Chapter 3

ESCAPING & THE UNWANTED ADMISSION

Freedom had never felt so close, I knew I had been running in circles but I couldn't give up now. I don't even even remember the last time I had something to eat, I was beginning to feel light-headed. I tried finding shelter but the next thing I knew I was falling into a dark abyss.

When I came to, I was in what seemed to be a hospital room which made me feel safe. Getting down from the bed seemed like forever because my legs were never seemed to touch the ground no matter how hard I tried. I lifted my head up with the little strength I had left only to see my hands and legs cuffed to the bed.

Laying on the bed, I felt my body getting heavier with each passing minute. Someone approached me, it was a woman, she had blond hair, her eyes were the blackest I had ever seen, she wore a white doctor's gown that read "Rugal Academy Miss Vega" she said some words that I could not comprehend.

Minutes later she turned back to me and said "What's your name and how old are you?" I did not even acknowledge that someone was talking to me untill a man appeared behind her and said "I will urge you to do what she says cause this is all for your safety child" Staying silent seemed like the best thing to do in that situation. Before I knew it, my hands and legs were released and I was free. I tried sitting up but it proved to be a difficult task, he told me that it was from the drugs they gave to me .

As much as wanted to leave, I couldn't. No matter how I had I tried to run away I was told had become a student of this academy, so I was not allowed to leave. I had so many questions concerning my arrival here and how they knew about Ambrose. I needed answers so I went to his office because from I heard his name is Lysander he is the one that brought me here in the first place. Knocking on the door, I waited until I heard a reply before entering.

Lysander told me to give him a minute that he had somethings to sort out. When he was done he finally looked up "what do you want?"he asked. Although I was annoyed and frustrated at him for doing all this unnecessary things I was still thankful to him for saving my life. "Thank you for saving my life the other day but why am I still here. I tried to leave but I was stopped by some guards, is there any other reason you are not telling me and please do explain to me why I keep hearing Mr Ambrose's name when people see me walk past them".

Lysander stayed quiet for a while before saying "First of all, saving your life was just a selfless thing to do and Mr Ambrose was one of this school sponsors and a very good person, hearing that he has passed away really shook the school".

He paused for a while before saying "about your admission into the Academy it's also one of my selfless acts and I really think that you would make a very big addition. So do you accept?". I was a little puzzled, there was so much information that I had to process. I stayed quiet for a while trying to understand how that monster of a person could be as seen a wonderful person in the eyes it these people.

After a while I finally spoke "I not willing to stay here, I am still grateful for all your help but I can't accept this admission. Thank you for all your help, it was a pleasure meeting you and good day". I can't believe I thought leaving was that easy, the next thing I know i was thrown over the shoulders of one of the guards.

I was taken to a different part of the building, it looked just like the dark room in Ambrose's house. They cuffed me to a bed, once again I was bound to something with no chance of getting out and once again I succumbed to the darkness. I woke up to the banging of a door, I sat up to see some food and new clothes placed in front of me with a new name on it "RED" I was told to get ready and come downstairs for breakfast with the other students.
