Escape With Me

I'm aware that I became a bit harsh—maybe a full harsh to her, but I'm not sorry. Marriage is a sacred thing—even for a kid like me could understand—and toying it like it was nothing, make her bury one foot into the ground.

"You got the point, right?" she nodded; she haven't said any words, maybe those words of mine struck her like a lightning and brought back some realizations in her.

"If you thought I gave up on marrying you, you're wrong; I won't give up until I presented you in front of a priest, then make you say the words 'I do'. A lady like me won't let this opportunity pass," she's been mumbling since the discussion ended.

I didn't bother her further. If she still insist on marrying me, then I guess I'll have to disappear; I can't marry anyone, not for the reason that I'm not fond of that idea, but for the reason of me not being able to fulfill that role.

Besides, I don't age; even if she insist on waiting, I'm sure she'll get tired and find someone better—better to satisfy and return the love she gave.

"Remember that well, my husband: I'll marry you no matter what!"

Urusai na omae!

"Suit yourself."

Her eyes glimmered, then after a second, I found her body not an inch away from me; she locked me in her arms, then sniff my scent for the nth time. "I won't let you go! You're my sweetie, fluffy, softie, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious husband!"

Jeez, that was long! Have she sang that, too?

"How many babie—"

I placed my hand in front in a haste. "Oops! Stop right there, Miss Varna. That's inappropriate."

She raised me an eyebrow, then rested her hands on her hips. "Why's that? I was asking if how ma—"

"Urusai na."

She lifted her hands on par with her ears. "Okay, I'll shut up—like literally." with a swift movement, she zipped her mouth by trailing her right fingers on her lips.

"Better."

I took a last look on her before sitting on the floor; I crossed my legs, then shut my eyes.

I ain't got any clue if how many days have we been here; I haven't received any signals from Alter and the others.

According to the plan: the moment they'd abducted me, they'll execute the next part of the plan, which is the infiltration itself.

Now I've been wondering why I haven't got any news from them; they should be communicating with me through Alter's spell, yet I'm stuck here, forced to engage in a conversation with this marriage-obsessed daughter of a coin dealer with an interesting background.

"What are you doin—"

I placed my forefinger on my lips. "Shh!" without opening my eyes, I made her feel the danger of disturbing me for the second time.

"Gedeon, are you there?"

Got it!

"I'm here. Where are you, guys? We've been waiting for ages!"

His familiar laugh registered in my mind. "We've arrived; we're getting you out there."

"Nah, don't bother; I've discussed my escape plan to Miss Varna, and to my surprise, she agreed, therefore, you guys must proceed to the main part of the plan."
