The Black Widow

Sarah's point of view I've been running in the woods now for what seems to be hours. The darkness of nighttime is creeping through, the sound of dogs barking at me gets louder and I can hear them coming. They are coming after me... they will take me to him. I don't want to go back. I cant go back! And I wont! My thoughts get interrupted by the sound of a gun shot and am alerted, but before I can react. A sharp pain fills my leg and it spreads evenly. Oh no I've been shot! My heart beats faster and I start to sweat even more. My leg starts to numb but I must not stop running... I try to run but the pain is agonizing. I keep trying and I hear one of Talons goons mock "give it up sweet heart, you're coming with us", before laughing ever so annoyingly. I hiss at him and then I keep running, I look up and see some light... I think it's a car. Maybe I can ask someone for help. I keep running... more like limping. I run past one tree, then two... three... four... and I find myself on a dusty road in front of the car. Everything is happening so fast.. I get knocked off by the car... I land with a loud thud to the other side of the road and bump my head.. everything seems to be going dim.. before it goes completely dark I see Talon's goons turning around. Probably scared of being caught. Damn cowards and then suddenly everything fades away and all I see is black.... Xia's point of view I'm in South Africa right now... Not for leisure... am here for business. I plan on building one of my hotels here seeing that most people come here on tour. After a long meeting I just want to go back to my summer house here and have a cup of strong coffee. As am driving I turn on my phone to check if anyone left a voice mail while I was having the meeting with the investers. I see that I have 30 messages from Neisha. I groan before deleting all of them and I check the one from mom: "Hello Xia, I just wanted to check up on you. Your father wants to talk to you. Neisha's father told him you've been ignoring her and your father is not happy about it. Please call me when you can son, we need to talk about all this" I sigh after hearing this... "Why cant Neisha take a hint?" i mutter under my breathe. My dad wants me to get engaged to his business partner's daughter, Neisha. He thinks that way the wealth between our two families will be shared. Don't get me wrong, Neisha is fine and all but she is an annoying snob with the squickiest voice I have ever heard and am not willing to wake up to the sound of her voice lord! I rub my temples and shrug at the thought when boom. I hit into something, or rather someone. I quickly step on the brakes. Oh no, I shouldn't have gotten distracted whilst driving. I freeze for a moment... then I snap out of it and get out of the car. I hear twigs breaking in the woods and when I look I see people and dogs running away. I look at the person I just hit. I kneel in front of her. Thankfully she is still breathing. I immediately call a friend of mine, a South African doctor, and tell him to come to my house. I carry the girl... she's pretty light.. making my job easy. I put her in the car and then drive off. But questions pop into my head.. who are those people? Why did they run away instead of helping? Was this girl perhaps running away from them? If yes, what would make her run away from them. No Xia, no more distractions. time to focus on the road and just get home.
