Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 64

*****Jace's POV*****

Who were these people? How had they known where to find me? It would seem they had been lying in wait for me. This was an ambush, they were not here to steal from me. If they wanted to, they would not have bothered shooting at me this way. Their plan was to kill me.

But who could have sent them? Was it the same people who wanted to kill Erika? But even at that, how had they known exactly where and how to get me? No one would have guessed it right. I had told no one, not even the doctor knew.

I checked my arm, it was bleeding. The wound was not deep, just the surface. But it was hurting me nonetheless. I remembered I had a tissue somewhere, I opened one of my small bags at the back of the seat.

I wiped the surface of the wound with the tissues I had finally found. I had a first aid kit inside one of my bags but there was no time to check which it was in right at that moment. There was no way to move this car. And I could not escape from here with all my bags.

I was suddenly regretting why I had not remained on the major road, I just had to take a detour. But who would blame me? I was trying to avoid being seen. I sighed. That was useless, I was seen already.

They had come for my life. Maybe they were gone, they probably thought I was dead. But I was too far into this lonely path to just turn back, it was going to be a long walk by foot.

The windows of my car were half shattered by bullets, I was still at risk. I peeped through the front window, everywhere was lonely. Not a soul walked the path.

I thought of calling Erika to send one of the guards to bring me another car and possibly, an escort but I thought against the idea. I was not going to let them know.

My phone rang. I quickly put it on silent before anyone would hear it ring. They might know I was not dead and if they tried to shoot again, they would surely get me this time. The phone stopped ringing, then started seconds later again.

I looked at the caller ID. Erika. I busied it. It rang again. Kat. I could not bring myself to busy hers so I left it to keep buzzing. By the time my phone had finally stopped buzzing, I had like eleven missed calls.
