My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Tremaine grabbed Yesseca's hand and ran forward. The whole carriage was on fire. Yesseca was so petrified that she didn't dare to enter the fiery pit in front of her. Tremaine dragged her by the hand and finally brought her towards the ladder at the end of the carriage. Tremaine pushed open the fire escape door above the ladder. They climbed up onto the roof of the burning carriage.

The train was still speeding ahead, the wind rushing past them.

Tremaine looked at Yesseca and spoke in a rushed tone, "Follow me and jump down,"

Yesseca took a step back. "I don't want to jump."

The train was moving way too fast, and it was so high up. She thought she would definitely die if she jumped down.

The blazing fire was getting closer to them.

Tremaine's eyes turned chilly.

There was no more time!

Tremaine quickly picked Yesseca up. As she yelped in surprise, Tremaine jumped off the train.

When Sheldon heard the first gunshot, he realized that something had happened.

He immediately ran out to look for Tremaine, but the carriage had been set on fire.

He could have jumped off the train, but he didn't.

He had to find Tremaine.

He was a soldier, and it was his duty to protect Tremaine.

When Sheldon rushed towards the dining carriage, he noticed that Tremaine wasn't there, but the emergency fire door above the ladder was open. Sheldon heaved a sigh of relief.

It looks like Tremaine managed to jump off the train.

The train then turned into a blazing cage around Sheldon. He was preparing to jump off when he heard someone.

It was a woman's voice.

A strangely familiar woman's voice.

It was coming from the other carriage.

Sheldon hesitated for a moment, then rushed over.

There really was a woman.

She was crouched on the ground, shivering. She had tears streaming down her cheeks and her face looked dark. She was lucky to have survived the assault by simply staying here.

Sheldon didn't know this woman.

He had no idea how she even got on the train.

He didn't have the time to think about it now.

He grabbed the woman's hand. "Can't you see how fierce the fire is? Come on, or you'll die here!"

Sheldon picked Preslie up to her feet.

He then held her hand and pulled her along as he ran.

She was so petrified from everything that was going on that she couldn't move. She could only crouch on the ground and tremble in fear. Until Sheldon appeared, that was.

At that moment, Preslie thought that Sheldon was a god.

A heavenly being sent from heaven.

Sheldon ran towards the carriage door with Preslie.

He ordered with a commanding tone. "Jump."

Her legs were shaking. "I... I... I don't dare to. I don't want to jump."

Just as she said this, she suddenly felt a strong push from behind her.

Preslie had been kicked off the train by Sheldon.

Sheldon then jumped off right after.

Preslie thought that she was going to die.

After getting kicked by Sheldon, she felt the wind blowing against her ears. Right at that moment, she felt the entire world had stopped.

She thought that she had died.

She had to be dead.

Thump!

She landed heavily on the ground.

She just happened to have landed on her head. She felt her soul leave her body.

She thought, "Have I died and gone to heaven?"

God was so unfair.

She got on this train to find her friend, and now she was dead.

She hadn't even gone on a date before and she also hadn't managed to lose weight yet. She couldn't die yet.

As she was immersed in the eternal darkness, she suddenly heard a loud thump beside her.

Preslie felt something heavy land on top of her.

When Sheldon jumped off the train, he landed on Preslie.

Both of their bodies were intertwined and their lips touched.

Preslie was speechless.

She opened her eyes wide and stared at the man who was pressing down on her. Sheldon was staring at her too.

He was a soldier. It wasn't a big deal for him to jump off a train. He didn't expect to fall on a woman however Sheldon didn't get a good look at the woman when he rescued her earlier. He just noticed that she hado beautiful eyes.

Her eyelashes were rounded and long.

Sheldon stared at her for quite some time.

When he composed himself, he quickly said, "Excuse me,"

Preslie was quiet.

When Sheldon landed on top of her, she felt the pain of his weight on her, but when Sheldon stared deep into her eyes, her face flushed red and her heart throbbed wildly. She then realized that she was still alive. Preslie struggled to get up on her feet.

The fall might have hurt her a lot more than she thought. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stand up.

Sheldon reached his hand out in embarrassment.

Under the faint moonlight, the man's hand looked extremely attractive. His hands were long and slender. He looked especially attractive in his military uniform.

Preslie gulped.

She reached out her hand.

Sheldon pulled Preslie up.

Attempting to cover up her embarrassment, Preslie said dryly, "Thank you, sorry. I'm pretty fat, that's why it's hard for me to get up,"

Sheldon frowned.

Her voice sounded very familiar.

He kept staring at Preslie.

Preslie felt nervous when she felt the

man's eye examining her closely as though he was taking an X-ray of her entire body. Taking a step back, she said, "Why are you staring at me like that? I'm not doing anything wrong,"

Her words were stuck in her throat.

She suddenly felt like there was something familiar with this man.

She had seen him somewhere before.

The question was, where?

She thought really hard about it.

Then, a thought flashed across her mind.

She remembered where she had met him.

Wasn't this the same man she met on the street the other night with Yesseca? She accidentally tossed her taco at him and soiled his pants.

"It's you!" Preslie called out in surprise.

"So it's you!" Sheldon called out at the same time.

Preslie's heart was pounding.

The last time she saw him, she

didn't get a good look at his face because she was panicking.

However now that he was right inet

front of her, she thought that he actually looked quite handsome. Now that he was in his military uniform, he looked even more handsome than before.

He looked just like a heroic soldier that you'd see on a television show.

She said, "You're so handsome,"

Sheldon was speechless.

He never expected that this woman could say something so brazen even at a time like this.

Frowning, he asked, "What were you doing on the train?"

His cold tone snapped her out of her daze.

What was she doing on the train?

Right, she was looking for someone.

She was looking for Yesseca.

But where did Yesseca run off to?

Preslie was in such panic that she started to cry. "I was... I was looking for... Yesseca... Yesseca..."

As soon as she said that, a burst of intense gunfire blared out in their direction.

Sheldon's face fell.

He immediately grabbed Preslie and brought her down to the ground.

She struggled to get back up.
