"Dimitri, I know how you feel but just try to understand where Rose is coming from, it's hard on her too." Lissa was using her most calming and soothing tone, but I could sense from her that they had been talking about me for awhile, she had heard about what had happened at the church; what he had said to me. Christian wasn't with her, he was angry at Dimitri, why I couldn't imagine it's not like we've had the best relationship ever. And I know she cares about me, even without the bond telling me.
It still hurt though knowing that no one had yet to notice that I was gone, it sent a sharp stabbing pain right to my heart, a pain that took my breathe away. I pulled out and let the tears silently slide down my face. 'No one had noticed I wasn't even there!' I thought despairingly, and with my heart even more cracked then it was before I promised that I would leave them alone, and that I would never check in on Lissa again, no point to keep hurting myself.
I pushed myself up and moved away from the tree wiping the tears away and forcing myself to go on. It was funny though, because I felt numb and being thirsty was no longer an issue. I grabbed the straps on my backpack and just focused on moving forward one step at a time; I had no idea what I was going to do or where I was going to go.

I saw the trees thinning out considerably, which was a nice change, seeing all that light and open sky filtering through it gave me hope that maybe I'm almost out of these damn woods! I picked up my pace to a light jog until the tree line broke and I came upon a small town. It was a bleak day out with grey clouds blocking out the sun, but it was a beautiful site to me, a welcomed site. I walked into the town, which appeared to be a small one. I walked into the first building I saw, which was a small diner.
"Can I help you dear?" A plump woman who looked to be in her late thirties asked me from behind the counter.
"Can I use your phone, I need to call my dad?" I smile at her sweetly.
"Sure dear, just go around the corner and it's on the wall before the restrooms."
"Thanks," I tell her and am glad I can drop the smile while I turn away. I've thought about all my options and at this point, which is sooner than I had wanted, I know I have to call Abe. I just hope he's willing to help me out the way I need him to and not drag me back to that hell hole I just escaped from.
"Abe Mazure," his voice picks up on the first ring.
"Um, hey, it's me," I say uncertain.
"Where in the hell are you!?" I can ssooo tell he's pissed; maybe someone's finally noticed I'm gone.
"I'm not to sure where I'm at, some diner, it's a small town a few days out from the court." I exhale out, maybe I didn't have to call him, I'm sure I could've thought of something.
"I've got your location I'm on my way, we'll talk when I get there; and you better have a good explanation for this." He barks out, and with that he hangs up. I stand there staring at the phone for a minute before I hang it up, 'how in the hell did he get my location?' I shrug and sit down in a booth, he sounded pretty pissed so I'm sure it won't take that long for him to get here.
