The Long Trip

As I ran far down the road into the dark night I noticed a train getting ready to leave to somewhere and that's just where I needed to go, as far away from home so no one could find me,

I quietly walk up to some bushes not far from the train noticing a small area where I could hop on and take the ride for free since I had to spend my money wisely for food and other things, I look around checking if there wasn't any guards walking around that could notice me and I was in luck no one was there, or at least I thought so, as I ran to the box cart of the train I saw a guard walking up the train track checking every cart there was on the train,

"Shoot!" I whisper to myself, I quickly hop onto the box cart, sighing to my relief that there was hay in it, I could hear the guard walking up the stony path checking the carts and I got just the perfect amount of time to bury myself into the hay to hide from the guard just before being caught, my heart was pounding in my chest, as I hear foot steps walking away I quickly start breathing again since I forgot to breath from the fright that I was in, soon after that the train rings it's bells and we're off, 

"I can't believe I'm doing this" I tell myself and then start laughing for a while, I just couldn't believe it, my plan worked, I was going to be free! I'll finally be able to do what I want and make my own choices, no more parents telling me what to do, no more chores, no more getting hurt physically and mentally, as I thought about these things a huge grin was forming on my face,

"What's so funny?" I hear a voice behind me as I jump back in fright and run to the other side of the cart "oh sorry, did I startle you?" I hear a deep voice asked me and then chuckled, though I still couldn't see anyone standing there "who are you?" I ask trying not to show the fear in my voice "I'm Sans, and you are?" He said without hesitation "I'm Simathy..." I answer thinking about who this guy could be, "Nice name" he says in a calm voice,

"What are you doing on this cart?" I ask him slightly confused on why someone else would be here, "probably the same thing you are" he answers "running away from home", "oh, well..." I answer trying to think of what to say "what made you run away?" He asks softly stepping out into the light where I could see him, he had jet black hair and blue eyes, he looked like he was around my age and was pretty damn tall in my opinion since I was so short "oh, I umm..." I struggled to tell him the truth "I wasn't treated very well at home.." I finally tell him after a few seconds of waiting "oh, I'm sorry...... wanna know why I ran away?" He asked since it was the more reasonable thing to say since I already told him why I did, I really didn't know what to say so I just looked up at him and stared into his eyes and nodded

 "Well, it all started when I was around 4 years old and my mother had died, after that my father wasn't really the way he used to be before, he stayed at work and rarely came back home, he never talked to me as much anymore either so I kind of lost my connection with him, then one day he didn't show up home from work, he didn't show up for about three days and he would never have stayed that long, he worked as a scientist so I figured something went wrong in the lab and he may have.........died, so I decided to run away from home since I had a feeling that one day people would show up to my house to take me to an orphanage, and I didn't want that to happen so that's why I ran away, hoping they wouldn't find me" he sighed as he finished telling his story and by then we were both sitting down in the cart looking at eachother

"Im so sorry" I really felt like hugging him to make him feel better but I was afraid that would be a little too awkward since I didn't really know him yet, "it's alright, I'm kind of over that now" he said winking to me trying to lighten up the mood 

After that we talked for hours getting to know eachother better and slowly fell asleep...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time Skip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up to the noise of the train bells ringing and look over to my side to see Sans sleeping in the hay right next to me, I slightly shake him to wake him up, "huh?..." He wakes up blinking trying to get used to the light shining in his eyes "I think we have to get off the train now" I tell him as I start to stand up from the hay and dust it off "yea, I think so too" he says looking out into a field where the train was driving 

As the train starts to get slower I take a step closer to the edge to see where I would be able to jump off without hurting myself

"Simathy?, would it be ok if I join you on your..." he hesitated a bit "journey?" He asked quietly "oh uh, sure" I say smiling warmly at him "oh, great" he says smiling back and standing up from the hay and walking over to me "so, we gonna jump on three?" He asks looking at me "yup" I say looking down to the ground "one......two......three!" I yell and we both jumped out at the same time landing down into the field of tall grass 

As we both get up and dust ourselves off I reaslise that there's a small road down the end of the field, "well, you wanna follow me or do you have any suggestions on where to go?" I ask him "nah, I'm just gonna go with you" he says casually "alright, let's go!" I yell pointing to the road ahead "aye aye, captain!" He yells back slightly laughing

And off we went, our journey together had finally begun!
