RUNAWAY

"Did you cry a lot?" He asked looking at her puffed eyes before walking her into the room.

"No." she answered while looking up at the ceiling as if she didn't want him to know the answer which was pretty obvious from her expressions.

Ren was not there in the front room or in the dining so Noah assumed that she might have already fell asleep. Ren usually never leaves her door open even if she is wide awake in the front room so it was a little odd. He asked Lia to get freshen up and walked to the kitchen to grab something to eat. He already ate the food with Ren but after an hour of running everywhere to find Lia, he was worn out.

He noticed the food which Ren prepared earlier for them to eat was still on the table. He picked up one plate from those for Lia and pulled out a cup of ramen and a thermo flask. The guest room was pretty spacious and had a table in there so he thought of eating it in the room without bothering Ren.

"Have this, you must have starved since morning. I am pretty sure you didn't even consider the food which I left for you." he chuckled a little before setting the plate in front of her.

"It feels stupid to be taking this after you treated me like a trash." Lia's self pride was at the best place till meeting Noah and after that it just stooped down to the point, it barely exist.

"I apologized to you and I was just a little excited to be here that nothing got into my sense." he tried to make her feel better but obviously he wasn't buying the way she saw herself prior to him.

"Can I know why you are so rebellious? You look really sweet and warm so this kind of behavior doesn't suit you." She said digging into her food.

"Everyone said, I need to grow up and be a little matured so I had to be like this." he huffed taking a chips and munching on it.

"You don't have to be matured in this way. They just meant you have to be more focused and do the training." Lia corrected him.

"Now that I am out of that mess. I don't have to train anymore or listen to anyone. I can roam around freely and show my true self to all." He smiled brightly.

"I am going to take a nap. I had to walk a lot today so my legs are just numb and you made me run too." He slapped the dust of chips off his hands and stretched himself.

"Hmm, sure." Lia smiled softly at him even though her heart ached as he was still thinking off him still going out to her.

He didn't want to sleep with Ren or with Lia so he just went to the couch, his usual place and plopped on it. The whole day came flooding into his thoughts as soon as he closed his eyes. Everyone was giving him a warm look, a soft smile while others were too excited about it. He remembered Ren ensuring him that, it was just because he looked good.

"Do I really look that good?" He asked himself because he has never thought about it much.

He knew that he looked different from others because even in his realm, everyone sued to tell him that. He badly missed Lego and his friend Tom but he hopped Tom would look after Lego. His mother considered Tom as her own so maybe she will be able to control the pain of losing one of her son in that way. Noah looked up at the ceiling to see the moon light lamp shining on him.

He was finally relieved, feeling happy about everything but far in his land, things weren't going well as he imagined. A revolt broke out there, a war has been declared by Oliver and Lia's family. A war against the Alphas and the Omegas, the war between the strong and the week. No one was sure about who would win but the war had to happen.

"Oliver, I have still not announced to as our Alpha through the rituals." Gravin explained to the man who weren't ready to listen to anything.

"She fled, right? She fled after trying to break our rules and I am sure you have a part in hiding her."

"I really have no idea, she must be here something."

It was a confusion as they had no idea where Lia was and even after three days no one noticed that Noah was missing except for his mother and Tom. They decided to hide it for some time hoping, he would return. Tom was secretly searching everywhere for his friend knowing how much the boy craved to runaway from the realm.

"Tom, tell me if you know something."

"I have no idea but I am sure that he is somewhere around here enjoying his lone time. You know how quickly his mood changes so I will bring him back somehow."

"Please make sure that he is safe. He hasn't even come back once and Lego is still in Noah's bed."

"I will bring him back."

Tom was searching for his friend since that day not only because he was asked to do so but he didn't want anyone to know that the boy went missing along with Lia. He knew how angry Oliver is at the situation so if Noah is involved in it by any means, he would kill the boy. Tom was trying to not think about the possibility that he has not helped her out of cell.

"I swear to treat you to something really good if I find you." Tom gritted his teeth in annoyance.
