Hugh seemed very relaxed while speaking, making me wonder why. "Hugh you’re scaring me," I admitted to his hearing, my voice slightly shaky. He shifted from his initial spot. "I'm trying not to give our guard any reason to suspect a thing." He replied calmly. "You should do the same.I nodded and flashed a smile that was in no way close to my heart. "We have to leave tonight," Hugh thought out loud. I adjusted in my seat, startled at his words. "We’re not going anywhere.""You need to pack a bag. We have to leave tonight. One of the night guards usually falls asleep against the tree. We’ll sneak past him when he does and follow the road from the woods and flag someone down on the highway. We’ll have to hitch a ride out of here. It's for your own safety.""We’re not going anywhere tonight," I repeated. "This is ridiculous. You’re upset and paranoid. Everything will be better when you take time to relax. I've told you that I don't need saving and since

Hollis swore successively and pleaded, "Ugo please get out. Your fingerprint has been registered. Press it on the scanner below the dining table. Drag Castel with you! What the fuck!" He screamed and the line went dead. I looked at the phone and handed it over to Castello. He examined it. "Battery’s fucking dead. I forgot to charge it, " he confessed and put the useless phone back in his pocket. He tapped the scanner under the table and started barking instructions. "Step into the basement, it will lead you to a long walkway that goes straight up." He pushed chips, biscuits and two cans of water into a bag for me."Follow the pathway straight ahead. Once you come to the end of the road, you'll see a drainage cover above. Push it open and head straight. Do not deviate. Keep straight and in twenty or forty minutes max, you'll come to a brown cabin with a dark roof and pine trees behind. Scan your finger on the scanner under the doormat. That should take you inside

Branches slashed me in the face, and I pummeled full speed into a few tree trunks. I couldn’t see more than two feet in front of me, but I saw the flight lights getting closer, so I didn’t stop. I kept running, often tripping over fallen logs and bushes and skeletons. My legs were getting severely scratched and bruised. My hands were tattered. The adrenaline was pumping too fast for me to feel much, but after a while, my burning lungs were also starting to plot against me. Though my mind continued to speed through, my body was slowly giving up. When my shoulder hit an unseen tree limb, I fell backwards to the ground, and the back of my head hit the hard ground. I forced myself to get up but just fell forward on my hands and couldn’t go on anymore. The forest was dark, the moon was unable to do much for me at this point because it was covered by tree branches. So, it was reflecting off the treetops. Slowly, the torchlights started diminishing. I heard footsteps stomping f

I could feel the throbbing in my bruised and bloodied legs. I could also feel the fear and the pain that was lingering deep, slowly rising to the surface. I wrapped myself in the towel that Hollis had left for me and walked out to the small living room where he was standing at the edge deep in a phone conversation. His expression was dead serious, and I knew not to disturb him. I walked into the bedroom, he had already set out some clothes on the bed for me. Like a robot, I dressed myself. I soon heard the sound of the shower and I knew Hollis had gone to wash up.The clothes I had on smelled like him. By the time I was completely dressed, he was out of the shower, dressed already in jeans; his upper body was shirtless. He looked miserable and I could feel my drowned emotions already bubbling up. I strolled back to the living room, there was a heater present, so I felt it was best to stay there and get myself warmed up. I watched Hollis walk to the stove where the kettle was now b

"What?" I jolted up. Not sure what pained me most. What he said, or the fact that he dropped me down. "But it's not even up to a year." I reminded him, in case he's forgotten."Yeah, and I'm letting you go." He said.I shook my head, walking to meet him in the living room. "No, don't say that. I can help you with something while I'm here.""No, you can't." He shook his head.My voice broke into a whisper. "I... I don't want to..." I held out to him. "I just told you that I love you." I wondered if my words didn't mean a thing to him. After everything that had happened, we needed each other more than ever. I considered bringing my face a few inches forward to bridge the gap between us, while he continued to shake his head. "The fact that I said I love you, does it mean anything to you at all?" I asked him. He smiled lazily. "You know it does. But I can't keep you here. Surely, this isn't the future you want for yourself.""It is," I said hurriedly
