Hello and welcome to a new
Thursday Taster,
the day when awesome writers all over the blogosphere come together to
give you tasty bits of their last fiction. You can find the list
here.
I remembered that we
almost missed it the first time. The time table showed that the bus
was supposed to arrived a few minutes earlier. It wasn't there and I
tried to consider a new plan if we really had miss it. We couldn't
stay here exposed. I couldn't take my eyes away from the car on the
other side of the road. They were going to come for us soon enough. I
needed a new plan and quickly.
"The bus!" Amy
said grabbing my arm.
She seemed happy or
relieved but I wasn't, not yet. I was half expecting the guys to rush
out of the street and come at us before we were on board.
The light of the bus
attracted the attention of the people in the car and their light
turned on too, coming in ur direction. The bus stopped in front of us
and Amy climbed first. I followed her waiting to figure out if the
doors were going to close before anyone from her group of friend was
able to get it. We walked to the back, there was noone else in the
bus except an old woman with a winter coat that she was hugging as if
she was cold. I was once again surprised that anyone could be cold, I
was feeling feverish.
The door closed after
what seemed to be an eternity and we crossed the car. I could see
that Jimmy was the driver but I didn't linger to look at him. I
finally took a breath out when the bus finally drove away.
"Where is this bus
going?" Amy asked.
"No idea, anywhere
is better than here."
Amy started to laugh as I
closed my eyes and leaned on the back seat as if it was my savior. In
a way, it was.
"Thank you for
getting us out of here," Amy said.
"You're welcome."
I answered looking at the
houses passing in front of me through the window.
This was a dredged part
of town, there was no light what-so-ever. I realised that we had been
running in semi-darkness all along and I didn't even notice earlier,
it had been so luminous to me, I knew exactly where to go.
