Chapter 8
Here's another chapter for y'all. *bows* Also, do any authors wanna do a collab with me, cuz that would be cool. This chapter is not made to offend anyone.
You follow John down a couple of streets as it starts to snow. Remembering the cold, you start to shiver again. John offers you his jacket, and you gladly take it, leaving one side around him. He pulls you closer to him, his arm around your waist, and you lay your head on his shoulder.
"We're almost there!" He says to you. "So what was this thing you wanted to show me?" You ask curiously. "You'll see when we get there," He says nervously, "I trust you, please don't tell anyone." Now your curiosity was blowing through the roof.
John leads you inside a cozy house, and sits you down by the fire. You enjoy the warmth, and decide to wait to ask again. John sits down next to you, carrying a blanket. "Just so you know, this isn't what I'm gonna show you." He chuckles. "I wanna let you warm up first."
You sigh, taking in the comfort. You look over at John. You've only known him for a day, and he already trusts you. "Thank you, for everything." You say to him. He gives you a warm smile. "No problem! I wasn't gonna leave a beautiful girl out in the middle of the night to freeze." You feel the heat rising to your cheeks. "I think your warmed up now!" He laughs. "C'mon, I'll show you what the thing is."
He takes your hand, and leads you to a secret door, under a rug. You follow him down the dark tunnel and into another room, which expands into a huge underground house. Inside, were a whole lot of slaves, dancing, playing, and eating. They looked up and wave a 'hello' as you pass by. They seem so happy. You've never seen a slave happy before.
"Um... what is this exactly?" You ask. "I'm hiding them, they're free." He says. "Escaped slaves come here, and I take care of them. Or I buy them off the slave market and then free them." You look around in awe.
"This is amazing!" You exclaim as a young child runs up to you. You smile and wave. "Hi! I'm Nina, who are you." The child asks. "Well hello Nina!" You kneel down so you're at Nina's height. "I'm Y/N."
You and Nina talk for a while longer. For a smal girl, she had a huge amount of energy. She was just introducing you to Evan, her brother, when you hear a loud crash coming from the secret door. Everyone froze for a moment, to scared to move.
