Hindsight - OhmNanon

Chapter - 7

"Huff!" 

"The rods are so dusty! How could they not clean this?!" I mutter under my breath. 

I have no idea in which room I am, but the place is dark and dusty as if it hasn't been used in ages. A little ahead, I see a balcony. The rods are old and it looks like it will break any second. Hopefully it wouldn't make any noises - I still have that four eyes chasing behind me. 

But I guess god wasn't on my side today. 

The rod cracked - it broke actually. I turn back wondering if someone head and yes...I see the flashlight reflecting on me. I crouched down not wanting to get caught. I held Sun in my arms - she was in deep sleep.

I looked below, I saw the garden and a few feet beneath the balcony, I could see a huge bush. I bit my lip wondering if its worth the risk, but I didn't have the time to think as he screamed.

"Hey! Come back here! I know you are hiding there! Master is going to be so mad if he knows this!!" 

I rolled my eyes, "Well, fuck him." I cursed. I slightly leaned back which was a mistake because the rod fell off - close to making me fall too. "Shit." 

Now the flashlight was pointed towards my direction and I knew he was coming for me. I looked at him running here and back down to the garden. I took in huge breath, closing my eyes and holding onto the small body in my arms. "Well....here goes nothing!" 

I jumped without a second thought, my eyes still closed as I heard him scream behind me, "Wait - ! Don't!!" 

I hit the bush with a thud. My back hurt - I even felt something break. Not sure if it was the branch or my bone. I opened my eyes and looked at Sun and as expected, she didn't feel anything. What a deep sleeper. 

I stood up, the flashlight casting down now even in the broad daylight as I looked up at his horrified face. I smirked, "Catch me now! If you can, four eyes!" 

I could see him grunt, his face still shocked at the stunt I pulled, as he fixed his specs from falling. he ran inside coming back for me. I didn't wait as I took my leave. I had no idea as to where I am right now but one thing was for sure - I had to get out of here.

Staying in this mansion for two months, you think I wouldn't have planned my escape? Ha! I have the blueprint of this whole mansion and now I know where guards are not present and which gate leads to the outer city. 

"STOP!! Damn it, you little brat - so fast!" I heard four eyes scream trying to keep up with me. But he still has a lot to learn from me. 

Just as I was about to reach the route for the back gate - a strong pair of arms pulled me aside, yanking me into the shadows before I could process what was happening. I stumbled, clutching Sun tightly to my chest, heart racing as I looked up into the familiar face.

Gemini.

"Trying to make a run for it, huh?" His voice was low, but there was no mistaking the amusement in his eyes. "You thought you could escape that easily?"

I tried loosening the grip, but the more I tried, his grip grew stronger. I glared up at him, " Let me go!" I hissed.

Gemini chuckled, "You don't have any option here than staying." 

I glared up at him, anger boiling in my chest. "What's the point of keeping me here, huh? You think I will tell you the truth? I'm sorry but that day is never coming."

Just then, four eyes appeared out of nowhere, looking like he ran a marathon. His glasses were clouded and he tried to steady his breathing, "Ma - master...I - I tried but, he - escaped."
