Sayoran. It was Sayoran. He was the one who sat there and held me. He was the one I thought was Gabriel. I felt like I had lost Gabriel again. But he never came back. It was just Sayoran.
"Sakura. Are you ok?"
"What do you think?"
…..
"That's what I thought."
My head was still buried in Sayoran's chest. I didn't want to move. This might have been the most awkward moment between me and Sayoran. Even when Sayoran kissed me, it didn't feel as weird as this. But either way, I sat there and let him hold me.
"Sakura. Can I ask you something?"
"You just did."
"Will you come with me?"
My eyes shot open. My dream. Maybe it was coincidence. But what if I say 'where?'
"W-where?" I got out shakily
"Anywhere. Will you?"
"Of- of course."
Was he going to say he loved me? Just like Gabriel did in my dream? No. He cant. I hated Sayoran. He couldn't do that to me. Not now.
"Thank you… Sakura."
If I didn't realize that I was holding my breath I would have never let my lungs breath again.
Remember when I said no one is ever alone… well guess what? Me and Sayoran were definitely not alone. I heard something in the bushes behind me. I didn't think Sayoran knew about it. I started to move out of his grasp but he pulled me tighter.
"Don't. Just wait." He whispered.
I think he was waiting for whoever it was to come out so I too sat there and waited. Whoever decided to spy on us was making his/hers entrance pretty loud. I think they wanted us to run. Maybe that's why Sayoran didn't move.
I heard the tranquillizer gun shots. One tranquillizer flew inches past my head. And another one just past Sayoran's arm. This person had pretty good aim. My bet was that they were just shooting aimlessly to get us running. That's not what Sayoran had in mind. He was waiting for them. Why? I had no clue. If they came closer wouldn't they just shoot us anyways? I started to think that I was not the crazy one.
"Grab your board and go." Sayoran said finally releasing me. "Quickly."
I didn't argue. If he had a plan I was all for it. Unless I was the distraction so he could sneak up on whoever those people were. If that's what Sayoran was thinking then after this I would have to shoot him myself… with a real gun.
Either way I got my skate board and started to glide away from where Sayoran was. I felt tranquillizers 'whoosh' past me. And believe me… Sayoran was dead after this. He was using me as bate. And it was working…. A little too well. They were pretty fast runners and had to be in good shape to keep on me.
I saw Sayoran out of the corner of my eye. He was hiding in a bush! When I was being chased down! Great.. Just great. He was saving himself. Well I thought he was until he pointed to the tunnel…. I got it. I knew what his plan was.
I flew into the tunnel and kept going. When I was almost to the middle I stopped and turned around and started to skate back towards the creepy people following me. If I didn't know any better I would have really thought I'd gone crazy. But I knew what might happen if I had messed that up.
The 'creepy guys' stopped and stared at me for a second. But soon they started to shoot at me again. As I came closer their aim got better. Of course it did. I was a big target now.
I flew right in between them as I passed the 'creepy guys'. They looked at my back but didn't noticed that Sayoran had been behind me the whole time. So when they looked at me they got knocked out by a hurtling Sayoran. That was fun. Wouldn't do it ever again.
"Keep going to the forest!" Sayoran yelled to me. I knew he was alright. But now…we had a way out. There was no one to stop us. I took the path that we had run down the first time we met. That made things so much easier if I had found it my first time trying to run away.
After a while, I noticed I was alone. I didn't get it. I thought Sayoran was behind me. But why would I care about Sayoran. Oh ya that's right. I don't care about Sayoran. So I just kept going. This was a very long road. I think it was almost an hour until I came to train tracks.
On the other side of the train tracks was more road. Should I cross the train tracks? Of course I should. Why? Because I was almost at my freedom. But I was scared. Why was I scared? Because I was almost at my freedom. Why was that so scary? Because I didn't know where to go. Where I would end up. What would happen to me. I just didn't know.
"What made you think you were leaving me behind?"
What? That cant be Sayoran. The idiot cant find his way out of the school by himself. How did he get here?
" I thought you were gone." I said not looking at him.
"So… You going to cross the tracks or just let that train block your path."
True. There was a train coming. Might as well. I kicked my board up to my hand and started to cross. Sayoran right beside me.
"Are you really going to come with me?"
"To anywhere?"
"Unless you want to go back to the school."
"I think I can stand going with you."
"I'll take that as a compliment."
What a self absorbed jerk.
Then it hit me. No it really did hit me. A tranquillizer dart. It had hit me on my shoulder. It's poison leaking through my hoodie. Guess what? Creepy guys found us. And they were getting better at running pretty fast. If I hadn't known any better, I'd think they were on motor bikes.
Could me and Sayoran get away? Of course not. Why? Well for one if me and Sayoran skated, creepy guys would catch up and I was already hit and would slow down pretty fast if I moved a lot. So our plan of action:…
…And if we had anything better we would rule the world.
So we stood there. Frozen. Like little bunnies.
"Any ideas Mr. Spectacular?" I asked.
"Not if you want to get shot again."
"That's so helpful."
"Well actually, I kind of is."
"Wha- how! Either way we are going to get shot idiot!"
"Just wait."
Just wait? Wait for what? A circus? Maybe if the circus came we could run away with them. Ya that would be fun. Me and Sayoran could be the opening act. 'The Crazy Runaways'. Great title.
So now what? We were waiting. For what? I didn't know. Why? Didn't know that either. Sayoran was tricky. But why would he wait for two people to catch up with us to shoot us?… oh I see.
You know that special little train that rides on the train tracks. Ya.. That special little train was still coming. And guess what? Creep guys were almost in front of the special little train. But you know… I wasn't a big fan of watching people get run over by trains. So as the creepy guys were just in front of the train and noticed a little too late I turned around. Splat… Yep. It was one big Splat.
If I didn't have a strong stomach, I would have been puking everywhere. Lucky me.
"So. That was interesting. How about we go now. I think you need to walk it off."
I was way a head of him there.
Yes this would be chapter 8. Have fun reading.
