CHAPTER 2:
(Normal POV)
"Rise and shine, sleepy head! We're home!" Holly heard Flaky say, she shook her slightly to wake her up. Holly's eyes opened lightly, she rubbed them and yawned.
"What time is it?" She tiredly asked, Flaky looked at her watch,
"It's about 6:30 in the morning, we were on the road for about 5 hours at the most." Holly stretched out her arms and got out of the car. Holly looked a mess, Flaky sighed and grabbed her hand,
"Come one, let's get you cleaned up, maybe something to eat, I bet you're starving." She said as they both walked into their house, Holly chuckled,
"I am actually starving, considering our food was drugs and pills, oh, and don't get me started on this wretched chemical I had to drink every hour." Holly complained, Flaky silenced her and giggled,
"There's no need to tell me, just put all of that behind you and forget about the past three years in that place! We can start a fresh." Flaky said as they both walked into their house.
Holly took a long, hot shower whiles Flaky made them both something to eat. When she finished, she dished it out onto their plates. Holly was soon done in the shower, she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her body and wrapped one around her hair. After she dried herself off she put on a grey vest top, black, baggy jeans and a pair of purple converse on before tying her long, damp, brown hair in a ponytail. A thought struck her. Her Yin and Yang pendant. She rummaged the pockets of the white pants she wore earlier and soon found it. She let out a sigh of relief as she put it on around her neck.
Holly walked into the kitchen and the smell of fresh vegetables and fruit filled her nose, Flaky had made their favourite salad.
"Well, don't just stand there and admire it, dig in!" Flaky laughed sitting in a chair at the table, Holly sat opposite before they both ate their food. It didn't take them both very long to finish.
"Oh, how I've missed that salad you make." Holly sighed, relaxing in her chair until she let out a short burp. Flaky laughed,
"And oh, how I've missed your manners." She said sarcastically, taking the plates away and washing them in the sink.
"Meh, you gotta love my manners, Flakes." Holly said with a wink. They heard the phone ring, Flaky walked towards it,
"I'll get it," She picked up the phone and answered it, "Hello?"
"Hello, Miss Flaky, this is Holly's personal nurse from the asylum, did you visit Holly last night?" Flaky froze, the nurse must have found out about Holly escaping.
"Yes, I did." She said, glancing at Holly.
"I see.. Did you go straight home after your visit?" Flaky felt her palms get sweaty.
"Y-yes, why?" Flaky stammered nervously. The nurse didn't answer for a moment.
"...It's nothing, Miss. Sorry to waste your time." Before Flaky could say anything else, the phone line went dead. Flaky looked back at Holly worriedly.
"I think they know about your escape.." She mumbled. Holly rose from her seat.
"Pack your stuff. Pack everything up." She blankly said.
"Why, what's wrong?" Flaky asked, confusingly.
"Because they're coming to look for me, and I'm not going back there. Ever." Holly said, pulling out a few of their suitcases and cardboard boxes. Flaky could tell that she was scared, Holly hardly ever gets scared, but escaping from somewhere like that and then being locked up in there again would be painfully horrific, so she couldn't say no to moving away.
They quickly packed everything up in cardboard boxes and suitcases and stacked them up in one room.
"Where could we go?" Holly mumbled, nervously pacing up and down the room, Flaky thought for a moment.
"I know! There's this town I've heard of, it's quite far away, but I heard it's worth the journey. I think it's Happy Tree Town." Flaky explained, Holly shrugged then nodded,
"Anywhere's fine, as long as we get out of this place." She said, "Do we still have that car extension, Flaky?" Flaky nodded,
"It's in the garage, it's been there ever since." She said.
"Good, we can pack the large stuff in there, and pack the rest in the boot of the car." Holly said, as she started to pick up the cardboard boxes and carry them towards the garage. Flaky did the same with some of the suitcases and packed them in the car extension.
Just before they finished packing, the heard police sirens in the distance getting closer. Holly rushed the last boxes into the car.
"Come on, hurry!" She said before they both quickly got into the car. Flaky revved up the engine before speeding off down the road. They both took one look at their house and sighed. Flaky concentrated on the road whiles Holly took out a map to give Flaky directions.
"Do we have enough gas?" Holly asked. Flaky nodded,
"Yeah, but we might need to make a stop halfway. At least the police are gone." Holly relaxed in her seat. Flaky relaxed herself as she got the directions from Holly.
After around 6 hours of travelling, they came across a sign that said, "Welcome To Happy Tree Town!" Flaky smiled,
"We're here!" She exclaimed, waking up the sleeping tiger,
"Wah.. What did I miss?" She tiredly mumbled as she let out a yawn.
"You missed half the journey, I'm surprised I didn't get lost without your directions when you fell asleep." Flaky chuckled. They came across a borderline and they jumped as they car bumped into something. But there was nothing there.
"Shit.." Flaky mumbled as she halted the car and got out, followed by Holly. They both nervously checked around the car to see if they hit something or if the car was scratched or dented. But there wasn't anything near the car that they could possibly hit, and there wasn't a single scratch on the car. Flaky and Holly looked at each other nervously before getting back into the car and driving off.
"Ok, that was really weird.." Holly mumbled, looking back at the borderline. Flaky shuddered.
"I.. I don't know.. I thought I hit.. Someone.." Flaky mumbled, Holly sunk into the seat and folded her arms.
"Yeah, or something." She said. Flaky tightened her grip on the steering wheel. Holly noticed this and patted her shoulder.
"Don't worry, Flakes, there was nothing there. Maybe we just hit a rock." Holly said, trying to comfort the shaking porcupine. Flaky nodded and sighed, even though she knew that there was nothing there. She shook it off and tried to forget it.
