We walked in silence for a very long time.
I can't stop thinking about all the possible outcomes. If we stay and try to destroy the simulation, we could die. But what if we succeed? We can run away, but they will always be out there, looking for us.
"I can't do it." I say suddenly.
"What?" Stefan turns to me.
"I can't stay here anymore. I want to leave."
"Runaway then?" He raises his eyebrows.
"Yeah." I look down at my dirty shoes.
"Okay." He sighs.
"So?" I look at him.
"Let's go."
I take his hand as we turn around.
"Hey!"
We suddenly hear a voice calling.
It's Peter.
We both pick up speed as we glance behind us, Stefan's fake dad, running as well.
We run and run and run, until finally we hear nothing.
But we don't even stop then...
Finally I come to stop, out of breath.
"Stefan," I struggle.
He slows down and joins me where I'm hunched over.
When I've caught my breath, I stand fully and look around at... nothing.
"Where are we?" I ask.
