"My dad."
"Of course it is. how amazing!"
Amias rolled his eyes at my sarcasm
"I'm dead if he catches me and if he catches you.."
"I am actually dead. Yes, I am aware of the circumstances."
"Great."
We were in a plain. There was no where to hide if needed so the only option-
Amias picked me up and sat me atop of Callynn then he mounted atop as well. As he picked me up his thumbs lightly pressed into my bust.. which, I won't lie, I didn't hate.
Headed towards the stable I could barely hear his apology with my hair in my face and the wind in my ear.
"Sorry,"
"About what? That you brought me to your family's land which is pretty much automatically a death sentence?"
I was on the verge of yelling only so Amias could hear me, but luckily we were closer to the stable and soon arrived. Now lurking in the cover of shadows as it was currently just after dusk and Amias farther was out for us.. me, my life.
We were now whispering
"No, well, yes. Despite what you may think it was the safest and closest place for me and you. But that's not what I was going to say. I didn't mean to- uh, you know, touch you."
The way he said it almost made me laugh.
Though I must admit. Amias, although has too much pride may actually be a respectable gentleman. Maybe.
"It's fine."
I didn't really know what to say as it had never happened before but I think it came off wrong as he still looks concerned.
"I really am I was jus-"
I tripped. I fucking tripped over a bag of feed and landed in Amias lap... I didn't think I would mind and usually I'm not embarrassed, but this time, I was.
"Sorry"
Now I was the one concerned.
He didn't respond, instead as I was about to speak he placed his finger on my lip.
"Shh my dad-"
His dad took out his sword. Great, because things were going just amazing.
"Run!!"
Amias grabbed my hand and we ran throughout the house with his dad only twenty-five steps away. He ducked behind a pillar just before the next entry and grabbed me into him.
I won't lie, Amias hugging me wasn't the worst thing I've experienced.
We waited until Amias dad sheathed his sword and no longer heard his footsteps
"Come on."
We made it to the door only a minute later.
He cursed under his breathe
"The key,"
He half let  out a sigh as he said that.
"It's on the other side of the house, my room."
Amias probably made the worst decision he could have. He stepped back around ten paces, ran then pushed all his weight against the wooden doors. Which of course, alerted his dad exactly where we are.
"The pin!"
"My hair fell out idiot."
"Come on. I know you have a spare."
He was right, I did. Under the recent events I had forgotten.
"Here."
Two minutes later he picked the lock
Instead of grabbing my hand he picked me up, again. I wonder if he has a liking toward picking me up or it's just simply to help me.
"Callynn!"
Callynn arrived only ten seconds before.
He set me atop of her. I expected him to join me but instead,
"Hold on. Take Callynn to where you live, she knows the way out."
"But what about you-"
"I'll be fine. If you want to live, you need to leave. Now."
"How will I return Cal-"
I was cut off, he spooked Callynn so no later I was thirty feet away.
"Meet me, same place!"
I guess that's how and where I will return Callynn. I could have sworn I heard Amias say
"Till tomorrow, Alessia." Just enough so I could barely hear.

Sooner then I knew it, Callynn and I escaped Amias family's land. All I had to do was go home. Except, I don't know the way home from here-
"If only I remembered the way to the market from here" somehow Callynn knew what I meant. She lead the way, I let her lead. She has to know her way around this area more than I.
Minutes later, We were here, at the market.
Blood. I couldn't stop my self from looking where I nearly was killed just two hours before. There was a small pool of blood slightly smeared.
"It's not safe here, Callynn."
She understands my instructions more than I originally thought she would.
Fifteen minutes later we arrived home. There's nothing to do past 8:00pm, it's now nine.
I thought everyone must have been asleep, I was correct except as I tied Callynns rains to the post we have in front of our hut, there was my father, waiting.
