I'm... free? (Part 2)
"I heard him tell John what happened that day... he... you went to get him something to drink... remember?"
"Yeah?" I asked, wondering where this was going.
"While you did, that's when he got the necklace, and also... that's when... he got your letter from your mother."
"So... what does that have anything to do with--" I paused. I felt that I would find out now! Why were they telling me this?
Mia was crying hard; even Rocky, the strong member of TR, cried.
Mia walked up to me, sat by me, and grabbed my hand. Then she looked me straight in the eyes.
"Giovanni... He... he... he killed your mother..."
My heart sank. I stared at them blankly, now I knew I had to leave. I knew that now wasn't the time to cry my eyes out. I knew that I have to leave that bastard here, I have to leave... NOW!
"OK..." I jumped up to my feet, my eyes filled with fire. "Rocky, tell me what I have to do!"
Rocky wiped her tears and gave me a little smile, then put on her tough look. "Ok, D, now you need to go. Tell the elevator boy that you want to do laundry, then go to the last dryer. Move the dryer to the side. There's a secret passageway under the dryer."
"OK... WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED?" Mia shouted.
"SHUT UP!" Rocky and I both yelled back. We were so lucky no one heard us.
"Bye," I said, walking to the elevator.
"Good bye... our friend," Rocky said.
"Let's get out of here... Bye-bye, D, we'll miss ya!" Mia said, walking away.
Rocky gave a wink to me and said, "You'll make it. I have faith in you!" Then she walked away. I pressed the down button.
The boy was reading an Anime magazine. "Hello, Delia, where do you want to go?"
"Laundry room. I need to wash some... clothes."
"Come on in, then."
Rocky peeked out from the center to see if he'd take me down, then disappeared.
As we were going down, he looked at my book bag, then smiled. "Clothes?" he asked.
"Um... yeah." I started to sweat.
"How many clothes are you washing?"
"Not that much," I said, looking away.
"So... you're going to run away, huh?" he said, smirking.
I looked at him. Oh, boy, I'm dead! The door opened, but I didn't move.
"Go," he said. I gave him a look. He spoke again. "Go! Don't worry, Delia, I'm on your side."
"You... you are?"
"You're a sweet girl... you don't need to be here."
"You won't tell?"
"Nope. Now go, before anyone finds you."
I nodded and walked out the door.
"Bye, Delia."
"Bye... Um..."
"It's Peter, and don't forget it," he said jokingly, then gave me a smile before going up.
I ran to the dryers... there were a lot of them! I've been here before, you see, but there were 10 rows of dryers and 10 rows of washers. How would I know which one was the last dryer? I went to the first row and moved in... Nope, nothing. Then I put it back. Now for the 2nd one... nothing. I moved that one back.
10 minutes later I reached the back ones. I FOUND IT! I pushed it over and slipped into the hole. Before I left, I tried to push the dryer back while I was still in the hole.
As I tried to move my body down, I found it very hard to do. After 20 minutes of going deep, I got tired and I felt like I was running out of breath. I was just about to give up when I heard a voice.
"Delia, my child, get back up and try with all your might to push deeper."
"Mom?"
"Try, Delia, try with all your might!"
"I... I can't!"
"Please, try!"
Rocks on the top fell on my head. Then I hit something metal. I pushed hard to open it. My breath... my last breath... and then I closed my eyes. The metal door opened, and I felt the cold air. The sun was coming out. Someone grabbed my hand and pulled me out. As I got out of the hole I saw who it was...
"Rocky?" I asked.
"Now get moving, kid, you have a long way to go," she said, letting go of my hand. I saw where we were. We were still by TR HQ, but the dryer door took me into the forest.
"Delia, you're free!"
I wanted to cry from the words I wanted to hear. "I'm... free?"
"Yes, you're free."
"You coming with me?" I asked.
"Nope, I can't. I need to tell your husband that I saw you headed that way, so that when you head for the woods, they won't look there."
"Thanks, you're the greatest! But how did you--"
We heard a lot of guards near us.
"Giovanni must have found out, D! Please, for the love of God, GO!" Rocky yelled.
I got up and ran deep into the forest. I ran for my life. I didn't stop until I got tired. Then I started to walk. I didn't hear anyone. No voices. I was tired. I wanted to go to sleep.
I walked for a very long time. I didn't know where I was going, but I knew I had to go far. My feet started to hurt, but I kept on going.
I saw a pokemon center. Thank god, I'm safe! I walked inside and saw Nurse Joy (Nurse Joy's mother).
"Hell--Oh, my, you look like a mess! You need some clothes or something?" she asked.
A mess? I turned and looked in a nearby window. I almost forgot that I was still dirty from the hole.
"Um... yes," I said, feeling as if I were a trouble to her.
"You new in this town?" she asked, giving me some cookies she had.
"Um... well, I guess I am... what town is this?"
"Viridian City."
"What? Did you say... Viridian City?"
"Um... yes, why?"
"Oh, nothing." Deep down in my heart, I knew that this was close to where my husband... ex-husband's gym was. He told me that he owned a gym and was a gym leader there.
"Is there another town close to here?" I asked, finishing the cookie.
"Pewter City is close. Just go north. That city has a gym up there too... well, if you're a trainer, that is."
"Oh... Well, what town is south?"
"Oh, that's a wonderful town! It's friendly and peaceful there!"
"Really?"
"Yes."
"What's it called?"
"Pallet."
