Waiting steadily for the clock to be 11:38
The moment when the gates open for the messenger carriage, most of the servants should be sleeping right now, I don't really know what kind massage that comes at midnight regularly like that, but I don't have the luxury to care right now,
_this is my only chance it's success or death
Since I'm pretty sure that I will be dragged to the basement in less than two days, i happened to hear that the 'lord' of the castle has taking a liking in a 'demon eyes slave'
And she will be the next to be in his basement
My heart feels like it's about to burst from fear every time I remember that, I don't know exactly what's happening to the kids down there but I don't ever wanna know
_ah it's time to move
In the middle of the road there is some of wood pieces blocking it
Of course it took so much energy to move it with those small hands I have
aand as planned the driver stopped to move the chunks
_ Now
As quickly and quietly as possible I went down the carriage and hag on it, like a spider stuck in the window
Since I have already studied one of the carriages few days ago I found that a small figure can easily hang on the bottom of the carriage, well it just old fashioned things no big difference between all the carriages just one more fancy than the other
Sigh, all I have to do now is to hold tightly and hope it will go to a town, not another mansion
...........
Waiting down there, facing the ground I was drowning in my thoughts more and more and most importantly I was very concerned about what would happen to the other kids when the lord finds out that I ran away,
Sigh, I'm sorry but I don't wanna experience any more pain really
I promise that I wi....
Wait
What's this sound
It's a noise of many people's voices, bills and kids
Oh it seems like what a town could sound here
I felt a little bit of hope knowing that I got near the town even tho I don't have any money or a plan to live, I just.... Wai wait no
The source of the sound is getting away
Oh it seems like the carriage is going to the opposite direction Damen it!
I had to jump from the carriage, luckily I didn't get hurt badly, just some scratches, I also noticed that this body heals kinda fast,
Anyway, I stood up looking around I was left in a completely dark and empty road
But there was that town a bit far from me but I could see the golden lights that filled the place from here, old looking houses made of stones and wood and the stars in the sky is very clear above of it
_ah what a novel sight really, I thought i could only see that in my imagination, but now it's alive in front of me I don't think I can look at it with a loving eye since fear is eating up my heart,
I need to find some information now, I think I have taken the first step as i know what's my name now.....
..........
Before getting out of the mansion:
The carriage is on its way now its gonna take few minutes to stop at the wood's chunks from now
Then I heard a rustle coming from the bushes behind me
_ shoot someone is here, and before I could hide a small figure came out of the bush
_ah its that kid again
I felt butterflies in my stomach by that.
He was standing there staring at me with his emerald eyes, those eyes that seemed unreasonably familiar to me
_.... are you leaving?
I feared why was he asking so I just nod my head, he may ask me to take him with me, and if so I won't be able to protect him from anything since I myself don't know how I will live, or he may prevent me, or..
_ will you be safe?
I Was astonished with his question, as he looked at me with a unfamiliar emotion in his eyes
_ah is this a worrying eyes, he is clearly concerned about me, I couldn't recognize the emotion his eyes carried earlier, since there have never been anyone worrying about me
_I.... I don't really know how will I survive but I need to get out
He didn't reply, he came closer to me, took my hand and put some coins in it
_ please be safe
I looked and it not believing that he is helping me, I mean he won't gain anything, I don't really believe in unconditional kindess, but this..... Left me speechless
_ w why you could get hurt if they found out what you took
_ don't worry
With a little smile appeared on his cute face, we could hear the wheels of the carriage getting really close
_thank you, Im really grateful for your help, but... What perhaps is your name?
_.... Its asil
Pretty name like the owner indeed
_ I think I have to go now
And before going to the carriage I turned around in a hurry
_ hey... Um uh do you know what my name is
_..... Yes you are 'Iris'
