(It was the winter season. At night time. There was a big 4 storeyed castle-like house. Our protagonist is in the house. A cold breeze flows steadily. Everything was silent at this hour. Muffled voices of people laughing.....a window.... it's open....the protagonist can be seen from the window, he is holding a piece of paper in his right hand, the look in his eyes literally spells the word "scared".)
I turned around and saw that the only window in the room was open, I crawled out of it, it was not that hard. I got scared of the height as I was on the 2nd floor but suddenly everything was calm.
"Why am I calm?"
From there I could see the security guards at the main gate, there were two of them and they were laughing, probably chitchatting. I don't know what to do now.
"Should I follow her?"
I heard a sudden thud sound, I went to the corner of the roof. My heartbeat started to rise again. There was a rope hanging from the railing of the top floor. I was calm again.
"Did she set it up all by herself?"
I found myself going down the rope.
"Am I really calm?"
Climbing down, I passed by my room's window, my computer was still on, I was still in the game's lobby that I intended to play just minutes ago.
"Is this the right thing to do?"
I ran to the main gate slowly. Their voices grew louder.
"How will I get past them?"
I stood at the corner of the gate for about 20 minutes, for some reason I did not even notice that much time had passed, then suddenly the guards started moving, they did not notice me, I knew that. They went inside their cabin, I probably would have told this to my father the next day, but it didn't seem like that was going to happen. I went straight through the main gate.
And that was it, I had just ran away from my home. It was hard going past the security guards at night but I made it because they were slacking off.
"I wonder how she was able to do it."
I ran for about 10 minutes, my body started to feel heavy, I couldn't run anymore.
"Do I have so little stamina?"
I was probably terrified because I had no idea what I was doing.
"Will I even get to her?"
I was about 50 minutes behind and I did not even know where to go. I was scared. I started to run again, I went to the station running, got on a train. I had no idea what I was doing, it was like gambling. I stood there, there were about 15 people on the train. My eyes were wide open, the buildings running past the broken glass window, I could see everything yet it felt like I was blind. I ran my hand through the crack marks on the broken window. Suddenly I noticed there was a piece of paper in my hand.
Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.
"Ohh, yeahh."
I tore it to pieces and threw it right there.
"Why did I just do that?"
I couldn't control myself anymore. Everything was happening so fast. All of this was new to me. I wanted to scream, but I refrained from doing so. It was like I was losing consciousness, things started to make less and less sense to me, my own actions were unknown to me.
"I am not calm after all."
I sat down on a seat, hours passed.
"How did I miss that? Was I so dumb? This all wouldn't have happened if I at least did something for her. I was also ignorant just like my father."
After all, I was just....
I woke up after several hours, it was strange as I was awake the whole time.
"Let's hope I will be able to find her."
I got off the train. My parents were rich, so there were people on the lookout probably. I did not have much money, I got something to eat and caught another train, this time it was not random. My instincts told me I have to go there. If she is planning to go away and never return, I was sure she would be at that place, i don't know if she would be there even after this much time has passed though. Apparently, she went there a lot, I only went there once. She took me there, saying that it was a calm place, and that's when I realised, that she was crying for help.
It was a place that you would expect some broken character in a novel would go to. Very far from our house, it takes around 3 hours to reach there, but my random journey on the train all night made it so it was only 1 hour away from my location. And so, I arrived there. Slowly walking along the road, I could see the ocean water. Somewhere around here, there should be a broken seat. I can't remember where though.
"Everthying depends on what happens in the next 10 minutes or so."
I wondered if I would go back if I couldn't find her.
"What would I do if I did find her?"
I was at the beach now, my heartbeat started to rise. One...two...three... I counted the poles that stood beside the road, I don't know why though. I looked around frantically, desperate to find someone, a particular person. Twenty three...twenty four.... I found her.
".....and so when an object is observed in comparison to the Earth...."
Zoning out in my Physics class? That was so lame. And why was I thinking of all that just now.
"Am I missing them?"
That can't be true. It appears I have water in my eyes for some reason. Well, that was a rather sensitive topic to think of at this moment. Why though? In this reserved state it was hard to deduce things.
"Thank you, sir."
Well, it was time for my Maths class.
