Our Happily Ever After

Chapter 67

Aphmau's POV:

We ran through the halls, the two men on our heels. Hmph, Elizabeth didn't follow. I hope Katelyn's okay.

"Split up. We meet back outside.", Aaron said and grabbed my hand as we ran down a separate hallway than Zane and Kawaii~chan.

As planed the two men split up and chased after us. We ran into one of the rooms which looked like it was for storage.

"Aph. In here.", Aaron whispered pointing to a large box. He helped me in and closed the cover before putting his finger to his mouth telling me to be quiet. I heard boxes shuffle so I'm guessing Aaron was hiding in another box.

The door creaked open and I heard footsteps stomp against the ground as if they stopped running. The sound of heavy breathing and footsteps walking by me made my heartbeat faster. I heard boxes being kicked and thrown to the ground.

"Where could those two be?", the man said. His voice was deep and raspy.

I heard footsteps again then they stopped. I started praying to Irene that he wasn't in front my box. I heard a box cover open and I looked up and slightly jumped seeing the man peering down at me. He picked me up by my jacket collar from the box and said, "Well look at what we have here."

He threw me on the ground in the corner and took up a wooden bat from one of the boxes.

"I always wondered how strong werewolves were.", he smirked and lifted up his bat.

I covered my head with my hands and brought my knees to my chest. I waited for the strike to come but nothing did. I heard a thump and I looked up seeing Aaron there standing above the unconscious henchman, with a frying pan in his hand.

"Where did you...?"

"The box I was in. I have no idea why some of these things were in here.", Aaron answered my question.

"Well, thank you, Rapunzel. Now let's go meet up with the others!", I said.

Aaron rolled his eyes laughing then followed me dragging the unconscious man behind him by the foot.

Zane's POV:

After we split up Nana and I ran through the hall and came up to a balcony, which seemed to be at the back of the building.

"What do we do now?", Nana asked frantically searching around.

I did the same. I looked over the balcony and saw a perch we could jump to and then jump down to the ground.

"Nana.", I whispered and pointed to the perch.

I climbed down first holding on the edge of the balcony so I don't slip since the roof was wet from all the rain. Once I was at a place where I wouldn't slip I helped Nana from the balcony. She placed her foot down and nearly slipped and felt of the roof but I caught her before she did.

"T-thanks.", she breathed out in relief.

"There you two are!", the man who was chasing us shouted and began to climb over the balcony after us.

I nodded to Nana signalling for her to step where I step. We were now at the edge of the roof and saw a pile of leaves under us. I jumped first falling in the pile. It was soggy and the leaves went everywhere on my clothes. I stood up in the pile and looked back at the roof. The man was almost close to Nana and she was looking down nervously, afraid to jump.

"Don't worry! I'll catch you!", I called up and opened my arms.

She looked from me then to the man, then back to me.

"I promise!", I called out again.

"You're not going anywhere.", The man said and jumped for Nana.

She jumped off the building before he grabbed her and landed in my arms making us both fall in the pile of leaves. The henchman fell on the roof tiles, slipped and fell about a few inches away from the leaf pile on his back.

"Oww...", he groaned and Nana and I winced seeing that happen.

I set Nana down and went over to the man who passed out, either from pain or hitting his head.

"Nana, can you help me carry him to the others. I'll carry his upper body and you can carry-"

"The legs!? Got it!", she said her mood changing and helped me pick up the man, who was a lot heavier than he looked.
