CH12: Escape

CHAPTER 12:

Escape

“I never intended this to happen. If I have known it from the start then I shouldn’t have helped Luka before.” This is what’s Gakupo been thinking over and over again. He is currently locked inside his own room with guards blocking his own doors. His room is located on the 5th storey so he can’t even escape from the windows. While sitting in the corner thinking of what he have done, he also thought of taking his own life.

But will that give him positive results? He is a scholar and knows better that his brain is useless if his dead. He can’t change anything if he tried killing himself so he ended up reminiscing his past.

What’s your problem?

“No mother, I just wanted to end this Gypsy era so that no more sacrifices will be done.”

Are you regretting your choices now?

“I chose this path. I’ll end this myself until I die.”

Don’t over excel yourself. Remember you can’t do jobs alone. You’ll need help to accomplish everything at ease.

“Who would help someone like me?”

Just trust yourself son and the fate.

Gakupo looked at the ceiling with a regret face. “I’m being delusional now? Talking to myself; this is the worst case I never think of.” He sighed while thinking of his own mother. “I need to get out from here. I want to know more on what’s really happening. If fate really roots for me then this is the right time for a help.”

As he was about to lose hope, the doors from his room opened that made him surprise. What made him more shock was seeing a person he didn’t expect to see.

“I see you're doing great there my friend.” Kaito greeted Gakupo with a smile while holding the knock out guard and some keys; “We don’t have much time, this is a great opportunity for an escape. What do you think?”

 Gakupo suddenly smiled and stood up to where his sitting; “Fate really responded to me faster than I expected hehehe…”

“Huh?” – Kaito

“Never mind, I’ll tag along.” He walked along side with Kaito going to where Len is.

Meanwhile Meiko and Len keep knocking out some guards surrounding at them.

“Heh! You’ll never win in a fight with this number of guards! Hahaha!” Luka laughs as she watches both of them still fighting at the guards and couldn’t get close to even Ruko.

“If this continues we will lose stamina for sure!” Meiko clashes her sword to some guards while shouting at Len; “We should retreat!”

“But I need to find my sister!” Len is struggling to maintain his defense, but worrying at Rin’s sake is making him loose focus.

Both Meiko and Len met in the middle facing their back to each other.

“We need a distraction to escape; your sister was already sent at the Dragon’s Lair so I can assure you she’s no longer here..!” Meiko whispered at Len while they look at the guards surrounding them.

“Then you’ll need our help?!” a voice suddenly echoed throughout the hallway. It was Kaito’s voice with Gakupo supporting him at the back.

Kaito rushes to the scene and throw some smoke bombs that made everyone’s vision blurry.

“Don’t let them escape!! Stand firm and arrest them!!!” Luka made a final order. The guards tried looking everywhere but they couldn’t see a thing.
