She's safe now. C'mon Brian, you can leave her. She's safe.

I didn't know but when i saw the fear and the shock in her face a while ago, I could hardly command my body to leave her. I was stocked at the sight of her, trembling in so much fright. God, I came in time. Just in perfect time. That was close. If i was late for even a second, she should have been...No. No, she's not going to die. I won't let it.

I was in deep thought that i didn't notice I was inside the car for more than fifteen minutes, sitting there and staring in the air. When I became aware of the reality, I felt the cool air from the air con despite the sweat in my skin. I looked around. There was no one in the parking lot I was at. And oh, it's The Childer's parking lot. It was where she worked on Saturdays and Sundays. 8:00 to 7:00 pm. An unconscious grin fell in my lips. I rested my head on the head board of m seat and stared at the roof of the car.

"You put me in big trouble Trent." A chuckle. He did. That day, when he asked me to take his place in guiding her, I was half crazy. NO, of course I wasn't crazy. By the way, it was him who first saw the girl's fate. That she was to die at the age of seventeen. No clear description, but he said it was in a road accident. And now I saw it. I didn't know exactly where he met Ameylia. All I knew was that, he was so in love with her that he almost fell dead when he had the vision of her death. Trent was the hardest person to read,that was why I couldn't understand first why he had to stalk the girl and save her without her knowing when he could actually say it. But now, here I was, doing the same damn thing Trent did for almost a year and a half.

I looked in my wrist watch and found it was 10 minutes more to nine thirty. I pulled out the keys inside the pocket of my jacket and started the engine. She must be at home, wondering about that weird guy who just showed up on the road and saved her life from a definite death. I couldn't leave her. She had to be by my sight all the time. I had to be with her.
