I looked behind.
There was a tall guy in his early 20s, wearing an eye patch in his left eye and a trench coat.

Aiden looked behind, raising an eyebrow he asked, "Who are you?"

The man gasped, "Hey come on man, you can't forget me."

Aiden gave a cold reply , " Pardon, seems like you got your wires crossed."
Which is really unusual.

I had no idea what's going on there.

The man looked at me with confusion face and asked, "And who are you m'lady?"

"well I am-" even before I could finish Aiden interrupted and insisted, "Let's get back to the train."
I paused in perplexity.
The man stated, "Seems like you are going to keep on being arrogant."
Aiden replied, "None of your business."
And that's the moment I was sure that Aiden knew that guy.
But what's with this unusual behaviour.
I have never seen him like this. Is he hiding something?

Aiden looked at me and asked, "Can I talk with this guy for a sec."
I didn't say anything.
"Alone!" he stated.
I gasped, "Sure."
I roamed around the platform for a while.
Curiosity was killing me. I kept wondering the whole time about what's going on between them.
I lost my patience, I was going to sneak peak but out of the blue I got a call. It was 'Clara'
I answered the call.
" where the hell are you elie?"
The only person who used to call me elie.
I sighed.
"Send me your location, right now. I am warning you that you that the consequence won't be good if you don't send me."
I replied, "Are you threatening me?"
She replied, "threat, blackmail. Think whatever you want to think but make sure to send me."

She seemed in real hurry. I wonder why she want my location. I sent her my location.
Well i think I know the reason behind this arrogant behaviour of her. As I came on a trip which she thinks, without informing her with Aiden, and also lied to mom about her and mostly not replying to her.
I can't blame her.
As I clicked the 'send' Aiden called me, "Amelie!"
I walked towards them.
" Amelie." Aiden said as he sighed

"Yes?" I wondered what happened between them.

Aiden said scratching his head, " well, you see this one eyed guy here. He's actually my cousin brother who was banned from out family."

I tilted my head  as I looked at that guy.

" simply he's an outcast." he rolled his eyes.

" What the heck dude, is that how you introduce your brother? That's rude. " said the guy in a weird way.

" Ummm... I -" I was interrupted.

" I am Leo. The favourite brother of Aiden. He's just too shy to admit. "
Leo introduced himself. And the introduction ended with a Duchenne smile on his face.

" I am Amelie. Aiden's- "

I was interrupted again. No one was allowing me to speak that day.

" She's my best friend. Now enough with this introduction. Let's get in the train before it leaves us." Adien said as he jumped inside the train and Leo followed.

" your coming with us, brother Leo?" I asked cause he wasn't in the train before and it's kind of awkward around him. Aiden changes 180 degree when he's around him.

" Leo, call me just Leo. " was the reply leo gave me.

We got into the train. The train started again for the destination.

Leo sat beside Aiden while I sat at the opposite side facing them.

"So what's your name again, m'lady?" Leo asked me as he looked at Aiden.

"I am Amelie willson. I am 17 years old. I go to the same highschool as Aiden." I introduced  myself and it was the first time no one interrupted me.

" Well that sounded like a paragraph about myself." Leo joked.

As I was going to reply I got another call.
I thought it might be Clara or mom. Without checking the name I picked up the call.

"Who are you?" was the first thing that I heard.
Seemed like a voice of a grown up man. It was a deep voice.

I got goosebumps. Instead of replying I hung up.

Aiden raised his eyebrow in confusion and asked, "Who?"

I checked the number it was written, 'Popular jerk.' which means it was a call from Aiden's phone but he threw the phone.

I raised my face from phone to Aiden and said, "It was a call from your phone."

" What?" Aiden shouted out loud which attracted other passengers attention.

"Yea you got A*. Hurray! " I said a bit loudly while looking at everyone.
I didn't want them to stare or get curious about what's going on between us.

I nodded in reply to 'What?' asked by Aiden.

Leo stayed silent as if he knew everything.

Aiden asked," What are we gonna do now?"

I replied, " I don't know. I can't throw my phone. Its going to be a problem if mom can't contact me."

"seriously?" Aiden asked as he sighed.

We kept thinking what to do. None of us was able to come up with a plan.
Stress prevailed until those guys from earlier entered in a rush.

I got another call. I hurriedly switched it off. No one noticed as my phone was in silent mode.

One of the man called out, "Ms. Airhead."

I looked at Aiden he was trying his best not to laugh.

I can't believe he saved my number with such a name. It would have been really embarrassing if anyone else knew.

I wisphered to Aiden, "Sooner or later they will figure it out. We can't stay here any longer. We will get caught."

Leo put his hand on Aiden's shoulder.
"Leave this to me. You guys get ready to run."

"But the train is moving." Aiden pointed out.

" That's not my problem." Leo said as he stood up n walked towards those guys in suit.

Before I could say anything Adien grabbed my hand. "We need to go, Now."

We tooled our belonging and started running while ik the back I noticed Leo was holding back 2 guys and rest 3 of them followed us.

We were almost at the end point of the train. I was out of breath as we was running.
We stooped at the end point point.

We looked at each other and I asked, "What now?"

"Now we jump." Aiden said while trying to breath properly.

"what? Are you out of your mind? You want to jump of a moving train?" I said while looking back. Those men were arriving fast.

"we have no other choice." Aidne said as he grabbed me and jumped of the train.

We fell down the train into a green hilly field. We rolled down to the end and ended up with bruises. Thankfully we weren't injured badly.

Aiden stood up and gave me a hand.
" Are you okay? "

I hold his hand and stood up.
"what do u think?" I told him in a angry voice.

He felt a little bit guilty. Soon after saying that I started laughing. And at the end both of us were  laughing to our heart content.
"That was life time experience." I declared.

"Everything is a greatly dangerous experience I assume." Aiden said while laughing.

"Yea" I nodded.

"So, what's next?" I asked as I looked around the vast green field. There was no sign of any house  or human.

"We walk." Aiden said

"What?" I exclaimed with tiredness.

"what do you mean by what. Do we need a carriage for our princess of nothing?" Aiden said mocking me.

I pouted and replied, " Well, nevermind."
And I started walking.

"Where are you going?" Aiden asked from behind.

" To the neverland." I replied.

He never told me which direction. As if he knew. He ran and started walking next to me.

"Neverland." he echoed in my ear.

"uggh, stop." I Insisted.

" Don't worry I will escort you to your so called neverland." he said as he looked up, with a large grin splitting his face.

" What's with that ugly grin?" I asked.

" Nothing." he said as he giggled.

"What? Tell me now." I Insisted.

"There is no reason why I am laughing." he said while looking at me as we kept walking.

"Tell me or else I won't walk." I declared and stopped walking.

" you don't want to walk, then stay here in the middle of no where without food, shelter and everything. I am going." Aiden said as he walked faster.

"Hey, you can't leave me here." I shouted from behind.

"I guess, I just did." Aiden said from a distance. I could barely hear him.

" Are you serious?" I asked being arrogant tho
He couldn't hear me.

After a while I started running fast mad caught him.

While getting a hold of my breathing I Demanded to tell me right now. He laughed.

"Is that how you ask something? " Aiden said while handing me over a bottle of water.

"well, please tell me. Curiosity is killing me." I said while opening the water bottle's cap.

"Well that sounds better." he asserted.

"Well of course. Now tell." I demanded.

" The reason is your hair."  he said pointing out at my messy raven hair.

"My hair, what?" I asked as I started dusting my hair with my hand.

" Baby's Breath are stucked in your hair?" he said.

I tilted my head and asked, "Did you smile because of that?"

" Not really. I laughed cause you resembled maleficent." he said as he hold his laugh.

"You mean aurora. I know." I corrected.

"Yea in your dreams." Aiden said as he chuckled.

I pouted. "whatever."

Our argument continued until we entered a town. It was almost 3 o'clock when we entered there.

I was starving. As we entered the town we saw a school. Kids were getting in the school bus. Seemed like the school just ended.

" Shall we ask for a ride?" Aiden suggested.

" You sure have a brain. I will go and ask." I said as I walked towards the bus.

"Your welcome." Aiden replied standing at a distance.

As I walked towards the school bus. A student around the same age of mine asked, "Excuse me, you don't seem to be a student of this school."

"Actually, I am not. We were just lost and had to walk all the way here from the last station. So, I was wondering if we could get a ride to farthest place possible." I replied.

He took a glance at Aiden and told me, "Wait."

He went inside the bus and within a second he came out and told us, " Come on in. It's the last bus anyways."

I smiled and waved at Aiden to come.

As we entered the bus I noticed the bus was full of students from different grades.

"Hello everyone!" I said while I took a sit in the last row of the bus.

They started asking us different questions.

"Where are you from?"

"Where are you going?"

"Why are you going?"

And many more. We talked with almost everyone one in the bus. They were so hospitable. I was amused by their act of kindness. Even the bus driver said that he would drop us at the last bus station.

Aiden fell asleep soon after he the bus started moving.

The student who helped us get in, was one of the oldest student in the bus. He was 17 years old like me and Aiden.

The bus was going in inertia.
The driver had to break suddenly. Which made everyone curious about what happened.

"Don't worry kids, I will go and check." the driver got out of the bus.

Aiden woke up. " What happened?" he frowned suspiciously.

I replied, " I have no idea."

After a few moment two guys dragged inside the bus with guns in their hand while pushing the bus driver to his sit.

They shouted," Stay quite. If you make any sound. We will shoot you with this guns."

Typically the exact same dialogues that we hear in movies. Panic prevailed among everyone where else the kids started crying.

They kept hitting the bus driver without any mercy.

Aiden whispered and told me to look behind.

I saw there was a mini van following the bus. And the guys instantly kept talking over phone. It was obvious that the mini van was with them.

They told the bus driver to keep driving. We crossed the town long ago. Yet there was no stopping point.

There was only one adult person at whom they were pointing the gun. Others were all kids and teenager from the age ten to seventeen. Which means we were the second oldest.

I looked at Aiden and  whispered, " what's next?"

The situation was really out of our hand
