~Y/n's POV~

"I'm Viscount Tewkesbury, the Marquess of Basilwether." He said lending his hand out for one of us to shake. We completely ignore it.

"You're a nincompoop." I said clutching on my stomach due to the pain. He look very offended. He retrieve his hand to himself.

"I'll have you know, I have just undertaken a particularly daring escape-" He stared complaining.

"You have not escaped. There is a man in a brown bowler hat currently on this train searching for you, and once he finds you, he will think we helped hide you and we will be endangered by this. Therefore, I ask you to get out of rhis carriage." I said. I become more and more annoyed by this boy. He didn't even apologise properly or sincerely when he landed on me. He should also be thankful that I catch him.

He stayed silent for a while. "You remind me of my uncle. I've left him at the station." I quickly stop my face that is clearly waiting for him to get out, as I remember what his uncle looks like. "He's bossy too. Left them all: my mother, my grandmother. But I'm fine. I'm free." He said as he prepare himself to leave.

Enola seems to sense me being uneasy about the boy who is currently standing infront of me. He is looking down at me. "Good. Get out of the carriage, then." Enola said.

He looked at the door. He seems uneasy on leaving the compartment. "A man in a brown bowler hat?" He asks me. I just nodded not caring. He exhales deeply, before sliding the door open. "It'll be fine." He assured himself. Now, I feel bad. He continue his leave.

We sigh deeply. Enola looks at me, worried. "Are you alright? Does it still hurt badly?" She asks me.

"I'm fine. It hurts just a little. I can handle this." I said reassuring her. I grab my book and read it.

37 seconds later, I'm almost finished the two pages. The boy from earlier busted in. I sigh heavily. I am getting very imapatient, because of this boy. This is supposed to be a calm escape.

"He's coming!" He yelled, panickly.

"Of course." I said slamming my book close.

"He's checking every carriage." He stated. Still panicking.

"Wonderful." Enola said. We begin collecting our stuffs.

"You have to help me." He said, his voice is pleading. "He didn't see me." He breathes heavily.

"Of course he did." I said coldly. "Therefore, we say good day to you, Viscount Tewkesbury, Marquess of Basilwether." I said his name quickly. I grabbed Enola's wrist, pulling her out the carriage. I make sure my grip is not too thight.

"You really do remind me of my uncle. You have that same stare." He said. I scoffs at him. I close the door, while I roll my eyes at him.

I pull Enola further. We then crashed our shoulders to a man in a bowler hat. I quickly close my eyes and wait for his scream. I battle with myself if I should help him or just walk away and continue my escape with Enola. We breathes deeply and continue walking.

"Ah, there you are, sir." The man said.

We started hearing struggling grunts and screams. Our eyes widen. We look at each other having a conversation trough our eyes. The struggling grunts continue. We look back to the carriage we just left.

"Paint your own picture, you two. Don't be thrown off course by other people. Especially men!" I remember mother said to us when we are young.

I sigh deeply and turn my body around completely. I let go of Enola's wrist and walk towards the carriage. She follows behind me. I crack my knuckle, ready to throw punches. I look at Enola, she assures me with a nod. We arrived at the door. I look inside through the window. I saw Tewkesbury hanging off the train. The bowler man is holding him. My eyes quickly grew wide. I slide open the door. He is struggling. I was shocked. Enola push me aside and grab the man's cane.

She looks at me. "Save Tewkesbury. I'll handle the man." She whispered. I nodded. I quickly went behind the man, leaving space for Enola to hit him.

Help! Help! Somebody help me!" Tewkesbury yelled.

Enola and I ready our position. Enola swing the cane, hitting the man. The man landed at the seat. Tewkesbury hanged from the window. I quickly grabbed his arm and pull him inside the train before he hit the wall. The window got detach from the train.

I grab both of their wrist firmly and run off from the carriage. I quickly let them go when we are finally out of the carriage. We run off trying to find a way to escape the train.

"Who is that? He is trying to kill me!" Tewkesbury state. Judging from his voice, he is scared. Of course he would, he almost die. "I'm not ready to die on a train." He complain.

"We are not ready to die at all. We weren't going to before we met you." I said bluntly.

Enola was leading us. "Where are we going?" He asks, panicking.

"I don't know yet. Let me think." Enola snapped at him. She stop in the carriage with people talking. I peak behind her shoulder before we continue to walk again.

"Terribly sorry." He said to them in a rush.

Enola and I pushed open a door that leads outside. It was a dead end. We gasp. My heart is beating fastly, due to panick and exhaustion.

"What are we gonna do now? Ah shit!" I said. I was now panicking more. I can't put Enola in danger, at all.

"Is this truly the best way to come?" Tewkesbury asks. He is unsure with Enola's plan.

"Can you think of a better way?" I snap at him, panicking.

Enola stepped carefully on the other side. I quickly follow her. Tewkesbury seems terribly unsure and scare. Enola moves to the side grabing the bar. I close my eyes. I state my last wishies and will inside my head.

"Enola! Be careful!" I whisper yelled at her. I saw her going further to the side.

"Do you trust me?" She asks us. I quickly nodded my head.

"Yes!" "No!" We both said in unison.

"If we time it correctly, we can leave him stranded." She said. I quickly pick up what she is saying.

"Time what correctly?" Tewkesbury asks, panicking. He surely is not trusting Enola at all.

"Our landing! You idiot!" I yelled at him being annoyed by his slowness.

"Listen here, Tewkesbury. We have to choices." Enola tried to assure him, but it doesn't work.

"And which one involves me not dying?" He asks. I look over Enola. She nodded at me, signalling me. I grabbed his hand, thightly. The door busted open seeing the man.

"This one!" Enola yelled as she holds my free hand and jumps off the train. I jump too pulling Tewkesbury with me.
