*quietly steps into room* *everyone is gone* *dim lights* *janitor is sweeping floors*

FFN has been screwy lately and wont let me upload anything. So anyway. Without further veinerschitzel (heehee, that should be my new word....) we will continue with Jenny's story.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~CHAPTER FIFTEEN~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jenny quietly shut the locked bathroom door as she snuck into the darkened hall.
*It will buy me some time* she thought. She knew that, in a relatively short amount of time, Jordan would become suspicious and eventually break in. When he discovered the dead orc gaurd in the tub full of lukewarm water, the chase would be on. Meanwhile, she had to get as far away from the camp as she could.
She had not planned where she was going, nor what she would do when she got there, but at this point it didn't matter. She was determined to find help of some kind, no matter what. She fled blindly into the forest, reminding herself that the fate of Middle Earth was resting on her shoulders. Hours passed; her body screamed for rest and water. She could hardly get enough air into her lungs, and her muscles began to weaken for need of oxygen. Still, she continued on as fast as she could, though she was slowing down.
Finally, upon reaching a little clearing, she simply collapsed. Every muscle in her body was paralyzed with fatigue. She did not know how long she had been running, but for now it did not matter. She could not move another inch. Lost, exhausted, hot, sweaty, and thirsty, she did the only thing her body would permit her to. She fell asleep.
The smell of chemicals invaded Jenny's dreams and jerked her back to conciousness. She found herself lying on a cot in the middle of a laboratory.
"Oh, good! You're awake!" a small, older man hurried over to her side. "I was afraid you would be out for days! My, young people certainly are spirited. Would you like something to eat or drink, Jenny? You must be ravinous after running all the way here from the camp!"
Jenny nodded dumbly. The man scurried out of the room and returned in a few minutes with a plate of eggs, toast, a dish of fruit, and a glass of juice. When Jenny smelled the delicious food, she realized that in fact she WAS ravinous, and began eating immediately.
The old man chuckled. "You were lucky to have gotten this far, and to have stopped when you did. I wouldn't want to be caught alone in these woods come nightfall. You always have been quite athletic, Jenny."
"How do you know my name?"
The old man sighed and sat down heavily. "My name is Raymond. I'm a friend of your grandfather's, and Jordan is my son."
For a moment, Jenny panicked. *He'll take me back!!! I have to get out of here!!* she thought wildly. Raymond must have read her expression, because he immediately began to reassure her.
"I do not support my son in his actions, Jenny. I never even intended that he come with me here, but he insisted. It was the biggest mistake of my life to give in. Now-" his eyes grew misty, "I am no longer his father, but his slave."
