Fearless

Chapter 3

Through out my entire life, I have learnt at school and heard people gossiping about those whom were found fearless and killed.

I use to think they were joking but apparently I don't think so.

"Here take this and run to the neighbouring town and ask for this boy's name" the lady says and adds, "and yeah you have to run away tonight or you will be dead by the morning"

I read the name written on the piece of paper the lady has given me,

Aaron Aapeli
The town of Northwynne

"Okay thank you" I say and smile at her,

"And tell him Aster is the one who sent you to him" she says smiling.

*********

I wake up that night and prepare get ready to run away. After I am done with dressing up, I fling my bag across my shoulder and start moving trying to be as silent as possible.

But of course I fail as I pass by one guard whom I thought he was sleeping. A second later, I find the echoing of the gunshots deafening and pray to get out of that place alive.

Surprisingly something unusual happens.

A boy- probably older than me by 4 years, comes and shoots every guard and tells me to follow him. What if he was coming to kill me in a crueler way?

But I decide to follow him. He gives me a gun too,

"Hmm, I can't really use a gun" I say embarrassed,

"Let me teach you the basics," he says, "that is how you set the trigger" he says that as he points at the trigger, "while this is how you fire. I know you might not be able to aim perfectly, but still something is better than nothing" he says and smiles shyly at me.

"Ahh okay thank you" I say and smile back at him.

"No thanks on what I am supposed to do" he says and winks at me,

"Oh shut up" I mumble.

Minutes later and we find a huge swarm of guards coming. Unfortunately one of them spot us and tells others to follow him to attack us,

"Run!" I shout to , and we start sprinting towards the nearest exit as keeps on firing the gun at the guards. I try to fire too and well I did better than I have expected, out of five aims I did three successfully.

After we reach the exit and we escape to the outside I say between my breaths, "Oh please tell me there is no more running",

"Don't worry there is no more running" He says and points at the silver coloured truck in front of us.
