Mated To You: The Escape

4

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you need your life
For without them, life is meaningless.
              
     
Chapter 4

Seconds passed by, waiting for that someone to climb down here and find me. For me to know who it was.
        
       
Footsteps closing in. Step by step. My breathing is shallow due to nervousness. I just hope it's Antonio or I am so fucking dead.
       
       
        
"Hey."
      
     
"Ahhh."
          
        
      
I couldn't hold my scream. I was petrified thinking it was one of the boys.
          
         
         
"Hey. Hey. Don't shout."
       
       
"I-I'm sorry. I t-thought....oh my god. Thank goodness you are safe."
        
       
"What do you mean?"
         
        
"I was so scared. I could not sleep thinking you might get hurt or.....or you might have been in danger. I.....I cannot let that happen. You.....you have done nothing to be put in....in danger. I am so sorry if.....if.....oh god. I am so sorry."
       
        
       
I did not see his reaction coming. He laugh at me. He just fucking laugh. I look at him quite confuse. I did not expect him to react this way. He look at me, amusement visible in his eyes.
       
      
         
"You never fail to amaze me. You know that?"
       
        
"Wha---what?"
       
        
"Instead of minding your own safety, you are thinking about what have might happen to me. That is, young lady, quite amusing to me."
        
          
"I am sorry."
          
           
"You don't have to be sorry. You don't need to say sorry. Not to me. Or anyone. You hear me?"
         
         
        
His voice is stern so instead of being stubborn, I nodded. He have this kind of aura that says he should be followed. Like, if you argue you'll get your place. After seeing my response, he smiled.
            
       
        
"Now let's plan your escape here. I have checked the perimeter and I can tell nobody is near here, nobody would discover us. Tell me anything you know."
     
         
"I already told you everything I know. If you were listening that time."
      
     
      
I answered rolling my eyes, sarcasm being present. I'm sorry okay? Can't help my tongue you know. He chuckled hearing my answer.
      
      
       
"Jeez. This is going to take a while. Esta mujer está jodidamente loca. Ella es tan desinteresada. ¿Qué voy a hacer contigo mujer?"
(This woman is fucking crazy. She's just so selfless. What am I going to do with you woman?)
      
        
         
He said smiling but sighing at the same time. This man is weird guys. I tell you.
        
      
       
"I'm not going anywhere, I assure you that."
      
      
       
I cocked a brow at him, replying to his statement, again, rolling my eyes. He looked at me grinning.
       
       
        
"You just love to spat sarcasm do you. You just speak everything that comes to your mind. And sometimes, that will get you into trouble."
         
       
"I don't really mind. If you have gone through the things I have experience, you just don't care getting into trouble anymore. So yeah, ya know, I have all day just talking to you in a sarcastic way, but I'm not sure about the guys though. They might appear here any moment. There goes my escape. Yey"
        
         
"They are not coming back. You said that last night. They all came here all together the last time and then one of them will come back here next week. So, here's the plan. Here, take this."
         
           
      
He slipped a black cotton inside my cell and pushed it towards me. It stops in front of me so I took it and I am taken aback with the thing I am holding. It is a silver dagger, there is a skull on the handle and a snake stretch towards the dagger. Why is he giving me this? Can't he just get me out of here?

          
        

         
"Ho----? Wha----? Why are you giving me this? What am I going to do with this? Aren't you going to help me out? How's this suppose to get me out of here?"
          
         
"You need that to escape here. I have a plan in mind, Listen to me carefully. You need to....."
              
              
     
He told me about his plan, word by word it sink in. I should trust him and his plan if I want to escape. And right now, all I have to do is wait for the moment to execute everything. I have to wait for any of them to come again. He promised he'll be around, just enough distance so that he won't get caught. But he can't help me fight them, it has something to do with scouts honor stuff. All he can help me with is plan where I should go and he'll take it from there.
       
       
Hours have passed by after he left and here I am, lying on my bed admiring the dagger he gave me. Tracing its design with my fingers. Such a beauty. But I am utterly curious why would he give me a silver dagger? I tried reasoning with him about using the chains, but he didn't acknowledge my suggestion. He said and I quote, 'you can't injure anyone using that. You can't even choke the life out of anyone. Don't be stupid.' I am absolutely upset with the last part. How would I know what could hurt someone or not, right. I mean, I can kill someone if I'll use the chain to anyone. Humans get killed only by getting choked using hands and now I have a chain, it would be easier. But again, he said, and I quote, 'we are not what you think we are. You and me, we are different.' He just speaks in tongues. You get what I mean? He doesn't creep me out really, it's just that He's speaking metaphorically. Tsk. Old people.
    
    
It's not like his 10 years older than me. Now thinking, I say he's handsome. Maybe 5-6 years older than me. He had a dimple on his left cheek, I saw it earlier when he smiled at me. But take note, I can't even see myself having a crush on him. Oh right, maybe because the things those bastards have said is stuck deep down that is why I couldn't find myself having a crush or feeling something towards someone. I became numb. My feelings buried inside. Cage and Locked up.
    
    
While being stuck here, I have realized things I hadn't appreciated before. Like, my freedom. I took my freedom for granted not thinking that there would come a time that I'll get locked up in the middle of nowhere. If only I knew that something like this would happen, I should have spent my time with my friends. Living my life to the fullest. Live the motto YOLO-You only live once. I should have known this would happen.
     
     
Things had been easy for me before. Even though my parents died when I was at a young age, everything was given to me. The attention, the love and of course, the material things I requested.
     
     
Now that I am given the chance to realize my mistake. I learned not to take something for granted before it's too late. There is no room for regret anymore. Instead, I should take this as a lesson. For me to be a better person.
