Ch. 4
McFlare was standing in the exact corner her duffle was in ducking every time Ms. Harper moved to hit her. 'I wonder how I'm gonna get out of this.' thought McFlare as she dodged another slap from her caretaker, when all of a sudden she was painfully pinned to the wall. "Listen here you little brat. After I'm done with you up here I'm going to give you to my helpers." Ms. Harper said as she leaned in with a sickly grin and whispered something in her ear. McFlare paled as she heard that word, 'No, I will not let that happen.' she thought as of all the times she had been locked in that room and thought she was going to become a play toy, 'No, they will never touch me I would rather die than be touched by her goons.' as she thought this McFlare felt a surge of energy build inside her, as it built to the breaking point McFlare said "I will never let you or your goons touch me or hurt me anymore!" Her blue eyes blazing with defiance. "Listen here you brat, you will never find another place that will accept you. Never!" Ms. Harper said as she slapped McFlare across the face, which she soon regretted as a bunch of energy pushed the care taker all the way to the back wall and knocked her out cold.
Taking the chance McFlare grabbed her duffle and put the strap over her head so it would not be in her way and run out the door, down the stairs and out side the main door. "Yes, I'm free and there's no way they can make me go back no one." she said to herself not noticing a big burly man in the shadows. " I don't think Ms. Harper would like it if you were not in your quarters Ms. McFlare." said the man in a deep voice. Quickly turning around McFlare looked at the man in front of her and identifying him to be one of Ms. Harpers goons. "Well, I thought I would go for a walk and think up some good excuse to get the orphanage's named changed."said McFlare slowing backing up, "I guess I will have to escort you personally back inside." said the man with an evil smile. 'I don't think so.' thought McFlare. She ran as fast her legs could take her until she almost ran into a tree. "Come here girl and I'll take you back inside where it's safe." the man yelled as he walked slowly after her. McFlare heard his yell and was now franticly looking for a hiding spot, when she couldn't find one good enough she started to climb the tree until she reached a branch that supported her weight and sat there until the man was gone. While she was sitting in the tree McFlare found her owl. " Little one I need you to distract anyone that's heading towards the gate, so I can make my get away." stated McFlare as she glared at the gate, the owl hooted in agreement and flew off in search of Ms. Harper's goons.
McFlare watched her owl fly away as she climbed down the opposite side of the tree, when she reached the ground. She ran towards the front gate, sticking to the shadows to keep herself hidden. When all of a sudden she stopped, when she saw a another one of Ms. Harper's goons. 'Look's like little one forgot to distract him.' she thought with a smirk while looking for a rock to throw. When she found one big enough McFlare threw it far away from her hiding place. Watching the man leave she ran towards the gate, when she got there she calmly opened the gate, which unfortunately had a very loud high pitched squeak. 'Shit!' McFlare thought as she ran out down sidewalk when she heard the man that she distracted behind her.
McFlare had now ran down two blocks dodging in and out alley's just to lose the man behind her. She was just about to go into another alley when she bumped into someone. "Um…. sorry sir, but can you please help me? You see, one of my bitch of a caretaker's goons are after me and I really, really don't want to go back there." McFlare exclaimed with tears now rolling down her cheeks. Before the mysterious man could answer McFlare, the goon appeared, "I got you now brat! Now! come here so I can take you home." he demanded. McFlare who was now standing behind man, " I will never consider that place home! As far as I care it can be burned to the ground and you all can burn in hell!" She shouted at the goon. " Well, since now I don't have to go and get Miss McFlare, you can leave." the mysterious man said with a glare. The goon snarled and left with defeat, while McFlare had a smile on her face.
"Finally!" She said with a sigh, "Come on we need to make it to the hotel I'm currently staying before it lock's the doors for the night." said the mysterious man as he started to walk down the street. "Ok, but I have a question for you," he nodded his consent to the question, "Who are you ,were you actually sent to come and get me out of that hell hole and how did you know it was me?" asked McFlare as she moved her necklace from behind her shirt. The mysterious man gave a small laugh, "That's more like three but I'll answer them anyway." said the man, "I will be your self-defense professor, yes, I was sent to get you, and I guessed." he continued with a smirk as they continued down the street.
As they neared the hotel they were joined by a little brown owl that happened to land on McFlare's head. "Hello there little one." McFlare said smiling at the little owl, " Is that one of the hogwarts owls?" the man asked her. " Yes, it is but I don't think the headmaster would mind her being my owl, I call her little one." She replied to him. " We are close to the hotel so she's going to have to stay outside." said the man as he noticed her necklace, " I know that. That's why she's going to stay here." said McFlare as she watched the owl fly to a near by tree as they crossed the street and entered the hotel.
When they entered his room, it had been decided that McFlare got the bed and the man got the uncomfortable looking couch. "I have slept on more uncomfortable things than you know." the man said before McFlare could argue about it, and watched her go into the bedroom. When she was in the room McFlare put on a big shirt ;grabbed her LOTR book ;got into bed and started to read. It was close to midnight when she made it past moria and went to bed. The next day she was dressed and ready to go to the airport, as she waited for the man to finish packing. McFlare thought about her book, 'I think I figured out who that man is! What better way to teach self defense than a elf, and he could have used some type of glamour or concealment charm on the tips of his ears.' McFlare thought as she stared off into the distance. When the man entered the room he saw that McFlare was in major deep thought and that she was holding a Lord of the Rings book. " Miss McFlare it's time to go to the airport." when he said this McFlare was out of her trance. "Please call me Jessie or McFlare, and before we leave I want your name." she said with a sense of knowing. The man sighed and said "Alright Jessie, since you probably won't drop the name subject you can call me Greenwood." and left the room. When he said that, Jessie immediately flipped to the back of her book and left the room when she found out that Greenwood was Mirkwood's first name. When she got downstairs she saw that the man had flagged down a taxi, when she got outside he rushed her into the taxi and they left for the airport.
