Chapter 98
Edna
Despair started to press down on me.
From the look of things, I don't think I would be able to get out of this city at all.
Would I fail here? Would this be the end?
Tears burned my eyes but I blinked rapidly to clear it away.
Crying wouldn't solve any of the problems I am currently battling. This wasn't the time to do indulge in that.
I wished I could contact Killian. Angelo didn't have a phone and the people with contact devices in the theater troupe couldn't contact the outside world without going through a rigorous inspection.
I didn't forget about the little information Morgan left for me. Most of the people in the theater troupe had complicated stories behind them.
I don't know how the current situation in the capital looked like. Even if I had a way to reach him, contacting him rashly had a higher chance of bringing consequences I don't like.
Furthermore, I don't even have access to any contact information that could be used to get to Killian. I never imagined that I would leave his side for a very long time so I didn't have something like his number in my possession.
I usually remind myself that things happen and even with Killian's powers, some unfortunate things might still occur. I just didn't know that I wouldn't even get the opportunity to settle down before I was forcefully launched into the unknown.
My mind flashed back to Jelena for what she did to me. She caused all my misfortune. If I managed to get out of this safely, I would not let her go. I don't even know if she would even be alive if I managed to get back to Killian's side.
For someone as powerful as Killian, I don't know how infuriating it would be to know that someone he wanted to keep protected was taken away from his side without his notice.
I stopped thinking of revenge or Killian. If I don't manage to get out of here, all those things wouldn't matter.
The guards didn't slack off at all. They took their job serious. No one was allowed to slip through.
Their movements were rough too. They treated any suspicious person like the highest level criminal.
Thankfully, after confirming that those suspicious people weren't who they were looking for, they let those people go.
The guards apologized to them for the blunder too.
It seems I would not be able to use this exit.
I turned away from the exit. I was a bit far away so nobody noticed that I was leaving. I continued asking for directions from the people moving around and I visited most of the official exits in the city.
Sadly, the situation of those exits was similar to the first one I visited. Those exits was filled with guards checking people's faces and other things. I wasted a full day on this task.
I was basically an homeless person that depended on the discarded trash from restaurants to live. I can't survive like this for a very long time. It was not sustainable. I can't stay in this city forever.
Madam Tayo, Mr Blake and the theater troupe had many people under them. They might succeed in scouring this City in its entirety soon.
I don't know if the theater troupe would follow their schedule of leaving this City after the last show.

The last show was held days ago.
One part of me was a bit tempted to look for the police woman that interrogated me when I got reported earlier. I wanted her protection.
Unfortunately, there were many factors stopping me. One, nobody knows if she was under the control of Mr Blake or Madam Tayo.
Secondly, having any intersection with her would open up a can of worms. Letting her know that I wasn't Morgan would do more harm than good.
Thirdly, I don't even know how to find her. The current area I am in is completely unknown to me. I was just asking around for directions.
If my mental calculations were correct, I would be miles and miles away from where her police station was.
Trying to go back to that police station would sap my strength and increase stress.
For a risky endeavor like this, that wasn't a sacrifice I was willing to make.
It seemed I would have to continue lying low for now.
I was just hoping that Madam Tayo and the other two hegemons pursuing me would lose interest and let me go.
Although the chances of that happening was slim, I can't stop the hope in my heart from forming.
I don't know the way back to the original bridge I was sleeping under. I had to improvise and find another one to use as my temporary sleeping quarters.

After the numerous blows I had to stomach, there was no strength and appetite to eat.
I sat under the new bridge I found and looked at the sky silently.
There were a few beggars and other homeless people around but everywhere was quiet.
It felt like all of us had unanimously agreed to keep our words to ourselves.
I couldn't even understand why there were homeless people and beggars in this world. Then, I remembered that not everyone in this world had a superpower. Even after putting that aside, if an indigenous alien had a superpower that seemed useless to others or to themselves, homelessness and begging might be the end result.
I bent my legs and rested my head on my knees. I wrapped my arms around myself. There was no blanket or other sleeping supplies. The city gets colder at night so I wanted to preserve as much heat as I could.
If I get sick, I would be done for.noveldrama
Some of the people sleeping under the bridge like me hugged each other. There were others that were alone like me too.
I didn't stop looking at the sky.
Things were going to be okay. It had to.
