As The Days Go By

As I was standing there, locking from Chop's eyes as the days we're going, in this prison, he calls home I started to slowly learn his routine and, for better or for worse I started planning our escape from this cursed place. But then, one day, as the winter was fast to show, a letter comes into the church, a letter from the king itself. The king was ill, and as he already gave his son the throne and almost all his welt, he was in need of help. He was an old friend of the priest, as they grow together, so he asked for the priest to give in one of the kids to him. It would be like the king adopted one of us, but since he left almost everything in his son's hands he didn't have many reaches, he was an old man who lives in a small mansion at the border of the country. No one of the kids would want to go in these conditions, not even Ben, who hated this place as much as I do won't even consider it. Chop was too scared to leave the church, but I saw it as an opportunity to leave this place and give this kid a hope in this world. So whit that being said I finally tuck control over this kid's body and offered to go to the king. This was it, my gate to liberty.

"Ah. Father. I would like to go take care of his majesty. That is if you would allow it."

"Oh. 1 21. I could not hope for a batter caretaker for the former king. In the end, you are one of the best of God's child from this church. Would you like to go?"

"Y-Yes Father!" I said, never thinking about the consequences. I was glad to leave this place.

After all of that, I started packing and preparing to go. After all that was done, I had one more thing to do, so I left the room where all the kids were sleeping and search for Burn. I finally found him, staring at the stars on the balcony.

"Hey Burn, or rather Ben, I need to talk to you."

"Yeh, sure. I am listening."

"Let's meet up in 4 years. Exactly 4 years from now, at the center of the town. Ok?"

"Yeh, that is fine whit me. That is all?"

"Oh, no. Actually, I wanted to tell you, before I leave, that I am..."

"You are Jonathan. Is that right?"

"How did you know?"

"Your eyes are red again. They were the same when we first arrived here. Back then I had a feeling that it was you. So you can call it a hunch."

"Yeh well, we are not home anymore. I hope you will agree on whit me when I say that I don't want to destroy these kids' life. So can we forget what happened back then? Can we start all over?"

"Well men, I don't know. I guess you will have your answer in about 4 years."

And whit all that my journey to the king started.

"Hey, Jonathan, why did you tell him?"

"Please call me Jo. And I did that because now, in 4 years I will have either a strong ally or the worst enemy. I took a gamble."

And whit that I was finally free.
