Run While You Can

New Greenwich

I slowly opened my eyes and yawned. It was bright in the train car. It was probebly morning, but I couldn't decide how early it was. I noticed that I still was curled up in the arms of Hunter and quickly crawled away from him and then stood up. He waked up.

"Good morning." He sat up and smiled at me.

"Good morning." I smiled back. "Sleep well?"

He nodded and stood up. "Yeah, you?"

I had noticed that the train was slowing down now. "Yeah, unusually good." It felt like I blushed. Why the hell did I blush?

I quickly walked up the the big wooden door and peeked out the small gap that we had forgot to close yesterday. I closed my eyes a bit becuase of the bright sunlight outside. Wonder what time it was?

I opened my eyes and they focused on the bright sunlight and I saw a big citie that we now went towards.

"What do you see?" Hunter asked and tried to see something over the top of my head and through the small gap.

I slowly inhaled and then exhaled. "New Greenwich."

The city quickly came closer.

"We need to jump off the train."

Hunter looked at me like I was crazy or something. "What? Jump off the train! We can't jump off the train, we'll die!"

"No, we won't! The train is slowing down and if we don't jump now we will be cought by the ones who's driving this thing!" I started to pull away the big door in front of the train car and slowly Hunter walked up to me and helped me open it.

When the door was open I felt the fresh air play with my hair. I took Hunter's hand. "Are you ready?" I had never jumped off a train before and would probebly never do it again.

Hunter nodded. "Yeah, I'm ready.

I closed my eyes and jumped. I felt Hunter squeez my hand, or was it me who squeezed his? The air cought my body and then suddenly I bent my knees and hit the ground. I took a few steps forward to keep my balance.

The train was quickly past us, keeping on towards New Greenwich. I opened my eyes and slowly let go of Hunter's hand. We were on some feild just outside New Greenwich.

"Wow, that was cool." Hunter said and exhaled loudly.

I smiled. "Yeah, I know. But now..." I took up the time transfer from my jacket pocket and split up the time between me and Hunter. We had around 400 years left. "..now we have to blend in."

Nobody seemed suspicious when we walked into the shop with our dirty ghetto clothes. But it wasn't so many people their either. It was pretty early in the morning and the shops had just opened. The clock was around ten in the morning.

We quickly picked out some fancy clothes and payed. I didn't even feel guilty for paying with fake time, and I don't think Hunter did either. It seemed like the luck was on our side today, becuse the woman behind the cash desk was really unimpressed by us and didn't notice who we were, or she just hadn't watched the news.

We were quickly out of the shop and started walking, to find a hotel or something where we could stay and sleep.

I fell down on the big soft bed and sighed. "This feels good." I stroked the bed with my arms. I don't think I've ever laid down in such a soft bed, ever.

Hunter sat down beside me on the big bed and smiled. "It was kinda weird tho.."

"What?" I sat up. "What was weird?"

"Nobody seemed to recognize us in the lobby. I mean, we are wanted."

"Maybe we're just lucky today? But we have to be really careful."

Hunter nodded and then he awkwardly looked around. "So.." He swallowed. "This fancy suite does only have a two size bed." He scratched the back of his head. "I can sleep on the couch or something if you want to."

I smiled at him. "Don't be ridiculous! We can both sleep in the bed."

----------

I locked up the door to mine and Hunter's room, we had been out to eat dinner. I took of my high heels and heard Hunter shut the door behind us. I had always liked high heels even tho I never walked in them in the ghetto.

I quickly changed to something that looked like a pajamas and laid down in the big bed. It was so soft! Soon Hunter also laid down in the bed beside me. He only had some pants on and I couldn't help not to look at his abs.

I turned my attention up towards the ceiling. "This bed is like paradise! I will sleep good tonight." I saw in the corner of my eye that Hunter smiled at me.

"What is it?" I frowned and turned towards him. "Why are you smiling at me like an idiot?" I stifled a laugh.

"I think there's something I need to tell you." Hunter leaned on his elbow.

I almost got a bit worried. "What is it then?" I said with a bit hard voice.

Hunter took a deep breath and looked deep into my eyes. "I love you...."

I exhaled. "I-I love you too." I said slowly.

"I don't mean I love you like a friend, I mean..."

I interrupted Hunter. "I know." Then I threw myself over him and pushed my lips against his. He quickly answered the kiss and we wraped our arms around each others. It felt so good...
