Chapter 39: What Would Have
Jin ran towards the royal floor, where Aileen would be sleeping but would get an awakening. Jin burst through the doors and Aileen woke up immediately hearing the intrusion. She stood from her bed, seeing you out of your cell and Jin holding your hand so freely.
" You're out! "
" Aileen, did you make the clothes? "
" I did, here. "
Aileen shoved some clothes into your hands and pushed you towards the bathroom. You unraveled all of the clothes and saw that it was a tight shirt with pants and a belt. You slipped your current clothes off and slipped the clothes she made on and stepped out of the bathroom. Aileen kneeled in front of you and put some boots on your feet and tied the laces into tight bows. Jin walked into the bathroom and started changing into his clothes.
" Aileen, has Jin told you what we're doing? "
" He has, let me inform you. We planned this together but it's happening sooner than we thought. Your both going to escape this castle and travel towards the mountains. From there you'll climb over the mountains until you find the forest over the hills in the valleys. From there you two are going to travel to the Ezoba Empire. There's a cabin somewhere in those woods that he's found and you can stay there until you figured out what to do. "
" What about you? "
" I've got a home in Elina's Empire. Don't worry about Genevive, either. I'm going to flee with her tonight. Give me the ring. "
You took off the ring and gave it to Aileen. When she was done tying your shoes she handed you a bag. Inside were plenty of fruits and meats. Jin emerged from the bathroom, with a black shirt that was tucked into his pants with a belt through the loops. He had hiking boots on and he ran over to the backpack full of camping supplies. He walked over to Aileen and bowed.
" Thank you for all of your help. "
" Anything to help my friends. Now go, the guard's rotation is about to end. If you can get through it you'll be free. "
" Thanks again. "
Jin grabbed your hand and started running out of Aileen's room, without letting you say goodbye. He ran down the royal floor and towards the stairs with you behind him, surprisingly keeping up. He descended the stairs and reached the bottom floor. There weren't many guards and you realized that they were rotating. Those that were at the front doors would be changed into new guards.
" We're going to go through one of the windows and through a hole in the ground that I dug. Let's hurry. "
Jin ran to a window and let go of your hand in order to open it. He unlatched it and pushed the glass window open. He helped you climb out of the window and then climbed out himself. He shut the window and gestured for you to follow him in the dark. He ran towards the wall, where there were no soldiers because of the rotation.
There was a particular bush that you noticed looked a little different than the rest. Jin grabbed it and put it away to reveal a hole in the ground with stairs. He let you go down first and then followed you, putting the bush back over the hole. He guided you through the hidden walkway to the end and pushed you out of the hole. He climbed out and covered it with another bush and stood up, running his hands through his hair.
" Finally. "
" I'm free. "
" Yeah you are. " Jin said coldly turning away from you and walking away from the palace walls.
" Jin, why do you have an attitude with me right now? We're free we should be happy. "
" I guess I don't have a reason to be mad. You know, it's something you see everyday. Just your girlfriend making out and about to have sex with another man! "
" Jin, I did that because I wanted to buy you sometime to get there. "
" And what if I didn't come!? What then? "
" Jin I knew you were coming! That's why I let him touch me and initiated it! I knew you were coming and would save me from it! "
" That's not the point! " Jin yelled turning towards you and grabbing your shoulders.
His grip was tight and you could see small tears in his eyes. You could tell he was really upset about what he saw.
" Jin-"
" If I wasn't there then he would have taken your purity and ruined you! "
" I would have gotten out of there! "
" How!? How could you possibly get out of there!? He had you pinned to the bed! You couldn't move your legs or arms and there was nothing around you to grab and throw at him! "
Jin let go of your arms and turned away from you.
" Let's go, before the sun gets up. I want to make it to the hills before the moon rises again. "
Jin started walking away, and he didn't even look back to see if you were following. You followed him, and kept your mouth shut, afraid to upset him further.
