Chapter 3

Train ride to freedom

Amir sat up with a start, breathing heavy, her eyes were wide with fear. "Are you alright" her grandmother asked placing an aged hand on Amirs' shoulder.

"Yeah, yeah grandma I'm fine"

"If you're sure… oh it's five already, we have to hurry. Our train leaves in fifteen minutes. "

Amir and her grandma slid out of the now stopped cab and went to the boot to remove her luggage and place it on the dolly. Within moments they were seated inside a compartment at the back of the train.

"Mir, would you mind sharing a room with your aunt tonight?"

"Huh? I'm confused and that was really random Grandma"

"We haven't cleared out the attic for you yet. It shouldn't take long but it would still need to be cleaned tomorrow. Would you mind sharing a room with your aunt tonight?"

" Of course not, it would be fun…right Auntie Saundra?"

"Oh, yes, we girls will have a little party" Auntie stuttered out.

Mir laughed "So my room is in the attic this time"

"We decided you would need a bigger room and your aunt did take your old one"

"Perfect… I can keep up with my new hobby!"

The compartment exploded in laughter. Amirs was broken by a yawn. 'Stupid jet lag' she thought to herself. She turned so she was facing the window and let her mind wander as she stared idly at the world streaming past the rocking train. Within a few moments she was again dosing. The three adults quieted whispering

" She must be exhausted poor dear" Aunt Saundra breathed in a loving manner

"Well she did travel over the ocean"

"I know mom"

"Sandra, why did Marvalena call you ?"

"She wanted me ... and you two ... to come stay with her for a few years. She said her house is too big for one or even two people and that she needed us"

Grandpa Vic glanced at Amir, before glancing over at his wife and opening his mouth to speak... unfortunately for him his wife beat him to it.

"You're not thinking for going... are you dear?" Ellen asked threateningly. She continues
"Because we are Not going to leave our granddaughter in that house all alone." There was a note of finality in her voice that Grandpa chose to ignore.

" Our granddaughter is not a child anymore Elinor. She's seventeen, practically eighteen, we lived on our own at that age, as did our children. If they can do it so can she" Steadily climbing higher his rant ended just below a shout.

"You listen here Victor Kamen" his wife whispered icily"I am not going to leave her in a strange country, in a small town, by herself for however many years Marvalena will keep us, with no more company than an old black dog and an onry cat!"

Grandpa knew he wouldn't win, not as things stood, but he also knew his granddaughter and his wife, if he had to make a few compromises to get Ami her freedom he would.

"alright, alright, but what if we..." He was interpreted before he could even begin his argument.

"No!" Ellen bit out.

" Just listen to me women. We'll get her a year rail pass, and will ask some of the neighbors to check up on her. Leia and her son would both love to and you know Franklin would be honored that we asked him. And its not as if we would leave her without funds. We'll give her the key and numbers to our account and shell be just fine."

Slightly placated Grandma started to add conditions.

"Once a week... they'll check up on her once a week. We don't want to smother her but I won't have her alone for more than that."

"She did make some friends the last time she was here" Grandpa was grasping at straws.

" She does seem to make friends quickly, doesn't she?" Grandpa took this and ran with it.

"She might want to spend the night with some friends and we can't lock her up at all times, so how about if she leaves a note..."

"A note? What... she could..." Grandma was so outraged that she couldn't finish her sentence

"Yes a note, she'll sign and date them. how about that."

" The bills, did you forget or were you going to have her do them?"

" She has access to our account so she could do them if she wanted to, give her a taste of the real world." Grandpa quickly amended himself at his wifes stern gaze "Or she could just mail them to us and we can do them" Gutsy but not stupid Vic knew when he couldn't win.

" Very well that sounds like a acceptable agreements. As long as Ami is fine with it"

" Thats fine with me, now have you finished babying the girl, we need to discuss what we're bringing to Marvalenas"

Aunt Saundra spoke up "I think she is dad. But want are we going to tell Ami? We cant just say, we love you, we missed you, goodbye"
" Well we'll just have to tell her the truth. Aunt Marvalena wants us to stay with her. Shes being left in charge of the house and animals and someone will come to check up on her."

" Doesn't that sound just a little bit cold, Dad?"

" Well it would if she hadn't been awake for the whole conversation" He looked pointedly at the 'sleeping' figure in the corner. Amir arose and smiled sheepishly.

" Okay Grandpa Vic, you caught me, and I don't mind staying at the house. You live in a small enough town that it being strange to me wont matter much, even if I hadn't been there before. And if I get a pail pass I can go into London, that should keep me occupied. I'll be perfectly fine"at her grandmothers skeptical look she continues" Seriously, the animals and I will be fine, and if I need you I can just call" Her grandmother relented, she was obviously hoping that her granddaughter would be uncomfortable with the idea of staying alone

"All right, if you promise to check up with us, than I guess I won't call Leia or Franklin, but it had better be a regular correspondence"

" Of course Grandma I'll call or write you every other week"

The discussion finally closed, all members pacified by the agreement.Her grandfather broke the silence

"How about a game of chess?"

After many games, in which Amir had her ass handed to her by her grandfather, they arrived at the station.

" Ah! How is it that you can beat me every time? I should have won at least one game by fluke!"

" You need to work on your strategy." Was the calm response.

" You two can argue later, we need to get home so we can pack, and unpack."

They grabbed Amirs things and drove home. Grandpa gloating all the way. Ten minutes later they pulled into the drive.
