the date
I woke up still on the sofa, I looked at my arm, the blood had dried but it didn't look good. I got up to get some breakfast but my head went light and I stumbled over onto the floor, my arm shot pain all through my body, I pumped down on the energy source (ES) and I felt a relief go through my body. I decided it was probably a good idea to get it checked out so I picked up my mobile and dialled 999
"hello, how can we help?"
"ambulance" I said surprisingly calm
"ok, I'll just put you through" said a lady, I had to wait for a long time before someone came
"hello" said a high woman's voice
"umm my arm, I think it's infected" I said looking down at my arm, it didn't look good a pus was oozing out it now
"ok, where are you?"
"umm 64 evergreen terrace" I lied, it wasn't far away so I would walk there and meet them there
"ok we'll be there soon" she said, the phone clicked as she hung up. I grabbed my rucksack, it had all my personal items in there, well my gun, penknife, maps, water bottle, quite a lot really. It had a bug on it so scans wouldn't pick the weapons up and would show up as books....
When I got to 64 evergreen terrace, the ambulance ha just come round the corner, I waved with my good arm and try stopped
"are you the injured?" asked a thin black haired man
"umm I guess" I said holding up my arm, he wrinkled his nose and lead me into the van. All the journey doctors were checking my arm and giving me tablets. When we finally got there, I got taken to a bed to be looked at by a doctor
"hi I'm Doctor Dave" said a fat guy
"I'm Lu-" I started but I suddenly realised no where was safe anymore I needed to lie
"Lu Lu Safe" I said smiling
"nice name, so what's wrong with your arm?" he said examining my wound
"Uhh, someone shot it...." I said truthfully
"oh right ok?"
"yep, what's wrong with it?" I asked, he looked at it for a while and poked it,
"well?" I asked becoming impatient
"the bones ok, but you will need stitches, and I think the bullets still in there" he said frowning. He walked out the room and got a nurse to come and help out. They bought in a needle and a dish.
"are you ok with this?" he asked holding up a device to get the bullet out
"umm can I do it myself?" I asked, I preferred it like that, on my own,
"sure hold on a sec" he said sounding worried, he walked out and came back in with another doctor
"this is Hale" he said pointing to a doctor, he had blue eyes, blonde hair that hung over his eyes and a mysterious look on his face,
"so you want to pull a bullet out of your arm" he asked laughing
"yeah and the stitches" I said, grabbing the pliers from his hand, he frowned and jabbed them into my cut, I felt them meet the bullet and I clasped them around it, I pulled it out quickly wincing
"there we go" I said placing it back in Hale's hand, he looked at me shocked and I gestured towards the needle, he handed it to me and some string to thread through it. I pierced my skin and threaded the skin over and over again until it was clasped together, I hopped off the bed and walked out the room to go back to the forest. I got to reception and felt a warm hand on my shoulder, I turned around ready to fight whoever it was off
"whoa whoa! " shouted Hale at me
"sorry, reflexes" I said starting to walk away again, I got out of the car park and a few meters away from the forest
"what do you want?" I asked Hale annoyed
"where are you going?"
"home"
"wait, you live in there" he said pointing towards the trees
"yep" I smiled and walked off I could feel him behind me "look, go home" I said trying to get rid of him
"who are you really?" he asked grasping my arm
"someone" I said shrugging him off
"hmm tell me at dinner, tonight meet me at Dalo's" he said Dalo's was an Italian restaurant in town
"pick me up here only condition" I said, it was a free meal I couldn't turn it down
"sure" he said looking pleased with himself
"ok bye" I said walking away
"see ya tonight at seven then!" he called, I just waved and walked on. I got my gun out my rucksack just in case of attacks.
I got home safely and walked into my room, 6pm, wow time flys. I pulled on a clean pair of trousers and top and cleaned my leather jacket and put it on. I took my phone and of course gun and knife ( just in case) and walked to the place he was picking me up, I was half way there when I heard a snap behind me. I pulled out my gun from my belt loop
"who's there?" I shouted strongly, and bulky figure stumbled out of the dark trees, he was also holding a gun
"heh, you killed fifteen men, but forgot about me, you only winded me" he said smugly, I suddenly remembered about him, he looked down at his feet and laughed, I raised an eyebrow,
"easy target" I said, he looked up slowly, he was drunk badly, I held up my gun and shot him in the top of his head, he toppled over and curled up on the floor. I shrugged and walked off smiling. When I got to the pick up point Hale was already sitting there looking through his phone
"there you are, thought you ditched it" he said leading me to his car
"hmm I was close to it" I sat slumping into the back of the car. We drove for awhile he kept trying to start convocations and I would join in now and then. When we got there he lea me to a table looking over the beach
"so what's your name?" Hale asked
" Lu Lu" I lied
"seriously?" he said frowning
"nope" I smiled
"what is it then?"
"can't say" we ordered some pizza and drinks, he would just stare at me and sigh
"what?" I asked annoyed again
"what your name?" he dragged on
"fine if you'll shut up, Luna Hope"
"nice name" he said winking
"look not to be a downer" I said chewing on pizza quickly "but I'm not looking for a boyfriend ok?" I said on my final piece of pizza
"eh did you come on this then?" he asked hurt
"free meal" I said standing up
"where you going" he asked
"well we've both finished so I'm going home"
"oh right let me walk you home" I frowned but knew he wouldn't give up,
"fine, come on" I said walking out
