Not Today [ Open Starter ]
Uh-oh ... ! If she stayed here, they would definitely catch her! She pressed her petite figure even harder against the cool wall, holding her breath in the process. Getting caught now was out of question for her; if she was indeed captured, they would drag her all the way back to that ... that suffocating place ... !
Stay calm, the girl thought to herself in an attempt to keep her panic at bay. I can get out of here, she continued almost desperately, I can do anything!
Right, she would find a way out of this situation. Just like how she managed to escape her old home even though the security was supposedly one of the strongest, most stable. With that little boost of confidence and motivation, the young female took one deep breath and closed her eyes, listening intently to her surroundings. Somewhere close by she heard a door being opened, the sharp crack not escaping her ears. The creak implied that it was a rather old door, probably belonging to one of the shabby buildings from this district.
... It was rude to enter someone else’s home without consent, but she’d rather offend someone than get found out by the soldiers of her homeland. She had to at least try! Nodding to herself as she made up her mind, she opened her eyes in determination and glanced left and right before starting to sneak off to where she had heard the sounds from. However, unsurprisingly, some soldiers were already on the street that she needed to get on for that. Her only option was to wait and hope that they would look away from down the street while not coming this way.
Second by second, her heart thumped loudly in her chest as she waited. Please, the silverhaired pleaded silently. Please let me escape!
Just when she felt like her heart would stop since the soldiers slowly started walking down the street towards the alley where she hid, two arguing cats rushed behind them and distracted them enough for her to run off. In a few steps she was at the door and forcefully pushed it open. As expected, due to the old age of the house, the door barely put up any resistance so that she could easily slip inside. Huffing more from excitement than the quick exercise, she closed the door behind her back and leaned against it while trying to figure out what to do next. Though, that might have had to wait a little since it was then that she realized another person was standing at the far back of the hallway, undoubtedly having noticed her sudden entrance.
