Chapter 5: Secret Date

611 Words
Despite facing the heavy surveillance and crisis of the family, Evelyn and Alex's longing for each other became stronger and stronger, like a vine growing wildly and tightly entwining their hearts. They really couldn't stand the long separation, so they took the risk and secretly agreed to meet in an abandoned castle deep in the forest. The abandoned castle is surrounded by mountains. The old stone walls are covered with moss. The flags on the walls tremble in the wind, broken and shattered, as if telling the past glory and vicissitudes. The castle gate is half-open, and a hint of gloomy atmosphere can be seen through the c***k of the door. Evelyn is wearing a dark red cloak, and the hood covers most of her face. She walks quietly through the gloomy corridor, and every step is light and silent, like a ghost in the dark night. Alex arrived early. He hid in the shadow of the castle, looking anxiously at the door, and listening from time to time, for fear of missing Evelyn's movement. When Evelyn appeared at the door, Alex's eyes flashed with surprise, and he quickly stepped forward and hugged Evelyn tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to integrate her into his body. Evelyn trembled slightly, and her hands also hugged Alex tightly. At that moment, all the fear and anxiety disappeared, leaving only the warm embrace of each other. “I missed you so much…” Alex whispered in Evelyn’s ear, his voice full of affection and longing, he loosened his arms, put his hands on Evelyn’s shoulders, and stared deeply into her eyes, as if he wanted to carve her appearance into his heart. Evelin’s eyes sparkled with tears, and she nodded slightly: “Me too, I’m worried about you every moment.” They held hands and carefully avoided the collapsed stones and rotten wooden beams in the castle, and came to the top floor of the castle. The terrace on the top floor had a wide view, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the entire forest. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on them, giving them a silver edge. Evelyn gently leaned on Alex's shoulder, and Alex gently hugged her waist. The two quietly enjoyed this moment of peace and warmth. “What should we do? The family won’t allow us to be together…” After a long time, Evelin broke the silence, with a hint of worry and helplessness in her voice. Alex frowned slightly and said with a firm look in his eyes: "I don't care, I will never give up on you. We will definitely find a way to resolve the hatred between the two tribes." Evelin raised her head and looked at Alex, her heart full of emotion and courage: “Well, as long as we are together, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome.” At this moment, there was a noisy sound of footsteps and shouting in the distance. Evelyn and Alex's faces suddenly changed. They realized that the family might have discovered their whereabouts. "Hurry up!" Alex took Evelyn's hand and quickly ran to the other side of the castle. They shuttled through the narrow passage, the footsteps behind them were getting closer and closer, and the tense atmosphere was like an invisible net, tightly enveloping them. At the critical moment, Alex found a secret path, and he rushed out with Evelyn and disappeared into the night. Although they temporarily escaped the pursuit, they knew that the road ahead would be more difficult. However, the flame of this love burned more fiercely in the predicament, and they were determined to fight against fate for each other.
