I Hate This Place!
A few months pass and I am ready to commit murder. I hate this wicked place! 'Mistress Ivory' (Ugh) will beat us with a 2 by 4 every single time Eltana or I come short, overdo, or do anything that isn't exactly what she said for. she is going to beat us to death! Luckily, Eltana and I have some free time when Mistress Ivory is eating. It's kind of like short lunch breaks. I have to carry around a walky-talky, so she can keep in touch when I'm not in the same room as her or in my own room. She has a special buzzer in the small room Eltana and I stay in, so we can have our wake up call.
With Eltana only being nine, and still clumsy, she makes the most mistakes. Much more of the beating we get and she'll be dead within a week! So, I come up with a risky plan.
"So, when we play outside on our break for lunch I'll tell 'Mistress Ivory' that we are going to play hide and seek in the forest. Then I'll take you to that town nearby, find you a good home. A home that will love you like I have, then...I'll have to leave you." I pause, looking down, trying not to cry.
"N-no...Y-you said that you would be with me for as long as you could." Eltana whispers, almost crying herself.
"If you stay here, then you'll die. If I find you a new home, without me, I'll still be looking after you. You deserve a better life than this. I don't want you to go through we already have anymore. I don't to watch you be killed. I promise I'll see you again someday. I know I will." I fight back, a few renegade tears slipping down my flushed cheeks. We cry silently together for a little while. "Let's make this the best last day together as we can." I break the silence carefully, then look at our clock. 7:30 AM. "Time to prepare the Witch's breakfast." I mutter, standing up and walk to the door.
Our lunch break seems to come much too soon, but we trudge to the forest anyway. I kick my plan into action, easily convincing the Witch what we are going to "play". Once outside, I pick up Eltana and run to the town at lightning speed. We don't have much time to do this. I easily find a kind family to take Eltana in, once I explain our back stories quickly. We cry our goodbyes acting as though it will be our last chance to say it. I bolt back to my living nightmare of a "home". I run into the yard crying and yelling.
"MISTRESS IVORY! MISTRESS IVORY!" I yell as loud as I can. She glides out the door, face grim.
"What is it now? I busy!" She growls.
"It's Eltana." I begin.
"Who?"
"Eltana, my helper. We were playing hide and seek, and while I was searching for her, I heard her scream. When I got to her...a...a...bear had already killed her! There's nothing left, but some blood." I lie expertly.
"Oh, dear, that's not good for my business. Having a bear attack will scare people away from my hotel! We can't have that. You take the rest of the day off, and call Animal Control. You'll be showing where the bear was last seen, so they can dispose of it." She rattles off her momentary to do list with zero sympathy.
"But killing the bear is wrong! It's just an animal who's probably hungry from this past cruel winter. Animals do that to survive! We can't just kill them for trying to live!"
"Well, I don't care! That bear will be dead once the Animal Control people are called and get here. There's nothing you can do about it. If you interfere, then you'll be in for the worst punishment I've given you yet! NOW CALL THE DARN ANIMAL CONRTOL!" She screams, threatening me greatly.
"Y-yes ma'am..." I, sadly, reply, and call Animal Control.
Okay. DRAMA! Anyway. Hope you liked this chapter. Get ready to read the next one! It'll be coming out soon! (Okay. That sounded like a commercial! XD!)
