Love's a Crime - Chapter 19

Chapter 19 - Escape Route

Poke. Poke. Poke. What the heck! Who is disturbing my sleep!! Poke. Poke. Poke. I opened my eyes grudgingly and looked up to see Emanuel towering over me as he poked my face. "What in the world are you doing Emanuel!?! Couldn't you see I was having a wonderful sleep!" I yelled sleepily as I rubbed my eyes slowly. "Well I'm glad to know that you slept well because my slumber was absolutely horrendous! You and your damn snoring woke me up at 3:00 in the MORNING!! Do you know how loud you were! You sounded like a freaking lawn mower! You're lucky I didn't shove a whole pillow down your throat so you'd shut up, I wish I did though!" He screamed furiously while beating me with a pillow. "You are 'ouch' acting as if 'Ow' it was my fault 'Oww'." I yelled back receiving yet another blow from him.

"It is your fault!! You can't go one minute without snoring or drooling while you are sleeping!" He said as he smacked the pillow on my face. "Ohh, so mister werewolf can receive a punch without bruising but he can't take a little snoring! How pathetic." I grumbled haughtily as I turned on my side, leaving him to talk to my back. "Ohh no! Don't you start turning the tables on me! I am a victim in this situation you drama queen!" Emanuel spit out as he jumped off the bed noisily. "Drama queen! Drama Queen!! Did you just call ME a DRAMA QUEEN!! Well let me tell you something you unmannered piece of ungroomed hairball!! I am way too sophisticated to be named a 'Drama Queen', I am not the one who is complaining about a teensy weensy bit of snoring! I should be the one whining on how YOU sir, don't take a shower!! Don't you ever get tired on how you smell like a dog!! But being a werewolf, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't know the difference between mud or dirt! I swear that I've never met such a diva like you!!" I said angrily while I stomped off the bed.

He grabbed me by the arm quickly and flung me on the bed as he got on top of me, I glared at him as he pinned both my arms and my legs down with his body. "Get off me you disobedient pooch!! You should've never been let off your leash!" I growled as I struggled to break free from his grasp. He snarled deeply and looked into my eyes, I froze as soon as his gaze penetrated me. His breathing got more shallow and his arms started trembling softly, I kept staring at him quietly without moving, I didn't even make a sound, afraid of what he was going to do next. My eyes widened as he started to lean forward, his face was inclining towards me slowly. I closed my eyes and waited for his next move, "Do you want to escape from here?..." Emanuel's breath tickled my ear as he whispered in it. My eyes shot open and I looked at him in utter disbelief, he looked back with a serious expression on his face. "Are you serious..." I whispered unevenly.

He nodded calmly and waited for my reply, I stared at him in confusion for a while but nodded my head. He got up quickly and bounced off the bed, he walked over to a stone wall and gently pressed a hand to one of the bricks, the wall suddenly started to move and it oddly formed a small passage way that seemed to lead to a hall. I gaped at it in surprise and started to walk to it carefully, "Why didn't you show me this before..." I said softly. "I didn't show it to you because... Well... Because I wanted to spend more time with you... It's been a long time since I have ever talked to someone... I have been lonely for more than 5 years... I just didn't want to end up as a lone wolf again.." Emanuel finished his sentence in a sad whisper, he looked as if he wanted to cry since his eyes looked red.

"Then why haven't you escaped! You have had this passage here all along and you haven't attempted to get out of here!" I yelled shakily. "It's not that easy love, Castro has put a tiny tracking device inside of me... Even if I wanted to disappear from this place, he'll always manage to find me, no matter what... I wish I could join you sweetheart... But I can't... I just can't." He whispered with sorrow. The thought of leaving him here in this cruel cell brought a bunch of tears to my eyes, "But I just can't leave you here! I won't let you stay here any longer! You have to come with me!" I wailed angrily as tears spilled down my face, I grabbed both his hands and brought them to my lips, I kissed every single finger repeatedly. He got out of my grip and brought his hands to my face, he tilted my chin and made me look at him.

"Sage, please understand... I can't go with you... You have to go by yourself... Don't cry... I know we will see each other again... I'm sure of it... Now go..." He said smiling slightly, I didn't move, I didn't want to leave without him. He sighed and hugged me tightly, he tilted my face once again, then, he kissed me. His lips stayed on mine for a long time, never moving. He finally backed away, but not before he pecked me on the cheek softly. "Goodbye Sage... May you have a safe trip..." He said looking down, making his dark hair cover his eyes. I approached him and kissed him softly in sadness. He meant a lot to me and I felt as if tons of weights were put on my chest, I couldn't even speak properly with the big lump in my throat, "I don't believe in 'goodbyes' but I do believe in 'we will meet once again." I mumbled into his lips and stepped back. I looked at him one more time, then I entered the passage way, "Adios mi bella flor," he whispered lastly as the door shut closed. Tears continued falling down my cheeks, I will come back for him... Even... If it kills me...
