"GRAB THAT THIEF!!"
I hear someone shout at me. Obviously, they try to chase me, if what he says didn't ring a bell to anyone. And here I am, running again, trying to escape his wrath. Now the things that I steal- wait no, I mean- the things that I borrow is 2 long bread. Enough for all of my families. Ok, back to action. I start to look for any nearby alley. Unfortunately, there isn't any ally. Well that leave me no choice but run anywhere as long as he didn't catch me. screw with getting lost.
Finally, after some turn, I can see a not-so-small alley. without thinking, I run to the alley. I look back only to see he still chasing me. I start to speeding up my pace. I took a turn and run while looking to see he still far. I can't help but grin at his speed. What a slow pig. Suddenly, I bumping into a really big white wall.
'Oh shit, what should I do right now?!'
I start to observing surround me, start to thinking what can I get to escape. The wall between me is made from brick. Maybe I can climb it? Without any further though, I climb the brick, it's a little hard since the brick is small, so there isn't much handle for me.
A cry of pain escapes from me as I fall hard to ground. It's harder than its look. Now I have to deal with the pain and scrapes that filling my palm.
"HA! YOU CAN'T GET AWAY NOW!"
'shit, he's close. I have to climb really fast.'
I try to climb the brick wall again. ignoring the pain in my hand is already hard, and now I have to bear the fast beating of my heart. Adrenaline rush to me as I climb
'come on, come on! Just a little bit then I can grab the top of that white wall!'Finally, I made it. Now I can grab the top of it with my right hand. With silent pray, I jump so I can grab the top with both of my hand. As I grasp the top of the white wall, I start to climb it, with a normal hand, It's not that hard, with scrapes palm? It is really difficult. The pain from it make my hand shacking. Now the angry guy is already under me. just as he wants to yanks my leg, I feel a sudden power and I can get myself jumping through the wall. No perfect landing because I'm too focusing on my palm. It hurts and now its bleeding rather hard. I land with my back first then I rolled and curled up, placing my palm close to my chest. The sting sensation almost make me tear up.
"W-who are you?! W-what are you doing at my house?!"
'wait, this is a person house?! Oh great Ruby, you just got yourself into more trouble."I turn my head slightly to look at the person. There, stood a beautiful girl with alabaster hair that flow like snow on winter, flawless pale skin with a perfect scar on her left eye that show me figure of a tough princess, and pair clear blue eyes that remind me of warm sky at summer. In any novel or fairy tale, It will be a good momentum for me, if it's not the fact that she points her rapier to me. I try to speak despite heavy breathing and stinging sensation.
"w-wait…. I-I'm not here…to rob you…or… anything… I just… escaping… from a wrath…please…don't…don't stab me…" I managing to say all of that. The girl didn't look impressed by my explanation, so she didn't let her rapier down. Her eyes grow stern and hard. She points her rapier closer to my head. Okay, now I start to think of her as an ice queen.
"And why, are you escape here? And why, that person is angry to you? Answer me."
I took a long inhale and say, "because… I don't know where to go. And I'm stuck in that alley… so that's either escape here, or die. For the reason he's angry…."
I look at her eyes. It's still the same hard and stern gaze. I guess I didn't have much choice, am I?
"I stole some bread from his store to feed my families, I don't have a choice! Its either steal, or die from hunger! So please don't kill me!" she still not lowered her rapier. But her eyes didn't as hard as before.
"please… they still expecting me to go home…I … I have to bring these bread to them…" I say as I reveal 2 long hard bread from my bag. I don't know what to do if I'm not going back to them. They will be worried if I didn't go home… please…
"I don't know what to do…" I mumble to myself. But I think she heard me, she lowered her rapier and then sheathed it back. She sighing and look to her side, it's like she thinking her decision. Finally, she locked her eyes to me. stern blue meets teary silver.
"okay, I believe in you. But I'm sorry you have to leave soon. I can't risk my father see stranger in his house and me not doing anything." She says to me as she looked to the wall.
"can I wait a little longer? Until I know that person is gone and… my hand didn't feel so sting… please? I can't climb the wall if my hand like this…" I say to her, hoping any mercy from her.
I show her my palm that full of scrapes and blood. I smile sadly at my hands, how will I explain this to Sindra?
'what do I say to Sindra now? Should I say I trip into a rock and fall? No way, fall because tripping? Heh, she will kill me, as if she will buy it. Or I can say that I fall from helping a lady get her cat from a tree? hemm…. Maybe she buys it, hopefully.'
As I focus to think as an excuse, I failed to see the alabaster haired girl looked intently to my hand. She looked around and go away, saying nothing to me. as I looked up, she already gone. No traces leave behind. I lean my back to the wall. I noticed that there are a lot of flower. Maybe this is her garden. And there is another thing that I notice, and that is,
'HOLY SHIT! HER HOME IS HUGEEEE!"I scream inside my mind. Like, what the hell?! Her home is like a castle! Why I never notice this?! With a house this huge, I can see it from my home! Why I never notice it?!
'Because you're too busy stealing from people'Hey! No, I'm not!
'yes, you are'I'm not stealing! I'm borrowing!
'yeah yeah. It's the same.'No, it's not!
'Yes, it is.'AGH! Whatever! Why I am arguing with my own mind?!!
I shake my head to stop this useless argue. After there is no other argument in my mind, I looked the girl from before walk to me with a… bandage? Wait, wait… don't tell me…
"here, let me see your palm, you said it yourself that it hurt right?"
'She offering me help?!'
