We didn't exactly walk back to the exit.. just like how previously back in Khaleed, we sneaked out of it.
Its not that hard to sneak out of Schist considering that some of the walls here are still broken, all we had to do is just go to the outskirt of the settlement and sneak out of it.
But.. that is the problem, cause none of us actually know the place or the alleys his, even Greta and Hans is having a pretty hard time because we had come to at least.. 9 dead ends?
"Hans, are you sure this is the way? Cause we are running out of fucking time! The longer we are here the more fucking dangerous it is!" Greta nudge the side of Hans ribs with her elbow making him double over in pain.
"Shit! Not that hard! Its fucking painful!" Hans complained and had to take a few second before he could stand up and continue walking but even then he had to hold the side of his ribs cause of how painful it is.
"Well i wouldn't do it if you didn't fucking get us lost! I thought you knew this place! Thats why you offered yourself to lead the way right?" Greta once again try to nudge Hans's ribs with her elbow but Hans is too fast for her because he had dodges her elbow and walk faster making Greta have to catch up to him.
Me? Well i am at the back of the Group.. i should stop them from using up too much energy playing around but i won't.
Considering what kind of situation we are in now? They could us a distraction for a moment or two.
I certainly could use those kinds of distraction but sadly... i don't have Mordred too cheer me up...
I let out a sigh because once again i am thinking about Mordred... it looks like we are much too close for my own good.. i didn't even think of Mom this much... whenever i am in a bad situation, the first thing i thought of is Mordred.
I'm in a happy situation? Mordred again...
Damn... we really are twins that is born years a part.
Looking at Hans and Greta who is playing infront of me as we walk as discreetly as possible through the alleys or what not, they both remind me of Mordred and my relationship.
I don't even need to ask to know that they can't stand to not be in each other presence for long.
Its just been the two of them for much too long of a time for them to be comfortable without each other near them, just like Mordred and i.
Mordred and me didn't exactly face the same... trouble as those two probably did living on the streets.. but we both know that we could trust each other the most with everything no matter what.
As far as i can remember.. i don't think there are any secrets between us, and there are a lot of secreet between us from the rest of the family.
I know for a fact that if i told something to Mordred and ask her to not tell anyone about it.. she would bring it to her grave and even her the afterlife if it comes to it.
I don't think i could ever trust a person as much as i had trust Mordred, the trust between us had been built on years of only relying on each other, i rely on Mordred for everything.
From my training to even my everyday life and secrets, i trust her with it.. just like how she relied on me for everything, teaching her school subjects... sparring with her.. and.. everything.. i think i am the only person that had seen her cry... i wouldn't be surprised if the last time mom or dad ever seen her cry was when she was Olivia's Age.
From other's perspective, Mordred may look hard to approach with her stand offish personality and aggressive behaviours, but if anyone actually get to know her.. she is really kind.
Well... that is they actually spend enough time with her, which is rare.. even her classmates isn't close to her at all..
She doesn't even know most of their names...
When i got out of my mind, the first thing i notice is that Greta and Hans had switched place with Greta leading the way and Hans pressing both arms at his side.
She must had hit him again when i wasn't looking at them.
"So... are you sure we are near the walls?" I asked Greta and she nodded.
"Yeah! Look at the houses here, most of them are kinda.. ransacked so we should be close to one of the walls that is broken." Greta motioned around us which yeah... it got some claw marks and a few of the walls of the houses is broken through.
I could hear Hans muttering under his breath about how he lead most of the way to here.
I couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle as i heard that, poor him.... but hey, we can see the walls from here and fortunately for us... there are no one manning it, probably cause its still daytime.
I don't know why.. but i don't like our lucky streaks.. first the Red Cactus doesn't know who killed their men.. and second.. this.. i have a bad feeling that this is the calm before the storms.
As soon as we step out of the walls, Hans and Greta get behind me as i look at the sun.
"Okay.. the sun is there.. so.. the north is.. there.." i nodded to myself before i start to walk north leading the way.
