14 The Survival Part 3: Is there Hope?

Bo limbs started to get weak making her stop pushing the board and glanced around again, but still, she was stuck with the young prince. Looking into the sky, she prayed for help in her heart.

In another place, a mischievous young man is spotted running away from the guards while they chased him.

"you can't catch me!" He yelled annoying the guards more

"Catch the damn brat!" The fat captain commanded them he was more than determined to catch the Erotic books seller.

Turning into an alley, the young man saw two crossways, picking the right one he kept running till he came into a forest, and disappeared in a tree hole.

Back to the guard, they got confused when they reached to different paths, they stupidly stopped there, waiting for the fat captain for instruction. Alas, the Captain is still running gasping for air.

When he came across the guards, he glared at them.

"What the hell are you doing! you stupid dogs!" he yelled in frustration, pulling his hair madly.

"We didn't know what to do." A guard stated

"Oh! Wow! SO YOU CAN'T DIVIDE THE GROUP TO TWO! ONE GOES LEFT, AND ONE GOES RIGHT!" He shouted getting more red in the face with a visible smoke streaming from his head

"We are sorry Sir." They replied in shame

"SORRY? SORRY? I LOST MY CHANCE TO GET PROMOTION LAST TIME BECAUSE OF YOU! IDIOTS!" He kept shouting making them drop their gaze into the ground

"You know what? you won't get your full salary this month." He stated calmly

The young man waited for a while for the guards to appear, but no one did making him sigh in relief and get out from his hiding spot.

This place was his favorite place he knows it since he was a child, going into the cliff and sitting on a rock, he thought about his miserable life. His life wasn't that perfect after all.

He lived in the streets since he was born Without anyone support. His situation is better now living under a roof with an old man.

The house wasn't that great it was just a cottage made of straw But to him, that was better, than nothing. He still helps out with earning money, and getting a job is hard forcing him to sell illegal things.

In the corner of his eyes, he spotted a board with someone on it, making him gape in disbelieve he could see an arrow stuck on someone's back.

"He is dead for sure!" He murmured quietly

He was about to leave, but the girl that hopped into the board and kept checking the guy's pulse made him stop.

"is there hope?" He asked himself when she got off the board and started to push it again with determination
