With the halogen light on her desk illuminating her pink stationary, Lily
writes individual letters to her family.
Dear Mom and Dad,
You will probably call my decision rash and immature, but I have decided to run away. I can't take being neglected anymore. I am not like martin. DO NOT call the police or try to find me. I love you guys and I am sorry.
Dear Bray,
You have been a great big brother. I have always enjoyed watching you play your games. you are destined for greatness. Oh and by the way Trudy really likes you so give her a chance. For me. I will love you always.
Dearest Martin,
You will be the only member of the family that I will stay I contact with. I will miss you terribly. I am sorry I didn't tell you, you have always been there for me. I will send you letters to Trudy and she will give them to you. I love you with all my heart.
Lily sealed the letters in envelopes and finished packing her bag.
" Lets see, I'll need my hairbrush, toothbrush, toothpaste, flashlight, clothes, blanket, no make that two blankets, shoes, socks, ummmmmm, oh and plenty of stationary, oh and my Beauty pageant tiara just for fun(A/N I Love tiaras!!!).
She then waited in her bed for the rest of the peope in her house to fall asleep, and when she heard her father start to snore she knew it was safe to come out.
She crept out of her room and went down the stairs careful to avoid the creaky bottom step. She carefully put the envelopes on the kitchen table, and opened the kitchen door.
Lily started to head toward the trail that would take her through the country and to the next city. She had enough money saved up from birthdays and almost no shopping because she just wore her school uniform.
Lily found the beginning for the trail and hiked down it for about a mile till she found the small, hidden cave that her and Martin found one summer. She laid her pack down and made a small fire outside the cave. She spread her blankets and went immediately went to sleep.
The next morning Lily woke up from the rays of sunlight on her face to find a man in the cave sleeping just a few feet from her. He was of a muscular build, tan with dreadlocks in his dark hair and he looked like he was Bray's age. " Oh my God!!!!, Oh shit, was he here last night??? Oh no. I wonder if I should wake him up??" She did by poking him with a long stick. " Who are you and why are you in my cave." Said Lily. The stranger retorted back" I didn't know it was YOUR cave" Lily shot back" I is because I am lily and that is my signature over your head." Sure enough there was her name along with Martin's. They did this when they found it last summer. " Who are you!!!!!" Shouted lily when the stranger was looking above his head. " My name is Pride" Said the stranger
