"Hide here, don't make a sound, don't move and do not ever get up from here unless I said so!" He whisper.
"But how about you-"
He covers my mouth with his hand as he put his finger on his lips telling me not to make a sound.
A sounds of foot steps could be heard and it's getting closer and it stop.
We are hiding behind the small cliff. I sit behind the cliff while my brother is covering me with his body.
A few minutes later it moves again and the sounds getting fainter indicate it's getting away from us and it became quite with only the wind and fallen leaves sounds.
My brother eyes looking around checking if there anyone near us. After confirming, he whisper "It seems like they're gone". His voice is so low I almost didn't hear it.
He then get up and his body froze, his eyes widened like he see a ghost. Seeing that, I tried to get up only for him to secretly step on my hand so hard I almost let out a sound when I reminded of his warnings earlier and instinctively cover my mouth with my other hand.
"Look who we have here!" A man shouted, a few meters a way from us.
My body froze. I know that person, as well as my brother.
"Where's your little brother?" He ask as he walk towards us slowly.
His body become tense.My brother step on my hand get heavier. It hurts, that my eyes welled up trying not to cry.
"There's no way you guys were separated. I mean you both are always together!" He raised one of his eyebrows.
"No way! Did you betray your own twin brother by leaving him just so you could survive!? He's faking a surprise expression.
My brother eyes got fiercer.
"I'm not betraying him!" My brother respond to his remark.
"No?" That guy confused. And then he smirk.
"But you didn't say you wouldn't leave him."
I flinch at his word. He wouldn't leave me would he? I question myself.
" What if I say I already did that!" My brother shout at him. And a murmur sound could be heard. I didn't know there's other guys.
"No you didn't!" His slow steps stop.
"Yes I did!"
"Then I need you to tell me where he is!" His step become faster and heavier.
"Never!" My brother shout and run away.
"Get him!" The guy shout commanding his underlings to catch my brother.
I see my brother's back running, leaving me behind like what he just said. I want to catch up to him but my body couldn't move.
The guy run after my brother as well as his underlings one by one jumping from the small cliff and above my head.
My eyes still glued to my brother and see he turn his head while running looking like it seems he's trying to watch out from the slavetraders but in actuality he's looking at my eyes filled with tears and crying expression.
His eyes looks like he's trying to tell me to run and he looks determine to leave me alone. His expression tells me that he is confident we can meet again and then turn his head back then continue to run away from the slavetraders.
He have always been good at running and I know he can get away from them however my eyes still watch him until they're out of my sight. I was just a moment.
He's telling me to run,but where? How are we going to meet each other again! He's not going to go back on his words and leave me forever is he?
I get up, standing. My legs trying to catch up to him but his determine eyes come to mind, then my body turn towards the opposite direction and run without a break as tears falls from my cheek.
I pray that we can meet again in the future, the sooner the better and that he will always be fine no matter where he is so that we can meet again.
...
I don't know where I am, how long I've been running and what time is it now. But as I run I can see the end of path of the thick forest.
I slowed my pace and there I can see a small farm and a garden with a small house in the corner. And also a couple gardening.
That's the last thing I saw as it all faded away into darkness.
