Fifteen minutes had passed and Rey had not come back yet. I keep waiting while I hide behind the blue-spotted bananas tree. I look up at the sky and see that the clouds have grown and become more gray. The wind blowing was stronger and colder than before. It would freeze all my bones if I had not put on my special black Sikh jacket. The jacket has two layers of protection and good heating. The jacket warmed me, but I still felt the cold a little.
I keep waiting while number of thoughts are running in my mind. The cold wind hits me, but I ignore it and keep thinking about why Rey has not come back. He said he would return in a few minutes and it was over a quarter of an hour. Maybe something happened to him? Maybe someone caught him? Or is he simply delayed? I don't know the answer, but I try to convince myself that he is only a little late and he will be back soon.
Right after he left me to hide behind the tree, I peeked as he approached the two guards and began talking to them. They spoke for a short while and then began to walk along the Great Wall. The wall was long and covered all the land and crops and greenery of the black Mansion. It was more than twenty meters high and consisted of rectangular and gray stones.
I didn't know where Rey had led the two guards and what exactly was his escape plan. I just kept waiting behind the tree hoping I'd see him soon. A few more minutes passed. I look up at the sky and see a number of clouds on the horizon that begin to cluster next to each other. The clouds were very far away, but they began to turn with each other at a fast speed that only increased over time. These were the tornado clouds, and like their names, they are clouds that, in the time of a storm, began to turn around with each other until they become a powerful tornado that moves quickly as it swallowed all the things standing beside it. The storm will soon begin and if the tornado reaches us we will be in a double trouble.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
I raised my head behind the tree in the hope of seeing Rey, but he was not around. I thought back to the two words he had said to me before he left: "Don't worry." He used to tell me a lot of these words in a lot of situations and I almost always didn't have to worry about him when he said that. However, this time almost half an hour was passed and I began to think that soon the guards would find out that I had escaped. It is true that it is now late at night, but sometimes the guards conduct night patrols between the prison cells.
I also couldn't stop wondering what exactly I had stolen from the black estate. I knew that the object was powerful and that many wanted it, but failed to achieve it. I don't know what powers or things can be done with it and how the Elusive Man got it and what he planned to do with it. All I knew was that it was of special importance to the elusive man..
My line of thought was cut off as I began to hear footsteps moving towards me. I peered out from behind the tree and noticed Rey approaching me quickly. I came out from behind my hiding place, glad to see Rey and feel relieved.
"Hi," he says as he stops and gasps for a moment.
"Where did you go?" I asked.
"I went with them to the hut of the Western Department guards, I talked to them briefly, and then as soon as they didn't notice, I went into the department head's room and found his drawer in it." Rey answered as he took a silver key out of his pocket. "I got the key to the back gate."
"Oh, good," I replyed with a smile spread across my face.
"Well, now we can go to the back gate and finally get out of here," he said.
Suddenly we hear footsteps coming toward us. Rey looked at me and said as he lowered his tone of voice: "Hide behind the tree."
I immediately did as he says and wait behind the tree while I glance to see who will emerge from the corner of the wall.
