The Sowl Unity

Chapter 18: Alone

***Graxz's POV***

It was the door, locked from the outside. I gave out a frowned smile on my face. I turned the door knob with all my strength. I looked at Chloe who was still busy organising the medical instruments.

I appealed in a worried tone, "Chloe, is this door broken?"

"Oh yeah, the builder was supposed to be fixing the door for tod.... please don't tell me we're locked inside," she said as she gave out a worried expression.

"Ummm....we're not locked inside," I uttered nonchalantly.

"Phew," she sighed.

"But seriously though," I started, "the door is locked," I spoke as I tried to turn the door to prove it was locked.

Chloe went to try to budge the door when suddenly, the school bell rang. What made it even worse was that for the first day of the school, the students got to go home early.

It's been a few minutes and the door was still locked. I spinned around on a chair that had wheels on it.

Chloe was busy walking back and forth on the line. She was probably thinking for some idea on how to get out.

"Can't we just break the door?" I suggessted, "I mean, I have the power of.... I don't even know what it is actually but I will come up with it,"

"No!!" denied Chloe, "we must find a way out without breaking the door," told Chloe.

"Fine, any ideas?" I teased her.

"Umm....I'm still thinking about it!" she spoke, "why don't you come with an idea, hmm?"

"Well then, if you say so," I lifted up a chair nearby and aimed it to the window.

"Stand back Chloe!" I shouted.

"What are you.." she said.

I threw the chair very strong in hope of breaking the window. Unfortunately, the window was as hard as a rock.

"You dummy!" she yelled as she punched my head down. It wasn't really painful but I decided to act it out by saying "Ouch!"

"Well at least my perfect plan won't break the door," I complained, "oh wait," I said as I checked the window.

I slide the window to the left. It worked.

"I found our way out," I told her.

She punched me in the head but stronger. I proceeded to look through the window. It was two floor above the ground. I could see a tree nearby with its hard, big branch sticking out towards the window. There was no other student wandering around the school.

"It's a loooong way down," I chattered, "can you use your power?" I asked.

"No," she replied, "I have promised my dad not to use in such a normal situation."

"Well then, suit yourself," I said as I got on the tree branch. I had practised climbing trees back at the old day.

I steadily crawled like a chameleon on the tree branch. I looked back, it was Chloe trying very hard to step on the tree branch.

***Chloe's POV***

I have never climbed a tree before. I dabbed the tree branch, examining the strength of the tree branch. I felt discouraged to foot it at the tree.

"Graxz," I called him, "don't you dare leave me behind."

"Well then, what should I do?" He said as he leaned on the tree from its branch. He seemed to be an expert tree climber.

"Find a way for me to get down of course!" I shouted.

"Fine," he sighed, "climb on my back," he uttered as he crawled back to the window.

As he made it to the window, he climbed in and brush the dust away from his shirt. He then kneed down.

"Come on, grab on to my back," he commanded, "I won't drop you or anything," he giggled.

"Don't you dare to," I said as I went on his back. He then walked on the edge of the window, breathing in deep air.

He jumped very high and landed on the tree branch and luckily, it didn't fell off.

"Are you dumb?!" I yelled as I punched him in the head. "We could have got killed back there."

"Don't worry," he smiled, "this tree is as hard as it looks like," his words seems to be true.

I was about to deny that when suddenly, the tree branch creaked.

"I hate you Graxz," I told him.

The tree branch began to split apart as we fell down. We both some few stick of branches as we fell.

I landed on Graxz soft body, safely. I stood up unhurriedly. Graxz surprisingly was able to stand up properly.

"You sure are heavy than you look like," he joked as he brushed his whole body. I punched him lightly on his head, again.

"That's kinda annoying you know," he giggled.

We then decided to walk home. I actually felt glad that we got out of there. But what annoyed me was that, Graxz was still following by my side.

"Umm... why are you following me?" I started when I felt awkward.

"Heading home of course, you?" He asked back.

"Home," I simplified my answer.

A few minutes later, we finally went off to separate route. I unlocked the door as I stood in front of my house.

"I'm home!" I uttered, "sorry I'm late," I said as I put my shoes in the shoe rack. I could smell something delicious in the kitchen.

Everyone was about to eat when I walked in. My dad look at me, looking suspicious at me.

"Where were you?" he asked, "and why are there bruise on your legs?"

***Rolex's POV***

I was surprised that Graxz got a few cuts on his hands. I examined it carefully. I told him to sit down on the floor mat. I grabbed on a bag of medicine with me.

"Where does these cut come from?" I asked as I dabbed a piece of wet towel on his cut.

"Nothing much, just saving a cat from a tree," he answered and smiled normally. I could see that he was hiding something. But I wouldn't mind that.

"So what's for dinner?" we both asked at the same time.

"It's your turn to cook!!" I started.

"No it was your turn!!!" He denied.

"Let's decide it!" we shouted," Rock, paper, scissor!"

We both sent out our hands to decide who's going to cook. The moment of truth lied between our hands. I chose 'paper'.
