Identity

II

I awoke to a loud sound of alarms in the middle of the night. I don't know what's going on, we're all half asleep. Suddenly the metal door opened and the usual women tell us to go outside, this is very strange.
We went outside where we have afternoon training. There are a hundred other girls like us waiting for us. They, too, looked just as confused.

We've been waiting for hours, and after a while the first light of the sun is about to show itself in the dark I didn't notice that chaos reigned here, I didn't know what was happening from the girls' faces I could tell that no one knew anything. The guards were stressed they didn't pay attention to us they weren't watching for us! It was strange but at this moment the only thing on my mind was to escape. It was my chance. Among the confusion of the girls and the guards, I waited for the right moment to put my gadget in a girl's pocket and then escape by climbing over a gate not far from the crowd.

I've been running for quite a while, I've never felt more free. The sun is shining in the sky now, I've moved far enough now but I can't stop I keep running. And I know that nothing will ever stop me. "AHHHHHHHH" "AHHHHHHHHH"
"I BUMPED INTO A SCREAMING ANIMAL!"I screamed "shut up I'm not an animal" said the talking monkey, I was too shocked to say anything "you- .. you are.. a.. a boy" "why? Have you ever seen a boy?" "no" "WHAT? HOW? WHY?" "Where are you going? Are you an orphan too?" I asked "Who are you running from?" he answered me with another question "If I were you I wouldn't go that way" I advised him "I'm running away too, you know that?" he told me "you shouldn't tell a stranger" I said getting up from the ground and starting to go to the left, leaving him there alone. I hear his footsteps approaching me "You don't seem so dangerous to me" I glared at him without giving him an answer continuing to walk on my own. But I could hear his footsteps a few meters behind me.After many hours of walking we were still in the forest. We could only hear the sound of birds and branches snapping under our feet. I felt that he was tired, but I hadn't asked him to follow me he could leave when he wanted, but he kept saying nothing and following me. I don't think he's dangerous he looks very stupid.
It is now late in the evening and hunger with tiredness make themselves felt. And that guy is surprisingly still following me. We haven't said a word in all this time. But I suddenly stop, I turn around and look into his eyes "Why did you keep following me all the time? You don't even know my name" "You're right! My name is Kevin. What's your name?" he asks me with a look so pure and sweet, "Elizabeth. You can stay with me if you want. But know that you will run many risks next to me." " Is that all? Don't you have any conditions?" I'm surprised by that answer I expected him to go away "none,... are you tired?" "You don't know how much. I've never walked so much in my life"

Apparently the talking monkey had food with him. Then we lit a small fire to warm up and ate some chocolate chip cookies. "It's the first time I've eaten chocolate" I said thoughtfully continuing to eat but I feel very much observed. I turned to see him, and he had a more than shocked face, like I was a zombie. "Why are you looking at me like that?" "You're the weirdest girl I've ever seen. You've never seen a guy in your life, okay I can understand that. But chocolate EVERYONE has tasted chocolate at least once," he said making me look weird. I look down at my hands, unable to hold the monkey's gaze, not because I was shy or anything. But it's sad, my whole life it's been the same thing repeated every day until yesterday. And the words of him do not help in deed. Suddenly he got to his feet abruptly. "OKAY, let's forget about everything for tonight. We'll talk about our past when we feel like it." he said making funny faces and I just smiled, the first smile in a long time. "Sit down, don't talk bullshit. What makes you think I'm going to tell you about my life?" I said and he looked at me with a broken face as if I had insulted him in the worst way, so I rushed to say: "maybe one day I will but now sleep and don't try to kill me in my sleep." I settled down on the floor and tried to form while ignoring him. After a while I heard him say "good night" I didn't answer, I know it won't be a good night for me as always it will be full of nightmares.
