Her feet violently and quickly hit the snow quilted ground. Her pants were heavy upon her mouth, and her heart beating uncontrollably out of her chest. She was running from the darkness that wanted to grab her by the ankle and trap her in a cage of silence forever. Worries were beginning to fill her head. Have my parents realized I'm gone? Will they start looking for me? What will I do once I reach Station Square?

She didn't have much of a plan. She only had 105 rings and a goal to reach Station Square. She knew if she reached her destination, she would be free from the oppression her parents made her suffer.

After running for what seemed like hours, she made it to the train station. "Excuse me sir! What time does the next train come!" She panted out. Her cheeks blushed as she realized that her weariness was apparent on her face.

"Oh! I believe it comes at 9:00 pm, Miss!" The dapper looking man said politely. He was dressed in a very fancy suit, so he must've had somewhere important to go. "What's your name, Miss? You seem quite tired… Do you need any help?" He asked worriedly.

"My name is Blaze…" Blaze paused, having a mental debate on whether she should tell him she needed help around Station Square when she arrived. "Do you…do you have a map of Station Square? It's my first time visiting alone, so I don't really know my way around…" The fact that Blaze was nervous was very apparent. The dapper man had raised a brow at her, wondering if she was too young to travel alone. He simply dismissed this thought, not wanting to judge.

"There should be a couple of city maps in the building over there…" Blaze instantly stood up, ready to walk towards the building, but was then stopped by the dapper man. "Don't worry, Miss. I'll get it for you!" He announced cheerfully.

Blaze sat on the snow covered bench, waiting patiently for the man to return with the Station Square map. She took out her cell phone to check the time. 8:43, there's still a load of time left. I need to buy a ticket! She jumped up and walked quickly to the building. When she reached the doors, the dapper gentleman had bumped into her in his way out. "Here's your map!" After handing her the map, he looked slightly confused. "You were supposed to wait…" He said sadly, thinking she didn't trust him.

"Oh, no! I just realized I needed to buy a ticket." Blaze was worried she had hurt his feelings. The dapper man then gave a wide smile, and got out of her way.

She walked through the glass doors of the metro station's building, and spotted the pretty clerk, sleeping with her head laying in the cold hard counter. "Excuse me, Mam…" Blaze's soft spoken voice had woken the clerk up.

"Oh! Umm… S- sorry! How may I help you?"

"I need to buy a one way ticket to Station Square, please…"

"Oh, y-yeah, I can definitely help you with that!" She slightly turned to her computer and began to print a ticket. After It was done, the clerk smiled with accomplishment. "Here, Miss! Your train should be coming at 9:00 PM." The clerk smiled.

Blaze checked the time on the wall clock behind the clerk's head. 8:52… Will my parents come and find me by the time it's 9:00? She dismissed these pessimistic, nearly impossible thoughts and waved good bye to the clerk and walked back out into the cold.

She sat down at the bench she was patiently sitting down at before. Blaze looked closely into the distance, and saw the faint outline of the train coming near. "Finally…" Blaze heard a tired mother and her children sigh near her. All her worries were replaced with excitement by then. I finally did it… I finally escaped… Tears of joy were beginning to slip from her eyes. Keep it together, I can't have these people see me crying, they'll probably worry. Blaze wiped the tears off her face with the sleeve of her sweater.

The speed of Blaze's heart jumped as the train began to approach closer and closer, and then came to a stop. Her legs were shaky as she approached the entrance of the train. She took sighed of relief and calmed herself, and walked into the warm train. There's no way that they'll catch me at this point. I'm finally living on my own, following my own rules.

She sat at the nearest window seat, and stared out the window. It was snowing very hard in the town of Spagonia. I wonder if it's even snowing at Station Square. I should probably start planning what I'm going to do once I get there.

Blaze eyed her map carefully. I am kind of hungry, so I should probably eat first thing when I arrive. She spotted the closest restaurant near her stop on the map. Lemon Tea House sounds good. I wonder if I brought enough money for a cheap hotel I can stay at for the night. Ah! A Motel 6 not to far from the Lemon Tea House! Everything is going very smooth so far. I bet I can start job searching tomorrow so I can save up for an apartment! I'll probably work as a pastry chef somewhere like I've always wanted!

Blaze seemed to have nothing to worry about anymore. Her plan should work out successfully. And even if it doesn't work out the way she wants, she was never turning back to the cage she's been trapped in for 15 years. Optimism is the key to success! I have no need to worry about if things don't work out, because things finally will work out for me.

I hope I can make a couple of friends… I don't want to be exactly alone. Blaze had many friends back home in Spagonia, and she already misses them. They helped her through her toughest moments, and gave her her happiest moments. I wonder if they'll be worried out of their minds once they discovered I left. Blaze couldn't take a risk telling them she was leaving. They were very caring, sometimes a little too caring. They probably would've told the police, thinking she was better off staying in Spagonia then running away alone to Station Square. I hope they understand…

Blaze's eyes were beginning to get heavy, and she eventually fell asleep. Dreaming about what it would be like, finally being free…
