Her Vampire Mate

CHAPTER 2 The Accident

I was kept on running for an hour since I sneak out of the packhouse in the fear that they will see me and catch me again and most probably kill me this time even before my eighteen birthday.

“Where should I go and how will I manage myself all alone outside the pack house? There is nobody who can support me I don’t even have a mobile phone.”

It must be sound strange to any normal person, that a young girl like me doesn’t even have a mobile phone to use, but my foster parents didn’t even let me eat three-time meals properly, why they will buy me a mobile phone.

Thank god I am not penniless. Aunt Diana always sends me out for grocery shopping or many times to buy her personal stuff but she was always so full of herself that never bother to check about money, like this slowly in saved few thousand dollars.

This is not enough for me, but for now, I have to manage and soon look for a job for me and resume my studies.

I have completed high school last year and wanted to go to college but aunt Diana didn’t let me study further. She even doesn’t want me to study at all since I am with her, but my pleadings affected uncle John, and he enrolled me in human school.

Oh, yes, just now I recall at the mention of high school that my high school friend and my only friend in life Ashley moved to New Orleans from Ketchikan.

She many times said that New Orleans is an exquisite city and many more things about it. Should I go there, at least I know someone in New Orleans city?

That’s decided then I will call Ashley the next morning and plan my travel to New Orleans, but first I need to get out of Ketchikan as fast as I can.

I still carefully kept the paper Ashley wrote her number on the last day of our high school because everybody was sharing their mobile number but I didn’t have a mobile phone so Ashley wrote her number for me on a paper.

Though Ashley is a daughter of a rich man she is the only rich girl I have seen who is a down-to-earth personality than many other classmates of ours who always look down on me. Nobody ever approaches me, neither do I, being an introvert.

In fact, they shrink their nose with the sight of mine, between all this first time Ashley approached me, for several days I was in a daze that why such a smart, rich, and beautiful girl is trying to talk to me, a trash bin per our classmates and in fear that she will also bully me like others I didn’t respond to her but she didn’t leave me alone and keep on pestering me in order to be my friend.

Her constant and genuine approach compels me to down my guards and then we become good friends and perhaps she is the only person I know who genuinely cares for me.

“Ahh, I am very tired and I guess I am already outskirts of the Ketchikan,” I mumble to myself.

I am running for a long to drive myself away from my so-called foster family and pack as fast as I can. I vow I will let nobody knows my true identity as a werewolf and live a normal life like a human.

“Ahh, what was that?”

I was almost very near to the border of Juneau when something caught my attention. It’s looking like a car accident.

It scared me to the core. Still, with a fast-beating heart, I looked inside and found two people inside one is on the driving seat looking like a driver severely injured and another person is on the back seat. He is looking like a master in a business suit.

They are helpless in the secluded place, I shouldn’t leave them alone like this. I should help them.

“Hmm, but they need medical help. How do I do that alone with no help? I can’t even call an ambulance without a mobile phone.”

Oh, yes, he is a rich man, he must have a mobile with him.

Phew, they are so heavy. I pulled both driver and his master out of the car with great difficulty and searched for the mobile the driver is severely injured and his mobile also broken and rich man’s mobile is in his pocket.

At least it’s in working condition. After contacting the ambulance for an emergency, I started waiting for them.

“Excuse me, young miss, you need to follow us.”

What? Why these people want me to follow them. I being a responsible citizen saved them and informed the ambulance now my job is over.

“Miss, please get in fast.”

Another person asked me and me as usual with sealed lips followed him. I can’t say my thoughts loudly, I just hate myself for being so introverted.

I cursed myself and sat silently in one ambulance.

“Miss, out of two, one person’s condition is very critical and another person has to be operated on soon. Please pay the security amount at the cash counter,” the nurse said.

She stuffed these papers in my hand and went. What should I do with these?

My eyes are about to pop out after seeing the zero behind five. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 OMG six-digit figure. I haven’t seen such an enormous amount ever in my life.

“Young miss, you don’t need to pay this amount altogether, right now you can pay only 50% of the figure.”

Seems like the madam on the cash table read my face but I couldn’t even get the picture of such an enormous amount let alone 50%.

But I don’t even know them. I just met them on the road and found that they need help.

Ahh, these words are running in my mind, but I can’t voice out. After thinking for a while, I made a decision.

“Madam, I don’t have such an enormous amount, couldn’t you people start treatment and the man lying unconscious seems rich when he will regain his conscious back you can ask your payment from him?” I said between stuttering.

“Sorry, miss, we can’t do that and he needs to be operated fast.”

I clutched my small pouch containing few thousand, then think about the person who needs this money more than me and placed it in front of the cashier.

“Madam, I have only this much.”

The cashier started counting it and looked towards me in disdain.

“It’s only $4,586. I am sorry I can’t help it like this. Please pay a little more amount otherwise we can’t start the operation.”

I drown in thoughts, took out my chain given by dad, and placed it in front of the cashier.

“Madam, please keep it as a guarantee, I will try to arrange money and take this back, please help a little.”

Seems like the cashier felt pity for me and agreed to my request.

“Alright, but do it fast I can’t take the risk for long.”

I thanked her a thousand times in my heart and walked out of the hospital.

Ahh, what did I do, I have lost the last souvenir of my parents and even every single penny of mine. What will I do now?

Tears rolled down from my eyes. I started walking aimlessly and couldn’t able to think anything more.

Seems like I had to die like this only. I couldn’t survive seeing my mom, dad, and brother.

It was almost dawn, and I was walking aimlessly for many hours. Finally, being tired, I sat on the side of the road, but tears never left my eyes.

I cried for several hours when a Mercedes Benz stopped in front of me.

Whoever the master of this costly car, it can’t be for mine.

I didn’t care about the car and keep on shedding tears when a young, tall body build-up man in a black suit came and stood in front of me.

“Young miss, are you the one who saved a person from the accident and gave your precious stuff as a guarantee for deposit amount.”

My eyes become wide again. Who is this person talking to me so respectfully, and how did he know what happened sometimes before?

I couldn’t move my tongue, just nod my head with a fearful face.

“Get in the car.”
