! (moans painfully while holding her leg and angrily looking at him)

Eʟɪsᴇᴏ Dᴇ Lᴇᴏɴ

I won't ever carry you on my back and from here you will walk by yourself. (tells her in a serious cold tone)

Immediately after telling her, He started to walk forward leaving her on the road without even looking back at her once.

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

He is so mean.

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

He's not a caps lock MAN.

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

He is just a tall tree with no leaves to provide a shed.

While she was muttering everything bad for him forgetting she was alone on the road in the dark in an unknown place, She heard a loud noise of animals from the side dark tress which made her eyes widen, and she tried to stand up somehow and started taking lame steps cursing him all the way.

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

I wish his leg gets sprained so badly when he has to go poop. (curses beneath her breath while lamely walking on the empty road and looking here and there fearfully)

She kept walking like this getting energy from cursing him along with praying to god to not let her meet any bad person or animal at this moment that's when she was alerted by heavy footsteps and noise coming from her back.

Whom do you think it could be?
