AN/ Sorry for the spelling mistake of Danielle's name in the first chapter! Here's the update! Enjoy! =D

"Gustov, that's ridiculous! She's always making threats like that. She never follows through with them." Danielle said.

"They said she was serious." Gustov persisted.

Danielle sighed and shook her head.

"Please, just tell Paulette, Louise, and Maurice what I said. And be prepared to run." Gustov's voice was serious.

"Thanks anyway. But I think it will be fine." Danielle said.

"Promise me."

"I promise. I will think about what you said." Danielle said.

"Thank you."

It was later in the afternoon that Danielle really thought about what Gustov had told her.

I'll see how The Baroness acts toward me. Danielle decided.

"Hello, Baroness, Marguerite, Jacqueline." Danielle said.

The Baroness looked her over with a critical eye.

"Umm hmm," she said hotly.

Marguerite rolled her eyes and Jacqueline just waved with three fingers.

"Would you like me to fluff your pillow?" Danielle pointed to the pillow The Baroness was leaning against.

"No, child. I can do that myself."

"Perhaps, you would like a glass of water to quench your thirst?" Danielle tried again.

"No."

"Oh. Marguerite? Jacqueline?"

They both shook their heads no.

"Well, alright." Danielle bustled into the kitchen to talk to Paulette, Louise, and Maurice.

When she had told them what Gustov had said, and about The Baroness's behavior, they looked aghast.

"Well, what can we do?" Paulette asked.

"We shall have to escape. Tonight." Danielle said.

"Oh. Danielle, we can't. We are to old for such things." Louise replied.

"We are a family and I will not see my family torn apart." Danielle said sternly.

"Danielle, run. We will not go. But you can." Paulette sighed.

"But, you must!" Danielle exclaimed.

"We must not." Maurice said.

"But…but…" Danielle sputtered.

"Go gather everything you can carry. You have a long way to go tonight." Paulette said.

"I can't go without you!"

"Yes, you can." Louise smiled.

"You will be shipped off to the Americas!" Danielle replied.

"Well, if we must. We must. We would slow you down." Maurice said.

"No! You won't."

"Danielle, you know we love you. And we want the best for you. You are young and can travel fast. It is for the best that you go alone." Paulette said.

"Go and pack your things." Louise ordered.

Danielle hugged them and went upstairs to pack for her adventure that night.
