Chereads / Black Or White / Chapter 10 - Run (2)

Chapter 10 - Run (2)

The transportation portal transports them to an abandoned building outside the city of Sahra. Kent Maroon already prepare everything for Teacher Rachel to escape safely but unfortunately, she chose to sacrifice everything for her children and husband. He drags Mikayla into a carriage and they are going away from this country and The Knight of Hanie jurisdiction. The Knight synonym with the police force from Mikayla previous world while soldier in this world is called The Warrior. The Knight from another country cannot casually enter other countries to catch a criminal. Unless the criminal is a Grade A, S or SS then, The Knight can only operate within their own country.

In the carriage, Mikayla is asleep while hugging the egg. Kent Maroon treated his injuries and recovering his magic power. He has to be ready in case The Knight is following them. He only relaxed after they entered the country of Lala border and leaving the country of Hanie.

"Drive straight to the airport, I already book pegasus carriage. We can not stay in this Southern region," said Kent Maroon

"Why boss? The Knight can not harm us in Lala," said Jeffry

"We can get away but what about the children? This boy receives The Fallen heritage and he is being trusted with Nelson's child. Furthermore, I'm sure Joshua is searching for us crazily," said Kent Maroon.

"Eh! Didn't they cleanse every fallen heritage? I think your worry is unnecessary." said Jeffry.

"Mikayla is a special case, now stop asking and keep eye on the road, we must be at the airport before midnight," said Kent Maroon as he closes his eyes.

In the hospital, Joshua is laying on the bed.

"Joshua...Joshua, how stupid can you be, STUPID!!!" shouts Kyle as he slams his hand on the table.

"Calm down Kyle," said Mr Jack as he sips his morning tea near the window.

"CALM DOWN!!! Ahhhhhhh, if you wait for a few months you can get the revenge that you want but NOOOOO, you have to attack them last night and at the orphanage. Can't you pick a better place?" said Kyle. He keeps walking back and forward trying to calm down his anger.

"If I didn't take action Nelson will run once again, he even contacted Kent Maroon," said Joshua.

"You thought that we did not know about this, aren't you. We are just waiting for the right time," said Mr Jack.

"When is the right time? Until they all went hiding once again? Plus, who knew he married Cassandra. Fallen with fallen, what a suitable match. Hahahahahaha and you should see how he begged me to save his wife and baby. Hahahahahah," said Joshua maniacally.

"Nelson is not our priority, Mikayla is our priority. He inherited Samuel's heritage and he also a Wing Tribe with Wings," said Kyle.

"After the heritage being cleansed, we can take his heritage and send him to that place. With him, there is a possibility Maria to be revived back," said Mr Jack.

"Are you sure?" said Joshua and he is excited hearing the information.

"But, we can not do that anymore because someone spoil our plan," said Kyle sarcastically.

"I...I don't know about it, why did nobody tell me?" said Joshua.

"Tell you, heh! Yeah right, you only used the mobile phone as a decoration and when is the last time you come to the headquarters?" said Kyle.

"Enough, because of you, Mikayla was dragged into this mess. After this, it is your responsibility to find him. The longer you take to find him the longer Maria has to wait." said Mr Jack as he gets out of the room. Kyle glared at Joshua before he follows Mr Jack.

At the airport, Mikayla is so excited. He stands in front of the pegasus and admiring them. One of his hand trying to touch the pegasus. Kent Maroon is giving orders to his subordinate to check all the necessities because the flight will take for about three days. They will be hiding in the eastern region for a while.

"Mikayla, what are you doing? Hurry up and get into carriage?" said Jeffry.

"Okay, mmmm, Jeffry can I touch the pegasus?" said Mikayla.

"Huh! Hahahaha, go ahead and touch him. His name is Whitney." said the driver with a smile. He notices Mikayla has been staring at the pegasus for some time.

Jeffry roles his eyes seeing Mikayla reaction. "After this get into the carriage."

Their flight to the eastern region is smooth without any disturbance. On the third day, they land in a country called Cheshire. Kent Maroon chose this region because his family has land here and it is easy for him to use his family connection to avoid The Knight. The Maroon family is an ancient family that proficient in magic. The Maroon family has contributed knowledge and effort towards the evolution of magic during the Dark Age that is the big war five hundred years ago. To honour their effort The Maroon family receive immunity towards law as long their crime did not exceed Grade S.

Mikayla arrives at a castle. A castle I say, not mansion but castle. Mikayla almost drop the egg seeing the castle, he never thought Kent Maroon is rich. Mikayla was imagining a sophisticated headquarters or a hidden basement since they are on the run. Kent Maroon subordinate already used to it and they quickly settle down.

After dinner, Mikayla went into his room and he checks on the egg in the basket. His eyes tender seeing the egg and slowly rub the egg. He sits on the window sill as he staring at the moon. His Wings appear on his back and it has a soft glow of yellow light and black light. He flaps his wing slowly creating a soft wind and he suddenly remembers a song from his previous life.

I'm a little tired of walking

I'm a little tired of walking

Forgive the trite expression

But I'm tired on life's long road

I want to take a little break

I want to take a little break, but...

Time cruelly goes, hour by hour

And so... drags me right along...

It seems like things are going well

But in the end, they never really are

So in my carelessness, I'm brought to tears;

It's shameful, it's true...

These feelings of misery

I've tasted more than I'd like to admit

And yet, I should've long ago Left behind all my regret...

It's not quite so bad

As to bring me to despair

But the things I want

Are always just out of reach...

Really, it's silly, isn't it?

But I just keep foolishly hoping...

In that case, just get it over with -

Just drop me into the depths already...

You say to ask for an answer

But it would depend on the person

So I could never, no, never

Believe in anyone... right?

Everyone has hardships -

Yes, of course I understand that...

But is it right to just laugh them off?

I don't know anymore... Stupid!

Even though I'm told so harshly

I still don't have everything together

Thinking simply on even the easy things

I keep overthinking

Everything's getting more troublesome

So should I casually put an end to it?

"Are you sick?" Well, I'm sick of hearing it;

Can't I just have things end in peace?

My dreams, my aspirations

My reasons for living...?

It's not like there's any real need

To have such things...

If it were tangible, it'd be easy to tell...

Give me an opportunity...

While looking for a place to cry

I'd already gotten tired of crying...

I hate to just gloss over things;

I keep hoping, but nothing takes form

"The stars watch over us," you say

But aren't they only at night? Hey...

You show such kindness

But I demand it in every failure

My heart is too frail;

Don't touch it... No more!

Just back off...

Just leave me be...

This dirty road I walk

Isn't going to change - ah...

I'm worn out, I've turned timid

And running away would be futile...

So I block up my ears;

"This is awful," I cry...

What is life, anyway?

Not even knowing, I just keep living

But can I call that happiness?

I don't know anymore... Stupid!

Tears flowing and Mikayla did not hide his sadness, he feels so miserable. Then, he feels a sharp pain all over his body. He screams because of the pain. Unknowing to him his Wings started to change. Everyone shocked hearing his scream.

"What happen, Mikayla! Oh my! Jeffry! Call Old Dan now!" shouts Kent Maroon.
