Chapter 460

" are you sure you do not want me to take you back to the camp?. It feels wrong leaving you behind" I understood how he felt but I also had my own reasons,

Although there was no clock with which we check the time then but we were able to make use of the weather to decipher how late or early it is. Although he stayed with me for a while, I felt like the time was limited. It hurts knowing that I would become alone when he leaves, and I do not have an idea of when I would leave here. I was also mindful of the fact that I may delay his journey and he would also get caught if I am with him. If we are to succeed in all these, then his identity would have to remain a secret till it is needed. I also did not have ample time to ask him some questions, so I was still blind on a lot of things. I gave him a quick hug and attempted to stand up, so I would walk him outside but he shook his at me and told me not to exert my energy.

I  know he was thinking of me, but what I needed now was a normal routine, so I would not always be reminded of my circumstances. Back then with Mother and Father, if we had any guest over, when it was time for  them to take their leave, Mother or Father would walk them to the entrance. Sometimes, they may even exceed the entrance, but it depends on their relationship with the guest, how close they were to each other. I keep remembering more parts of my past life, in as much as I am happy about it, because I can remember all the memories I shared with them one way or another, it makes me sad because I feel more lonely and alone than I was,

Even though he told me not to stress myself, I slowly crawled over to the entrance and watch him go. At first he was walking majestically as if he was one of them but the farther away he got, he started to camouflage himself untill he was out of my line of sight. ' this will not be the last time we see' was the word that I whispered out as I watched his back disappear finally,

At last, I was all alone Again, hungry, tired and in need of a wash. In as much as I was curious and wanted to explore, I knew I could not waste the little energy I had left. I also needed to be thinking of ways to conserve it because they have not served me food since I came here. Apart from the contact I had with the man who stepped on my head with his heels, no other person had ever visited me, maybe that was the reason I was eager to figure out where I was and those with me
