Chapter 10: Run Away

***

March, 13, 1894

Ryujin's POV

It's almost time, by the time that my clock, strikes 10 o'clock. I'll run away from this place, with the help of Mel. I haven't thought, what I will do, if this plan fails, but I'm sure that, I'm going to do this for my sister's sake.

I looked at the clock it was almost, 10! I quickly got ready and changed my clothes, put some pillows. To cover me up, if Mother or Father, decides to check on me.

Once, I made sure, that the pillows, make it look like, I was sleeping. I waited for Mel's signal, in my bedroom. I was actually super anxious, waiting for her signal.

I was getting sleepy, but then, I heard somebody knock. I was super anxious, that I quickly went over my window and looked down, and there I saw Mel, going to throw a rock, right on my window! I quickly signaled her to not do it. As, somebody was knocking on my door.

I quickly opened the window, and got some pillows, for me to land safely. Once, I was okay, to land, I ran back towards the other side of the room, and ran towards my room, but then somebody said my name.

"Ryujin? Are you still awake?" That voice, it was most definitely mother's.

I quickly closed my window, and lay down on my Bed just to pretend to be asleep. I then heard, my door open, I'm pretty sure it's mother.

"Oh. She's already asleep..." I can hear my mother's voice.

"Oh, Well. It was a good try, I guess." She said, and I felt that she sat down on my bed, and slowly caressed my hair.

I was trying hard, not to let my tears fall.

"You know? If you were still awake, now. I would apologize, because of what happened. I didn't want our family to be like this... If I can just turn back time, I will just for you guys..." She said, while having trouble breathing.

'I'm guessing, mother's crying.' I thought, as I can hear her sniffles. If, I ever opened my eyes, I think, I'll also be crying with her right now. A few minutes after that, I can hear her breathing, stabilizing.

"I just want you to know, that your Father and I, will always be here for you. I hope you understand, that we will still love you both, you and your sister. Both of you means, the world to us." She said, while a tear suddenly dropped on my face.

Then, I feel, that she stood up from sitting down on my bedroom. I then, heard creaking, meaning my door, is being opened. I opened my eyes, and saw Mother leaving the room, with her red puffy eyes, and I admit that it hurt me. A lot.

Before I even knew it, there were tears that were starting to fall off my eyes. It just keeps on coming. They wouldn't want me to feel bad, but, what they're doing right now and it actually says otherwise.

I quickly wiped it off, and was going over the window, when part of my window suddenly shattered into pieces! I quickly went over it and opened it! It revealed Mel, who looked so pissed off.

I quickly looked at the door, and ran to it just to lock it. Once again, I ran to the opposite side of the room, and gave a signal to Mel, then; I heard the Royal Guards and Mother, either knocking on my door or maybe breaking it down.

I looked at the window, and thought that I should stay, after hearing what mother said. I stood frozen on my spot, not moving a muscle. Until, I heard the door being broken. Then and there I know I have to get my mind straight.
