The Dagger's Rose || l.s (completed)

Nine

Hi :)

This chapter is lengthier than previous ones.

It was 5am, the next morning.

Harry and William were outside the room already, the latter boy had managed to slip in sedatives in the food of people guarding the building.
William had even told one of his trustworthy people to inform him about the situation there as he tried to escape from the place with Harry.

It was still dark outside. William held Harry's hand and sneaked him out of the big building they were in through the backdoor where the guards were less in number. It was good that they were not actually professional kidnappers.

They were near the fences, William helped Harry cross it. As he himself tried to cross it, his phone buzzed. He had forgotten to lower the volume of the ringtone.

They heard footsteps coming closer to them. William was on the edge of the fence and turned back to see in terror. But fortunately, it was the trustworthy boy, Rupert, who had come to check if everything was okay. They were relieved.

William drove Harry in a car for some time. He parked the car near a place what seemed like a small forest. Then he held Harry's hand again and told him to run with him. Harry couldn't even walk fast as his movements were limited within the same four walls for one whole month.

He tried his best to run with William. They were in the woods now.

"Are you sure we are going in right path?" he asked William as they slowed their pace.

"Just trust me okay, we'll reach the right place"

"Please stop, I... can't... run", Harry said, breathing heavily.

"Okay"

William took out his phone from the back pocket of his jeans. It was an unknown number. He called them back.

"Hello!"

"Is this William?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm David, Harry's driver, I'm on my way, where should I stop?"

"Oh hello, erm... be at the closest place to his house"

"You know that cafe near the Public school?"

"Yeah I do!"

"I'll be right there, in twenty"

"That's great, we'll reach there soon, Harry is with me"

He put his phone back to his pocket.

"We have around twenty minutes till your driver arrives, we're just a few metres away from the location, you can rest here for a while", he said.

They both sat on a trunk of a fallen tree. Daylight was slowly growing brighter.

Harry's tears hadn't dried from last night and he already started crying again.

William cupped his face and wiped the tears with his thumb. "You were supposed to hate me...", he said with a tremor in voice, "it would have been much easier for me if you did".

"I hate you", Harry said.

William chuckled though his eyes were filled with water.

"I know how you feel about me Harry, the way you look at me tells me everything", he said shyly.

"I have a serious crush on you Beast, since the day I saw your mesmerizing eyes! I...... I ..."

William stared at him.
