Leo promptly ran out of his room to the place the smoke came from. It was eccentric. He saw no one on the way. It was late at night but there was a building on fire and no one seemed to realize that except him.
He stopped in front of the prohibited library. He comprehended that the fire didn’t start long but where was everybody else? Guards..? The situation intimidated him. The place which is tightly fortified twenty-four hours each day is burning and no one was around.
As he was hypothesizing, he heard someone blaring for help from inside. It was a familiar voice.
Since the fire wasn’t strong enough, he ran inside the building. He was stunned finding Isla on the floor. He carried her and ran out of the building.
“What were you doing in the prohibited place?” Leo said laying Isla on the grasses.
“Run…” Isla muttered
“What?”
“Run before they catch you”
“Who, why..?”
“It’s only two of us here… anyone comes, they will think we are responsible for the fire”
“I’m not leaving you behind”
“Leo plea─”
“THIS WAY!” a voice came on the other side of the burning library followed by stomping footsteps
"Let's leave," Leo said, carrying Isla on his back and started running away
“I’m slowing you down… they will catch us”
“Just keep quiet”
The footsteps and the voices of guards were near. Leo dropped Isla down.
“What are you doing?” Isla said
“Go... run”
“What?”
“I’ll handle the rest”
“Leo… if they catch you, you’re done with school”
“I have nothing to lose”
“Don’t do this Leo” Isla cried, “this is my case, I’ll pay for it”
“Please… go”
“I can’t”
“We’ll both be caught here”
“You can leave”
“I’m not leaving you”
“Leo─”
“RUN!!”
Leo forced Isla to run and lastly, she limped away. He had to save his life.
“THERE IS SOMEONE HERE!” one guard shouted
