Part 8

I knew that we needed to get in to the village as soon as possible, but Sebastyan was so badly injured that he could barely walk and the adrenalin that had helped me carry him, drag him, this far was toning down, now that most of the danger seemed to have passed. We were now so close to other houses now that if the people looking for us would find us, we could scream and people would hear us, but we were still so conceled by the trees that no one would see us from the road. I leaned Sebastyan agaist an oak tree and placed myself on the ground facing towards him trying to catch my breath.

For the first time taking the time to really look at him, to really see him. His features so like Soledads, soft and fragile, beautiful, but I see in him something I have not seen in his sister, a strength as if nothing can hurt him, like nothing can penetrate his stronghold or the walls he has built around him.
I can't take my eyes of him, his eyes closed, his nose crooked as if it has been broken at some point, maybe more than once, but I can see the resemblance to Sol, my eyes tracing the shape of his mouth, the upper lip thin but the lower one full, kissable. I don't even know why I feel so drawn to him as if he were a magnet and I just some kind of metal. I snatch out of my thoughts as if someone had slapped me, and see that Sebastyan has opend his eyes, he is looking at me as if he knows something and I feel colour rise to my cheek, truly hoping he did not notice how I looked at him. I look in to his eyes, the colour of a green ocean, not the deep green as Soledads. and suddenly I realize I am closer to him now than I was when I first sat down, I don't remeber getting closer but somehow I must have. What will he think of me, a stranger.

Part 7

I half dragged, half carried Sebastyan in to the forrest, as far away from the road as I could possibly get before they would notice the movement, I knew we had to get out of there as fast as we possibly could.
They had a car and none of them were badly hurt, they would catch up with us if we didn't manage to find somewhere really good to hide, I didn't even know how soon they would realize he was gone, would they go straight in to the room where I found him or would they do omething else first, I was terrified, not for me but for Sebastyan and Sol'.

As soon as the car had passed I continued dragging Sebastyan further in to the forest, but still along the road, I wanted to get into the village as soon as possible but not be to vicible from the road.
I wanted to get home to my Belle, to see that she was still there, still fine.
Well as fine as she could be after all this!

Part 6

Next time I came in to the TV room Soledad was sitting up, quiet, just watching me.
"Where is Sebastyan?" Soledad almost cried when she said this. And I didn't even know what to answer.
"Who is he? Your boyfriend?" I Said jealously, and suddenly I didn't know who I was jealous of, Sol' or Sebastyan or even why.
"My brother."

So just a few hours later I were on my way.
Sol' had told me where the house was, how I would get there, she knew no one would be there, well, except för Sebastyan that is.
My Belle had left me her keys so I would be able to get in and out of the house, told me exactly where to go in the house so it wouldn't take to long.
I were nearly there, I saw the house and realized I was a few minutes early, I heard voices, saw the lights in the house get turned off. I were lucky the house was more or less in the forrest. I hid behind some trees, even climed up in one of them. Where I sat I could see the driveway, I saw two people coming out, get in the car, turn it on and leave.
I were up in the tree a few minutes, waiting, if they would come back. But I knew I didn't have much time so I didn't wait for very long.

Everything went smooth, I knew exactly how to walk, were to go.
I saw the terror in Sebastyan when he realized that someone was in the room, all of his muscles tensed and he put his lips toghether as to prevent himself from speaking.
I knew that there were bugs everywhere, so I knew I wasn't allowed to speak, I did not understand why there were bugs but no cameras but I was glad for it, this just meant that I had to be real quiet, not invicible. He must be super sensitive or have great hearing because I knew that I hadn't made a sound that the bugs would pick up on.
He relaxed a little bit after a while but he was still unsure of me, of who I was. I could not explain it to him in here I had to get him out first.
The only thing Sol' had not been sure of about the plan were if they had changed the code on the locks of the chains, she knew they changed them quite often but there were no knowing when that would be.
So it was just pure luck that the numbers she had given to me were the correct ones. I was as quiet as I could be when I took the chains off him, when I put them on the floor.
Sebastyan was leaning against the wall and I murmured for us to go, he tried to take a step but almost fell, I quickly put my arm around his waist and his arm over my shoulders.
Supporting him through the house was heavier then I first thought, he was so skinny. It took longer than I though to get through the house to get out.
Finally, the fresh air, the cool breeze, now it was just the walk home.
We had been walking for just a couple of minutes when I saw the lights... They where coming back! So soon? Or did I take longer inside than I thought I had?
What should I do now?!

Part 5

I ran downstairs, I didn't even stop to put a dressing gown on, something was terribly wrong!

When I opened the door Sol' fell in, as if she had been leaning against the door, some of her hair seemed to have been pulled out, she had cuts and bruises all over her face and arms and her clothes were ripped half to threads.
I carried her to the TV room and put her on the couch, I saw her lips move so I leaned in closer to hear the words she said.
"Sebastyan, you need to help Sebastyan."
I didn't have time to worry about what she had said, I didn't know anyone by that name and she was so close to death that I several time even thought she was dead, so I didn't care.

It was sunday afternoon and my belle was still not awake, I was in the kitchen making myself a cup of green tea, the only thing I was able to take in since Sol' arrived in the night.
"NO, SEBASTYAN!"
Lucky I wasn't holding anything I would have dropped it and it would have smashed, I would have cared later I know that but at that time I just turned on the spot and ran.
The first thing I saw when I came in to the room was Sol', sitting up, eyes wide in terror as if she saw something terrible, she didn't even seem to notice me. I walked over to her put my arms around her and wispered calming words to her telling her to lay down again. Nothing was going to hurt her again.
She started crying, sobbing, saying the name over and over again until she finally fell asleep, I lay down next to her holding my arms protective around her and dozing off myself.
"The revered, Sebastyan, save him, save him!"
I sat up in a haste, it wasn't just voices this time, it was pictures, mouthed words, words I read on their lips.
Tre people, two men and a woman, one of the men tied in ropes by a wall tortured, knifed, hurt. saying nothing.
The woman saying, "Where is she? I know that you know, you helped her, get her back here now."
The man just shaking his head, saying nothing, didn't know if it was because he couldn't or if he just wouldn't, but I knew one thing, the girl the woman was talking about was Soledad.

Part 4

I believe it was January I think a Saturday, the cold was sharp and the wind was harder then I had ever felt it before.
I was in bed, trying to sleep but my mind couldn't seem to settle.
The only thing I had heard from the voices in months were these words, and allways the same "The revered" I still had no idea what it meant. The words were allways the same, until the night before, "Be aware, be afraid, be awake, be careful, watch over them, you are the only one that can help them now. But know this, if they catch you, if they know who you are, none of you will survive."

I had never been so terrified as when I woke up after those words. And all I knew was that I needed to be with Sol'. That Saturday I looked for her, I searched all our favourite places, even other places that we were on just occasionally, but I couldn't find her anywhere, I felt like the worlds most awful friend, because I didn't even know were she lived. I couldn't find her. That is why I lay awake at home alone this Saturday night, my parents were away for the weekend and I was terrified that I would never see my belle again.
Suddenly I sat up straight in my bed I thought I had heard something... There it was again. Someone banging on the door. I was frozen, terrified, who could it be at this time a night in this weather?
A shout right outside my window, a well known voice, Soledad!

Part 3

When I approached her, I was very careful, I was still a bit worried I would frighten her and that was the last thing I wanted to do. Because even though the voices hadn't said anything I knew that she could be the first real friend I would ever have, if I didn't frighten her.

Her name was Soledad, she was a beauty, and the sweetest girl I had ever encountered.
We spent every moment we could together. Talking, laughing, being. After a while I even told her about the voices and she didn't start pulling away, she was amazing.
But she had a secret a secret that I didn't know about for a very long time.
A few months had passed and even though Soledad had met my family I had never met hers, I didn't really think about it because we felt it more natural being out in the park or at the playground or in the forrests. The few times she had met my family was when I had to run home before we could do something else becaus I knew my parents would go out in the evening and I needed the keys to get in to the house. I'm quite a destracted girl and my head isn't skrewed on tight enough so I forget thing easily and the keys are never where I need them to be.

As I said we were never in any of our houses, we spent our time in other places. She loved speed and "danger" climbing trees, hanging upside down, spinning round and round, test her balance at the edge of a cliff. Oh the many times I was afraid she would fall if I just breathed, that I didn't die or at least faint do to lack of air!
But what both of us loved the most was lie close to eachother in the grass under under the trees watching and feeling the sun shine through the grass, I will allways remember how relaxed she looked. And I will allways remember her laugh when I pushed her on the swings.

Part 2

My father telling me we had to move was the worst thing my head had heard in it's entire life.
But my in my heart it felt like it was something that had to be done for my life to be completed.

It all happened very quickly, in less than two weeks we were on our way.
Sad to leave my friends, the few I had, but somehow everything felt right. And the voices had been wispering every night, allways the same thing, "the revered, the revered, the revered." it was allmost like chanting, it was strange, it was something I had never known the voices to do before. Still it did not frighten me, the words just seemed to sooth me somehow, like they were calling for a friend I had not seen in a long time, that I was about to meet again. But how could that be, it was words.. not a name.
But I didn't think much about it, I figured it would all be alright in the end anyways.

My first day at school was very interesting or it might be interesting is not the right word.
I am used to people staring at me wispering behind my back and thinking I am odd, but it usually starts when they know me, or at least know about me and the fact that I sometimes knows what is coming.
The place we moved to was just a small village everyone knows everyone and anyone new is an outsider, if I can call it that.
Everyone spent the whole day staring at me and even though I said "Hi" and tryed to start a conversation I didn't even get as much as a sound back, just silent looks.
It was like that the first two weeks but I didn't give up.
It was a friday afternoon my second week there when I noticed a girl I had never seen before and no wonder why, she was hidden  between a locker and a wall, for some reason the lockers don't seem to be put all the way to the wall and I always wonder why. But that is not what I was telling you about.
I walked towards her, she looked so fragile and when she saw me her eyes opened up wide in fright, she looked as she thought I would hurt her, but she was so beautiful.
My heart wouldn't let me do what my head told me to.
My head said go speak to her my heart had me just standing there watching her.
It acctually took me a few days to approach her and every night between the two days the voices told me "Let her calm down, let her get used to the thought, just a few more days, just one more day"
and suddenly one morning just before I woke up the voices said "Today is the day"
