Chereads / The Unwilling Heir / Chapter 20 - Escapee

Chapter 20 - Escapee

"Why would I do that?" I asked. My parents are bad people but they are still people who keep the world in order.

To their children they are the devils but to the rest of the world they are gods.

Sure they are very unfair to me but when leading companies they are very fair.

Overthrowing then and all the noble families will cause the world to go into disorder again!

"You would do that because the world as it is now is unfair. Hierarchy is as the same value as money. Our parents don't value us at all. We are trash in their eyes" he said back.

"I'm sorry Elijah but I can't join your organisation. Time to go then, I think I've overstayer my welcome." I said.

His face turned sour.

"If you won't join me then I'll have to kill you. You know too much."

I undid the rope, throughout the time we talk I was slowly moving the rope system to that the knot would right behind me so I could untie it. Elijah didn't notice which was surprising.

When we were young he was always better then me at every aspect of life. It was annoying but it proved I could look up to him and I did.

It's just disappointing that he would make an organisation like this. He wants the world to go into disorder, he might not realise it but that would be the end result if he succeeds.

I got out of the rope binds and he stood up to look me in the eyes with those clear green eyes of his.

His irises were deathly still as he looked at me.

I started my attack and he deflected then counterattacked.

The dance of fists and feet went until he added steel in.

The sword came out of its sheath and he sliced my arm. A gash ran down the side and blood dropped everywhere as he accurately sliced one of my arteries.

This then left an opening which he did not see.

I kick to the face and something dropped.

Metal clinked into the floor and I brought my foot down.

His eyes were a misty green now. That was when I realised. He was blind. The other eye was robotic, that's why he didn't realise why the rope system was moving.

The robotic eyes only concentrate on one thing that the brain wants it too. Since he didn't hear the rope as it was moving he never thought to look at it.

"This is what my so called parents did to me! They blinded me and then disowned me! Just because they thought I wasn't fit to take over as head! I will get my revenge!"

He raged and then started a series of wild attack. Bruised all over I managed to knock him out because he was blind with rage and sight.

I walked out of the room bruiser with nasty cuts everywhere but the main one on my arm was causing me to loose blood quickly.

I was dawdling our when I realised where I was.

It was hilarious, I was at school!

Apparently there was a secret basement underneath the school. It was a short walk home but I felt like fainting multiple times.

It felt like hours had past when I finally saw the back door to the mansion.

I knocked on the door once before loosing all strength and falling as my knees buckled under the weight of my body.

...

My sense of touch registered in my mind as I felt the foreign bed underneath my body.

My eyes opened to the blinding white and clean area of the hospital.

Frick, I fainted.

I grabbed the clipboard at the end of the bed to check what injuries I had.

The scribbly writing covered the paper as I grabbed it and tried to read the barely legible handwriting.

Heavy bleeding, gash on arm, cut artery, fractured skull, internal bleeding, sever bruising all over body.

Urgent treatment.

The rest of it I couldn't read properly.

Damn though, how did recover from fractured skull?

I feel fine.

I poked myself in the areas where I was heavily injured and saw the big scar on my arm. A lot of little scars littered my body as well.

I was healed!

I did what I have done every time I went to the hospital.

I looked at the window, 2nd floor, nice and easy.

I opened the window sill to feel the cool morning air blowing on me. Then I jumped.

Adrenalin rushed through me as I fell through the air and rolled to break my fall.

I sighed and walked towards the mansion. I was in the local hospital by the looks of it.

I was the escapee at the hospital!

As I walk I heard sirens, police?

The police caught up to me and surround me with the cars.

The stepped out and then surround me once more with hands on their weapons on the belt.

"What can I do for you gentlemen?" I asked kindly with a smile.

"Kid you need to return to the hospital, you know that we've been trying to track you down every time you've escaped from the hospital."

The policeman sighed as he said that. Looks like I was tiring to track down. I would use the word tiring, more damaging.

When I though about it the ,hospital always put me under unknown name.

They didn't know the name of their escapee not that person's aka my background.

"Mr police officer, I did not know I was meant to stay there. It was a foreign place and I did not know where I was so I ran out." I said with an innocent voice.

"Kid, I'll take you back to the hospital, you have to promise not to run." He said, treating me as a child.

I ran. Faster and faster I pushed my legs. The wind whipping my cloths and the policemen left behind.

Back to the mansion where heaven and hell lay.

My parents are going to be so mad at me. As if I cared! I laughed at the thought and pushed myself harder.

I arrived at mansion panting with a big grin on my face. The butler opened up and saw my sweating face. His expression was very confusing, I don't think he's ever seen me sweat and have a grin on my face.

"Im back!" I called out, practically inviting my parents to scold me. Might as well get it over and done with.

"You stupid brat! How could you get yourself kidnapped on the day of your first date? The poor girl was so excited." Mother scolded.

I listened to her scolding for another half an hour, throughout that time father was missing.

I said an apology to my mum then went straight to my room, it was still the same old room I renovated.

My precious hasn't been discovered yet.

I heard police sirens outside my windows which reminded me of why I was sweating.

I went to go take a shower at the thought of myself being drenched in sweat from running to the mansion from the local hospital.

My someone knocked on my door, thinking it was one of the butlers I opened the door without hesitation to see the raging eyes of my lovely father.

"What's with your room?! " he asked furious.

"Is this all you came to talk to me about father? To answer your question I changed it a bit," I said politely with a thin sheet of sarcasm lining my words.

"If your going to ignore your privileges then why are you still in this household? Tomorrow you have a date with the girl you were suppose to meet after school that day." He said.

"I'm here because you and mother expect me to be the heir." I said very innocently.

He grunted and walked off towards his study which was probably where he was when mother was scolding me.

My parents don't know about my hospital reputation either because of the fact that every time I've been there, it's because the butlers were always concerned. The opposite of my parents who don't have any parental skills whatsoever.

Sirens kept going back and forth throughout the area probably looking for me. They will never find me though!

I plan for them to not know of my family background and for my parents to not know of my hospital background.

I am of right now 2 people.

The Coltus Heir and the Hospital Escapee.
