That's a stupid way to die

I exhaled walking through the little city. It was a beautiful place honestly,I'm surprised that kinda jerk owns this place,I mean how can he be able to pull this up?

Oh well probably an inheritance from his daddy.

I walked passed the fountains, the gardens, everything here was perfect. This whole city was perfect.

This was just how my father's Empire was like. Everyone lived happily and peaceful, life was all rosy...all until Mario's attack on our city...all until the war.

I wished everything would just go back to normal,I wish I would wake up one day back in our Empire,the empire that I was supposed to take over rightfully...but that's all an illusion.... now I just have to survive and stay alive and away from Mario.

I approached a small hut and saw these two kids fighting over a baseball...I remembered when my little brother and I use to fight over irrelevant stuffs and my mother will always tell me to stop fighting and show more love.

Now I wish I can even get to see my brother... even if it is one more time.

I blinked back the tears that threatened to fall.

I kept on walking till I found the city gate.

I exhaled again... for a few hours of my life...I felt safe, me leaving the walls of this city is Me going back to my worries,my problems,my running...my death.

I walked out of the gate.

Then again,I went back to my usual life of survival... living in abandoned houses in the woods, surviving by fruits and nuts, hiding, running...fear.

I got a plan to escape the country...all I just needed was a camouflage and some help. If I could get into one of the containers that's been shipped out,I'll be able to survive there a day or two and be out.

After a week of strategizing my plan,I set out to work.

Late at night, I snuck into the harbour and hid myself in one of the containers that was set to be shipped by the next morning.

I sat there in the dark in between these goods praying that no one would see me.

I paused a little bit and wondered what exactly this was...I opened one of the boxes and guess what I saw... over a hundred guns filled with bullets.

Whoever this was could probably be a Mafian or so.

Then,I started hearing voices... and they were coming towards my direction.

I grabbed one of the guns and hid behind one of the tall boxes.

"Someone has tampered with the boxes,they were all closed by this afternoon I swear sir" I heard someone say.

I heard a long sigh...

"Check around,incase anything else is missing" I heard another person say.

I started hearing footsteps....my heart beat increasing rapidly.

I heard slow footsteps heading my way...I was sweating seriously,I was managing to keep my breath intact and held unto the gun, ready to strike.

Then the footsteps began to go and my heart beat started returning back to normal.

Just when they were about to leave,the gun fell off my hands with a loud thud. I flinched immediately and knew they were coming my direction.

I immediately grabbed the gun and stood up swiftly and pointed it towards them.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

Guess who it was...

Yeah, you guessed right...

The Mafian boss himself.

And his other friend.

I slowly lowered my gun down getting my breath back.

"I'm...I'm...I'm.."

"I thought you said you weren't a spy? what are you doing in my shipped goods? what? you want to go give your boss informations?" he asked very much pissed.

"No no...it's not..it's not like..."

"So then what? fuck and I literally led you into my home, how much information do you have already?!!"

"I don't...I don't have any..."

"Who are you working for? what's your deal anyway?!"

"I'm not...I just wanted to..."

"Wait till I send a message across".

He said turning around to leave.

I don't know what exactly pushed me but I just did exactly what I did.

"Do that and I'm putting this bullet through my head" I said lifting the gun to my head.

He chuckled and turned around and looked at me.

What was I thinking!!!!

"Do you really think killing yourself is going to be of any disadvantage to me?"

"Look I rather kill myself right now than allow you to just sell me out like that...not now when I'm finally able to get my freedom!" I said with my voice rising.

"Who the hell are you and what do you want?" he asked coldly.

"Freedom!!! I want my freedom!! do you think running and hiding and struggling to live everyday is something I enjoy doing??!! do you think it's fun living in the shadows afraid to come out... afraid to trust anyone..not knowing who your enemies are....all I just want is to get out of this place for good and you'll never see me again...

You think I'm a spy?!!

You think I'm out to get you?!!

you're the least person on my mind Currently!! this is just a coincidence that I'm meeting you here, I'm just looking for a way to get out of this country this night.

I've been a slave to something that I've been running away from for the past 4 freaken years...so please...if you want to sell me out to the same people who I've been running away from, then just tell me right now and let me just end my life and all this suffering!!!"

I was shouting... screaming... fighting tears... begging my body to cooperate with my words... stopping myself from crying.

I didn't cry...I was happy I didn't cry...

I was able to control myself but be very plain .

He was quiet...too quiet... his friend...I could see sympathy in his friends eyes...

He sighed and ran his hands through his hair.

"Drop the gun" he said rubbing his temples.

"I'm not dropping this until I'm sure that I'm not gonna die by another person's hands" I said firmly.

"Drop the freaken gun for god sake, you can't get out of this country alive geez. This is like a stupid way to die, they'll find you here. And once they do they'll think you're a run away or something and send a message round and you get captured again. So think of a better way to get out" he said.

I paused and dropped the gun slowly.

"Help me" I said.

"What?" he said giving a sarcastic laugh.

"Just please help me okay, just please" I said.

"It's not as easy as you think, you're wanted as you said and that means everyone here on the dock knows you, and all the goods here are checked thoroughly, like your idea is pretty dumb" he said.

"You're a Mafian boss, you can help me do something, or anything, just please help me,I'll be indebted to you for life I swear" I pleaded.

He groaned.

"Dude c'mon, just let's see what we can do to help, c'mon". his friend said.

"I don't even know her, I can't just trust a stranger, I mean gosh I don't even know her name..."

"Bella...my name is Bella just please help me out" I said.

I know Mafian bosses are usually very ruthless and heartless, but this is just too much,I mean I've seen nice ones, my dad was the nicest of them all.

He rolled his eyes.

"Well it can't be this night... can't even be this week or month, it might take a really long time" he said.

"She can stay with us for the mean time" his friend said.

"What the fu-?"

"No seriously, she can" his friend said again.

He sighed defeated.

"I don't need any liability with me right now"he said.

"Uhhhh...I can actually help with a lot of stuffs, I can cook I can clean,I can cook and clean...I can ...I can...I can do whatever you want me to do,I promise" I said.

"Well we do kinda need a new cook" his friend said.

He rolled his eyes"Don't fuck this up,I mean it" he said and turned to leave.

Then , the door opened and I quickly turned around to avoid the person from seeing me.

"Is everything okay sir?" the voice asked.

There was a moment of silence... this was the time he either sells me out,or he saves me.

"Yeah everything is perfectly fine,get to your station" he said.

I turned around and gave a small smile,he didn't look back,he left.

His friend looked at me and gave me a small smile.

I mouthed a thank you,he nodded.

I just hope things actually work out as planned...and I hope he doesn't know Mario too,cuz if he does...I'm done for
