Running Away

Taking Action

She stood outside on a large stone in the middle of a river. The wind blew her silver hair and the night sky made her eyes shine like two moons. She waited on the water for an hour with her long white dress flowing in the wind. Would he come for her? Would he leave her? Or more important, did she want him to come? The answer. No. She didn't love him. He terrified her with his madness and intense jelousy.

She got into the water and waded forward to the shore. She hear a twig snap not to far behind her in the forest. She quickend her pace knowing he would soon see her. "Moon!" He yelled hear name calling for her to show herself. She took a deep breath and went under water letting the current drag her away. She didn't want him to find her, she wanted him to leave her alone. The only way she could make this happen was to either a)run away, or b)die. And the latter didn't seem to pleasing.

The current took Moon all the way to town. She, of course, had to come up and take breaths once in a while, but she only did so when absolutly nessecary. She came out of the water and started walking toward town. She wouldn't be able to go to her home. That would be the first place he looked for her. She would go to her friends house then run away the next night. It was the safest thing that she could do.

So she walked to her friends house and climbed up the tree outside of her window. She knocked on the window to get her friends attention. Chrissy, her friend, came to the window and opened it, knowing it could only be Moon. Moon was the only person who ever opened it.

"Moon. What are you doing here?"

"I need your help Chrissy."

Chrissy looked at Moon worriedly. "Ok. Come in."
