Overlooked Fate ~ Sequel

Chapter 26 ~ RUN!

Marella's P.O.V

Marella nervously gulped as she pressed her back up against the wall while holding Stowy in her hands.

"What do you want?!" Marella spat, trying to hold back her fear as the gun pointed right at her head.

"More like what do you want? Since you're barging in and searching in my room," the guy countered.

"I want you to leave us alone! Or you'll pay!" Marella threatened.

The guy tilted his head, the hood still covering his face so Marella couldn't quite make out his facial features. "You're quite foolish to be shouting at me. Remember, I'm the one with the gun."

Before Marella could shout another thing, there were loud footsteps coming from around the corner.

Marella and Dex jumped when the huge janitor from earlier popped out and spotted them.

"HEY! YOU DIDN'T DO ANY OF THE ROOMS I ASSIGNED YOU TO!" The janitor bellowed, starting to charge towards them.

"Oh not him again!" Dex cried out.

Before Marella could react, Stowy jumped out of her hands and bit the Neverseen guy right in the leg.

The man yelped and clutched his leg while Marella, Dex, and Wylie took that as a distraction to start sprinting away.
Marella made sure she grabbed Stowy so he wasn't left behind.

Unfortunately, the guy recovered fast and was after them not too far behind. And he wasn't the only one after them.

"What is happening?!" Wylie asked, looking so confused while huffing and puffing.

"We got an angry Neverseen and janitor dude after us! No time to explain, just run!" Dex exclaimed, struggling to keep up with his metal leg.

Marella then made the mistake of looking back which caused her to trip over her feet and face plant of the ground.

Dex screeched to a stop beside her and saw the janitor and the guy gaining on them so he shouted at the janitor, "HEY! THIS MAN SAYS HE IS GOING TO FIRE YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID TO US!"

Dex then pointed at the Neverseen dude which caused the janitor to screech to a stop and angrily turn to face the Neverseen guy.

"What? The kid's lying!" The guy defended.

But the janitor took no chances and started to charge at the man.

"C'mon! This will buy us a few seconds!" Dex said, helping Marella up.

They then looped back around to where they were originally at, where the janitor cart still stood.

They stopped for a second to catch their breath.

"Guys, you have some serious explaining to do," Wylie huffed.

"Let's worry about that later! Now, we have to tell Edaline and Grady that we need to get out of here quick and find some other place to stay. Somewhere where we know this dude isn't following us too," Marella said.

"Okay we need—"

"GOT YOUUUU!" A loud voice yelled, cutting off Dex.

Marella looked up and shrieked when she saw the janitor had picked up Dex by his shirt and looked ready to throw Dex across the room.

"Please sir! I didn't mean any harm!" Dex exclaimed helplessly.

Without hesitating, Marella grabbed the janitor cart and shoved it right into the janitor, causing him to stumble back and drop Dex.
