Freedom

Chapter 33

Asher's POV

I wake up to a shake on my shoulder. I sit up slowly and rub my eyes.

"your eyes are puffy. You should not rub them too much" I hear Theo say and I stop rubbing it. I blink my eyes a few times to notice he was sitting on the edge of my bed with his face close to me

"What the hell" push him back. "Oh gosh," I groan. "What are you doing in my house? Wait- how did you-

"Shhh I might have broke in" he winks

"Urgh gross, don't wink at me like that" I frown from the bright light. "Gosh my head hurts" I say as I rub my forehead.

"Did you cry?" he reaches out to touch its face but I slap it away.

"Ouch, that hurt," he says faking it.

"What's wrong with you today? Why are you so? So touchy?"

He goes back to his normal face and stands up. "Daniel told me I had to have more expression" he mumbles

"What?" I say confused, his talking so soft, what the heck.

He sighs and faces me. "Daniel told me I needed more expression"

"Well, I like this one better than the other one" I scoff mildly.

"So you like my normal tone?" he raises his eyebrows.

"Yes!" I say in a 'duh' tone. "What the heck was the other one? Don't even try! That is so weird" I say making vomiting sounds.

"Alright, anyway I like my own but" he pauses and puts his hand on his chin.

"But what?" I say, asking him to continue.

"He said that he hates my monotoned voice and he got angry, so it got me thinking-

"Well, you can be a bit blunt sometimes"

"Hm. But I told him, I was sorry" he thinks deeper.

"Urgh I can't deal with this, just leave me alone" I wave asking him to go out and tug myself back to bed.

"Oh yeah, I actually came here to tell something else" he says.

"What?" I sit back up, looking at him slightly annoyed.

"The missing people have come back"

"What do you mean missing people?" I yawn in mid sentence.

"Some families were kidnapped remember?"

"Yeah? My mum was too" I say.

"Yeah, those people are back," he says

"What!?" I stand on my feet. "What do you mean??"

"Maybe you should check it yourself" he steps closer to the door of my room.

"Wait, what time is it?" I look around the room for the clock.

"It's almost noon"

"Eh!?" I look at him in shock. Did I sleep through the morning? Was I that tired? But honestly, I feel kinda fresh.

"I'm gonna take a quick shower and I'll come back" I pat his shoulder before making my way to the bathtub.

Scarlett's POV

I picked up my dress and ran. I wasn't supposed to run but I had to. I ran to my father's office but two guards put their spears in front of me to stop ms.

"Sorry but You are not allowed to enter Princess," one says. And they take their spears back sanding in front of their face.

"It's an emergency," I say sounding desperate. "Please"
