13 Black

"You need to go up ma'am." The housekeeper said startling me and pulling me out of my fearful thoughts.

She locked the door behind her that is_ after we went in. She was shaking while she took me up. Something was up and I didn't even know what it was, it was my battle to fight though. I just wanted to leave_I needed to leave.

I nodded and followed her lead up the stars. There was no need for me to argue with her or to ask for her help.

She clearly saw Viper as her god and she would never defy him for me. I was nobody to her_she definitely would not risk her life or that of those she loved just for me to escape the clutches of a mad man.

A gun was on his bedside table and I immediately took it. At first I was scared of the battle that just started, then I became grateful to whoever Hua Ling was.

Whoever she was, she just gave me a free ticket to escape the lions den.

Her jealousy would help me escape. I thought to myself_I guessed this was what she wanted_that is for me to find a way out of here while Viper and his men fight her.

If this is what she wanted then I was going to give her as it was what I wanted too. I didn't know her but I knew one thing for sure_she sure as hell just made it on my good books.

I waited for one house of thinking and planning and observing-waiting for all the dust or most of the dust from the attack to impulsively run away only to end up being killed by stray bullets or a car.

It was better to stay alive in the den than to die in the middle of nowhere all for being too impatient and impulsive.

"Alright it was now or never." I said to myself as I stood up from the bed resolving in my heart that it was time to leave, but before leaving I found a paper and pen just to write a message saying I leave on my own and no one is responsible for it. I don't want innocent people to get involved because of me. Hopefully he will not harm no one because of my escape.

I took the gun from the bed where I had placed it and jumped down the window. "Shit!" My gown tore. It didn't matter though. Even though i liked the gown my life was more important than it.

I soon became afraid thinking that the whole battle was only a test-what is he was testing me to see if I had learnt my lesson. What if there were still some men outside.

He had clearly warned me not to mess with him again-so what if he had planned all this just to know if I had taken his warning.

I was scared, there were so many unanswered questions_and what if's in my head but I had already jumped and no one jumped from a window and looked back. Anyone who does so is not fit to escape.

I started to run away from the garden. There were two of his men lying dead on the ground_in a pool of their own blood.

I felt bad for them but at least it assured me that this was not all a plan of his_because if Viper had planned this then I was dead.

The gate was now in sight but it was high and closed. Although this didn't stop me from moving toward it, neigher did it instill fear in me.

I lived off adventures during highschool and this would be one of the many gates I climbed because I was definitely going to climb it.

The gate reminded me of the fences I climbed in highschool it didn't scare me one bit. In fact_whenever I came late to school and I wanted to invade punishment I climbed the fence and went straight to class so no teacher would see me coming since they were usually standing at the gate. This whenever was every time.

The gate was high but not as high as expected. It took me five minutes to climb down to the other side. Five minutes of fear,hope and a persistent feeling of being so close to death.

There was a forest just opposite the gate where I could run into.

The adrenaline I was feeling became so much. I became distracted,tired and anxious_so anxious to escape that I didn't bother to look left or right before I crossed the road and this was my biggest mistake.

A car headlight was all I saw before all became black.
