My Parents Locked Me Up, So I Snuck Out.

Chapters 11-15

Chapter 11: The Window

Mina spent more and more time at the window, staring at the world she wasn't allowed to be a part of. She imagined what it would be like to step out without looking back, to leave her parents' suffocating rules behind.

"One day... I'll do it," she promised herself.

But the fear still lingered, keeping her trapped.

Chapter 12: The Weight Of Doubt

One morning, after yet another sleepless night, Mina found herself standing at the front door, her hand hovering over the knob. Her heart pounded in her chest. She could feel the weight of all her choices—her life behind her and the unknown in front of her.

"I could leave now..." she thought. "But will I?"

The door remained closed.

And so, Mina stood there, caught between the life she knew and the life she longed for, uncertain which one she would choose.

Chapter 13: The Escape

Mina's heart raced as she stood by the front door, her breath shallow. "This is it. I'm leaving... I have to." The house was quiet, the lights dim. It was the perfect moment—if she could just make it past the gates.

She slipped out the door, stepping into the cold night air. The familiar streets stretched before her, but she barely noticed. She was focused on getting away, on the taste of freedom she had longed for. "Just keep walking... don't stop."

As she reached the outer wall, she found a section near the back where the cameras didn't quite cover the corner. She took a deep breath and scaled the fence, her heart pounding louder with each movement.

"Almost... there," she thought, but as her foot hit the ground on the other side, a deafening alarm blared through the night. Red lights flashed, illuminating her path.

"No!" Mina gasped. She darted down the street, running as fast as her legs could carry her. But within moments, she heard the screech of tires behind her. Two men in black suits jumped out of a car, quickly surrounding her.

"I thought... I could make it," she whispered to herself as they grabbed her arms.

As they led her back to the car, defeated, she noticed a girl standing on the sidewalk, staring at her. A normal girl, in a normal neighborhood. Their eyes met for a brief moment—Mina's filled with despair, the other girl's wide with curiosity.

Chapter 14: Ashia's Discovery

Ashia watched in stunned silence as the men forced the girl into the car. "Who was that? Why was she running?" The girl had looked desperate, almost like a prisoner trying to escape.

As the car sped away, Ashia's mind raced. "That was... strange. I've never seen anything like that here."

She decided to follow them, her curiosity overpowering her caution. She jumped onto her bike and pedaled furiously after the car, keeping her distance but close enough to see where it went.

The car drove to a large estate, one Ashia had never noticed before. It was hidden behind high walls, almost like a fortress. She watched as the men escorted the girl inside, her heart pounding. "What is this place?"

The gates closed, sealing the girl inside once more.

Chapter 15: Ashia and Haru's Plan

The next morning, Ashia couldn't get the image of the girl out of her mind. She had to know more. She went straight to her friend Haru, a boy with a knack for getting into places he wasn't supposed to be.

"I saw something last night," she said, leaning in close. "There's this girl... she was running, like she was escaping. I followed her and she was taken back to this huge estate. I don't know what's going on, but something feels wrong."

Haru raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? That sounds intense."

"I'm sure. And I'm going back. I need to find out what's happening inside that place."

Haru nodded, intrigued. "Alright. If you're going, I'll help. But we have to be careful."

Together, they spent the next few days observing the estate, figuring out where the cameras were and when the guards patrolled. They mapped out the neighborhood and found a way to get close without being noticed. "We'll get her out," Ashia promised herself.
