Chapter 151

Alice is looking back at me now, and she's grinning, she's grinning from ear-to-ear and I wonder why that is.

Then it strikes me, i cannot tell you exactly how much things are striking me today, it is almost like I am a target point and each and everything that happens is an arrow because it always takes me some time to realise exactly what is happening.

It always takes me sometime to realise exactly what has transpired and my eyes fly wide open at this.

She has won, she actually won, she actually won our little bet and I guees that shouldn't suprise me, but yet, I still bore some hope in my heart, I still bore some hope in my heart that I would be the one who would finally emerge the Victor, and like the countless shocked faces in the crowd, I am also appalled at exactly what I have to pay.

I mean everyone is practically grumbling, you can hear an audible grumble from the crowd as people start to protest and I'm guessing that no one had expected this.

Some people are smiling though, some select people are smiling and I wonder how they had enough sense to actually bet on Damen. I'm guessing that this is going to be Charlotte's work. I don't know why I know it, i just know it. I know that it is going to be a handwork for people to bet foolishly on silver eyes, and then lose so unusually to Damen.

I wonder exactly how much she's making from this, I know how much Alice has made from this though, I know how much she has made from this and I wonder exactly what a promise would entail.

"Please spare me" I say and she simply starts laughing.

"Don't worry I'm not going to ask for anything too difficult, you simply need to go out with Adrian".

The moment she says this my body practically freezes 

"You said what?" I say and she nods her head.

"I said it the first time, I won't say it again, you need to get yourself ready tomorrow, we are all going out of this place"

"You guys actually get to leave?" I say and she nods her head.

"Do you really think that anyone would still be in their right mind if they were cooped up in this place for such a long period of time. I mean we practically take little outings once in a while"

"And by once in a while, you mean once in two months or once in three months?" I ask her.

She shakes her head.

"Anytime we get permission to actually leave this place".

A burst of nostalgia fillls me as I cannot imagine exactly what living here would feel like.

"What does it feel like?" I ask her and she simply smiles.

"It is the best feeling in the world, knowing that you leave this hell hole to go explore the world outside".

It seems it is now that I remember I actually came from that world outside.
