When Winnie finally turned 17 she had a difficult choice to make. Practically everyday since the Tucks left Winnie would visit and guard the spring. She would sit on a stump from the tree and gently glide her hand through the water, but never did she bring it to her lips.

Wake up with the dawn.

Winnie cannoned out of her bed. And went to the window. The sun was rising on her birthday…her 17th birthday. She quickly got her self dressed and flew out of her room, down the stairs, out of her house, and into the woods. They hurried herself until she reached the spring. There she came to an abrupt stopped and walked her way over to her stump. Like most days she slid her white hand into the water.

Winnie come with me.

Winnie picked up and hand full of water and let it slip through her fingers. In her head she was reliving that night as she did every so often which seemed to be almost everyday.

I can't go without you.

She stuck her hand back into the water.

Winnie Foster, I will love you. Till the day I die.

"Why not forever?" She said to herself. "You'll never die Jesse." She said this time bring a hand ful of water up out of the spring. "Why not forever?" And with that she closed her eyes, said good bye to mortality and took a sip of the water.

Walking home she thought of all the time she now has. But realized she could not stay. When she arrived home her mother was looking for her…as usual.

"Yes mother." Winnie said to her mother as her mother called up the stair for Winnie.

"Oh good lord." Mrs. Foster said turning around and grabbing her heart. "Darling where were you…wait that's a silly question a know where you were."

"Where else mother." Winnie smiled.

"Whats wrong with you?" Mrs. Foster asked.

"Nothing , why?" Winnie answered.

"You seem different."

"Of course what ever else could be be" Mrs. Foster answered sarcastically.

That day was wonderful for Winnie. All she knew so far was she was going miss her life here, and her parents. After supper Winnie went up stairs and packed a small bag of only things she needed. She slipped out of the window and made her way to the ground. Then she headed for town where in the morning she would go to her bank and collect everything that was saved for her. She knew no one would suspect her to run away so early. She would be thought to have wandered off to the wood like most mornings. She did leave one thing behind and it was a letter to her parents, a letter saying goodbye…forever.

When Winnie had her money and was on her way. She thought about the Tucks. About Jesse. Then about when she would return to TreeGap. She decided to give herself 50 years. Sadly she thought everyone who could possibly remember her would definitely be gone. And she could live by herself and wait…
