I was scared thinking it was her father. But then I thought, 'let it be him. So I can show him what happens when he hurts Gwen?' but instead Gwen just said "Come in" and I knew it wasn't her father. If it was she would make me hide first. It was her maid. The woman walked in and closed the door behind her. She looked at me and gasped. "Gwen, what's he doing here? If your fa- that man was home he would be dead." She explained in a slight British accent. I also caught how she didn't call him her father and I agree with her. "I know." We both said. "But I want to help her get the hell away from him." I said angry looking at the cuts and bruise again.
"So do I boy. We spend every night trying to think of a way to set her free, nothing comes to mind." The maid said. "Gwen would you and Trent like something to eat?" she questioned politely. "No thank you." Gwen said still not taking her head off my shoulder.

We spent hours over how to get Gwen safe. Nothing came to mind, until the maid, whose name is Lilly, said "…there are something's we can't just run away from, we need to solve…" and it hit me. "RUN AWAY!" the ladies looked at me confused. "Gwen! Runaway from here." I said with a huge smile across my face. "If you run away, then it's not kidnapping. If you leave a note explaining why you ran, your father will be arrested. And you'll be free." I was so excited, nothing was wrong.
"Nice idea but if they find Gwen, and they will look for her, and the arrest him, she'll end up back in an orphanage." Lilly added. "Not unless she has a guardian." I pointed out. "My father is real close to finding a guardian for Gwen. You see he says that her mom left on in the will but…" I began to explain before Gwen cut me off. "She's been dead for ever. I never even met her." She said. "Why do you think that Gwen?" I asked. She was confused. "Could it be that she died before your mom married Satan? Why in the world would your mom right a will when you were 4 leaving you to a woman who's been dead for over 10 years?" I asked. "Someone did that purposely. My dad is looking for who is supposed to be your real legal guardian, and we're so close. If my dad shows the cops this when, I mean if, they find you then they have to help solve the crim." I couldn't finish my explanation because Gwen threw her arms around me in a huge hug.
"So, someone changed who Gwen's guardian is?" Lilly asked. "Precisely. We just need to find out who, and why. And the real guardian. So what do you say Gwen?" I said now looking in her eyes. "Want to run away?" she smiled a big bright smile. She didn't seem so fragile anymore. She seemed back to her old self, happy, healthy, full of life.
"Problem. Satan won't be back for 2 days. If Gwen has been missing two days before I realize she's been gone, then that's causes trouble for me." Lilly added. She was right. If we left her behind, she would be interrogated until she cracked. "What if you quit? And then two days latter Gwen has gone missing?" I asked. "Perfect." She said.
**********
Ok so here's the plan. Lilly is going to call and resin. She will say that Gwen is old enough to care fro herself and there are plenty of other maids, and leaves. After Lilly is gone out of state, Gwen breaks out of the house. The maids notices Gwen's gone, reads her note, calls cops, she's a run away. Home free.
"Ok ready?" I asked Lilly as she gripped the phone, and Gwen was still packing.
"Lets do this." She pressed talk, and walked out to yell at him, and quit. I helped Gwen pack. She only grabbed one bag, and filled it with 10 shorts,10 pants,10skirts,money,first aid kit, makeup,10bras,and 10panties…..not that I was counting them or anything. T.T
Then Lilly walked back in. "I am leaving now. Wait 2 hrs then go downstairs, then talk to a maid, ask for me, then when you found out I quite, runaway." Lilly said looking at Gwen. She took Gwen's face in her hands, and hugged her. "Take care Gwen. I wish I could give you my cell but it's too dangerous." "Not if I use a payphone." She said.
Lilly smiled and scribbled her cell number on a paper and handed it to Gwen. "Good bye." She said tearing up. The she looked at me, "Take care of her." She warned. "I will." I said. Lilly walked out. I wrapped my arms around Gwen in a hug. "I always will."
