ENTANGLED STRINGS OF PAST

CHAPTER THIRTY

Hazel Grey

It was one thirty in the morning. It only took 15 minutes for Mary to go deep into sleep. I changed into black jeans, a black hoodie, and a leather jacket over it, paired with combat boots. I covered my mouth with a red scarf and head with the cap of hoddie.

Now it was time to test my skills.

I looked down the window, and as we were only one floor above the ground it wasn't that high.

I jumped out of it.

I have jumped out of many heights so it didn't hurt much and I landed quite smoothly.

I have been noticing one spot that was behind the bushes in the garden from my window. The guards were patrolling all over the place but it took gauds to change their positions and reach there 10 minutes, so that was my target spot to go about this place. If I'm not wrong the boundary wall was about 6 feet tall, it was challenging to jump over it but I have done it a few times so it won't be challenging.

I waited for the guards to change their place, as they moved; I ran towards the bushes and faced the wall in front of me.

I jumped and grabbed its roof with my hands, swung my one leg, hooked it onto the roof, and pulled myself over it. It took a lot of strength but it was all worth it.

I jumped on the other side.

Finally, I was out of the mansion!

I looked around the empty street and started searching for a car to steal.

There was a car parked on one side of the street.

I learned to steal a car for emergencies when I was 16 or so.

I took the car and drove it to the railroad bridge.

I had been waiting for Ezar near the guardrail of the bridge, for the past five minutes.

He should be here by now.

He has to!

As I was thinking all about this, suddenly an arm grabbed me from behind by my neck.

He was Ezar!

He pushed me towards the guardrail and leaned me over it. I kicked his leg and then pushed the guardrail with both of my legs, this made him lose his balance and I fell onto him. We both got on our feet hurriedly. Now I was facing him, he was about four feet away from me. I ran towards him, jumped and climbed on him, pinned him to the goddamn ground, and punched him hard on his jaw.

"This is for sending me away!" I shouted.

"What the fuck!" He stopped fighting.

I removed my scarf and his eyes widened seeing me. In another second his expression changed to anger and threw me away like I was a fucking piece of paper.

"This is for coming back!" He shouted back.

I hurriedly got up and brought my guard up again, if he wanted to fight, I would not be soft on him either.

He tried to punch me but I ducked and returned him with mine that hit his face.

"Why-punch, did-punch, you-punch, came-punch, back!?" He was throwing punches at me like I was his goddamn punching bag!

But I douched all of them except one that landed near my mouth and it started bleeding through the side of my lip.

He stopped.

I took the chance and kicked him in his leg which made him lose his balance and he landed on the ground again.

"Do you think I would be living my like all those four years never happened?" I said falling onto my knees in front of him. I was tired of fighting, with him and my fate!
