Chapter 124 Let escape reality
Arianna's POV
I heard footsteps behind me. The phone in my hand flew off and I found myself running down the stairs until I got outside this place.
It was an unfinished building and staring outside, my eyes found no driver. Obviously, they wouldn't let me go because they knew ravyen would come back for them.
I was a fool again but for a good course, to save my baby. Ravyen says he's coming, that was my hope. I clench my palms around my stomach, weeping silently and unable to move.
"Arianna?" His voice called and I shuddered when I heard the cracking sound of a gun behind me. Then the wind decided to add a little touch, to blow off the my bloody hair and dry up my sweat.
I was beaten so hard earlier by Elena and I wonder what Ivan would do.
I exhaled softly, tears filled my eyes and when I rolled slowly to take a look, Ivan was pointing me a gun. Elena was beside him, they looked satisfied and like clowns who achieved the biggest goal of their lives.
He had big grin on his face, serious and furious. That hope was gone and I knew it was too late
"Goodnight"
I shook my head as he aimed for my stomach. My whole body froze and I felt a knife pierce through my stomach, tearing off everything in it. The pain was unbearable.
I could hear Elena screaming excitedly and complimenting how good of an actor Ivan was.
My body vibrates as I fell to the ground, shivering, writhing on the ground. Blood spout from my body and I felt heavy and then empty.
I could feel something hot sizzling on my thighs. This was it, a moment I got used again and forced to meet my own death.
My eyes were opened as I wriggled, I could hear loud gunshots and retreating footsteps. Then I heard my name, a different voice. It was that of the man I waited for.
His voice has sadness in it and it was replaced by that of kylian. He kept cussing and the last I remembered was feeling his tears drop on my face.
This was more like my second death, it was obvious, I wouldn't survive it.
Then I saw a pendant dropped from his neck, it was familiar and then i knew we've met before in the past.
"Ray?"
My past life flashes before my eyes. I could hear the chirping of beds, my hands spread in a garden and I was chuckling.
I saw my teen age, running through a garden with a boy and jumping.
His face had bruises and he seems lost. He didn't join me in my gestures. I was happy because I escaped home, the isolated walls I was constrained in.
Then I found myself in someone's garden, located in the woods and I guess it belongs to this boy right here. He had a scar on his left brow and his serious face was nothing to write home about.
I came to disturb his peace as he was laying in the garden, drawing or scrambling a weird art.
"Hey, I'm Arianna" I introduced but he didn't seem friendly, he only told me to vanish as his father doesn't like strangers in his garden.
He wasn't welcoming but I liked him already because he was blunt or perhaps he was the first friend I thought I could make. I requested for his name but then he ignored me.
He seems to be in pain, and I suddenly told him;
"Do you believe in magic?"
He seems interested in that as his face brightens up and he threw his gaze at me.
"Are you my fairy godmother?"
He was awkward but then I got realize he believes fairygod mother could be in any form. I could tell he was really burden and wanting to escape something.
Being a curious person, I told him to share his problems first. He was very secretive and I didn't mind, forcing to speak because I opened about my life.
At first, I intended to become a therapist and he'd be my first client. He only told me he didn't like the life he was in and want to be tough.
Then I stretched my hand towards him with a bright smile and said;
"Let's escape reality"
He scoffed at me but then took my hand and we ran through the garden, towards the streets and exploring the city. It was fun and happiest day of my life.
I was noisy, he was quite, drawing all kinds of pictures that were to his taste. At a point I had to drag him to follow me because he was lost in his art works.
I must say, before my escape, I took some cash with me, that could last me for two days but wasn't expecting a stranger to come along.
I didn't know why he believed my words but he desperately wanted to escape where he was. It felt like we were taking a tour around the city for the first time.
No one questioned us, we didn't look like wanderer but just having fun for a day. I told him I'd protect him, even though he was older.
He didn't believe that part until we came across some bullies. He was really a frightened chick and I was brave then. I just didn't know when I threw that bravery away.
These bullies seems to be acquainted with him and they were teasing him, I only stepped in as a hero, lashing them back with words.
They had tried to attack us and I came up with stupid ideas of throwing stones at them and then I held his hand to run away but they had surrounded us.
One of them held hand and I didn't know how the got a broken glass, almost stabbing me but then this strange boy pulling him back, and fought for me.
I never knew he'd have enough strength to fight off these thug looking teenagers.
I was scared but he stretched his hand at me, looking bruised the man. I took his hand with a bright smile and cheered him for being brave. However, I needed to get him to a pharmacist.
We looked like runaway lovers and I guess he made my heart fluster at first. When we got there, it felt as though he didn't want to go in. Probably because he knew whosoever owns it.
