They had started watching an old black and white film which they had chosen from the inflight selection, it was about an old manor house where a crazy lord lived, who was keeping his young wife captive.<br \/>\nMike sat with his eyes fixed to the screen slowly munching on sweet popcorn. The film was getting to a very dark part, the young wife was being followed through the house and had just turned down into a shadowed filled hall\u2026 Anna lent over and tapped Mike gently on the shoulder, fully aware that he was very much engrossed in the scene playing in front of his eyes.<br \/>\n\u201cAhhhhhh!!\u201d Mike jumped up in his seat sending a shower of popcorn to the floor.<br \/>\n\u201cSorry.\u201d Anna chuckled throatily \u201cDidn\u2019t mean to scare you.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cNo, it\u2019s fine.\u201d He said nervously laughing. \u201cI didn\u2019t realise I\u2019d got so in to the film.\u201d He brushed some popcorn off himself back in to the bowl it had come from.<br \/>\n\u201cI could see, just going to get a bit of shut eye\u2026too many bubbles me thinks.\u201d She yawned stretching her arms up over her head \u201cSorry.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cNo worries, you get some rest and I\u2019ll wake you up an hour before we land, that\u2019s if you\u2019re not already up.\u201d<br \/>\nHe gave her a cheeky smile as he said winking; \u201cI\u2019m sure the hostess will keep me company.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m sure she will.\u201d Anna shook her head but smiled. \u201cNite then.\u201d<br \/>\nAnna pressed the button that made the back of the chair recline. One of the benefits of flying in business class is that you have so much leg room and the seats are practically beds. Pulling off her black pumps she curled her feet underneath her and settled back in to the U-shaped pillow that was behind her neck. Closing her eyes and breathing deeply she felt her body slowly relaxing, be it from the long day or the bubbles from the champers, Anna had become very tired and sank in to a dream filled sleep.<\/p>\n<p>****<\/p>\n<p>As Mike sat watching the rest of the film and rather enjoying the free drink and snacks that only business class can provide he watched out of the corner of his eye as Anna slowly sank into a deep slumber. What she didn\u2019t know was that he had used his last cash to get the upgrade; he wasn\u2019t going to mess up the only chance at getting to know her. Mike wasn\u2019t even sure if he was ever going to see her after the ride to Falls.<br \/>\nYou can learn a lot about someone in five hours. He now knew what her favourite food was, and what she disliked, what her favourite colour was, best animal, which were cats (he could learn to like them), her taste in music which ranged from classical right through to heavy metal. What he liked the most was her sense of humour. Some of the things that she came out with made his sides split! And a couple of times they had been told to keep it down by the flight attendant because their merriment had been disturbing the other passengers.<br \/>\nShe had spoken some more about her friend Clara. You could tell that it was hard to leave her behind, she said people would often say that they had been separated at birth because they were so close. Whenever she spoke about her father though it was just pure love! By the sounds of things they had been through some real hard and trying times, with the death of her mother and the fact her dad had started to drink heavily to cope with the loss. Even after going through that she had come out fighting and was a much stronger person than he was, he had never had to deal with that kind of loss and pain in his life, his had been a picnic compared to hers.<br \/>\nMike looked across at Anna\u2019s sleeping figure; she looked so small snuggled up in the large leather seat. He reached up and pressed the call button and waited for a steward to come.<br \/>\n\u201cYes Mr Stevenson, what can I do for you?\u201d The stewardess said with a polite smile on her face.<br \/>\n\u201cCould you bring me a blanket please?\u201d he said in a hushed voice making sure not to wake Anna.<br \/>\n\u201cOf course Sir, will be you be in need of anything else?\u201d She said this with a glint of mischief in her blue eyes.<br \/>\n\u201cNo that will be all, mama.\u201d He thought it was sweet that she was interested in him but he only had eyes for the brunette sleeping next to him.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019ll get that right way sir.\u201d Looking a little put out she walked away with more than an exaggerated sway to her full hips. She came back a few moments later with the blanket, handed it to Mike with a curt nod of her head and a small smile and went away, he guessed she didn\u2019t get turned down very often.<br \/>\nMike shook out the blanket and placed it around Anna\u2019s sleeping body, tucking it gently in about her. He watched as she snuggled deeper in to her seat.<br \/>\nA lock of her hair had come loose and had fallen across her face he reached over and brushed it back in to place with the tips of his fingers. How can someone look so beautiful when they sleep.<br \/>\nHe gazed at her taking in the flawlessness of her skin and the tiny wash of freckles that played across her nose; she had a cute button nose that went up slightly at the end and long dark lashes which framed her eyes, casting shadows across her cheeks in the dim light of the cabin.<br \/>\nAnna stirred, Mike thought she might wake so he looked away not wanting to be caught staring at her while she slept. Luckily she only snuggled even deeper into her blanket, by the way her eyes moved under her lids Mike guessed she was dreaming.<\/p>\n<p>****<\/p>\n<p>Anna woke to find that she was alone in the cabin, Mike was no longer sat next to her and the other passengers seemed to be missing. We can\u2019t be here already, Mike said he would wake me. She thought.<br \/>\nThe light in the cabin seemed strange. It had an eerie greyness to it like the kind of light you get just before dawn and there was a cold stillness to the air as if in the dead of night.<br \/>\n\u201cHello?\u201d She called but the only reply was her own eco.<br \/>\nAnna slowly got up letting the blanket fall to the floor, moving in to the isle of the plane she walked toward the curtain that separated business from economy, pulling it back and peering around she found herself looking in to an even emptier 2nd class! This started to make her uneasy.<br \/>\n\u201cHello?\u201d She called again, she waited, and again there was no response just her own hello echoed back.<br \/>\nTurning back around Anna started toward the front of the cabin where the cockpit was. Tapping lightly on the door she waited, she couldn\u2019t hear any movement from behind so decided to open it, her hand moved toward the cold metal latch and her fingers slipped around it. There was a little click and the door unlocked; it slowly swung open, what she saw beyond the door struck her as very strange.<br \/>\nI must be dreaming she thought. It had opened on to a dark hallway much like the one that was in the film she had been watching with Mike before she fell asleep. On one side there were windows at regular intervals, the moon was out sending strange blue patterns across to the opposite side of the wall where there seemed to be a row of closed doors. When she looked back behind her to where the cabin door had been it was no longer there, all that met her eyes was blackness. This is too weird!<br \/>\nThere was a noise behind her, she span round her heart hammering in her chest to see a shadow dart across the end of the hall.<br \/>\n\u201cIs there anyone there?\u201d She called but nobody replied.<br \/>\nEven though she was feeling frightened beyond belief her bare feet stared to carry her forward down the dark hallway. The thought crossed her mind that this was a bad idea but she continued on.<br \/>\nSlowly Anna reached the end of the hall which opened up onto another corridor. She looked left and darkness was all she saw, looking right she could see another opening at the end but there again was more of the same darkness that seem to be closing in all around her.<br \/>\nDoors ran the length of the hall but there was no light coming from beneath any of them. Then from the corner of her eye she saw a light start to glow from beneath one of them. It had an orange red tinge to it. Not knowing what lay beyond she decided to chance a look, maybe there was someone in there that could help her. Slowly walking the length of the hall she soon came to the door with the orange red glow \u201cHello?\u201d She said as she knocked gently on the dark wood door. There was no reply although she could just make out a faint crackling as if from a fire. Pressing her palm flat against the door she checked the wood to make sure that the room as not ablaze, but the wood was cool beneath her hand. Grasping on the door handle she felt her heart start to hammer in her chest again. Just keep calm she told herself, twisting the handle down. The door slowly opened inwards. When Anna peered around the door she looked into a dark room which was lit only from the small fire crackling merrily away in an old marble fire place which gave the room a soft amber glow. Looking around she could see bookshelves lining the walls from floor to ceiling, a small writing desk and chair in the far right of the room and two over stuffed high wing backed chairs which were in front of the fire. There was a portrait above the fireplace but she was unable to see the face in full as the light from the fire just didn\u2019t quite reach it, what she could make out was that is was of a regal looking gentleman.<br \/>\nAnna could feel herself becoming very tired and the warmth that was emanating from the burning logs was making her sleepy. Moving toward the fire and the two large chairs she decided to sit for a while and think what her next move would be. Climbing into one of the chairs she settled herself back and started to watch the flames that were dancing away in the fire grate, they became hypnotic and she soon found her eyes start to sag shut and close.<\/p>\n<p>Anna became aware of the presence of somebody else in the room, she woke from her doze and looked around. She didn\u2019t see anyone at first, then her eyes settled on the chair next to hers, there was someone sitting there. Peering closer Anna realised it was a man; his face was obscured by the wing back of the chair which sent a shadow across his face \u201cMike?\u201d Anna whispered.<br \/>\n\u201cMike\u2019s not here.\u201d The man said softly. \u201cWhat may I ask are you doing in my home?\u201d His voice was well spoken with a soft accent which she could not quite place.<br \/>\nAnna strained to see his face but could not make out much as the shadow from the chair and flames were making strange shapes across it making it hard to see.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m sorry but I don\u2019t quite know how I got here\u2026.. I\u2019m looking for my friend Mike. Have you seen him?\u201d Anna asked with slight hesitation. The man rose from his chair and moved toward the fire, he placed an arm behind his back and in the other he had a crystal tumbler which was filled with an amber liquid she guessed must be a malt whisky of some kind. His hair just brushed the collar of his jacket, which to her eye reminded her of the old fashioned smoking jackets that men sometime wore, he seemed to be thinking as he gazed in to the fire, then he spoke moving his head so she could just make out his side profile.<br \/>\n\u201cI may know where he is.\u201d<br \/>\nAnna got to her feet quickly.<br \/>\n\u201cPlease, could you show me where!\u201d she said with slight desperation, the whole situation was making her increasingly uneasy. She moved closer to him and could make out his features more clearly.<br \/>\nHe had a strong jaw and a smooth line to his nose, his skin was a pale cream and dark lashes that any woman would be envious of.<br \/>\nHe suddenly turned around to face her and she was taken aback by the beauty of his face. If a man could be beautiful this man was. His dark hair fell in waves around his face and his eyes were as black as onyx and full soft lips that glistened with slight moisture from the drink he sipped. Anna was so hypnotised by his face and eyes that she didn\u2019t realise that he had spoken again.<br \/>\n\u201cMadam? May I ask you of your name?\u201d He said with a slight tilt of his head and a small smile playing on his lips.<br \/>\n\u201cOh! I\u2019m so sorry\u2026forgot where I was\u2026my name is Anna.\u201d She said with a shake of her head.<br \/>\n\u201cWould you please follow me and I will take you to this Mike you speak of.\u201d She wasn\u2019t sure but she thought there was a slight hint of mockery in the way that he said Mike.<br \/>\nHe walked to the door and opened it wide for Anna to step through, as he closed it behind them she was sure that the light from the fire went out.<br \/>\nHe didn\u2019t speak a word the whole time that they walked and they seem to walk for ages, her feet had started to hurt and become cold again.<br \/>\n\u201cIs it much farther?\u201d She asked as she lent against the wall and rubbed her foot.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are all most there\u2026.not much farther now.\u201d His voice seemed distant and echoed down the hall.<br \/>\n\u201cJust in here, Anna\u2026your friend Mike is waiting.\u201d She didn\u2019t like the way he put the emphases on the word friend, her heart started to hammer again.<br \/>\nHe held open the door of a darkened room and gestured for her to enter, she took a few slow steps in and then was suddenly pushed with great force from behind falling heavily onto the tiled floor landing in something wet and sticky. The door slammed behind her and all she could hear was the strange man laughing like a maniac outside.<br \/>\nThe room was so dark she couldn\u2019t even see her hand in front of her face, her hands and legs were covered in whatever she had fallen into, the air in the room was damp and uncomfortably warm. She brushed her hair that had fallen into her eyes away and crawled slowly back to where the door should be. There was a very faint light coming from underneath but not enough to light the room.<br \/>\n\u201cHay! Let me out!\u201d She screamed and banged the door. Then Anna noticed the smell. She couldn\u2019t quite make out what it was, there was a slight metallic almost iron tinge to it. The only other time she had ever smelt a smell like that was when she had cut herself. The realisation struck her that it could quite well be blood that she had fallen into and she didn\u2019t want to think about who\u2019s it could be. \u201cPlease, not Mike\u2019s, please!\u201d She pleaded she pushed herself up from the floor and against the door into a standing position. Anna stretched her hand out to the left and felt around the edge of the door.<br \/>\nThere must be a light here somewhere. She desperately thought. She extended her hand to the right and found what she was looking for, the light switch.<br \/>\nDo I really want to see what\u2019s in here? She didn\u2019t but she had to find away out, the acidic smell was starting to burn her nostrils.<br \/>\nHolding her breath and bracing herself for what she might see Anna snapped on the light.<br \/>\nWhat Anna saw made her knees buckle beneath her and bile rise in her throat, she fell to the floor and heaved until there was nothing left. \u201cNo, No, No\u2026. No.\u201d She said between sobs. \u201cThis can&#8217;t be!\u201d Her throat stung with the acid from her stomach and when she looked down she saw her hands, arms and legs were covered in crimson.<br \/>\nThe room was a wash with blood and body parts, she could see the terror stricken faces of the flight crew and the passengers that had been sat in business, then she caught sight of the handsome blue eyes that belonged to Mike, his face twisted in pure horror and disbelieving. \u201c Nooooooooooooooo.\u201d She sobbed.<\/p>\n<p>****<\/p>\n<p>Mike was jolted a wake by the sudden scream that came from Anna\u2019s mouth, she had sat bolt right up and had sweat glistening on her chest, arms and forehead.<br \/>\n\u201cNoooooooooo.\u201d Anna wept.<br \/>\n\u201cHay! Hay\u2026.calm down hunny.\u201d He said as he pulled her in to a tight embrace.<br \/>\n\u201cWhat\u2019s happened? Did you have a bad dream?\u201d He looked down in to her tear streaked face. She looked up at him \u201cOh Mike\u2026..it was awful\u2026.I woke up and no one was here and, and then I was in a spooky house and.\u201d The words were tumbling out of her.<br \/>\n\u201cYour going to have to slow down, hunny I can\u2019t understand you.\u201d He pushed her damp hair out of her face; even in this dishevelled state she still looked beautiful.<br \/>\nAnna pulled away from his hold and started to tell him what had happened.<br \/>\n\u201cAnd then there was blood and you were\u2026\u2026I\u2019m sorry I must seem like an idiot.\u201d Looking down into her lap she wiped at her eyes.<br \/>\n\u201cHay, don\u2019t worry we all have bad dreams.\u201d He placed a finger under her chin and lifted her face up to look at him. \u201cI\u2019m all right and I\u2019m right here.\u201d She smiled a small smile up at him.<br \/>\n\u201cIs everything okay here?\u201d Said the stewardess.<br \/>\n\u201cYes mama, but would you bring us some bourbon with ice, we need a few nerves calming.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOf course sir, right away.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWell I doubt it was as bad as my dream, I was naked in front of the whole of my family!\u201d He gave a shudder at the thought. Anna gave a small laugh.<br \/>\n\u201cNow that\u2019s better.\u201d Mike said gently. The stewardess reappeared with there drinks.<br \/>\n\u201cThere you are, will there be anything else?\u201d She asked with a smile that seemed to be a constant fixture on her face.<br \/>\n\u201cNo that will be all.\u201d Mike said with a tap of a cap that was not on his head.<br \/>\n\u201cYou drink that down and you will feel a whole world better.\u201d He handed her the drink and she took it in both hands, raising it to her nose she took in the warm deep smell of the bourbon. When she had a sip the warm golden liquid rushed down her throat sending fire running through her body, it left a glowing sensation in the pit of her stomach.<br \/>\n\u201cNow, do you feel better?\u201d Asked Mike as he took a draft of his own amber liquid.<br \/>\n\u201cYes thank you\u2026.again I\u2019m so sorry.\u201d She said looking in to her glass.<br \/>\n\u201cLike I said we all have bad dreams\u2026.it\u2019s a combination of the film we were watching and your nerves about moving away\u2026..I\u2019m here for you no matter what\u2026I know we have only just met but I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot of each other.\u201d He started to go a slight shade of pink.<br \/>\nAnna looked out of the window and tried to hide the little smile that was forming on her lips, turning back round she held her glass up.<br \/>\n\u201cI propose a toast.\u201d<br \/>\nMike also held his glass up and smiled broadly.<br \/>\n\u201cTo new friendships!\u201d Said Anna.<br \/>\n\u201cAnd new beginnings!\u201d Mike said softly and gazed at the amazing girl in front of him.<br \/>\n\u201cCheers!\u201d They said in unison clinking their glasses together and downimg the rest of the bourbon in one.<br \/>\n\u201cWooo, hoooo, that\u2019s some good bourbon!\u201d Mike said with a hoot and slamming his glass down.<br \/>\n\u201cYou\u2019re right about that!\u201d Anna agreed placing her glass down and fanning herself as the warm liquid flowed through her.<br \/>\n\u201cDo you think we should have another?\u201d Mike said raising his eyebrows.<br \/>\n\u201cHummm\u2026..I don\u2019t know. What time do you make it?\u201d Anna said as she riffled through her bag to find her phone then realised it was turned off due to the flight.<br \/>\nMike pulled his shirtsleeve up to look at his watch;<br \/>\n\u201cWe have time.\u201d He said as he reached up and pressed the call button and looked over at Anna and smiled. The stewardess appeared and took there order.<br \/>\n\u201cSo what are you going to be doing in your first days of American life?\u201d Mike asked as he opened the peanuts that the stewardess had brought with their drinks.<br \/>\n\u201cUn-packing\u2026.cleaning as I don\u2019t think anyone has been living in my new place for about 6 months\u2026..having a look around Falls, you know getting a feel for the place and getting a job.\u201d She laughed.<br \/>\n\u201cWell if you need a tour guide I\u2019m your man!\u201d Mike said with a flurry of hands.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019ll take you up on that.\u201d Anna said as she clinked her glass against Mike\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>For the next hour and a half they made plans to meet up in a few days and exchanged mobile numbers. Anna was really starting to like this guy, he was funny and smart, and above all he was genuine.<br \/>\nHer only worry was getting too close too soon, it was time to take it slow and if things were going to happen they would. She knew that he liked her because he was flirting a lot more than when they first met and she didn\u2019t mind this one little bit. It was cute because she was starting to realise that he must be a little younger than her and she hadn\u2019t even asked what his age was.<br \/>\n\u201cSorry to stop you\u2026.I was just wondering what age you are\u2026you must be over 21 to be drinking.\u201d She nodded towards his drink.<br \/>\n\u201cOh\u2026I wondered when it was going to get to the age question.\u201d He laughed \u201cI\u2019m 23 going on 33.\u201d Just as she thought he was 3 and half years younger, she was 26 and her birthday in a few weeks.<br \/>\n\u201cNow I know they say you should never ask a lady what her age is but\u2026..\u201d He said with a mock pleading eyes. Anna laughed<br \/>\n\u201cNo you shouldn\u2019t ask a lady her age but as you asked so nicely I\u2019m 26 soon to be 27 so that makes me older than you Ha!\u201d She punched him playfully in the arm.<br \/>\n\u201cWow\u2026.I mean\u2026when I first saw you I would have put you at 24!\u201d<br \/>\nMike couldn\u2019t believe it she looked so much younger, and when she was sleeping he would have put her at 20. He should have guessed really as her outlook on life was so much more intoned with someone older and wiser, he had just put that down to everything that she had been through.<br \/>\n\u201cI hope you like younger guys.\u201d He said with a wink.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m sure I can be turned to the idea.\u201d She winked back. Just then the intercom sounded:<\/p>\n<p>WE ARE ABOUT TO LAND SO PLEASE CAN ALL PASSANGERS PUT THEIR SEATS BACK INTO THE UPRIGHT POSITION AND FOLD TRAYS AWAY, PLEASE FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS UNTIL WE HAVE LANDED AND THE LIGHT HAS GONE OUT. ON BEHALF OF ALL THE CREW I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR TRAVELING WITH US AND WE HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN SOON.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell here we go, I hope the landing is as smooth as the take off!\u201d Anna said already gripping the arms of her seat, Mike reached over and squeezed her hand and gave her a reassuring smile.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m sure it will hunny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>****<\/p>\n<p>After a not so smooth landing Anna and Mike made their way to the baggage reclaim, waiting for about half an hour for their bags and nearly missed them as they went by on the baggage belt because they were to caught up in conversation.<br \/>\n\u201cThat was close.\u201d Anna said as she heaved her rucksack onto her back and pulled the trolley handle up on her other case making it easier to pull.<br \/>\n\u201cSo which way now?\u201d She asked.<br \/>\n\u201cFollow me. It\u2019s just down this way.\u201d Mike pointed to where a stream of passengers were making their way out.<br \/>\nAs they made their way through to arrivals Mike was getting more and more excited about seeing his mum who he hadn\u2019t seen in 6 months due to his being away.<br \/>\n\u201cAre you sure she won\u2019t mind giving me a lift?\u201d Anna asked getting a little nervous about meeting his mum for the first time.<br \/>\n\u201cNo, not at all! Like I said it\u2019s on the way and she is going to love you!\u201d He said giving her a little squeeze.<br \/>\nAs they came through the doors Mike was looking around trying to see his mum. Anna saw a short woman who must have been in her late 40\u2019s waving her arms. She had short blonde grey hair and was wearing a pale pink cardigan with blue stone washed jeans, she knew its was Mike\u2019s mum straight away as she had the same kind blue eyes as he did.<br \/>\n\u201cMichael! Michael\u2026.over here!\u201d She called as she rushed towards them. Anna stayed a little back as Mike dropped his bags and ran over to her.<br \/>\n\u201cMom! It\u2019s so good to see you.\u201d He said as they embraced.<br \/>\n\u201cMy boy! Oh my boy I have missed you so much. Please, no more travelling\u2026I swear you have got taller in six months.\u201d Mike\u2019s mum said as she looked at him at arms length.<br \/>\n\u201cMa I stopped growing at 18. It\u2019s you that\u2019s got smaller.\u201d He laughed.<br \/>\nAnna stood and watched feeling like she should be somewhere else rather than intruding on this happy moment, it made her think of how much she missed her own mother.<br \/>\nAnna looked away and looked at all the other people meeting and greeting friends and family, and arriving home. It seemed like such a happy time and there were smiling faces all around.<br \/>\nWhat happy places airports can be. Anna thought to herself.<\/p>\n<p>Mike realised that Anna hadn\u2019t stepped forward and seemed miles away. His mother noticed him looking at her.<br \/>\n\u201cIs that young lady with you son?\u201d she asked with a smile and slightly raised eyebrows.<br \/>\n\u201cYeah\u2026sorry let me introduce you\u2026.Anna?\u201d Mike called to her and gestured with his hands for her to come closer.<br \/>\n\u201cAnna I want you to meet my mom.\u201d Mike\u2019s mother clasped Anna\u2019s hands in her own, just like Mike\u2019s they were cool to the touch.<br \/>\n\u201cHello Anna. So nice to meet you, my name is Jane\u2026Michael, she is a beauty. Why have you kept her a secret?\u201d She said smiling at Anna warmly.<br \/>\n\u201cI haven\u2019t been keeping her a secret as I only met her 10 hours ago.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOh I see\u2026.well you do have a habit of picking up waifs and strays\u2026.Not that you are, dear.\u201d Jane said kindly with a pat on Anna\u2019s hands.<br \/>\n\u201cMom!\u201d Mike said with a groan. \u201cShe\u2019s moving over here to finish her studies. I saw her at the airport looking down and we got talking.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cAlways had an eye for a pretty face he has.\u201d She winked at Anna.<br \/>\n\u201cReally Mom! Anyway can we give her a lift? She\u2019s staying in Falls.\u201d Mike looked a little embarrassed but Anna thought Jane was great and had a feeling that she was winding Mike up.<br \/>\n\u201cOf course we can give her a lift. Can\u2019t have her wondering around this place without knowing where she is going\u2026. Now you come with me my dear. We\u2019ll get you to your place, no problem\u2026.. Are you okay with those bags Michael? We girls have a lot to talk about.\u201d Jane slipped her arm into Anna\u2019s and started forward all the while telling Anna the silly things that Mike used to bring home when he was a boy. Anna looked over her shoulder at Mike as he picked up the bags with a pleading look on her face, Mike just grinned and mouthed \u201cI told you she would like you!\u201d he gave her the thumbs up.<\/p>\n<p>When they had finally got to the car Anna had been told about the first 10 years of Mike\u2019s life and she found it hard not to laugh at some of the things his mum had told her. Mike just looked increasingly embarrassed and now had a permanent red glow to his face.<br \/>\n\u201cOkay mom! Enough of the stories.\u201d He said as he placed the bags in the boot. He stood up and rolled his shoulders to loosen them up from carrying two very heavy rucksacks and one rather small but still very heavy case.<br \/>\n\u201cWhat?\u201d Jane said in mock surprise. \u201cIt\u2019s just a few childhood stories, no harm done.\u201d She said with a chuckle \u201cOkay my boy you can ride in the back and Anna you sit up front with me\u2026so where are we to drop you off darling? You got a place to stay? If not I can always make up the spare guest room and you can stay with us.\u201d Jane said with a squeeze of Anna\u2019s hand.<br \/>\n\u201cAnna has a place sorted mom, it\u2019s okay\u201d He said rolling his eyes.<br \/>\n\u201cThanks Mrs Stevenson.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cCall me Jane, dear. Mrs Stevenson makes me sound old.\u201d Jane said as she checked the rear view mirror and reversed out of the parking space.<br \/>\n\u201cOkay Jane\u2026.let me just see.\u201d Anna opened up her bag and found her address book; she flicked through the pages till she came to the page with the address.<br \/>\n\u201cIts 67 Sunny View Crescent near the south side of the campus.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOkay I know where that is, let\u2019s go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They pulled out onto the highway just as the sun was coming up. It sent out beautiful golden rays over the whole of the surrounding countryside and gave the place a warm and welcoming feel. Wow! This is amazing and I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m here! She thought as she gazed out the window and watched as her new world whizzed by. The traffic was light as it was still quite early and before she knew it they had passed the sign to Falls with only a few more miles to go.<br \/>\n\u201cNot far now dear\u2026 Are you sure you don\u2019t want to come by my house with Michael and share some breakfast with us?\u201d Jane asked looking through the rear view mirror smiling fondly.<br \/>\n\u201cThank you so much but I would like to get to my new place and start to sort things out if that\u2019s okay. Maybe another time though.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOkay as long as you\u2019re sure\u2026just remember you\u2019re welcome any time.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThat\u2019s very kind Jane, thank you.\u201d Anna said smiling and thinking what an amazing mother that Mike had and could see where he got his kindness from.<br \/>\nThey had just pulled off the highway and were making their way into Falls. It was a small town with row after row of beautiful little town houses fronted with well maintained gardens. The shops looked very prosperous and there were already early morning runners and dog walkers on the streets. Anna started to feel excited and couldn\u2019t wait to explore her new town.<br \/>\nMike pointed out the best bars to go to and Jane told her where the best markets were.<br \/>\n\u201cOh, and that little place over there; it does the best coffee and pastries in the county!\u201d She pointed to a caf\u00e9 with yellow shutters and a green awning and little tables outside waiting for early bird customers.<br \/>\n\u201cAnd that up there is the old manor that I told you about at the airport.\u201d Mike pointed to a large stone built building up on a hill, it looked as old as Mike had said. She really didn\u2019t want to think about spooky old houses right now, memories of her terrible dream flooding back, Anna shuddered.<br \/>\nThey pulled in to Sunny View Crescent and found Anna\u2019s place. It didn\u2019t look to bad from the outside, it needed a lick of paint and the garden needed the grass mown but all in all it was nice. Let\u2019s hope the inside is as good. She hoped.<br \/>\n\u201cRight, here we are.\u201d Jane said coming to a stop behind Anna\u2019s new car. \u201cMichael be a good boy and help the lady with her bags\u2026I\u2019ll wait in the car.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cYes mom.\u201d Mike got out and came round to Anna\u2019s side of the car and opened her door \u201cMy lady\u2026.\u201d He said as he held out his hand for her to take.<br \/>\n\u201cWhy thank you kind sir.\u201d She said with a chuckle.<br \/>\nWhen he had closed the car door and retrieved Anna\u2019s bags from the boot he walked her to the door, Anna reached into her bag and pulled out the keys to her new place, and putting the key in the lock she unlocked the door.<br \/>\nWhen she opened it she was met with a slightly damp smell and all the boxes that she had sent over were stacked everywhere.<br \/>\n\u201cBloody hell, can\u2019t people read?\u201d She exclaimed looking around and seeing that none of the boxes had been put in the correct rooms even though they were clearly marked.<br \/>\n\u201cHey look I can stay and help if you want.\u201d Mike asked a little too eagerly. She had a feeling he didn\u2019t want the third degree from his mom on the way home.<br \/>\n\u201cNo I\u2019ll be fine\u2026.it will be good for me\u2026.but I might need a little help in a few days time to do a bit of painting and stuff.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cNo problem, I\u2019ll bring some help, a couple of my friends\u2026. By the way I\u2019m so sorry about my mom\u2026she can be so embarrassing.\u201d Mike said with a pained face which made Anna laugh.<br \/>\n\u201cShe is great Mike\u2026.honestly\u2026can\u2019t wait to hear some more stories\u2026.did you really paint your whole face green?\u201d Anna said trying not to laugh.<br \/>\n\u201cOh my god I can\u2019t believe she told you that!\u201d He said putting his now red face in his hands.<br \/>\n\u201cWhat was it?\u201d Anna said putting her finger to her lips in a thoughtful manner. \u201cYou wanted to be a frog!\u201d<br \/>\nMike groaned.<br \/>\n\u201cPlease, no don\u2019t!\u201d he said shaking his head.<br \/>\n\u201cRibit!\u201d Anna made the sound of a frog and tried her hardest not to burst out laughing.<br \/>\n\u201cOh no\u2026.you did not just say that!\u201d he said looking at her slightly disbelieving.<br \/>\n\u201cWhat? Ribit!\u201d Anna laughed out loud.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m so gonna get you for that!\u201d Mike said as he tried to grab Anna. But she jumped out the way too fast for him laughing all the while and crocking like a frog. \u201cGet back here you.\u201d He caught hold of her but didn\u2019t see the box that was just behind him, it caught the back of his legs and they both went over Anna landing on top of him in fits of giggles.<br \/>\n\u201cWoooow, my god\u2026.Well didn\u2019t see that coming.\u201d Mike laughed as he held Anna. They tried to catch their breath and the laughter subsided, they realised that they had stopped and were looking in to each others eyes.<br \/>\n\u201cI guess we\u2026.better get up.\u201d Mike said as he slipped his arms around Anna\u2019s back.<br \/>\n\u201cYeah\u2026.you\u2019re right.\u201d Anna said as Mike\u2019s face came up to meet hers, she started to close her eyes in the anticipation of their first kiss, HONK, HONK!! Anna jumped and jerked up ward.<br \/>\n\u201cWow! That scared me.\u201d She said a little shaken and climbed to her feet.<br \/>\n\u201cYou and me both.\u201d Mike climbed to his feet also and brushed the back of his shorts for any dust that may have gotten on them.<br \/>\nMy mother must have a damned sixth sense!!! Mike thought irritably.<br \/>\n\u201cWell I best go\u2026.mother calling.\u201d Looking down at his feet.<br \/>\n\u201cSure\u2026.. You\u2019ll be around in a few days then?\u201d This wasn\u2019t a question but an invitation.<br \/>\n\u201cDamn right I will\u2026..if you need anything though just give me a call.\u201d<br \/>\nHONK, HONK!<br \/>\n\u201cGod damn it! Right better go otherwise she gets mean.\u201d He said as Anna walked him to the door.<br \/>\n\u201cSee you in a few days?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cSure thing hunny.\u201d Mike started to walk toward the waiting car.<br \/>\n\u201cBye Jane, nice to meet you and see you soon.\u201d Anna called as she waved them goodbye from the door way. Jane waved from the window and then the car was off down the road, Anna kept on waving until the car pulled out of sight.<br \/>\nClosing the door she lent up against the back of it and closed her eyes Wow! That was close! Saved by the honk I suppose. She smiled to herself.<br \/>\nWould have been an amazing kiss though. She thought with some longing, and with a sigh opened her eyes and looked around. Well this is it! Time to start my new life!<\/p>\n<p>Mike looked out of the rear view mirror at the most beautiful girl he had ever met slowly getting smaller as his mom drove them away. He thought about the kiss they nearly shared sighing a huge sigh he lent his head against the passenger side window wishing she were still in his arms.<br \/>\n\u201cAnd what is wrong with you mister?\u201d Asked his mom, although fully aware what troubled him but she needed to hear it from his own lips.<br \/>\n\u201cNothing really\u2026..\u201d he sighed again.<br \/>\n\u201cIt can\u2019t be nothing for you to be sighing like that.\u201d She pressed on.<br \/>\nHe turned to his mother and looked like a little lost boy.<br \/>\n\u201cMamma I\u2019m in trouble\u2026\u2026I think I\u2019m in love.\u201d He said with the goofiest smile spreading across his face.<br \/>\n\u201cAwe my boy.\u201d Jane reached over and ruffled his hair in a way only a mother can.<\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Chapter 3<\/h4>\n<p>It was a slow night and it was cold, there was a fine drizzle falling. The kind that gets you soaked right through to the bone.<br \/>\nTracey only had to make another 100 dollars then she could go home to the pimp and get her fix for the night, all she needed was three more punters and she was done.A car pulled up along side her but she kept on walking with a \u2018I don\u2019t really care you\u2019re there,\u2019 swagger to her small hips.<br \/>\n\u201cHey\u2026you doing business?\u201d asked a balding middle aged man from the window of his blue estate. You could smell stale beer from him, it made Tracey\u2019s nose wrinkle is distaste.<br \/>\n\u201cI might be.\u201d She said as she lent down and showed a bit more of the goods on display, her cleavage squeezed against the small red vest that she wore.<br \/>\n\u201cWell you is or you ain\u2019t!\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOkay Mister, I\u2019m working\u2026what do you want?\u201d Tracey sparked up a match and lit a cigarette took a long drag and blew the smoke into the driver\u2019s face.<br \/>\n\u201cI want a blow job\u2026.. and full sex.\u201d He said in a slightly hushed voice.<br \/>\n\u201cThat\u2019s going to cost you 60 bucks.\u201d <em>If I can get him for 60 then it\u2019s just one more job.<\/em> Tracey thought as she posed even sexier, she could see him eyeing her small bottom in his wing mirror.<br \/>\n\u201c$30 is my final offer.\u201d He showed her the cash thinking that she would be desperate enough to jump at the chance.<br \/>\n\u201cAnd I said $60! That\u2019s my final offer!\u201d Dropping the end of her cigarette and putting it out with her stiletto boot Tracey started to walk off, the curb crawler followed.<br \/>\n\u201cHey wait\u2026.what about $40?\u201d He was starting to sound desperate and she guessed he had a wife or girlfriend that wasn\u2019t putting out so he had to get it from somewhere else. She hated doing guys like them, they always wanted you to pretend that you were the wife or girlfriend.<br \/>\n\u201cSorry Mister. I said $60 and that\u2019s that!\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cFucking whore!\u201d he shouted as he sped off.<br \/>\n\u201cJust because I\u2019m a whore doesn\u2019t mean I have to be cheap!\u201d She screamed back.<br \/>\n\u201cFucker! Some people just want everything for nothing!\u201d She fumed and sparked up another cigarette.<\/p>\n<p>Across the road a car waits in the shadows and the occupants watch the exchange between the hooker and punter.\u201cI like the look of that one, she has fight\u2026..pull up next to her.\u201d Said the man from the back seat of the car. The driver nods silently to this command.<\/p>\n<p>Another car pulls up next to Tracey, it\u2019s a nice car, on closer inspection it\u2019s a very nice car. Blacked out windows and sliver rims and to top it off the car had what looked like a chauffeur! Time to put on the charm offensive.The window slides down electronically and Tracey leans in to the black hole that is the open window.<br \/>\n\u201cHey Mister, you after some fun?\u201d She batted her lashes and put her most seductive smile on.<br \/>\n\u201cI sure am little lady. Why don\u2019t you hop in and lets get this party started.\u201d<br \/>\nTracey couldn\u2019t see the face of the guy in the back of the car but he had a fine voice.<br \/>\n\u201cWe need to agree on a price first.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWhat do we say to\u2026.200 dollars for the rest of the night?\u201d He leaned forward just a bit, his face was still shadowed, there was a flash of dollar bills.<br \/>\nTracey\u2019s eyes grew wide just a little when she saw the money.<em>\u00a0One job and I\u2019m done!<\/em> She thought.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m all yours sugar!\u201d The driver got out of the drivers side, walked round to where Tracey was standing, she stood back and he opened the door for her.<br \/>\n\u201cWow! I feel like a lady.\u201d She said as she slipped in to the back of the car. The seats were made from black leather and you could almost smell how expensive the car was, she liked the way the leather felt underneath her hands, smooth and soft, most of all, it was warm, she had been so cold tonight.<br \/>\nThe car slipped away from the curb and made its way down the road, the rain had started to get heavier so Tracey was sure glad to be out of it.It was dark in the back of the car. Tracey sat facing the stranger and as he was sat back in the shadows she could just make out a little of his face but what she could see what pleased her. He was a young man, possibly aged about 29 or30. With dark hair, and a dark suit which was nicely tailored. The fabric looked expensive plus a crisp white shirt with mother of pearl buttons.<br \/>\n\u201cDriver, take us to that quiet place I like.\u201d The dark haired man told his driver.<br \/>\n\u201cYes Sir.\u201d The driver turned left at a junction and Tracey realised that they were going out of town, pressing her bag she made sure she had her maze spray, she did.<br \/>\n\u201cWhere are we going?\u201d She asked a little nervously which she tried to hide by looking slightly uninterested.<br \/>\n\u201cJust to a little motel I know\u2026. I\u2019m sure this will stop you from worrying.\u201d<br \/>\nTracey was suddenly showered with dollar bills, a lot more than the two hundred they had agreed.<br \/>\n\u201cWow\u2026.\u201d She laughed. \u201cI feel like that lady in that film, you know the one\u2026.were \u00a0she is doing the same job as me.\u201d She picked up some of the money, throws it in the air and giggles.<br \/>\n\u201cWould you like something to drink?\u201d Asked the man.<br \/>\nShe really wished he would sit forward; she wanted to see the eyes of the man that was going to fuck her.<br \/>\n\u201cUmm\u2026.yeah that would be great.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWill champagne be okay?\u201d there was a pop as the cork was released from the bottle.<br \/>\n\u201cChampagne! Why of course, I haven\u2019t had real champagne before.\u201d He handed her a glass of golden bubbles.<br \/>\n\u201cThis is real champagne, right?\u201d<br \/>\nHe laughed. \u201cOf course it is. I only have the best\u2026.that\u2019s why I chose you.\u201d<br \/>\nTracey sipped her champagne, it tasted amazing, so fruity and the bubbles tickled her nose as she drank. Tracey felt very special no punter had ever treated her so nicely.<em>Maybe this is it! My prince has found me and he\u2019s going to take me away from all this and we will be happy ever after!<\/em> She thought desperately.<br \/>\n\u201cOh I\u2019m the best alright, what would you like first\u2026.. I could do a little lap-dance to get you warmed up?\u201d Taking another small sip of her champagne she placed her glass in to the holder.<br \/>\nSliding off the leather seat on to the floor, she heard music start up quietly in the back ground from hidden speakers and smiled to herself, <em>the driver must be watching too<\/em>, this made her shiver a little.<br \/>\nTracey started to move in a provocative way, bringing her arms up over her head and swayed her small hips back and forth she brought her arms back down slowly sliding over her small breast, down her flat stomach to her thigh\u2019s, she caught the bottom of her little black skirt and slowly slid it up just enough to reveal the tops of black stockings and red suspender clips.<br \/>\nTracey moved closer keeping the skirt raised a little; she placed her hands on his knees and slid them slowly up his thigh\u2019s bringing her closer to his face. Tracey could see him a little clearer now and he was a good looking guy, cheeky eyes and a soft mouth which had a naughty little smile forming.<br \/>\n\u201cWhy don\u2019t you come and continue that dance\u2026\u2026 up here?.\u201d He said gesturing towards his lap with his finger.<br \/>\nShe slowly got up and straddled him with her legs, she put back her head and shook out her long dark hair whilst pushing her breasts forward so they were almost at his mouth level, she could feel his cool breath over her breasts making her nipples erect under her cotton bra.<br \/>\nShe felt his hands slide down her back toward her buttocks and felt his lips touch one of her nipples through the red vest and cotton bra that she wore, this made her gasp a little it was so gentle, normally punters didn\u2019t do gentle, this was different almost like he wanted to make sure she was warmed up before he got to excited.<br \/>\nHis hand slipped under her skirt and brushes the damp patch that was forming on the inside of her panties, she gave a tiny moan.<br \/>\n\u201cIt should be me\u2026\u2026 pleasuring you.\u201d Tracey said with a shudder.<br \/>\n\u201cOh you will.\u201d He said quietly as he cupped her breast and brought his mouth down on to it, she put her head back and let him take her to a point she had not been in a long time.<br \/>\nTracey felt him shift beneath her and then she was moving he had picked her up and was laying her on the back seat of the car.<br \/>\n\u201cWhat happened to the motel?\u201d She asked as he lowered himself on her.<br \/>\n\u201cDoes it matter?\u201d He said. She could feel his hard cock pressing against her leg but he made no move to take his pants off, <em>he was going to make this last as long as possible <\/em>she thought.<br \/>\n\u201cNot really.\u201d She sighed as he started to kiss her neck; she arched her body up against him<br \/>\n\u201cHummm\u2026. You smell good enough to eat.\u201d He murmured into her neck.<br \/>\n\u201cWhy don\u2019t you\u2026\u2026have a try then sugar?\u201d She said.<br \/>\nBut then she felt him move suddenly. She opened her eyes quickly and saw him looking down at her with a twisted smile on his face. His hand came down hard on her mouth. Eyes wide in terror she tried to scream.<br \/>\nThere was a flash of silver and a sharp sting across her throat, and then a spray of crimson came which hit the man in the face. He closed his eyes and licked his lips as the blood touched his mouth.<br \/>\nTracey couldn\u2019t quite understand what was happening. Her throat hurt and there was blood. She couldn\u2019t move her arms to check if the blood was from her. He knelt on her hands and wrists, and in panic she thrashed beneath him.<br \/>\n\u201cThat\u2019s it baby, you do that\u2026.the more you struggle, the more you bleed.\u201d He whispered in her ear.<br \/>\nThe blood gushed even more as her heart beat faster.<em> Oh my god! It\u2019s my blood; this can\u2019t be happening he was meant to take me away!<\/em><br \/>\nShe could feel her self getting weaker as her blood gushed from her body taking with it her life, she tried again to scream but all that came out was a gurgling sound as the blood ran in to her throat stopping the scream from forming.<br \/>\nTracey could feel his mouth against the cut that had been made across her throat; he was licking and drinking the blood. She could feel her self slipping away and she watched as her short 19 years of life danced across her eyes.<br \/>\nHe raised he head up from the gash he had made across her neck; blood dripped from his mouth and face, it ran down the front of his white shirt making a terrible mess.<br \/>\n<em>How am I going to get this out?<\/em> He thought.<br \/>\nHe sat back wiping his mouth against the arm of his jacket and pushed the body of the dead girl to the floor of the car. She fell in a crumpled heap at his feet.<br \/>\nHe picked up the champagne glass and drained it off in one.<br \/>\n\u201cPull up here.\u201d He told the driver.
