I'm not scared anymore

Chapter twenty two: RUN

      "Where do you think you are going." I heard my nurses from behind me. "Away" I answered, trying to continue walking. "No you are not. I received instructions from Sister Susan to not let you leave." The nurse said. "I'm going" I said, trying to go forward. "Look at you, you can't even stand straight, where would you go?" The nurse said. "I have to warn my friends" i said. "I can't let you do that, calm her down." The nurse said to the other two. "No, don't touch me!" I yelled, tears filling my eyes.

        The two nurses grabbed me from my arms, keeping me in place. "No, let me go!" I yelled, trying to struggle out of their hold. "Don't make this harder for yourself" The nurse said. Next thing i know, i feel a needle pierce the skin of my arm. "No, stop!" I yelled as the nurse injected me with something. My whole body started feeling numb and heavy. "Why are you doing this?" I whisper.

        "This isn't anything personal, or well, maybe a little" I hear Sister Susan's voice behind me. I turned to look at her, she was standing there behind me, with a mischievous smirk on her face.

      I then feel my eyelids getting heavier and heavier. My whole body was so heavy that i couldn't bear it anymore. My vision turned completely black and my legs gave in under me, only nurses arms supporting me now. That's when i lost my consciousness.

Aether's pov:

Me and Mountain decided to try and get as far from the church as we could by foot. We tried to stay as far from the road as we could, wandering through the forest.

          We'd been walking for hours, both of us started to get sleepy. In addition to that, i felt horrible. It felt wrong, leaving Sunshine behind. Yes, Copia said that he would look after her, but still i am so worried about her. What if Sister does something to her, i should be there to protect her. Why did i let her go to the nurse by herself in the first place. Guilty feeling rise up to my chest, how can i live with myself if something happens to her.

         "We have to find a place to spend the night" Mountain said. "Yeah, but where. We can't go to town, sister would find us there right away." I said. "I don't know" Mountain said.

        We continued walking, we had slowed down our pace since we were already pretty far away from the church. "Look there is a small cabin" Mountain said, pointing to the little house in the middle of woods. The cabin looked so old, there is no way no one could live there. "That thing looks like it's gonna fall apart any second." I said. "Yeah, but at least we would have a roof over our heads and we could catch a couple of ours of sleep before continuing our way." Mountain said. "I guess you are right."

         We headed to the cabin. The door squeaks as i pushed it open. Inside was dark, no sign that no one had lived there in a while. There was still some old furniture, but they were covered with dust and spider webs. We placed our stuff on the floor.

          "Should we take turns sleeping? So other one can watch that no one comes here" Mountain asked. "Yeah, i can watch first." I answered. Mountain laid down on the dusty sofa, sweeping some of the dirt off first.

          I sat down on the ground next to door. As i sat down, Luna jumped on my lap, twirling a few times before laying down and curling up into a small ball. I placed my hand on her, stroking her soft and warm fur. "I miss her too" I whispered quietly.

         I leaned my head to the wall behind me. I should be there with her, not here. I was such a coward for running away and not staying with her. My head filled with the worst possible things that could happen to her, what sister could do to her. I can't even text her, i'm sure that Sister has her phone, so if i text her i can't be sure if it'ss her that would be answering. I let out a deep sigh. Copia better keep his word.
