Chapter 3: The escape
"Every person has free choice. Free to obey or disobey the natural Laws. Your choice determines the consequences. Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices!"
- Alfred A. Montapert
Before I could even say anything he grabbed my hand and pulls me out of my seat. We started heading towards the door and the whole time he looks over his shoulder to look at something as he weaves us through the crowd. When we reached the door I realized it was the back door. He quickly opens the door and quickly shoves me through the door, closes the door and grabs my hand. Instead of walking he breaks out into a run dragging me along with him through the hallway. What's wrong why are we running why does Mason looked so panicked? I want to ask him but this is no time to ask him. Then he stopped all of a sudden without warning and I crash into his back.
"Owe," I say rubbed my nose "Warn me next time when you do that!"
He opens the door we stopped in front of and shoves me inside. He closes the door slowly. Then locked the door quickly and he mumbles something quietly so quietly I couldn't make out the word. He then turns around to me and I looked at him strait in the eye he looks so calm and serious.
"Ok I know you must have a ton of questions for me. This may sound hard to believe but you have to trust me. It is imperative you do," he looks at me and I nodded my head "That thing we were running from is a warlock. He is very powerful and Dangerous. He probably doesn't know that we left the room yet, but he will notice soon so I need you to get away from this place and go to a place called the London institute it is the safest place for you. Go there and stay there don't go back home unless one of their residents comes with you! Also go home with them accompanying you and get that box I gave you that I told you not to open! "
"But why and who are the residents of the institute?" I asked him.
"The people who live there are shadowhunter's they will help you just give them this," He handed me a letter and some clothes "Change into these clothes and yes I know they're men's clothes. It will make you look like a guy so no will question you walking the streets alone." He pushed the clothes into my hands.
"But this will not fool anybody they will know I'm a girl!" I retorted.
"It will just fool the people who glance at you ok. We don't have time for you to ask me anymore question. Just get changed!" He orders me.
"If you want me to change you're going to have to help me!" I say feeling the heat rise to my checks and I knew I was blushing now. I turn around and point to the lacing of my dress that keeps the dress from falling down.
"Okay!" Mason mumbles I can tell that he is also bushing as well. He puts his hands where the lace is and his fingers start fumbling with the lace clumsily as he is untying. I can feel his cool breath on my neck. We were both caught in the moment so it took me awhile to notice that he was done untying the lace on my dress.
"T.. turn around and don't peek" I say trying to sound fierce but instead my voice came out in squeaky hi pitched.
"Sure!" Mason chuckled and he did as I had instructed him to do. I quickly slid down my dress and let it drop on the ground around my feet. I took of my white under dress until I was left in my under clothes I quickly grab the clothes Mason gave me and put them on. I pull my long wavy hair under the shirt and let it cascade down my shoulder all the way to my waist. I pull a hair tie of wrist I gather all the stands of my hair and make into a bun and put on the brown newspaper boy hat on my head covering my bun.
I turn around to face Mason's back "How do I look?"
"You look like a girl in boys clothes from this close up, but I'm sure you can fool the people passing by though!" He smirked at me. Things never change with this man he will always tease me like I am his little sister. Even with everything slowly going into chaos this is the one thing I can find comfort in.
"Well you need stop wasting time!" He starts walking across the room and opens the window. I quickly put the letter in the trouser pocket and follow him to the window.
I narrowed my eye at him and quoted "'every person has free choice. Free to obey or disobey the natural Laws. Your choice determines the consequences. Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices!"
"Awe Alfred A. Montapert. You may be right about that there will be consequences but you will not be the one facing them," He lets out a chuckle "Now let's go!" he say smirking at me and grabs my hand and drags me out the window. We land on the grounds soft grass and we sneak around the lawn stay in the shadows. Until we reach a small whole in the fence that looks big enough for me. Then realization dawn on me, that I will be the only one to leave I will have to go to the institute by myself. I turn around to look Mason in the eye and he gives me a sad but knowing look.
"Whenever there is a meeting, a parting shall follow. But that parting needs not last forever. Whether a parting be forever or merely for a short while... that is up to you." Said Mason.(from ― Happy Mask Salesman)
I give him a sad smile, knowing this may be the last time I see him. I hug him tightly and kiss him on the check "You better come back live or I'll come to hunt your ghost!" I turn around and quickly crawl through the hole on my hands and knees.
Once I'm through I don't look back, I only look forward as I start to run. I run for what may seem like eternity through the countryside. When I finally see London just a couple yards away I start running until I finally reach the street of London. I slowdown and took a deep breath to bring my breathing back to normal. As I walk the streets of London I pass all the shops, homes, and the usual night goers.
I turn the street walking past a bar opened at night when I saw a drunken man stagger out the doors. He takes one look at me I get a bad feeling about him so I quickly run into one of the bars alley way and hide behind some boxes near the bars open back door. I hear footsteps coming then they stop as if he's looking around for something and I realized with horror he was look for me. I had think quickly when I thought of an idea "Hey you drunk asshole! Thought you could get away without paying!?" I shouted trying to make my voice sound as low as man. The man was so startled. "You think I didn't pay!" he growled
"Yes so get in here or I will beat your fucking ass and then get my money. So pay up or be beat up!" I yell channeling my inner Six-Fingered Nigel. A bartender that I had met one time when I went to a bar once and yes I know it's very unlady like to go to a bar. This seemed to scare the man enough to have him running back into the bar. I sign in relief; I'm a better actor then I though. I run out of the alleyway trying getting as much distance away from that bar as I could.
When I thought I wasn't followed I stopped running and started walking. As I walk the lifeless streets of London. Not a person in site on the street because all of them are at home safe and sound, sleeping in there warm and comfy beds. While I'm stuck outside looking for a place called the institute because it's the safest place for me. Then pain shot through me. Mason. "I wonder if he is alright. No I can't think like that! He'll be fine." At least I hope so I thought. It was so dark out here on the streets at least the full moon was out so I had least have some light.
The summer breeze blew through gently and brought nothing but the smell of London but it also smelt like rain. Then soon the stormy gray clouds engulfed the moon and bloating out any light I had. Then I heard a low inhuman growl, I turn around to see something that was a dog but bigger than any dog I have ever seen in my life. It had a very gaunt body, pupils less red shimmering eyes, very coarse black fur, It's mouth was as big as a shark's, that had razor sharp teeth that looked like it could shred through anything, and had its long tail that at the end had long spikes that were protrude outwards.
Fear and dread washed over me forming tight knots in my stomach. I broke out into a cold sweat and every fiber in my body was yelling at me to run. But I was frozen there for a moment then slowly I turn around and broken into a full out run. This can't be real part of me say and the other part say it as real as anything else. As I let my instants take over guiding me through the streets of London. I here that monster paws slam on the ground as it chases after me. This made me run even faster than I had ever run in my life. Well it was probably because I had the gigantic mutt from hell chasing me. But something told me that I had been in much more dangerous situations then this one. I knew if I ever stopped running that thing would kill me and that's something I am not going to let happen now. As I made a sharp right I nearly lost my balance as I kept running for my life. I turned on to a street that had bridges and a big river that could only be the Thames. I was somewhat near the institute but I still so far away from it. I heard deep loud howl that was so strong it shock the ground itself. It renewed the energy in me to keep running.
In the far distance I saw two figures on a bridge from fare way they just looked like shadows but somehow I could tell they were people. A surge of hope went through me as I got near them for some reason unknown to me. When I was half-way there I saw the two men. One of them had wavy blond hair , he had soft hazel brown eye, he had pale skin but it wasn't as pale as Mason, he is very tall person my guess was he was about 5'11, his body was built lean, and he was dressed all in black. He was very handsome and looked the complete opposite of the boy next to him. He looked like he could be a prince from a novel I had read.
The other boy had messy jet black hair, beautiful golden eyes that I could lose myself in, long thick eye lash that a girl would love to have, full kissable lips, he had pale skin that was somehow paler then the other boys, he is slim but muscle built, he is about 6'0 feet tall, and he is also dressed all in black. This made his eyes look even more golden. He looked like a dark knight out of a novel.
I snapped out of my thoughts reminding myself that I had this mutt from hell trying to kill me or something. But I just had to trip yep! I'm back to being my clumsy self again. Great! Just what I need I thought. I got up and now thanks to my not so graceful moment the mutt was on my heels now. But I just had to trip again! I was doomed. At any moment he is going to eat me. I curled up into a protective ball wait for the end but it never came. Instead I felt someone gently shaking me.
"Hey are you alright!" said an eargent voice.
I open my to see the boy with hazel eyes and I quickly shoot up and turn around to see the boy with dark hair fighting the mutt form hell.
"It isn't safe here you need to run!" he urged me. So I quickly ran past him and ran to the bridge but I couldn't just leave them to fight that thing alone. So I turn around to see that the blond had joined the black hair boy who was engaged in battle with that bloody mutt. They both were fighting the monster with strange glowing blades. This was just pure chaos. There was an actual monster and they were fighting it.
As the battle raged on both boys were slashing and dodging the monster. But the monster was just annoyed it didn't even look tired. The boy with black hair tried to swing his blade at the monster but before his blow could hit the Monster, its mass like tail came at him. The blow was so powerful it sent the boy flying into the Thames. That was the last straw! I'm tired of people protecting me! I don't want be this damsel in distress!
So I did something that I would never do I jumped into the Thames after the boy even though I was scared to swim. The water was cool and murky. I started swimming towards the direction of the boy and I saw blood coming from that direction. Oh no he's injured and on top of that he must be drowned. I dove deeper into the river encoring the sting feeling in my eyes and the burning in my chest. As I followed the trail of blood and then I saw a hand. I quickly grabbed it with both of my hands and started to swim towards the surface. He was so heavy and my arms were aching but I ignored the pain.
I kicked my feet harder and harder until we reached the surface of the water. But I wasn't done yet I had to get him to land. My whole body protested at the idea but I didn't listen. One of my hands let go of his hand and I grabbed the ledge. My hand starts to slip from the ledge. No I shouted at myself in my head, I tighten my grip on the ledge and I barely swing one of my foot on the other side of the ledge. Then I pull us both over the ledge and I collapsed on the cold hard coble stone street.
My lungs greedily suck in air. Then I get up on my knees look around to find the blonde and the mutt from hell are nowhere in sight I hope he is alright. I don't have time to worry about him I need to worry about this boy first. My head quickly snapped back to him he's not breathing he's going to die. I drag my body back towards him and started giving him CPR. I pumped my hands hard on his chest trying to get the water out of his lungs. I hold his chin and pinch is nose close with my other hand. I put my mouth on his lips and blew air in. How I wish this technically wasn't my first kiss. I mean I don't mind it's him . I just never imaged it would have to happen like this. As I continue to give him CPR the blond finally returns and it looks like he just walked into hell and came back. The boy took a strange stick out of his belt and grabbed the other boys hand and started to draw a strange symbol. But I keep doing CPR until the boy starts to cough up water.
I let out a sign relief and mutter "He's alright thank god!"
I hoped you liked it!
