ESCAPE
CHAPTER 1
Stealing from the Khan's palace was definitely not a good idea, Gaius was aware of that, but he was desperate: he hadn't touched food since a couple of days, his water's supplies were almost gone, he was wounded and he needed to escape from his chasers.
He had to find some food, water and, if he was lucky enough and he didn't get caught, some bandages too.
If only he hadn't accepted that damn job, he was thinking, regretful, as he was tightening his handkerchief around his injury, trying to stop the bleeding. When it was good enough he didn't lose time and he started to climb on a tree near an open window that he had noticed while he was patrolling the place.
Luckily enough he broke in without being noticed; none was around, maybe it was a particular moment and everyone was gathered somewhere. Well, not the he was complaining: the chances to get caught were less, in that way.
The place was enormous and Gaius didn't know where to go, he was starting to believe that this would have been the death of him; he was more dead than alive and he knew that he would have been fallen unconscious soon.
He would have been found, questioned and executed too.
Eventually, after wandering for so long, he found the basement where there were lots and lots of food supplies.
Immediately he threw himself on the food and he devoured everything that was in front of him; he didn't care for what it was, he was so hungry that he could have eaten even the walls. As the hunger was gone, his mind became clearer and the dizziness decreased a little, even if he still felt very tired.
He only had to collect some supplies of both food and water and to clean the mess that he had made so none would suspect anything; then, if the corridors were still empty, he would have searched the infirmary – because a big place like that couldn't not have an infirmary- and he would have stolen some bandages.
He had just filled his bag when he heard a voice, behind him.
- Who are you and what are you doing here?-
Just when things were getting better.
Author's notes: Hi, it's me, Feeldespair! I hope you liked the first chapter of my new fanfiction and thanks for reading!
The thing is that I love the couple Longaius, even Lon'qu and Gaius didn't even have a support. However, due to their conversation in Summer Scramble, I feel like that would have had a great chemistry, so I decided to give this couple a try and to write this.
I hope you will follow this story and read the next chapters too. See you! - Feeldespair
