Chapter 2

I got up in the middle of the night to take a detour to the kitchen. I was super thirsty and well, I like the house at night. It seemed so much more peaceful and quiet. I got into the kitchen and I saw this light, it seemed like it was coming from the Library. I walked out of the kitchen down a little hallway and as I creeped along to the edge of the doorway. I could hear whispers...talking very excitingly.

"We can not marry her off like that!" Said a female voice. It sounded like my maid.

"Oh get off it Patty! You know she is 18 and will bring another strong family for us. You know she would make a good mother!" Said a male voice this time. I knew it was my Uncle. That same raspy voice. I was a little stunned at the thought of being a mother. I have heard of many dieing in childbirth, and at this I could feel a chill running down my spine. There is no way i want this fate for me, no way. My eyes widend as i heard my Uncle say, "We need to marry her off before she actually falls in love with that brat, whatsitsname...Tom?"

I was irritated about this....I mean...IM NOT IN LOVE WITH HIM! I mean LOVE is such a strong word....my thoughts where the cut off again..

"Jim that is so selfish of you! Just because he is interested in fulfilling Nyssa's dreams does not mean that no good will become of our Nyssa!" said Patty.

"Patty that is enough, you make me sound like a monster! Sure I care about her, but she will bring us wealth! I have some many plans for her." That was all I heard from my Uncle when my glass slipped from my hands. I gasped wide eyed as the shattering glass sounded through the hallway like a hurricane in the darkness. I paniced. All i could think of was bolting through the front door, besides that was the closest thing to me right now. I knew I could not make it upstairs and they were already rushing to the doorway. If my Uncle knew I heard what they were talking about, I would be a dead women. Besides I have some things I could accomplish!

So i ran out of the front door, into the cold wet streets of my town. I watched as practically all the lights went on in the house, and I knew there was no turning back. Not know...not ever. Maybe the sea was for me, but I know for now I have to find shelter. I came across a really dark and forbidding alley. It freaked me out and besides I was not going near it because I could have sworn I heard a scraping sound. It was so quick, my decision, that I felt dissy. But there has to me something better than being married to some freak guy and have a ton of kids then die? No my Uncle was going to pay for this. Then an idea struck me...Tim..maybe I could get him to come with me. I have to do it quickly. My Uncle is surely not that stupid as to not look there.

ARR REVIEW!
