The Urban Princesses: Snow White

Chapter 5

I rifled through my purse to find my phone.

I walked inside and closed the door. I thought the thieves has left, but a man dressed in black with a ski mask walked around the corner and saw me.

"Found her!" He yelled.

Two other men came around the corner with two big knives in their hand.

"Please! I promise I won't tell!" I pleaded.

I started crying.

One of the men put a knife up to my throat when another man came down the stairs.

"Stop!" He yelled. I recognized his voice.

"Go out to the van. I will take care of this."

The men obeyed and walked out the back door.

The man came down the stairs.

"Please. I won't tell. If you just let me go-"

"Leave. Go. Somebody wants you dead. I won't kill you. I can't kill you. Don't come back. You will be in so much danger." He explained.

I nodded and stumbled out the door.

I tried to get out as fast as I could. I grabbed my bike and rode it thirty miles per hour. I had to get out of there.

Who wanted my dead? And why? I didn't know where I was going I was just riding.

It started to get dark. I didn't know where I was. I stopped at a gas station to see what I had. My cellphone, a pack of gum, lipstick, a granola bar, and fifty dollars. I ate the granola bar.

I didn't know how much food I would need, but I decided to buy five dollars worth of some of the cheapest food. I bought a cup of coffee, a bag of chips, a turkey sandwich, and mentos.

I drank the coffee. I was going to need it. I thought of stopping at a hotel, but I didn't have enough money. So I was going to ride until I came up with an idea.

I rode in small neighborhoods, trying to find available rooms, when I came to a dead end that looked deserted.

One of the houses door was opened. I parked my bike in the road and peeked inside. There was nobody there.

I walked in and closed the door behind me. It was warm. It was a surprisingly large house. I noticed a few Greek letters around the house. I was too tired to think of what they were. The house looked like it had been deserted for a while so I didn't worry about getting caught.

I ran upstairs and found a few bedrooms.

I found a bedroom in the back of the house and decided to sleep there. My eyes were closed before my head hit the pillow.

"Just leave her there."

"Dude! She's in my bed!"

"You can sleep in my bed. I don't mind sleeping with her."

"Oh shut up, Rocky! You're just jealous because you don't have a girlfriend!"

"I think we should call the cops."

"No, we can't do that. She is too young. Poor thing slept here for a good reason."

"So what do you suggest we do?"

I opened my eyes a crack. I saw seven men standing around me. They were all wearing white togas and looked in their twenties.

I opened my eyes all the way and sat up.

"She's awake!" One of them said.

"Who are you?" Another one asked.
