_ I was in my room reading a book with a bit of difficulty. When Ms. C came in I tried to hide the book from her but it too late she had seen me with it. "Anya what you doing." "Just cleaning up my room Ms. C," I lied Immediately picking up a few clothes that were on the floor. Hoping that Ms. C wouldn't beat me more than she was going to before dinner like she always did but Ms. C had to snoop, around my room which had a bookcase that was bare and a dresser that was empty because all the clothes I had were on the floor, then she knocked over my bed with a mighty kick and saw my book that was hidden underneath my pillow. She picked it up and screamed at me "What is this Anya!"

"A book as you can see perfectly," I said with venom and hatred to the muscular Orphanage owner. Then with just as much hatred back Ms.C snidely said, "Yes it is and what is an orphan with reading dyslexic doing with a book that she clearly won't be able to read."I looked her straight in the eye and said, "I was reading it actually and according to the bill of rights I have all the ri-" Then Ms. C Slapped me across the face so hard that my front teeth fell out and barked, "little girls who talk back get Slapped and little girls who disobeyed get an extra beating" While she goes to get a belt I untie my shoelaces as fast as I can. I then tie them together and wait, and then she walks in Anya "you know that I hate you right," She then walks towards me and then I slide between her legs while holding the ends of the shoelace nice and tight causing her to trip while I kept running and running till I got to Central Park. It was dark and I was all alone and I could hear Ms. C coming".

Then I woke up but it was not just a nightmare it was my past the day I ran away from the Orphanage. I got up and on the sleeping bag was a daddy long leg. Daddy long legs aren't dangerous spiders they're not even real spider but still, they terrify me. So I slowly took off my shoe while shaking, and then when I had taken my shoe I grabbed it in both hands and vigorously beat the sleeping bag numerous times to kill the spider and screaming spider. I know that this sounds childish but I arachnophobia an extreme fear of spider. And when I was little I used to dream that spiders were constantly biting me in my sleep them when I woke up there would be no bite marks whatsoever and one or two spiders. All my screaming had woken up my best friend Rose who had a knife in her hand when she came out saying who or what is I'll protect you An."Then when she noticed that nobody was there she and that I had had on a shoe in my hand instead of on my foot she asked, "Was there a spider"Still hyperventilating I said, "Y-yah go back to sleep."

"Ok An but you go back to sleep too" I checked the area around me for any spiders but didn't see anything so I laid back down. Rose has always been there for me ever since we first met which was when I ran away, I could hear Ms. C coming for such a big and tall woman she sure walked fast when I was done catching my breath I ran into Central Park. After what seemed like 20 minutes I looked behind my shoulder. And while I wasn't paying attention I bumped it to a girl who looked about 6 years older than me so about 12 she had red hair and eyes that were as green as a flower's stalk and was short looking"Sorry" I said "I wasn't paying attention to where I was going" She looked up and said, "It's okay my names Rose what's yours"

"Anastasia, Anya for short"

"Well Anya what are you doing in Central Park so late it's dangerous"

"What are you doing here then." She was right though many children go to Central Park at night and never come back "Just making sure that the plants are ok. I know a place where you can stay it'll be safer than here in the open." I better be ready she could be trying to do so many bad things.

"How do I know you're not going to take me to a place and give me to people who will sell me on the black market I'm not stupid!" I didn't actually think she would do this though I mean she did look like she was only 8 but, you never know these days. "I can see that but there is no way for you to know for sure unless you follow me Anya" I suddenly I heard Ms. C call my name maybe if I follow this girl I can get away from her. "Anya if you follow me I'll protect you from whomever you've run away from." Ms. C was getting closer I'll have to make a decision now or Ms. C will get me. "Okay Rose lead me to this Haven."

"Can I carry you it'll be quicker" She then took me to an old abandoned warehouse that was probably ridden with spiders I started to shake. "What's the matter?"

"I hate spiders they like to attack me."

"Now do they well you won't have to worry about them if you wear this it's enchanted to protect the person who wears it." She handed me an orange pin that read CHB."I rolled my eyes and said "Yeh right" But I took it anyway not wanting to offend the person offering me a place to stay out of the rain and protect me. Still shaking I entered the abandoned warehouse with Rose. Then Rose entered the room and said "Hey I know a camp we could go to that would accept us even if we went they wouldn't ask about your parents" I had learned to trust Rose from time and knew that she was telling the truth. "Ok I'll pay for the taxi" (All the money that I make is from a lemonade stand that I set up in the park in the afternoon that Rose supplies me with.)
