Chapter 28 Back to the ice

Alice

After Gideon left the room, I stood up, then I walked inside. I was starving, I thought I would have to go to bed without dinner, but Gideon thought

about me

I opened the bag, and there was some grilled meat, vegetables, and salad. It smelled nice. I took the cutleries, and I sat down to eat. After I finished, I tidied up, and I really wanted to get rid of the remains, but he asked me to stay in my room. I took a deep breath, and I went to the door. It was really quiet, so I thought I would try.

I tried to be like a shadow, and I got to the kitchen. Before I would have sneaked back into my room, I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge. No one noticed me.

I just had a shower, then I went to bed. I was excited about tomorrow. Finally, I could go back to the ice. I planned to train a lot. I missed a lot, and I really hoped that I would meet some normal people there.

Maybe I would have some friends who would help me get out of here. Seth made that clear the next time he wouldn’t be that kind, so next time I had to be more smart. Next time I couldn’t fail. I felt asleep with these thoughts.

The next morning, I was in a better mood. I couldn’t wait to leave. Warming up in my room wasn’t easy, but I didn’t want to spend my precious time out of the ice. I stretched and tried to jump a few times. These were little moments only, but they made me smile. I couldn’t wait to be on the ice.

It was nearly 9 am when I got everything ready, I got my new ice skates too. I only hoped that they wouldn’t give me a hard time at first use.

I heard knocking on my door, and 1 stood up happily. Gideon opened the door and looked at me. I didn’t know why, but I smiled at him.

“Are you ready?”

I nodded. I took my bag, and he led me down. When we stepped out of the house, there was a big black car with black windows. It was like the one that took me from the airport.

A bold man stood next to it in a suit. He looked like a bodyguard or a security person. I felt bad enough, but when I saw the gun on his side, I felt terrible.

I swallowed, then I could feel a hand on my back. I just realised I had stopped, and Gideon gently pushed me forward. He walked with me and be left his hand on my waist, and that just killed my mood more. It gave me the feeling of I shouldn’t trust that bold guy. Probably, Gideon held me like that because he didn’t trust in him either.

“Alice, this is Sam. He’s going to take you to the ice rink. You can’t move without him, understand?

I nodded.

“Okay. Well, have fun.” He said.

I just looked at him, and I moved forward. Sam helped me to get into the car, and I could see that from the window, Gideon had a meaningful look at him before he sat in to the driver’s side. That made me scared again. I tried to calm myself, and I could only hope that he was really taking me to the sports centre.

He didn’t talk to me on the way, but I could see that from the corner of my eyes, sometimes he looked at me. I didn’t remember the way, so I couldn’t be sure he was driving in the right direction.
