An: Please review! I wont put up the next chapter until I get some more reviews (yes I know I'm evil) I hope everyone enjoys this chapter.
Two days later and I was still stuck here. Jon hadn't returned yet, leaving me all alone.
Lillian was nice. She led me around the house, showing me everything and introducing me to everyone. She showed me every room, not knowing that I had spent a lot of my life in this house.
A lot of people lived here. I stayed away from them, ducking in to corners going in to rooms as they passed me. The only person I had really talked to was Lillian.
On the third day since Jon left, I decided that I wouldn't stay here any longer. I knew Lillian would never let me go if she knew so I never told her.
I had to leave. If I stayed much longer, Hattie could marry Char. I couldn't let that happen.
No one had ordered me to stay, and there was no one here that I had to stay with, so I began to plan my escape.
I would leave at night. I had stolen some food out of the pantry. I took a blanket and wrapped the food in it. It took some searching, but I found matches and a knife.
I wanted to take a horse, but it was too risky. Some one would watch the horses and I could be killed if I tried to run off with one of them.
I kept everything I needed hidden under a couple loose floorboards. I tried my hardest to make sure that Lillian or anyone else didn't find out.
I decided to take a nap. I would have to be up all night in order to get far enough away.
I laid my head against the pillow. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep, but sleep wouldn't come.
I walked to the window. I could see the sun slowly sink behind the mountains. I had a couple hours till sun would set and it would be dark.
I lay down on my bed again. I cuddled under the covers, the first real bed I had slept in an along time. I almost wanted to stay just so I could sleep in a real bed.
Nice and warm. That's how I was now. Nice and warm. I didn't want it to become cold and dark. I would have to go out and find Char.
Char. I thought about Char. Wonderful, sweet, charming, perfect, Char.
With Hattie. I balled my hands up in anger, scrunching up the sheets.
I covered my head with the pillow and fell asleep.
*~*~*~*~*
It was pitch black when I left.
I wish I could have brought a torch, but I would have been noticed.
It had taken a while to sneak out. Almost everyone was still awake, chatting and talking.
But I had done it. I slipped out in to the dark of the night, and now I couldn't even see the house anymore.
I heard some of the leaves crunch behind me. I stopped and pulled out my knife.
I stood there waiting. For that noise to happen again.
It didn't. It was completely silent, except for the sound of my breathing.
I walked on. Trudging through the forest, humming a tune that Mandy had taught me.
I heard a couple more leaves crunch behind me.
I felt a hand on my shoulder.
Gripping me. Keeping me from moving.
I pulled out my knife.
Please Review! I am really starting to wonder if anyone is reading my story!
