Chapter 28

Footsteps we're heard-one,two,one,two

"Come one,run faster,Claudine, don't be slow" Ian voice sounded, his breathing fast.

"Ian, I can't run anymore. I'm tired" Claudine said panting and her face covered in sweat.

"Sorry, but we have to keep running if not, we will die" Ian pulled her as he spoke

"Let's hide...let's...stop. leave me,leave me" Claudine was breathing rapidly and she released her hand from Ian's grip.

Ian's eyebrows furrowed.

"Can you just being weak?, Let's go" He said and pulled her but pushed him away.

"Leave me alone, can you just listen to me,Ian, I am not weak. Not every Seven year old will be able to go through what I've gone through,alright?" She shouted. Claudine's face was red both from anger and fatigue.

Ian also became angry and he grabbed her shoulders and turned her body, changing their positions.

"Claudine, I don't want to die and neither do you so get yourself back together. I thought you always said that you are a boy in the body of a girl, right? So be a boy don't act like a pu**y and chicken out!" He shouted at her and cursed.

The winds blew stronger and the clouds covered the moon making it impossible to see both their expressions.

"Ian," Claudine said and removed Ian hands from her shoulder. "I did say it but I am not being a pu**y not am I going to chicken out. I just want to rest and thought you would understand but yoy didn't...So, find your way while I find mine" She said and moved away from Ian

(Where is all this coming from???!! and why you guys conversing like adults?!!. Talk like a seven year old for Pete's Sake!!!)

"Claudine stop, don't move, stop" Ian said as he noticed something was wrong with the ground.

"No, I won't. We both want to live but the method is different, so I chose this..."

(What is wrong with you girl!!!?)

"What the hell are you saying, stop there is no road there, it's a..."

Before he could complete his sentence Claudine shouted

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Claudine!" Ian shouted and rushed forward but it was too late Claudine had fallen off the cliff.

"Claudine!" Ian shouted again and his voice resonated through the forest.

The world had stopped. Time froze, But the stubborn winds didn't- instead they blew stronger. The forest seemed to also be in accordance with the wind as it sang songs of sadness and the trees gave it help.

Ian fell to the floor, he knelt down for a long time until people came out of the darkness and toom hint away.

-------------------------

BANG!,BANG!,BANG!

Ian laid on the bed and stirred. He struggled to open his eyes and the banging sound kept on getting louder.

"Ian, come on,open up"

Ian eyes finally shot open and they were bloodshot red.

He saw the bang sound was coming from his door and his tensed shoulders relaxed. He looked a little dazed before coming back to his senses. His distracted and unfocused became sharp and the indifferent aura returned.

"Who's there?"

"It's me Sean"

"Hmm?"

"Let me in first"

Ian stood up and opened the door outside, Sean was standing with a mischievous expression. He stood there all decked up looking like he was heading out.
