In thirty days. Chapter thirty.
It's been two days that I have been locked here.Everything feels like a dream.It's hard to believe what Athena's father said about the blue rose illness and it's relation with the sirens.If it is true, then did Alpha Luke know?He said he couldn't save her, that there was no cure to the blue rose illness—or he just lied.If letting my mom go back to the sea would save her why didn't he?Why did he let her die that son of a bitch!!He must have known. He did know.He killed her.I close my eyes pressing down on the swirling thoughts in my head.Those doesn't matter for now.I need to get out here first, and then—i will drag that bitch to death with me.Knowing that there will be no one coming to my rescue dims my chances of ever leaving here alive.Since I packed my things with me everyone must be thinking I ran away. Well I did. But see where it landed me.Maybe I shouldn't have run away. I should have just told Emilliano and—"Huh—forget about it. It is too late to show regrets."

My vision is met by a bland darkness when I open my eyes.The rough feeling of the hard, uneven ground against my back inflicts a sharp pain on my spine, and I shuffle for a while before been able to sit upright.It takes about a minute for my eye sight to adjust to the blinding dimness in the room I am in.The ceiling goes high, a natural curved surface without any colour. Looking around the tomb like space gives me the same feeling as when I was in my basement room at Alpha Luke's pack.I drag myself to my feet, the light dizziness weighing on my shoulder.The last thing I remember is that I was on my way to my escape from Emilliano. And then—i scrunch my brows, racking my head.And then—footsteps—Someone came from behind me and that is where it stopped.The air has a messy smell of dust and age, from the corner I am, I can faintly make out the shape of a square shape—chamber like thing in the middle of the room.It gives off a weird feeling and I wouldn't be needing the alarms g

The moment I am out of the queen's palace, I quickly rush back to my room.I can't let her arrangements ruin my plan of escaping. I need to leave today!I sit on the bed, hugging the small bag back in my arms.Time tick by slowly, and I keep glancing at the small, pink clock next to the bed.The moment the small hand is on the number nine and it is just twenty minutes before the count of ten, I stand up. Taking a survey glance around the room.This will be my last time here.I place the letter I wrote inside the closet, which is not easy, and also not hard to find.I strap the bag on my back, walk out of the door with tensed nerves, and proceed to walk towards the direction of Ruby's room, hoping I can fool whoever I don't know is watching.Taking in a deep breath, I glance around secretly from the side of my eyes before swerving into a dark corner.I enter into the utility room Emilliano took me to last time, change out of my outfit and into a different one, put my bag into a already

Clothes?I don't need much.I look around the room with the small, bag pack that I left the pack with before.Around every corner in the room is literally things that belongs to me. The double pink pillow Emiliano got for me cause his was too hard. He also got a chair cushion of the same color.And there is the teddy bears we won from the park. At the corner of the bed is the neon, electric lamp that Ruby got for me. She also got me a lot of things like scent candles, plushies and some more I had to solemnly decline before she took them away.There are even more of my things than Emilliano's.I really wish I can take them with me. Just so I can remember these people.But—I look at the bag in my hand. It really is too small.What do I do? Do I take a bigger bag?But that will make it easier for me to be detected.I plop on the bed and lie flat. Letting the familiar scent of Emilliano surround me.Although I have never acknowledged it, the fresh, after rain scent has slowly become my

But first—i need to clarify something." He states.Huh—"The engagement with Athena is no longer valid." Huh—what?As if the shock wasn't enough, he seriously adds. "Let's get married instead."Am i—dreaming?A huge gust of cold breeze slams into my face. Confirming the reality of the situation."But—but—didn't you plan to just deceive the queen before?" My thoughts are in jumbles which directly affects my speech. "What about the plan to go our separate ways?""That was before." He says without a change in his expression. "My feelings have changed, so has the plan."Wnat—what no."Can you really just cut off the engagement with Athena like that? What about the queen?" I say with complicated feelings.She wouldn't allow it will she? After all, she doesn't likes me."You don't have to worry about her." He assures.Why? Why not?!!"Uh—uhm is it really possible for us to get married? Like....me and you....I mean I am just human—and you are a prince, there are literally power dynamics in

He didn't say anything.Just takes my hand as we walk to reunite with the rest.I glance at him from the corner of my eyes, unable to read the expression on his face.Seeing the group of people who I had thoughtlessly abandoned from afar, I can't help but feel guilty."I am sorry." I say sincerely, eyes trailing on my feet.I really wasn't thinking when I agreed to follow Tom to the drop zone. Or while I even left them behind in the first place."It's okay. As long as you are fine." Ruby embraces me just the way Emilliano had done earlier. Even patting on my hair gently. "Just don't—dont do that again, ever, okay?"Don't do It again—"Okay?" Ruby looks down, staring deep into my eyes and for a moment I fear she would see the secrets I keep.How can I not leave? My head buzz's, still I force a nod, spitting out the words. "Okay."I glance to the side, and my gaze meet with Athena's. The complicated expression on her eyes spoke in volumes to me.Especially when I know why.But I really

I keep walking without looking back, until he unfortunately catches up with me."Little kid. Hey little kid."Little kid? I blink in disbelief. Is he referring to me?"Hey kid. Are you lost?" In the moment of shock, and disbelief, he is already standing in front of me.The man was wearing a handless t-shirt, despite the cold, and a blue jeans trouser. His dark black hair are tossed around wildly, and his sharp chin as small, bits of stubble on them.Why, why would he think I am a kid?"Do you need any help in finding your parents, I can take you—""I am not lost. And I am not a kid!!" I breath out in annoyance."You are—""I am going nineteen." I huff."Hah—" it is now his turn to wallow in disbelief. "You really are nineteen? You are so short, aren't you fifteen or something?"Fifteen. Fifteen? The audacity?"I am nineteen, and an adult." I try to explain."Okay. I am sorry ma'am. I apologize ma'am." He says sincerely managing to pacify half of my annoyance.In what way do I look f

"What are you planning on doing?" Ruby questions with narrowed eyes."I saw some game booths earlier. We can do that first." Athena answers without a change in expression.The two of them does a stare off and just when I thought it wouldn't end, Ruby stands up, dusting her black pants. "Lead the way."I let out a sigh in relief, Darius and Royce also mirroring my expression.Thankfully the first booth we chose didn't shut down, nor have any technical issue.The booth has some people waiting but they aren't that many. The owner has a short height, a round figure, and a black curly moustache under his nose.At the side, there are different sizes fluffy toys which are prizes for winning. The game is pretty simple. There are a row of different color balloon tied up quite a distance away from the player , and you are given a dart to pop as much as you can."Want to go first?" Darius looks down at me and I shake my head, thoroughly discouraged. There is no way I am hitting any one of thos
In thirty days. Chapter twenty two.
So the outing consists of Ruby, Athena, Darius and Royce, all of them looking tall and matured with me squashed in the middle wearing a big white coat and looking like a fifteen year old child.Everyone is just so tall except for me!! Once again I can't help but envy the werewolf gene which fully avoided me.So unfair!!It took more than an hour before we arrived at the amusement park. And we had to use our finger prints for entrance.Something I have only seen in the movies before. So cool!!Ruby and Darius sat down at a side to plan the rides we will be taking. Which is more of fighting and snaring at each other with the poor planner paper thoroughly squeezed from both of their assault.I look at Royce who has the expression 'i do not know those people.' on his face, and decided to do the same.Athena standing next to me has a frown on her face while she looks around."See, there is an ice cream stall over there." I point at a stall which is oozing a delicious scent the whole surro
