CH: 5- False Alarm
Robin's POV:
Preston dragged me to the building his hand upon my arm did no good for me to try to escape from him. The people were staring at us as we passed by and he led me to the searching center just to be sure of his accusation. He had to be sure that the test would come negative and that I was a sense offender. He left me to be tested and when the result came by the blood check up he could not believe that the result was actually telling that I was positive.
"She is positive, Sir. The Prozium has been found in her blood."
"Do it again" Preston said and when this time the test came positive as before Preston could not believe it, but he had to let me go for it was the false alarm and I was free to go once again home without a fear.
Unlocking the door of my apartment, I found Mary waiting for me in the living room alone. At first, I was taken back by her appearance then it hit me that I had made a copy of a key that I had gave to her few days ago. She had already heard about my capture but she was at the peace when she found that I was back home.
"I was worried that they would find out."
"I know, " I told her with a small smile." It was a close call."
"But how did you manage not to be detected for we both know you had quit using it for a year?"
"I have managed to inject myself just once before I was caught and the test turned out to be positive so they let me go." I wanted to add more when the door opened and Partridge stepped in.
"Where is she?" Mary stood up to meet him." Do not tell me that they got her."
"She is here safe and sound. Everything is under the control." She led him back to the living room where I was.
Before I could react I found myself in his arms. No longer I saw Cleric there but a warm and carrying man whom I hugged back as well.
"I am fine really, it was a just a false alarm." I told him.
"You better tell me how did you manage to fool them?"
Partridge POV:
When Robin finished the talking I could not believe that she managed to slip through Preston's hands like the grain of sand. It was so hard to believe that she was ok now.
"But how is it that possible that the test told you were positive when you were off from Prozium for a year?"
"I have managed to inject myself only once a day before the work so I would not cause any suspicion and I was safe for the temple did not have Clerics around to notice the change."
"And yet you had managed to slip from Preston's fingers so easily. This is of course unbelievable."
"I know, but I had to take that risk one way or another. What a choice I do have?"
"You have a chance to feel to do not forget that." Mary replied.
"Yes, I do." I said as Mary stood up.
"I better get going before the things go uneasy. I'll see you soon." Robin bid her a good bye and now she was alone with me again.
"You love him don't you?"
"That is it why I had chosen to do this even to die because I love him and he does not know it or he would never experience as the feeling itself." Robin spoke faintly voice filled up with the emotion. "I sometimes ask myself was this a wrong thing to do?"
"You have done it cause your heart still does believe that there is it a chance to make him feel. You had done this cause you had no choice and had not chose if it was right or wrong but by own free will." I told her." I know it is risky and that you can loose your life faster in a blink of an eye but at least you would know that you are not dying in the vain and without a hope."
