Chapter 6:

*Shadow's POV*

My release day has come at last. Victoria and I are going to be out of this place. What everyone knows that I'm reuniting with Mommy and Daddy, but in reality, I'm starting a new life with my Scarecrow.

The usual prison uniform is replaced with a beautiful outfit. A midnight blue dress that went down to my knees and three quarter sleeves and black leggings. Black flats fit my small feet perfectly.

"Shadow?" Dr. Crane smiles to me. "Ready to go home?"

"Very ready," I smiled.

"Now there are rules that you must follow while living with me Mistress."

"I understand my Scarecrow."

"Of course I will tell you when we get home, is that understood?"

I nod my head with a smile.

"Good, come with me Mistress," he offers his hand.

I accepted with my hand while VIctoria is being held with my other arm.

A gentle breeze hit my face when we step out into the sunset. So many years into the asylum, Victoria and I nearly forgot forgot what the outside was like especially at night.

Jonathan helps me into the car and shows me hot to.

"Now," he says, sitting next to me in the driver's seat. "I know that you prefer being called Shadow, but when we are out and about like we are now, you must be called Isolabella. Okay?"

"Okay."

"Also stay close to me and you will be fine," he begins to drive.

"Right."

"Are you hungry Isolabella?" he asked with a soft smile.

"Yes I am," I smiled back.

"We are going to a place called a pizzeria. We're getting pizza for dinner."

I remember when I was with Mommy and Daddy, they will sometimes take me to these places called restaurants to get food. So I have an idea of where we are going.

"Will Victoria be okay in the car?" I asked worried for my dolly when we arrived.

"She will be alright," Jonathan assures me. "Victoria can scare off the pople who tries to steal the car," he smiles small.

"Yea, that's a good idea" I smiled, knowing she can do that.

Victoria sits in the passenger seat that I was previously in. My scary Scarecrow takes me to be a part of the outside pople. It was overwhelming because I'm so used to people I already know for years.

"I'm okay Isoabella," he says softly, holding my hand. "We are going to stay here for around an hour and we'll go home."

"Okay," I smiled.

Everyone seems to be quietly familiar to me, but still very unfamiliar. Scarecrow took control of what's going on. He orders a large pizza with black olives and sausage. My mouth waters, hearing what he ordered for food.

Soon we went over to a random table to wait for the meal. Drinks of water or soda are in our hands before sitting down.

"How do you feel being out of your imprisonment?" Jonathan asked smiling.

"It feels wonderful," I smiled, holding my soda with both of my hands. "Much lighter then before," I take a sip from my staw.

"That's good to hear. Since we are going to live together, I'm going to tell you everything you need to know," he says firmly. "For my job at the asylum my hours are eight to five. Also I spend many hours on my other job during the week."

"Will you have time for me?"

"Of course I will," he smiles.

"What responsibilities will I need to?" I asked when our pizza came.

"What can you do?" he asked, serving me two pizza slices on a plate.

"I can cook, clean, iron your suites, help you with your second job," I answered, taking a bite of my pizza.

"You already are going to help with my second job, but when you are needed, okay?"

"Okay," I pouted.

"Anyways, you are allowed to do whatever you want, but within reason," Jonathan is very firm about it.

"Jonathan," I giggled a little. "You know that I'll do anything for you," I eat more of my pizza.

"Good girl."

After dinner, Scarecrow drives away to a nearby hiding spot and waited for a good ten minutes. Screams of the victims of the pizzeria send chills of pleasure down my spine. Laughter fills up the car from mine and Victoria's mouths as Scarecrow drives with a wicked grin on his handsome face.
