Darksper drabble. Probably should be posting at Halloween. Didn't want to wait that long. Don't know if there will be a happy ending.

Chapter 35 – Attempt at Flight

I always dreamed of getting out, but never saw the opportunity.

Nothing much seemed to change after I tried to stab Jasper, but I noticed that Charlotte always went into the kitchen with me after that.

One night, she told me that she and Peter would be going away for a few days. Others of her kind would be staying at the house, and to tell Jasper if anything weird happened.

As if anything could be weirder than being here.

But later that night when I woke up, the house was unusually silent. No lights. No sounds.

I got up, pulled on some clothes, and crept down the stairs and into to the kitchen. I was well aware that they were very quiet, but still, no one came out into the hall or into the kitchen as they usually did when I moved about the house.

After waiting in the dark kitchen a few minutes, I still hadn't heard anything. So I opened the back door and stepped outside into the dark. There was only a quarter moon overhead, and there was a slight cloud cover.

Still alone in the dark silence. No one appeared in the doorway, summoning me back into the house.

I began walking then finally started running as I reached the edge of the woods behind the house.

THIS IS A DRABBLE.

No review, no continue.

Show some love? I'll send previews from the next chapter to all reviewers.
