The Maxwell House Part 14
Runaway
 (chase)
Chase and Sam had been locked up for days; Chained to each other and unfed. Chase hadm't spoken in 3 days. Sam's question of Chase's love for him still hung in the air, heavy and taunting.
As time passed the question of their sentence also began to taunt them. Chase sat, wondering if they would take her dear Sam away from her. Sam simply wondered if he would die knowing whether or not Chase loved him.
Chase and Sam exchanged one quick and meaningful glance when they heard footsteps down the corridor. Their chains rattled as they stood up, ready to face whatever their fate would be. Sam took Chase's hand in his as a guard unlocked their cell door.
"Madam Serina has convinced the other Elders to release you, you are now under house arrest, you are to return to your home and stay there until the Elder's declare your sentence finished."
The guard blindfolded both Chase and Sam and led them out of their unknown prison. The guard took off their blindfolds and shackles minutes later, to reveal they were now in the forest next to the house of the Lost. The guard then vanished without a word.
Sam sighed looking around and then his eyes fell on Chase. She looked tired and worn. Dark circles had formed around her eyes from not feeding. Here usually beautiful silver hair had faded to a dull gray. She looked utterly defeated.
Chase let out a mournful sigh and began to drag herself towards the end of the forest, back home. Sam watched her pitiful attempt to walk and caught her by her hand before she fell forward. He felt just as weak as Chase was acting but he had enough strength to pull her up and close to him.
Sam hugged Chase close to him and smoother down her hair at the same time. He felt her weakly shake. He held her gently and tightly, he felt as if he was trying to hold her together. He knew that if he let her go for a mere second, she would shatter like a piece of pottery hitting the ground.
"My dear Chase... You know by now that I love you more then anything, I love you more then the planet we stand on. I yearn for you more then i yearn for the chance to feel the sun on my face just once. I would give my life for yours in an instant and if I had a soul it would be yours for all eternity. My heart, though dead, feels a thousand pains when I see you so broken. I will take you away from all of this. I shall take you away from this cruel family. We can run, to a place far from here, we can live out our lives free from the darkness this family has cast onto your heart. I'll shall leave Romania with you by my side, I will take you to England, France, The new world! I will watch and protect you, no matter if you choose to love me or another, I will always be here for you. I will do whatever it takes to bright light back into you."
Chase's shaking grew worse as she began to cry, holding Sam tighter. "Sam...I meant it! I meant what I said! I love you Sam! I do! I love you more then I can stand! Yes! Yes! Let's run away!"
