Nephilim and the Nun novel Chapter 13

Quinn:

Why was the woman everywhere I went? I questioned myself.

My eyes darted to the two men with her. I couldn't recognize them but they were holding guns and the woman was tied up. There was a shovel on the ground beside a fresh grave they must have dug to bury her. There were also two flashlights on the ground.

While they were still frozen to the spot, I took the guns from the men and shot them in the head. Next, I untied the woman. Thereafter, I unfroze them and the men fell to the ground, dying on the spot.

The woman's eyes widened, unable to comprehend what had just happened. She looked from one man to another before her eyes finally landed on me. 

"You". She exclaimed, in annoyance.

And here I was, thinking she'd be grateful. My subconscious asserted.

"You're welcome". I muttered, a scowl marring my face.

"Do you follow me everywhere I go?". She asked, frowning. I couldn't help but notice the way her lips formed into a pout.

"I should be asking you that". I looked down at her. She was still seated on the floor but she wasn't dressed like a nun. Instead, she was wearing denim shorts that stopped mid-thigh, a tank top, and sneakers. This time around, her hair was the wavy blonde I'd seen on her phone. "What business did you have with these men?". I gestured towards the bodies on the floor, eyes staring intently into hers.

"That's none of your business". She spat out in a harsh voice.

I smirked in response. If only she knew I was aware already. While I stared into her eyes, I took that time to scan her. I remained silent, as I continued scanning her till I got what I was after. The information I discovered wiped my smirk from my face.

The men were sent to assassinate her by father Eliot. He was her biological father. 

I narrowed my eyes at her, trying to make sense of the information. I knew the man was a monster but to the extent of wanting to kill his daughter? Again, how doesn't the church know he has a daughter?

I could only get one conclusion. He hid it to remain a priest.

"I'd appreciate it if you stop looking at me like the weirdo you are and show me a way out of here".

Her silky voice broke my reverie.

"You're in the middle of nowhere and wouldn't be able to find your way out this late". I finally took my eyes off her.

The discovery of her being Elliot's daughter still hovered around my head.

"What are you even doing here?".

"You advised me to run, didn't you? Well, I live here now".

She barked out a laugh.

"Wow, you must want to live". She said, still laughing. Her eyes wandered around the forest that was dead quiet. For a moment, I saw fear registering in her eyes but it was gone as soon as it'd appeared.

Her eyes wandered to the dead men and she gulped before returning her eyes to me. They were much softer than they'd been. It was almost as if she was about to cry but she swallowed back the tears.

"T-thanks for saving me". She muttered in a low voice, returning her gaze to the ground.
