I just don't understand. Celina is gone and it is all daddies' fault for not getting her better care. If mother was still here I know she would give her own life for Celina, she…there was a tap at the door that cut Gisele's thought off. It was Cal.

"Gisele…" he paused.

"You don't know where to begin, hmm? How about starting with harassing Jaclyn's mother let's start there."

"That was nothing to your concern." Cal tried to keep his temper from rising.

"Oh I'm sure."

"When I say it is none of you concern, young lady, I expect you to drop the subject!" Cal barked. "Is that in anyway unclear?"

Gisele felt so enraged, she couldn't handle this anymore. "THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD IT!! YOU NEVER LOVED ME NOR CELINA. YOU LET HER DIE AND YOU KNOW IT!!"

Cal opened his mouth to say something, but then thought about it and slapped Gisele across the cheek. "You are NEVER to speak to me in that tone again." He grabbed her delicate arms tightly. "Clear?"

He didn't even give her a chance to answer. Instead he stormed out of the room, locking the door behind him. Gisele heard the lock click and knew immediately what had happened. She ran over to the door and started banging on it "HELP!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!! LET ME OUT!!!" Unfortunately she knew that was not going to happen. Not long after, she sat behind her door,too tired to do nothing more than tap at the door and softly say, "help, help me,someone. Anyone." He can't do this to me! He cant!!

But he had, he locked me in here like an animal at the zoo. Like I was some common criminal,like,like—runaway. Gisele sat up,realizing how stiff she was from sitting behind the door all that time. It was not nighttime yet, but late afternoon. The sun was just beginning to set.

"Tonight." She whispered to herself, shaking from the sudden chill "I-I—I'll do it...tonight...after...everyone is asleep." She got up and began to walk to her closet when she heard a small voice.

"What are you doing??" Gisele turned around and backed against the wall suddenly. Standing before her was a short, pale girl in a elegant black dress. It was Celina without a doubt.

"What do you want, Celina?? You know he never loved us. You would have done the same thing."

"True,very true. I saw everything he did to you."

Gisele pulled out some clothes out of her closet and pulled out a suitcase from the top shelf. "Really?"

"Where are you going to go? New York?" Suddenly, Gisele pulled out a small bag and dumped it out onto her bed. Celina's jaw dropped. "How much is that?!?!"

"About $348. Enough to get me to New York where I can get a job and then go to Los Angeles." But when Gisele turned around she found herself just to be talking to the air. Celina was gone now, but Gisele did not have time to worry about that. She had to get ready to sneak out,it wouldn't be long before her plan would be put into action.

The next morning, Gisele could not believe where she had found herself. In a small motel on the outskirts of Philadelphia. All through the night there had been knocks at the door of drunken men expecting prostitution. It finally calmed down a little and she got some sleep but realized she could not stay here another night. As she cleaned herself up and checked for lice in her straight blond hair and collected her things,leaving no trace of herself behind.

Once she was out of there, she went to the train station and got a ticket to New York City. I know Jaclyn and Rose will help me,hide me. Once on the train, she sat in her seat and watched the world go past her. Horses in fields,cows,houses, cars and people. Soon, she fell sound asleep. When she woke up, she was in Penn Station in New York City. It was nighttime and she figured that she would stay in a better hotel than last night, one where drunken men did not come knocking at your door asking if you are available. Don't they know I am only twelve years old?!?!

Not knowing where to go next, Gisele just followed everyone else out of the terminal. She had no idea where Rose or Jaclyn lived, but it was now getting later and later. She needed to find a place for the night.
