Enemies to Lover
Don't

I gulped down the coffee after I finished a plate of barbecue ribs and wiped my mouth clean with a napkin, my hair suddenly stood up and I turned to see a bald guy in black combat gear watching me across the street, the way he was watching me made me nervous, I needed to get outta here quick, standing up, I kept looking at the bald guy from the corner of my eye, he propped himself on a black sedan and I waited for him to take his eyes off me but he still watched me, cursing in fear, I walked out of the restaurant acting like nothing was wrong as I turned back I saw the ugly bald guy leaning towards the sedan window and pointing at me, it looked like he was talking to someone in the car, sensing an opportunity, I turned and ran away at full speed, I ran to the company I worked and rushed to Mr. Ryel's office, he sat on his swivel chair chewing his favorite gum, he raised his head from his computer screen when I rushed in. "Hey Mila, what's............he stopped when he saw my face, "What's wrong Mila?" he asked

"I saw a bald guy, watching me across Bills and Meals restaurant, he didn't look to be alone" I said panting, Ryel muttered a curse in what sounded like French, I made a mental note to ask him later, he shut down his computer and grabbed his phone

"I need backup now, they are here" he said to the phone and ended the call, he turned to me, "Just stay with me Mila, we are gonna be fine" he assured and I nodded and glanced outside, more of the sedan were outside now and the bald guy in combat gear pointed at the building, my eyes bugged when I saw them slip out guns, they looked to be getting ready to breach the building, I tapped Mr. Ryel.

"Umm, I think you should see this I pointed and he suddenly looked very worried, he grabbed his phone to make a call when hell broke loose, the noise of gunfire seemed to be everywhere,

"Get down!" Mr. Ryel yelled and I threw myself to the ground, the door blasted open and a dude with a rifle walked in and saluted Mr. Ryel who slumped in relief. "Status?" Mr. Ryel asked

"Bad" the guy replied, "We are holding them off for....... ......." the building shook interrupting him, the guy frowned, "Delta, do you copy" he said but no response.

Mr. Ryel's face hardened, "We have to protect her" he said to the dude who nodded but before he could move he was sent flying back by the impact of a bullet and the door blasted open and men in black combat boots flooded the office. One of them removed his mask and it's was the bald guy from earlier, he smiled evilly at Ryel.

"Nice to meet you Ryel, the legendary hunter, heard you retired, come on! don't be shy show the girl your skills, and yes Mr. Steffan sent his regards, he says he wants her alive, so calmly step aside in peace we honestly don't want blood in your luxurious office" the bald guy said

"You don't want blood?" Ryel growled, "And you killed my entire team, Kosvo" Ryel yelled, but the bald guy, Kosvo, just smiled, crazily.

"They resisted, dear old Ryel, same fate might happen to you if you resist too, just hand her over, what has she ever given to you that you kept her from us all this.. and flipped it, in the blink of an eye, it was a sword and he sliced off Kosvo's head, I nearly vomited at the sight.

." before Kosvo could finish his statement Mr. Ryel slipped out a coin

"Run!" Me Ryel yelled and he sliced bullets out of the air as Kosvo's men opened fire, he charged upfront and took out two, creating an opening for me. I burst through and ran, the last thing I saw was Mr. Ryel kick up a round piece of metal and use it as a shield.

I ran following the back exit and I turned a corner to meet a man surrounded by men in the same black combat gears as the ones earlier, instantly my hairs stood on end I knew this was the real deal. The man clapped when he saw me, he was creepy in a way, he was not ugly but his eyes looked wild and mad.

"Oh Mila dear, I am Steffan, I am so pleased to finally meet you, after years of searching, you truly know how to hide, or was it Ryel? Oh my men will deal with him for sure and if he escapes that......., you see these men here" he gestured to the men behind him, "They aren't men, Ryel wouldn't stand a chance, Bullock!" he called and one of the masked men stepped forward, "Show her" he said smiling, and the masked man nodded and slipped off his mask, and the most ugly face I have ever seen came in view, his skin was green, he grinned widely at me, and fangs were evident in his mouth, on his head were small horns.

"So you see no one can save you now, you can't escape, I too am not human, see" he said, and his eyes turned yellow and he started to shrink, his clothes started to rip, and I could hear bones cracking, within minutes, a huge black wolf stood in front of me, and as I blinked, it slowly morphed back to Steffan, naked, and I averted my eyes, he chuckled and his men gave him new clothes which he slipped on, I stood watching while racking my brain on how to escape, Steffan regarded

me.

"You can't escape me, Mila, so stop trying.

"I think you are wrong" a familiar deep voice said and everyone turned to look, and my heart soared, it was the guy from the restaurant, who I crashed into, "I am taking the lady with me, Steffan," he said, I wisely went to stand behind him in case these beasts opened fire.

Steffan's eyes got wilder, and he looked really furious, "Bullock" he roared, "Kill this prick."

The ugly thing named Bullock charged at the guy who stood calmly. As Bullock reached him, he grabbed Bullock's outstretched fist and tore it clean off his wrist. Bullock yelled out in pain, and before Bullock could recover, the guy snapped his neck. The rest opened fire, the guy caught one, and the rest bounced off his body,

"I got you" he said, and I nodded, he threw something over to Steffan and his cronies side, and suddenly I couldn't see, a strong hand grabbed me and leaped, I opened my mouth to scream.

"Don't, it's me" came the handsome guy's deep voice. When my vision cleared, we were on a deserted street with no threat in sight. I stared at his angelic hard, chiseled face. "Thank you" I whispered, and his stormy green eyes softened
