Chapter 4-Run Away

Chapter 4

Zoe's POV

I sat in front of miss Agatha as she opened her books and got ready to lecture me for the day.

“Let’s go on Biology,” she said and went ahead to write on the whiteboard.

I watched blearily as she wrote down a little note which I copied into my book and after that, she did some explaining.

When she was done with Biology, she went into maths, then Science, and finally English.

“Were you able to go through the book I assigned you to read?” She asked as she sat in front of me.

“Yes,” I replied, bringing the book out from my bag.

“So, how was it?”

“Well, it was nice. Just didn’t like the way it ended. I mean, the part of the boy dying. It’s tragic” I replied.

“Well, that’s called true love. He risked his life for the girl” she said.

"What Romeo and Juliet have is a true definition of true love, they experienced it and it was also because that same love they experienced was too deep, that's why they died" she explained 

“But…does such thing exist? True…love? Like, something that’d make a boy die for a girl?” I asked and she chuckled.

“it’s not just a boy, Zoe. It can also be a girl. And yes, it exists” she replied with a smile.

“But…what does it feel like? I mean, love. What does it feel like that it’d have to involve suchlike sacrifices?”

She smiled and stared at the ceiling.

“Love is a beautiful thing, a priceless experience. The two hearts become intertwined and beat together as one.” She said.

“Really?” I exclaimed, becoming more interested.

“So, tell me, miss Agatha, How do people fall in love? Like…how does it happen? How can someone know she’s in love?”

“Well, you’ll feel it. If you’re in love with someone, your reaction towards that person changes. You always want to spend time with him and no matter what he does to you, you find it difficult to stay mad at him. He occupies your every thought and you become willing to make sacrifices just for him. Those are part of the signs of love”.

I kept silent and reminisced over it, smiling.

I wonder what it feels like, to fall in love and be loved in return.

“So…have you also been in love?” I looked at her and asked, smiling.

“Of course. But…” she paused and stared downwards with a smile 

“Not important anyway. So…”

"It seems you are really in love, just tell me about it"

"Yes I did, Ryan's dad, he is so caring, adorable, I remember the first time we met, he was very shy and he was.....  

She was still talking when a call suddenly entered her phone and she picked it up.

" Hello?"

"Yes?

"What? No!"

"Okay; I’ll be there immediately"

And she ended the call.

“Oh, my God, Zoe, just got an urgent call from home. I need to hurry there immediately” she said

"My son Ryan had an accident while coming home" she said in haste as she stood up with her bag.

What? Miss Agatha never leaves until mum returns home from work. This is going to be my first time being home alone.

“Just stay safe and wait for your mum, okay? I’ll call her now and tell her about the urgency so she can hurry up from work okay?” She said, perturbed.

“Okay miss Agatha. Bye” I replied and she ran out the door.

I stood up and looked through the window as she ran away through the woods. The door was opened and mum wasn’t at home, no one at all.

I shook my head and returned to my seat. The crazy idea kept niggling at me but I decided to wave it aside.

Mum has told me it’s best to stay here. She doesn’t want me to go out. So, maybe I should just obey her.

But I’ve been obeying her for 18 years now. I’m now a lady. For how long will I continue hiding in here?

I took in a deep breath and stood up again.

I want to explore the world; know what it looks like and meets new people. I want to feel human. I’m tired of being locked in here like a slave. I think it’s high time I took a stand.

I ambled to the door and turned the knob. It opened. I suddenly felt nervous.

No; I shouldn’t be. I need to do this.

Perhaps, just a little viewing, and I’ll return.

Yes, I will.

Taking another deep breath, I opened the door and ran out.

Tracy's POV

I walked into Damon’s room and found him sleeping on the bed.

Hm.

I drew close and admired him. Geez! He was just too handsome and killing. I don’t mind getting my pu*sy f**ked by him the whole day. Too bad he’s only had me once and doesn't have a lady twice...

Never!!

I smiled and went over to the table to drop the file I came to return.

I was about to leave the room when he suddenly woke up frighteningly. I almost screamed.

He just sat up at once with full force like someone who was awaking from a mighty nightmare.

He was breathing heavily at first, but it subsided and became normal.

“She’s out,” he said calmly, staring in one direction.

Huh?

“I can feel her”.

“S…Sir?” I stuttered, confused.

Who’s he talking about?

He paused and looked at his palm...

“Edward's daughter.” He said.

“I can feel her. She’s close, but..."

"I'm also preserving another smell" he frowned

"Another smell," I asked confused

"Like the smell of the mate bond," he explained

"Mate"...
