My eyes followed the girl as she left. Was it a trick? Were they testing me? I was torn on whether or not to actually take the exit. I was trying to weigh the outcome of both options. They wanted me to be healthy, so I doubted they would do anything. At the same time what would they benefit from this? Giving me a fake chance of escape wasn't something they probably planned. Was the girl helping me? Every part of my body screamed at me to leave but my mind wasn't sure if it was right.
I groaned before getting up and leaving the door. Knowing this might be my only chance of freedom. My chakra didn't seem to return once I left the room. Was this whole building suppressing my chakra? I would have to be careful if I wished to escape. Knowing I couldn't win against anyone in a hand to hand fight while pregnant. The health of my child was more important than that.
The complex which I was kept was built like a maze. I kept finding dead ends but never the exit. I felt like I wouldn't have long before they came searching for me but without my chakra my sense of direction was not the best, especially in an area I was unfamiliar with.
"Prisoner has escaped. I repeat the prisoner has escaped."
Oh shit. I was hoping I had more time but sadly luck wasn't on my side. I heard feet pounding in the ground behind me and I booked it not wanting to be caught. It felt like no matter which way I went I was running in circles. Every path was white walls with brown doors, nothing seemed different. I was starting to panic as the footsteps sounded closer.
"There she is!"
No, no,no. They can't catch me. My chance of freedom was within reach and I couldn't let them catch me now. Suddenly the smell of fresh air reached my noise as I turned the corner and finally found stairs. I climbed them two at a time until I burst through the opening at the top.
I was greeted by swirling sand. My vision was completely blocked as the sandstorm covered the sky. I paused for a second debating if it was even safe to leave. Who knows where I was located or even which direction Suna was in but if I stayed would anyone be able to find me? Gaara controlled sand right? I raised my arm to cover my eyes and disappeared into the storm hoping it would prevent them from following.
How much time had passed? Minutes, hours? I wasn't sure but my body felt exhausted. My speed had decreased greatly and I slowly fell to the ground. My energy was completely gone. The sand felt like it was cutting my skin as I struggled to my knees, tears falling from my eyes. I wanted to protect our child and all I have done was put them in danger. How could I have done this to them? I was going to die all alone in the desert. No one was searching for me were they? They would never find me. My vision was blurry and I wasn't sure if it was the tears or the sandstorm.
Time seemed to stop as I sat there. I could survive what was it 3 days without water? Who knows if I would even last that long while pregnant. Also the fact I couldn't stop crying wasn't helping my cause. I placed a hand on my stomach. "I am so sorry." This was all my fault. I wasn't strong enough and this time it would cost my child's life.
Suddenly the sand just stopped. I raised my head and couldn't believe my eyes. This had to be a mirage. There was no way Gaara was standing in front of me. How could he have even found me?
"G-gaara is that really you?" My voice was hoarse from all the crying.
Gaara walked closer to me and pressed a hand against my cheek. His eyes gave away his concern. He gently put an arm under my knees and against my back before lifting me in his arms. "We are going home." I pressed my face against his chest and fell asleep.
