My Cat, My Bodyguard

Adeline's POV

''Cay! WHAT THE HELL!!''

''Have you lost your mind?! WE COULD GET ARRESTED!!''

Though the voices are coming from around me, I find it hard to understand what's going on.

I'm currently blinking at the back of the driver's seat. My brain is still foggy and the entire situation feels surreal.

I'm in the van.

I'm actually in the black van.

Was I just... kidnapped?

WHAT. THE. HELL.

My brain which had been asleep suddenly snaps back into attention. I turn and try to take in my surroundings. On my left are 2 guys, none of whom I know, all staring at me wide eyed. Funny enough, they all look shocked to see me in the van while I'm shocked simply being in the van. Lucy who's still in my arms is the only one who doesn't look shocked. As I turn my eyes to Lucy, I realised something very strange. I wasn't sitting on the car seat, I was sitting on someone's lap. I turn back in bigger shock to stare at the stranger... and he's smirking.

I start screaming immediately. As I scream I fling Lucy, who's now alarmed, onto the guy on my extreme left. And of course, trust Lucy to draw out her claws immediately she lands on him. She then proceeds to do battle with his face. Probably to the death, going by the way he's screaming. The others beside me try to help their friend (who by the way is completely losing the fight). Lucy would totally make it as an MMA Fighter.

I try to take advantage of the situation and just then all the action movies I'd ever seen start to replay in my head and my body immediately acts it out. I turn to the guy I'm on, grab a huge chunk of his hair and pull with all my might. He screeches and tries to throw me off but I hang on to his hair like it's a lifeline. Someone tries to interfere and for his trouble, he gets a kick to the groin.

The war going in the back must have started confusing the driver because the car was now swerving uncontrollably. That was what I thought until I caught sight of Lucy on the dashboard. I have no idea how she got there but I do know that I've never been so proud, she's basically my impromptu bodyguard.

The car is completely in chaos by now. The guys in front are trying and failing to get her down. Her victim at the back is still yelling and I'm definitely still pulling on my captive's hair. I'm so hopeful now that I can actually escape from here when I hear a loud growl. It came from none other than the person whose hair I'm pulling on.

He stares me straight in the eyes. And even in my situation, I can't help but study his eyes. They're the strangest colour, not brown, not orange just somewhere in between.

''I've had enough.'' he says while staring at me.

I'm thinking how odd it is that I'm not scared. That's the last thought I have before he reaches out and presses a pressure point, plunging me into darkness.

A/N: So far Lucy just might be my favorite character.

Lots of love ,

Nessa.
