Ella lay on the floor staring at the clock on the wall, watching the hours tick by. She had done this a thousand times, and she had always thought she would do it a thousand more. But she wouldn't. This was the last time she would lay on this carpet, watching hours tick by. The last time she would await her sister knocking on her bedroom door to ask her a question. This was the last time her life would ever be the same. Once she left the old cottage she had grown up in. Once she left her sister, she would leave and never come back. But no one else knew that. Nobody else knew what Ella had planned for weeks, months even. They didn't know anything about her, and thats why they didn't know she was leaving. Ella didn't want to leave but she couldn't stay. As much as her step parents loved her, they didn't. And as much has her sister promised to stay with her forever, she wouldn't. If Ella ever told her secret she would be treated as a phycopath, sent off to the crazy hospital immediatly. Her step-parents would tell news reporters how they had always thought that she was different and that they were disowning her for her actions. Her sister would act as if she had never known her. And Ella would live the rest of her life eating three cardboard-tasting meals a day while she sat in her cell thinking to herself "Why am I differnt?!"...Ok maybe she was over thinking it but in the end, if she told her seceret it still wouldn't end up well.
