My chosen Mate

　　Angelas pov

　　"Angela, Erica wake up we have to leave here" my mom said in a sharp voice.

　　I was sleeping when I heard my mom voice, I thought she went to the market.

　　"Where are we going to?" I asked my mom with sleepy eyes.

　　"We are leaving here right now" she said.

　　I stood up from the bed confused, "mom, what do you mean by that?"

　　"Wake Erica up we have to leave this place now" she said again.

　　"What happened?" I asked curiously but she did not reply.

　　"Mom" I called her, but she did not reply she started packing our bags. I gave up and went to meet Erica.

　　I walked towards her bed and tapped her back "Erica wake up." I said with a sad face.

　　"What is it? I want to sleep more." she said rubbing her eyes.

　　"Get up it very serious." I said still tapping her.

　　"You can tell me later Im not in the mood for that now I only wants to sleep." she said and slept back.

　　"Mom said we have to leave here now." I said and left her alone.

　　She stood up from the bed slowly "why mom?" Erica asked almost crying.

　　"This place is not safe for us." she said.

　　"Are you owing anyone?" Erica asked confused.

　　"Some men are after Angelas life?" My mom said.

　　Fear gripped me "Me,?"

　　"Why will they be after me?" I asked almost in a whisper.

　　"Why are they looking for her she has not done anything wrong to anyone?" Erica said because it wasnt making any sense to her.

　　" I will explain everything to the both of you when we get out of here" Sarah replied. She smiled and continued what she was doing.

　　"I have not done anything to hurt anyone so why will they be after me." I muttered to myself.

　　The whole situation was getting me fustrated.

　　I know my mom wont do anything to hurt me, I have lived with her all my life. She took care of me even though I was not her daughter.

　　She even loved me more than her daughter Erica who is my friend.

　　She told me my mother died while giving birth to me, because of the shock of my fathers death. Erica and I have a lot of memories here. I was so lost in thought when I heard my name.

　　"Angela be fast with whatever you are doing?" My mom said.

　　"Can we take our bath at least? I look so dirty" she said smiling.

　　"No, dont you understand what Im saying, we are in danger?" My mom said she was getting angry. Erica and I looked at each other.

　　We decided to help her arrange the bag, We were done with everything and was about to leave the house.

　　I looked at the house again as we were about to leave.

　　Erica and my mom went outside leaving me behind. "Angela lets go" Erica said

　　"Im coming" I replied and closed the door.

　　Our neighbors were surprised to see us leave, "where are you going to?." One of them asked. I turned and looked at my mom waiting for her to reply.

　　"We are going to visit our family members." Sarah said smiling.

　　I was shocked when my mom replied does she really need to lie?

　　When we got to the junction to get a cab I saw some men in black. They looked so scary. They were looking so suspicious.

　　"Who are these people?." I muttered to myself

　　I kept on looking at them then I noticed they were holding a sketch of me, fear gripped me.

　　"Why are they holding a sketch of me? I dont even know these people. I think these are the people my mom was talking about.

　　I held my moms hand tight. I was so scared. "What is wrong?." My mom asked.

　　"They are at our back." I said almost crying.

　　"Who are they?."My mom asked,

　　"They are holding a sketch of me." I said shaking, my mom looked back and saw them. Erica also saw them and she looked at me with fear.

　　"We have to get a cab fast," Erica said.

　　"Yes," I replied.

　　But there was no cab coming our way, they were towards our direction. Erica removed her scarf.

　　"Take cover your face so they wont recognize" Erica said I collected it from her and covered my face.

　　"Thank you." I said with a smile but I was still very afraid.

　　"Have you seen this gir?l" one of them asked.

　　"No." Erica nodded.

　　"Thank you." the man said and left.

　　"Where could she be? I thought she lives in this area, one of the men said.

　　I was so relieved when he left our side.

　　"Why is it taking so long for the cab to come?" Erica said angrily.

　　Another one came to meet us "have you seen this girls face before?" The man asked.

　　"No," Erica replied with a smile.

　　My mom and Erica had to cover their faces so we wouldnt look suspicious because I was the only one covering my face.

　　The men on black were looking at us, I think they noticed something suspicious about the way we dressed.

　　We saw a cab but he was carrying a passenger. Finally we saw an empty cab and we stopped it.

　　We put all our stuff in the booth of the car and entered the car and the driver zoomed off.

　　"Are you okay?" My mom asked,

　　"Yes mom" I replied with a smile.

　　"Why are these people looking for me?" I asked myself.

　　"Does this have to do with my real parents?" I was so confused. But mom said my parents were good people, so why will they be after me because of my parents.

　　Maybe the girl on the sketch just looks like me but she has the same mark I have on my face.

　　My head was aching already. My gaze went to Erica, she was sleeping so peacefully,I wish I could sleep right now.

　　I tried closing my eyes but when I close my eyes I will see the men on black. I tried again but the same thing repeated.

　　My mom was awake but it seems like she was lost in thought, "what could be bothering her?" I asked myself. I know she will be worried about me.

　　I looked back and noticed a car was following us. I thought I was imagining things but I looked back again and they were truly following us.

　　"Mom, I think they are following us" I said as fear gripped me.
