A/N: Hey everyone, thank you so much for all your wonderful reviews for the last chapter. Thank you to those who went to my profile and private messaged me their opinions on the future fics and 'Angel Of Neglect' is currently in first place. I got a lot of random questions that I thought could and should be answered here. Ok so here are the questions and answers:
Silvan Arrows Question: When are you gonna reveal Serenity's plan to escape?
Answer: You find out Serenity's plan to escape when she actually tries to escape and not a minute before. They would probably escape somewhere at the end of this chapter or in the next.
Amy's Question: But exactly what do you feel when Luna goes inside of you physical pain or emotional pain?
Answer: This is actually a good question. It usually depends on what you are hiding and what is trying to be found. You can sometimes feel both or you could just feel one of them. In Bryan's case he was trying to hide both types of pain so he felt both types of pain. The physical pain would be all the abuse he felt and hid over his years at the abbey and the emotional pain would be not being loved and cared for and the way he was treated over the years. I hope this helped, ask again if you need more explanation.
Ok here is the chapter and I hope you enjoy it.
P.S In this chapter I skip the crap, like if you just noticed what it says just under chapter 9, it says 'after training' cause in this case I skipped it cause it wasn't too important.
Chapter 9
---Next Day After Training---
All the bladers started walking through the dark halls to their room. Serenity was the first to go change, Tala sat on the window sill and Bryan lay on his bed just staring at the ceiling. There was a hard knock on the bedroom door and Bryan got up and opened it. "What do you want?" Bryan asked coldly.
"Boris would like to see you in his office now" The guard replied monotonously before leaving.
"What happened? What did the guard want?" Serenity asked, walking from the bathroom door to Bryan.
"Boris wants to see me, I'll try to be back soon" Bryan said before walking out into the hall.
Serenity sighed and closed the door behind him. She sat down on her bed before sighing again and flopping back lazily and in much frustration. "I will never understand him; I mean one day he can talk about his feelings but the next he can't? –It's crazy" she said.
"Maybe it isn't so crazy" Tala mused, "Bryan is confused, he is trying to decide between what he has been taught for so many years and what you are trying to teach him. You can't expect him to trust you so soon, he needs some time" he explained.
"I think you're right" Serenity whispered. "Though I wish that he would loosen up a little around us" she said.
"He needs time, if I were in his position I know that I would need time to trust others" Tala said getting off the window and sitting next to Serenity's resting form.
"I know and I'm the same way but…I'm afraid that because he keeps everything inside that he will lose too much of himself and it will taken even longer time for him to trust us" Serenity said, voicing her concerns as she sat up.
"I have to disagree with that, if you're right, by him keeping it all inside then he will eventually break down, when he does we will be all he would have to help and once he sees that we mean no harm to him then he'll trust us a lot more" Tala said, placing his arm around Serenity's waist and letting her rest her head on his shoulder.
"But I don't want him to break down, it hurts too much especially with all that he holds inside" Serenity said, closing her light blue eyes.
"I know but he'll need someone's help and we can both help him" Tala said, tightening his grip around her. "We didn't become like him because we had each other over the years, but he had no one. So now we have to help him but he has to let us help him and he has to help himself too." He said.
Tala looked down at Serenity to see her smiling, "Look at you, speaking words of wisdom" she said, laughing.
Tala smiled and laughed a little too, "What, you think you're the only person who can speak some sort of wisdom?" he asked.
"No, it's not that. I just didn't think I'd ever hear you speaking so much sense" Serenity replied, still smiling.
"I'll save that argument for another time. I'm going to change" Tala replied, loosening his hold on her and walking to the bathroom to change for dinner.
Serenity lay on the bed again, still with the smile tugging at her lips. Though her smile quickly faded when she remembered that Bryan was still with Boris and the thought of what could be happening scared the hell out of her. She closed her eyes to rest and avoided any thought of Bryan at the time. She heard the door opening and quickly opened her eyes and shot up to see who it was but saw that it was only Tala. She slowly got off the bed and hugged him tightly when he walked closer to her, "I was thinking that maybe…we should try to leave as soon as possible. What do you think?" she asked softly.
"I think…that it's a good idea" Tala replied, embracing the hug and lacing his fingers through her soft hair.
"Thanks" Serenity whispered back softly, resting her head on his shoulder. "9:00pm and Bryan isn't back yet, I guess we have to go to dinner without him." She muttered, looking up at the clock across from her.
Tala rolled his eyes and moved her away from him a little, smiling a lot when he looked into her worried eyes, "Stop worrying, he'll be fine" he told her before kissing her softly.
"I hope you are right" Serenity muttered, walking out the door.
The couple walked into the dining room and sat down in their usual places. Tala just rested back in his seat with his eyes closed while Serenity was the opposite, her eyes were open and looking around in case Bryan walked in or in case she noticed anymore kids being called away or kids missing from their places in the dining room. Going on with Serenity's train of fear, no one came or left the dining room until dinner was all over. Both Serenity and Tala started walking back to their bedroom again, Tala wouldn't admit it to Serenity but he felt that something was terribly wrong at the time. He had felt that way all week but he couldn't really tell what it was that was bothering him, he wasn't sure what it was that he was feeling.
They walked into their bedroom and Serenity closed the bedroom door quietly behind her after seeing an already sleeping Bryan in bed. "I told you he was alright" Tala whispered to Serenity before lying in his own bed. Serenity knelt down beside Bryan's bed, still feeling to her that something was wrong but at the time nothing seemed wrong to her. She sighed in defeat and got of the ground after pulling the covers tighter around him. She walked back to her own bed and lay under the covers trying to keep herself warm. Tala smiled and leaned over her to look at her face, "Can't admit I was right can you?" he asked.
Serenity sighed again in aggravation, the one thing she hated the most was admitting to anyone but herself and Luna that she was wrong, but in this case, she knew that Tala wouldn't leave her alone whether she admitted it or not. "You're right then, are you happy now?" she asked.
"Quite" Tala replied. Kissing her on the cheek quickly, he got under the covers and pulled Serenity close to him. He noticed Serenity's slightly serious look and sat up a little on his side and looked at her, "You mad?" he asked.
Serenity smiled and turned on her back, "No I'm not mad, I'm not that childish" she said.
"Really? - Personally I thought that you are very childish" Tala replied jokingly.
"Shut up" Serenity whispered, playfully punching him in the shoulder. Tala continued smiling but just lay back in bed and held Serenity close to him and tried to sleep, as did Serenity. They both slept peacefully, not having too much of a choice since training was exhausting that day and neither of them had any reason to avoid it, so they just let sleep overcome them.
---Next Day During Training- An hour before Dinner---
For the past few days every one had been made to train by themselves and while Serenity was in a corner of the room training alone she hadn't noticed a fight break out between Tala and one of the guards. Serenity turned round when she heard something being slammed against the stone wall and couldn't do more then just watch. Tala had been pinned against the wall and had just gotten punched in the face. Serenity gasped and fear clutched tightly at her aching heart, she couldn't move, she couldn't speak and she couldn't even think. All she could even feel was the fear for Tala. Pain and fear struck her again like a lightning bolt when Tala got punched a couple of times in the stomach and fell onto the floor with a sickening thud and being kicked in the side by the guard. Pushing himself onto his hands and knees, he started to gasp for air. Serenity pulled herself to the surface and ran over to him, sitting next to him and pulling him up a little to sit up. She glared coldly at the guard and slowly loosened her hold on Tala and quickly pulled her beyblade and launcher of their holder.
Pulling furiously on the rip cord, she launched Luna at the guard but just missed the guard's head by a couple of centimeters. "Cant you go through one day without picking on someone?" Serenity asked crossly, not moving from her place next to Tala.
The guard just continued glaring downwards at Serenity, "Don't you think you care a little too much for these pathetic children when you are above them?" he asked coldly.
"Pathetic?" Serenity asked, beyond furiously, a fire of anger appearing in her once blue eyes. She stood up in front of the fallen Tala and rage rushed through her, "You're calling them pathetic? – How dare you even try calling them that, each of them have survived this pointless training day in and day out, they have survived countless beatings and all of them are still here standing in front of you, and you're here calling them pathetic?" She yelled, heatedly, the fire of anger filling her eyes and voice. "And on another note, I am not above them and I have absolutely no intentions of trying to be better then them" she said finally. She continued glaring at the guard and saw the faint look of fear in his eyes but didn't lose her hardened look, seeing as the guard wasn't going to say anything else at the time she decided to make her last move, "You can all leave" she told the other trainees, her voice softening a little on the younger children.
The other bladers didn't move, afraid as to what the guard would say, Serenity looked around her and finally noticed the scared look on all their faces, "Don't worry, you can leave" she said, her voice softening a little but still holding its firmness. All the bladers left the room, including Bryan but Tala stayed behind, still gasping for air. Serenity turned back to the guard and glared coldly, "Don't you dare lay a hand on them or I'll kill you, now leave" she ordered.
The guard hesitated at first into obeying her order but then left. Serenity sighed again in frustration and her eyes softened greatly, she turned back to Tala and helped him to his feet. She took his hand and held onto him tightly but he just dubbed over in pain and she stopped and looked at him. Seeing that he was in pain Serenity didn't try to move him at the time, "You ok?" Serenity whispered worriedly.
"I'm fine" Tala replied, straightening up a little.
Serenity helped him up to their bedroom, stopping from time to time for Tala to rest a little. They made it up to their room and Tala lay back on his bed and groaned in pain. Bryan had been lying lazily on his bed as usual, "Could you get the first aid kit please" Serenity called to him, sighing he got up and went to the bathroom to get a first aid kit. Meanwhile Serenity slowly opened Tala's jump suite jacket and lifted the black top that was underneath, revealing a large bruise that covered most of his stomach and little trickles of blood seeped out of little cuts that were spread out on the bruised skin.
Serenity ran her finger along the bruised skin, making Tala wince in pain when Serenity's cold finger touched the little cuts. Bryan came back with the first aid kit and tossed it onto the bed next to Serenity. She opened the first aid kit quickly and took out a small piece of soft cloth, she then took out a small white jar of cream and dipped the cloth on the surface of it and then dapped it onto the little cuts. Tala occasionally lifted his head a little to see Serenity tending to the cuts, he watched as she got up and walked to the bathroom, taking a piece of dry clean cloth with her. She soaked it in cold water and squeezed some of the water out of it, walking back to Tala and placing it on the bruise to reduce the swelling. "How does that feel?" she asked softly.
"Hurts" Tala whispered between ragged gasps.
"Sorry" Serenity whispered back, gently pulling the cloth away. She removed the cloth and the first aid kit and put them back into the bathroom. She came back to him and looked down at Tala, worry evident in her eyes. She pushed a strand of red hair away from his face and kissed him on the forehead. Pulling away from him a little she stayed close to him, the tip of her nose touching his and she kissed him on the lips. "We're leaving tonight" she whispered.
Tala just nodded and sat up a little in his bed; "We're leaving" he called out to Bryan. Bryan looked up at him quickly and nodded.
---In Jeremy's Room---
Jeremy lay on his bed quietly, staring at the ceiling since he was trying to get some rest before dinner. A puddle of water seeped from under the bathroom door and Jeremy and Mike sat up to look at it. Luna materialized through the water, "Who are you?" Jeremy asked.
Luna narrowed her eyes, "I've been beating around that piece of metal you call a beyblade for the past six years and now you're insulting me by not knowing who I am?- Men" Luna said.
"Luna?" Jeremy asked, getting off the bed.
"The one and only" Luna replied.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Serenity?" Mike asked, getting of his own bed and standing next to Jeremy.
"My Mistress sent me to tell you that she plans to escape tonight and we are going to try our hardest to get you all out of here quickly without blood being spilt but we need your help" Luna replied.
"What do you need?" Jeremy asked.
"We just need you to keep safe, if Boris asks where any of us are just don't tell him" Luna said, "You wont have to hold him off for very long, she says that it would be about a week before you are all out" she continued.
"Boris won't find out about this, we promise" Mike said, dumbfounded at the idea that they could be free in about a week.
"Thank you" Luna said, bowing her head a little.
"But where would we even go?" Jeremy asked.
Luna smiled sweetly, "That is the least of our worries, you see my Mistress has a friend who is almost like a father to her and he can easily find you all a place to stay" she explained.
"Really? She can do that?" Mike asked.
Luna just nodded in reply and then looked at the ceiling, "My Mistress is calling me, I must leave but till we meet again please try to keep safe" Luna said, before disappearing in fire.
Luna appeared behind Serenity, "Ok so I take it that we can leave," Serenity said.
"So what is this plan of yours that will get us out of here?" Bryan asked, standing in front of Serenity.
"Well faze one is quite easy" Serenity said, she jumped up onto the window sill and signaled Bryan and Tala to follow her. Bryan jumped onto the window sill easily but Tala had some trouble because the bruise still hurt but he managed to get up anyway. Serenity pointed out the window, "You see that fence over there?" she asked, earning two nods from her roommates. "This side of the fence doesn't have any guards what so ever, so it is clear sailing, there is a small emergency hatch in the metal gate that guards would use in case of a fire or something and so we can leave through that" she explained.
"How will we get down there?" Tala asked.
Serenity grinned rather evilly, "I got that planned too" she said. "Luna a little help please" she called. Luna smiled back with that same devilish grin and entered her blade again. Serenity pushed Bryan and Tala off the window sill and she stood on the bed, readying her launcher. Bryan and Tala thought she would try to crash her blade through the window but instead she just dropped her blade on the window sill, and let it spin there before letting a thin layer of ice freeze over the window. Serenity smiled and looked back at them and signaled them to follow her onto the window sill again, she tapped her finger onto the glass and instantly broke in front of them. Then she looked as far down as her eyes would let her in the dark, "That is how we are getting down" she said.
Tala looked down and his eyes widened when he realized how far down that was, "We can't jump" he said.
"For once I'll agree with him" Bryan said.
"Oh come on you two, show a little spine and lets see what you're made of" Serenity said, much more encouragingly.
"Everyone will see what I'm made of if I jump" Tala complained.
"Just make sure to jump outwards because of the glass on the ground and you'll be fine" Serenity advised.
"There is no chance in hell that I'm going to jump" Tala said, shaking his head.
"You have a choice, you can either jump by yourself or I can throw you out, it is your choice" Serenity said.
"Fine, I'll go by myself" Tala muttered, sighing or rather taking a deep breath for the fall he jumped out the window quickly.
Serenity looked out behind him; she wanted to call to him to see if he landed ok but knew that she would just end up alerting guards. "Your turn" she said, turning to Bryan. He sighed but jumped out the window willingly since he knew that if Serenity said she would push him out then there would be a very good chance that she would do it and really toss him out of the window without a second thought.
Serenity watched him down and then picked up her back pack, she tossed it out the window and picked up Luna and put her in her pocket. She quickly jumped out the window and landed on the ground on her hands and knees. "Are you ok?" She heard Tala ask.
Serenity pushed herself slowly off the cold snow but the pain in her leg stopped her for a second. A small gash was on her knee and she looked down at it, realizing that she had fallen on a few glass shards. She sighed and picked up her back pack, brushing off the cold snow before it soaked all her things in it. "Let's go" she said, running to the fence on the other side of the yard while the other two bladers followed behind her. Serenity felt around on the fence and then crouched down onto the ground, she wiped off some snow and to see a red line running across the metal bars. She pushed against the metal bar with the line on it and the hatch opened, Serenity pushed herself underneath it and Tala came next and then Bryan.
They ran quickly down a few blocks and stopped when they thought they were far enough from the abbey. "So where next?" Bryan asked, panting as he leaned against a wall.
"The nearest airport" Serenity replied simply, breathing heavily as they all were.
"Where is that?" Tala asked, leaning against the wall for support, his hand placed on his bruised stomach since his slow breathing came out in gasps and hurt a lot with the bruised skin.
"I guess we're going to have to find out" Serenity replied, limping a little to the end of the deserted street. She saw a young woman on the other side of the street that was opening the door to her house. Serenity ran up to her before the woman went into the house, "Excuse me? – Could you tell me where the nearest airport is?" she asked.
The woman turned to Serenity and looked down at the young girl, "Not far from here, do you need to go somewhere?" she asked kindly.
"Erm…yes actually, my friends and I need to go to Japan and we don't quite know where the airport is, do you think you could give us directions?" Serenity asked, trying to soften her eyes as much as she could to even get some sympathy from the woman.
"I have a map if you would like that" The woman replied. "I can get it for you if you like, just give me a second" the woman said, before quickly retreating into the house and coming back with a folded up paper. "Here, I hope this helps" The woman said, handing Serenity the map.
"It helps a lot, thank you" Serenity said, smiling as she walked back to Tala and Bryan and the woman finally closed the door.
"You certainly know how to play the innocent beggar girl role" Tala said, seeing Serenity's hardening a little more after she toned them down for the woman to see her innocence.
"How do you think I used to get out of training?" Serenity asked, opening the map and walking down a road with the others behind her.
"That's cold" Tala said, smirking.
---At The Airport---
"Ok we're here now what do we do?" Tala asked, looking around the dark airport.
"Now I need to make a phone call but I need money" Serenity said.
"And where on this planet do you want to get money from? We have nothing at all with us" Tala said, complaining like he had been for the past hour during the walk.
"I'm not like you sweetie, I come prepared" Serenity said, smiling as she looked around for something. After spotting what she needed to find, she walked over to a machine, she opened her back pack and took out her phoenix shaped necklace and looked at the back of it. A few numbers were etched onto the metal of the phoenix pendant and she entered the number into the computer of the machine and in little time money fell out of a slot and Serenity took it and looked through it. "What were you saying?" she asked Tala, smirking and holding back a laugh. "Now we call for help" she said.
She walked over to a pay phone and put some money in before dialing a number, keeping her fingers crossed as she hoped that Mike would answer his phone quickly since she wanted to hurry up and get out of Russia as quickly as she could. A man with a deep voice picked up the phone, "Hello?" he asked.
"Hey, Mike?" Serenity asked, a smile tugging at her lips with absolute joy.
"Serenity?" Mike asked. "Serenity is that you?" he asked again.
"Yeah, it's me." Serenity said simply.
"Damn it Serenity where have you been all these years?" Mike asked.
"That is the problem and the reason why I'm calling, I need you to listen and I need you to listen well." Serenity said, her voice being much sterner. She started to explain everything she knew about the abbey and about all the kids there. She explained about how she, Tala and Bryan had managed to escape and told him that she needed the C.I.A to stop Boris and to help free the kids quickly.
"Any idea who put you in the abbey?" Mike asked, speaking for the first time since Serenity started explaining.
"Remember Lucia?" Serenity asked.
"The housekeeper?" Mike asked confusedly.
"Yeah, she is the one that got me signed into the abbey, I'm sure of it" Serenity said.
"Ok I'll see what I can do, I'll get you on the first flight to Japan and in the meantime I can work out some things at the office to be able to look around this abbey you've been in" Mike replied.
"Thanks" Serenity said, "We'll go to the apartment after the airport" she told him.
"And I'll see you there to tell you what will be going on, in the meantime just relax and I'll book a flight for you and your friends to get here soon" Mike said.
"Thanks again Mike but please hurry" Serenity said, her voice shaking a little.
"You sound like you're panicking, is something wrong?" Mike asked.
"At the moment so many things are wrong, the kids still in the abbey could get hurt, Boris could come after us and I might be pregnant" Serenity said.
"Pregnant?" Mike asked sternly.
"Yeah and don't start yelling or anything, I wasn't around you long enough for you to teach me about safe sex" Serenity said before Mike could say anything else.
"Whatever we'll talk about this later but for now just relax and wait till I get you a flight" Mike said, surprisingly calm.
"Ok, bye" Serenity said, before putting the phone back onto the receiver.
"Now what do we do?" Tala asked, "We're meant to just sit and wait?" he asked.
"Not really, we should go get something to eat, I'm getting a little hungry" Serenity said. They all walked to the food court and ordered something to eat which was a relief for all of them since none of them had eaten that night and Bryan hadn't eaten in the last two days but had refused to eat anything when Serenity offered though she still made him eat. "I was just thinking…" Tala started.
"Will wonders ever cease" Serenity muttered, before she continued eating.
Tala glared a little, "Anyway…don't we need passports or something, I don't know how much they're going to let us get to Japan without a passport" he said.
"I have that covered too," Serenity said, pulling her backpack onto her lap and looking through the bag. She pulled out three small booklets that were covered in brown leather and she looked through them quickly and handed them out.
"Where the hell did you get these?" Bryan asked, looking down at his passport.
"Boris has a passport for all the older kids in the abbey, in case they have to travel for tournaments then he needs to get them a passport. I just happened to come across the safe they were kept in and found ours easily" Serenity explained as she placed her bag back onto the floor and continued eating her fries.
"How the hell do you do it?" Tala asked smiling, pocketing his passport.
Serenity just shrugged and looked up when a young woman walked over to them. "Are you Serenity?" The young hostess asked.
"Who wants to know?" Serenity asked, standing up.
"A man named Mike called and has booked three tickets for Japan, your plane leaves in an hour but until then he suggested in putting you into the VIP area" The woman told her.
"Erm…thanks" Serenity said, picking up her bag and swinging it over her shoulder and following the woman.
They walked into a large lounge and looked around in amazement at the elegance of the large room, "You may rest and I will be sure to wake you in time for your flight" the woman said politely, "Help yourself to any food and just relax" she said.
They all nodded and they sat down on a couch and the woman walked over to her desk by the door, Serenity continued looking around, still feeling very nervous since she wasn't sure if Boris had found out that they had escaped and thought that maybe he could have followed her. "Would you just relax" Tala told Serenity pulling his arm around her.
Serenity gritted her teeth but avoided his eyes, "I'll relax when everyone would stop telling me to relax" Serenity whispered angrily.
They all sat there quietly and just waited to be called away for their flight.
---An Hour and A Half Later---
All three bladers were seated in the plane, Serenity sat next to Tala who sat by the window and Bryan sat opposite them. Tala and Serenity had been asleep and Serenity rested her head against Tala's shoulder and Bryan just stared out the window with his arms crossed. Serenity slowly stirred and looked out the window at the view of Japan. She then looked at Bryan and saw him still awake, "Aren't you tired?" she whispered to him.
"Not really" Bryan replied, still staring out the window where the sky was different shades of reds and oranges.
Serenity was about to speak again but a woman came up to her, "Excuse me miss, you have a very important phone call in the back" she told her.
Serenity got up and followed the woman to the back room and the woman left Serenity with the phone and Serenity closed the curtain fro privacy. "Hello?" she asked.
"Hey Serenity, listen I managed to work things out in the main office and we should be able to search the abbey but if we don't find anything at the time then we are going to need something to get us the warrant to search the place," Mike explained.
"We aren't a good reason to get it done?" Serenity asked in frustration.
"Actually you are a good reason, you said that you were being beaten and abused there so when you arrive at the apartment I'm going to have to get doctors to check on wounds. A doctor will be there and he'll have to take in account all the wounds and scars since they could help to get the warrant" Mike continued explaining.
Serenity sighed, "Well ok then, the plane should be landing soon so it shouldn't take too long to get to the apartment" she said. "Do you think you could include a pregnancy test, just in case?" she asked.
"Don't worry, I'll have it arranged" Mike said. "I'll see you later then, bye" he said.
"Bye" Serenity said finally, putting the phone down and walking back to her seat.
She sat back down in her seat and took Tala's hand; he had just woken up and looked at Serenity when she laced their fingers together. "What's wrong?" he asked her.
Serenity sighed again in aggravation and rested her head on his shoulder again, "Mike said that doctors will be at the apartment to check us out and I'm just afraid as to what is going to happen and what they're going to say about me" she said.
Bryan looked rather uncomfortable at the thought of the doctors but no one had seemed to notice. "It doesn't matter, you'll be fine. We got this far without you getting scared now don't let this get in the way" Tala told her, pulling an arm around her holding onto her supportively.
"I hope you're right" Serenity whispered.
Tala looked down at her when she said that and saw by the look on her face that she was scared, "You're not going to cry are you?" he asked softly.
Serenity smiled a little, "No I'm not going to cry" she whispered.
"Good, I was scared you were going to cry" Tala said, laughing.
"Shut up" Serenity said, pounding her fist playfully on his stomach but wasn't a good idea because of the bruise that was still there. "Sorry" she said, laughing at Tala's pain.
---In the Street, An Hour Later---
Serenity led Tala and Bryan through her old neighborhood to find her old apartment. They walked a couple of blocks and they came to a small building and metal stairs went up a little to a door and Serenity walked up the unsteady stairs until she heard someone call her name. She looked over the railings and saw a man with sandy blonde air staring up at her; she smiled and jumped over the railings and down to the ground. "Jake" she said, hugging him as she always knocked him over.
Tala looked on as Serenity hugged the older boy, feeling a pang of jealousy nag at him for a second. Serenity stepped away from Jake, still smiling, "Where have you been?" Jake asked.
"It's a long story" Serenity replied, "But I just got back from a place very far away" she said.
"I bet you don't have food then, I could get you some, I'm sure you're busy" Jake replied.
"We are kind of busy, are you sure you can though?" Serenity asked.
"Yeah sure, I'm working today anyway so I'll bring some stuff by soon" Jake replied.
"Thanks, here" Serenity said, handing him some money from her pocket.
"No way, it's on me" Jake replied, "I'll see you later, bye" he said, running off quickly.
Serenity sighed in defeat and walked back to the stairs and walked up behind Bryan and walked up to her door. "Who was that?" Tala asked, trying to keep his voice more casual then concerned.
"He works in a grocery story around the corner and he's been a good friend of mine when I was younger" Serenity explained, ramming the door open, startling Tala and Bryan a little. Serenity walked into her apartment and walked into the living room which was the main room and across a small kitchen could be seen. She walked around the living room and ran her hand over the wooden furniture and smiled, "Just the way I left it" she whispered.
A/N: Ok that was the end of the chapter I hope you liked it. Ok Silvan Arrow I guess this chapter answered your question. I hope this chapter was good, I always new how they would escape but found this chapter a little hard to write. Ok please tell me what you think because I need to know what you thought of it so that I could continue. Please Review.
