Chapter 2: Emily Rose (Emma)
Seeing the pain on his face kills me. He looks like a lost puppy who doesn't know what is going on or has happened.
"We need to run." Peters words brake the silence.
"What?"
"Run away with me Emma!" He pulls me close so our elbows touch.
"Really?"
"Yes! We can go to a different realm. Far away." Peter pulls a white bean that shines with rainbows colors when you move it. "We can use this."
"Ok Peter. I will run away with you."
Packing for a trip that will take my whole life is tough. I pack food such as bread and berries. I pack my dresses and night gowns. I pack herbs and medicine. I also pack a necklace that I plan on giving Peter right before we leave. It's a locket that opens and closes and on the inside is a picture of me. Pictures are rare where we live so I had to travel to the big city to get it taken.
Sneaking past my father I get out the door and down the path to Peters house. He is waiting on his porch for me. He has on a torn brown cloth shirt and leather pants. His boots come way up high. To about his knees and he has wrist cuffs made of leather. I reach out my hand and he takes it. Peter cocks an eyebrow, which always makes me giggle.
"Ready to go ?" He asks.
"Why of course I am ." I reply.
We take off running. The wind blows through my hair and the smell of pine and oak trees fills my noise. Peter reaches into his pocket and pulls out the bean.
"Here we go." He says holding my hand tight.
Peter throws the bean on the ground and a big green vortexes appears.
