…………
I can’t keep going on like this. This constant running, are they even after me anymore?...You know what, that’s a stupid question of course they are but those idiots are probably going nuts trying to find me. I changed directions how many times now? Yea-
“ Aughh!” …That man I dragged out of their range with me collapsed….out of shape idiot…..I should probably figure out why he was so close to the village.
“Why…where you… close to that…place!? Don’t you…know what would…happen to you….if toi got to close?! They don’t take kindly to out of shape people like you!”
“I…I…What? Why did….you do…that!? I was…just fine….walking…on…my own… why did…you…grab my wrist and yank me….to run with you? ” ….That stupid look he’s giving me. The idiot really doesn’t know I just saved his life.
“…You were heading in the direction of my home. Well, old accueil now I guess. They don’t like your type. toi would have ended up dead plus than likely if toi continued on, idiot.”
“…Oh….Um…Okay then…I guess…Thanks?”
“Whatever.” Looking around my current environment….I have no clue where I am. Guess that’s to be expected th- UGH That pain in my back! I forgot that Seth got me back there I completely forgot in the rush and in the same rush my body must have ignored the pain....
“Hey….what happened… to your back, it’s bleeding ….pretty …badly..” Is he STILL catching his breath? Geez!
“None of your business!” I shouted that louder than I should have.. Crap what if they’re still close?! We should keep running!
“Hey salut no need to get pushy! I got a First Aid kit! We should bandage that up, ou at least stop the bleeding. You’re losing a lot.”
“We don’t have time for that bullshit! They’re probably going nuts trying to find me! We have to keep moving!”
“Who’s going nuts trying to find you?”
“I a dit none of your damned business!” I don’t trust this twit enough to tell him anything.
“Fine fine geez. Can toi at least tell me your name?”
“…..Lucas.”
“Finally some answers! My name is Bo”
“That’s a fucking stupid name.”
“….Well it’s not my birth name I guess but-“
“ Listen, I really don’t care. We have to keep moving.”
“I’m….to tired… Listen, we’ve been running for a long time do toi really think whoever it is who’s chasing us is still chasing us? Even if they are, with that gash on your back, I don’t think it’s sûr, sans danger for toi to run anymore”
“I..ugh, shut up! toi don’t understand! How persistent these people are! I should have just let toi keep going so they would grab you, to slowdown them down from chasing me.”
“Hey! Persistent ou not! toi are going to die if toi keep running! We’re high up in the mountains, it’s harder to breathe up here don’t toi know! With that blood loss toi have less blood to spread the oxygen around when you’re already short on air! At least let me bandage your back!”
“…I lived up here my entire life…There’s other areas not like this? That are easier to breathe in?”…..Regardless of what I’m used to…I hate to admit it but..
“I guess you’re right anyway, fine. Where’s this damn First Aid kit?”
“Thank you. Just let me get it out of my bag. Take off your veste and chemise so I can get to the wound.”
“Fine fine just hurry up! I don’t like waiting around.”
“It won’t I promise….Hey what does this tattoo mean? I’ve been a lot of places but I never seen a design like that.”
“What the-? Doesn’t everyone have one?”
“What? No, why would everyone have one?”
“It’s just…you know what never mind.” Can we cut the small talk already?
“Um, okay, well what does it mean? It’s a cool symbol!” Ugh this guy’s persistent, but I guess he’s the only person I know that doesn’t want me dead ou imprisoned right now so I guess it wouldn’t hurt if I told him. It’s such a stupid thing..
“It means nothing to me now. They gave me it when I was young. Just as they do to everyone when they’re born where I’m from. Don’t know why.”
“Your parents gave a tattoo toi when toi were a baby!? Isn’t that abuse?!”
“Well, it’s a standard, so it wasn’t their choice, I guess.”
“A standard in what, hell!?”
“…It’s really hard to agree because I don’t have anything to compare it to. This is the first time I left their grounds. I can say that it was anything but pleasant living there though.”
“I don’t think the Queen would allow this. Where the hell are toi from?!” What is he talking about?
“What’s a queen?”
“What? How do toi not know what a Queen is? Better yet our queen?”
“…Why does it matter if she would ou would not allow it? The higher up’s will it, so it is enforced.”
“What’s a higher up?”
“What are you, an idiot? Higher ups are the people who rule the area I’m from. I figured there was a set of them with each of their own rules for every town.”
“What? No. The Queen rules this entire country. Yeah, every town may have a mayor, ou something of the sort, but every town, village and city has to conform to the base rules that she and her family set up to keep consistency and order.”
“That’s….so weird.” Is the outside world really this different? …Maybe this was a mistake…Maybe the higher ups where right..
“...Done, you’re all bandaged up, think we still need to keep moving?”
“Thanks, and, toi bet your cul, ass we do, we’ve been sitting around here for far too long, I’m surprised those fuckers didn’t catch up to me yet; Bo was it?.”
“Yeah, okay let’s go.” Finally!
….
…We’ve been moving for hours now. This Bo guy hasn’t a dit a word yet but I can tell from his face he’s exhausted…I hate to admit it but so am I…..I think it’s sûr, sans danger to stop and rest for the night, but we got to stay covered…just in case.
“Alright I think this is far enough, we can rest, but I still want to be off to the side a bit so we’re hidden from sight.”
“Thank god!” …He just collapsed. Wow.
“I a dit off to the side not on the ground!”
“I’ll get there eventually.”
“Lazy ass.”
“I’m tired what plus do toi want!”
“For toi to get off to the side so they don’t see us!”
“I honestly don’t think it will make much of a difference…We’re in the middle of a forest surrounded par trees that cover us. You’re paranoid about these people….whoever they are, Lucas.”
“Well of course I am! The higher ups have stated that the number one rule is to never leave, because it’s too dangerous on the outside, and that if someone managed to leave the higher ups wouldn’t stop until I’m either dead ou in their custody, well guess what I did!”
“To dangerous? I don’t think they’re worried about your safety if they would rather toi dead then out here.”….I never realized that. Maybe he’s not that stupid after all.
“…You know what you’re right. Huh, I wonder why they don’t want anyone to leave.”
"Next question, why did toi leave whatever this place is if they’re going to kill toi if toi got out?”
“None of your business.” Personal much?
“Oh, sorry. Uhm, well, do toi really know nothing about what it’s like out here?”
“…I only know what they told me, which isn’t much; ou anything good for that matter. I’m not sure if I believe them.”
“Okay, well, get this, I travel this country, I play my musique on the rue to make a living. Don’t let that fool you; I have enough money to support the basic needs of both of us. I don’t want to get into why though.”
“What are toi getting at?”
“Unless you’re crazy, toi apparently saved my life. I think I could repay toi par letting toi travel with me and see the country. Also, since we’ll always be on the move, if these people you’re so afraid of happen to get a lead on you, we’ll be in another town par the suivant month, however it would be nice if toi worked too just to make things easier, are toi good at anything?”
“ I’m a good fighter, but I could just do basic physical labor.”
"That works!"
“…Everyone I know other then toi want me dead ou in prison, and I don’t want to be out here all clueless, so I don’t really have much of a choice do I?.....Thanks for the offer, I'll take it.” Maybe this guy isn’t too bad after all.
“No problem Lucas! I was getting lonely traveling alone anyway!”
….I hope I don’t regret this escape.
