Chapter Text
Silence...Exactly what she wanted to hear. All was quiet in the Sanctuary besides the faint sound of the waterfall near the entrance and the rain falling into the buckets littered around due to the disrepair of the holes in the ceiling. Very carefully, she sits up in the bed, trying to not wake the person sleeping soundly next to her.
Putting both feet on the ground, she gets up, gets dressed and grabs a sack next to the dresser and starts packing up what little belongings she had. Occasionally looking back at the sleeping figure when they would stir or make a slight noise, she continues packing up the last bit of clothing in the sack and pulling the drawstring tight. Going over to the chair next to the door, she grabs her cloak and wraps it around her back, pulling the hood up over her head. She quickly, but carefully, makes her way out of the room and down the stairs towards the kitchen. She opens the sack and starts putting whatever food she could find that would last her a while on the road inside.
"What do you think you're doing?" A deep voice coming from the shadows, low enough to not wake anyone else up but enough to cause her to jump and drop the bread she had in her hand.
"By Sithis! Nazir! You nearly gave me a heart attack!" She says in an angry whisper as she turns to look at him.
"Then maybe you shouldn't be sneaking around here at ungodly hours, I repeat again, what are you doing?" He whispers, moving closer.
"Nazir, I can't stay here, I really cannot get into the details with you right now, I have to get out of here before he wakes up." She pulls the drawstring back together and starts to head towards the exit. Before she can get too far, Nazir grabs her arm.
"Are you in danger? Have you been hurt?" Nazir whispers to you. She gently pulls her arm from his grasp
She sighs, "No i'm not hurt or in danger, at least I don't think so, but something has come up that I fear for what may happen and until I can be for certain that nothing will happen, I can't stay Nazir, so please, I must go." She turns back towards the exit and speeds up her steps to get away from Nazir before he can stop her. Nazir follows up behind her. "Nazir, one day I hope to let you know what I'm talking about, I understand i'm the Listener but I cannot stay."
"I can't stop you from going but tell me the truth, is it anything he's done? Trust me, the rest of the Brotherhood would have no issues with dealing with him if that were the case" He chuckles, keeping on her tail.
She stops in her tracks and turns to face him, "Nazir, please, i'm trying to be as nice as I possibly can be about this, I have to go, stop following me before we draw atten-" Before she can finish telling him to let her go, the door to the upstairs opens and a figure stands in the doorway.
"Olivia? Where are you going?" the figure questions, causing her to bolt towards the exit door. As she's heading for the door, she can hear footsteps fast approaching.
"OLIVIA! WAIT!" the man calls out to her, she hears Nazir say something to the man and a struggle but she doesn't look back "GET OFF OF ME YOU IDIOT! OLIVIA! COME BACK!PLEASE!"
She doesn't look back, hearing the pitiful please tore her heart out but she had to keep running and couldn't look back. Approaching the door, she opens it quickly and runs off into the woods, tightly clutching her sack and heading into dark of night, away from all that she loved and knew, the only home she's had for a long time. She gets behind a bunch of foliage to catch her breath and looks back towards the door, the man chasing her stands outside, looking around and calling out her name. Tears stream down her face as she quietly moves from her hiding place and takes back off, the man's voice fading away the farther she goes.
