8 Years Ago

sweat dripping down our foreheads, breaths hitched, heart pumping with adrenaline, a warm hand clasping mine
people yelling behind us to stop

yet we continued to run

our tiny legs barely keeping us away from the guards that were chasing us
tears of fear were streaming down my cheeks, i really thought this would be the end for us

your small hand pulling and pushing me into a corner as the guards ran past us
small hics and sniffles escape my lips, i was scared, i didn't get why we were being chased, all we wanted was some food
a small hand clasps over my mouth, looking up and seeing you in front of me, your eyes filled with courage and determination

meanwhile mines were filled with fear and sadness

"it'll be okay clay! we have each other!" your voice reassuring me
"b-but.. they're gonna take us away for taking a bread loaf george" i managed to speak quietly

you shush me as a guard slowly walks past the spot we were hiding in
i could tell you were afraid too.. but was keeping it together for me
which is something i always admired you for

"okay the guards left.. let's go"

our hands clasp once more, gently and quietly leaving our hiding spot
the anxiety i felt, i didn't want to get caught and get a harsh punishment
i just wanted to live, even at 12 years old

after a few minutes our little legs needed a rest, sitting down finally
your eyes met mine as you pulled a big bread slice out of your jacket

the bread that we stole

"here clay! we can split half and half!"
your little voice happily splitting the loaf in half and handing me the other piece

"thank you gogy"
"we wouldn't have this if it wasn't for our teamwork clay!"

your smile made my little heart skip a beat
all this running, stealing and hiding was worth it
if it was with you
my small stomach rumbling with hunger, my teeth and mouth filled with the tasty loaf of bread
we hadn't eaten in over a week, i was finally at my breaking point, i wanted to savor the sweet flavor with you, if it wasn't for the next event that is..

"Finally caught you runts!" a firm grasp made me drop my half of the loaf from my hands
it was the castle guard that was chasing us

"let him go!"
your brave filled voice tried to attack the guard, but it was unsuccessful as you were also grabbed and restrained,
i began to cry
this was it for me, this was it for us, we're done for

"you two are in a heap of trouble"

—

our small bodies hit the floor with a thud, i couldn't see, they had put a sack over my head
but the sound of large doors closing was enough to make me cry more than i already was
i could hear you fighting off the guards, yelling and swearing at them
