Chapter Ten
I never really believed in God much, but I was sure he was the one who got me and Cat on that freight train safely. Despite how petrified I was after all that had happened that night, I had to keep my thoughts straight and get us to that hiding place.
Cat wasn't talking much, and I didn't blame her one bit. Poor kid, she had never harmed anything in her life, and here she was: a murderer by accident. Not that I paid much attention back in school, but I remembered learning in history class about government and such. Everyone gets a trial, I learned. That means Cat would get one too, and what judge would put such a sweet child like her in prison?
We were on that freight for a couple hours. Cat had several fits and I held her tight the way Jade or Switch would, but I wanted someone to hold me, too. We slept a little, and finally we arrived in Windrexville before the sun came up.
When I saw that the train station was deserted except for some workers, we hopped off without being noticed and hurried out. I made sure to stop at the small convenience store to buy some lasting food. Then we headed out for Jay Mountain.
The little church we eventually found was rundown and had clearly been long abandoned, but it would work for us two runaways; it had to. I dragged a tired Cat inside and helped her settle on an old, sturdy pew, buttoning up Jade's jacket to keep her as warm as possible. And, boy, did I wish Jade would come soon. Now all we could do was wait.
A/N: Don't say it. I know it's short. And I promise I'll be updating either tomorrow or Sunday, but hopefully tomorrow because I already have Chapter Eleven half written. On a napkin. Lmao. So, yeah. See you then!
