I do not own Inkheart or any of it's characters Cornelia Funke does. I own Lilly, Cancer, Firefang, and Alice.

As my husband was walking away with me I thought why my life along with many of the maids lifes were so disposable and that I had to come in and be the one everyone will remember for making thier hopes of escape one day vanish like smoke.

He then brought me back to our house. " I will be back later Lilly but it will be very late because me and a few others are going into town to enjoy our selves and have a drink or 5. Don't even think about trying to run or else."

He left me alone and when to go have fun.

I thought about the possibility of me running away and well I had to take it even if they got me back I could not live on knowing that all the maids will stay here untill they die or get murdered.

Then out of nowhere I herd a hushed whisper "Lilly."

I look toward the small box like window. Out side of it was Farid.

"Yeah Farid."

"I have come to bust you out of here!"

"Yeah! Thank you so much Farid lets go!"

"Ok wait a sec I have to unlock this door."

As soon as he unlocked it I rushed out and into his arms and cryed.

After a while we left.

We soon joined up with Dustfinger and we were off through the thick forest.

"Well we should settle down and find a perfect area that is open, then we need to find some fruits, veggies, nuts, and roots we can cook."said Dustfinger

" I think it is safe to light a fire since I think we are pretty far from the road."

But he was wrong. We were about 17 yards away from the road.

After we ate our meal of roots we went to sleep our fire still going. Dustfinger said we should have it through the night because it gets pretty chilly and it scares away wild animals.

After a while I herd Dustfinger and Farid's snores. Yes I still was awake for some reason.

I was thinking how lucky we were to get away when I herd a car.

The engine purring loudly then coming to a stop.

I quickly shook awake Farid and Dustfinger.

" I herd a car engine about 15 yards away... and it stopped. Do you think it was..."

I didn't even finish my sentence because it was not Farid or Dustfinger who answered.

" Yes princess its me." said Firefang

" You know Basta right? And Flatnose and Cockerell? Well they decided to join the party."

He chuckled at his lame attempt for a joke.

Firefang then took a long stride and picked me up but not gentally.

Flatnose got Dustfinger Cockerell got Farid and to my horror Basta started beating up Farid.

I herd lots of cracks and there was blood everywere and I was sobbing.

" Please stop Basta.... he has had enough!'

" Oh has he? Well I was just getting started."

While I was sobbing Firefang was kissing my neak.

I turned around facing Firefang and started hitting him but to no avail.

" You heartless bitch you should have been named Firefuck! Or Fuckfang!" I said then I totally got into it and started calling him other names and laughing.

" That is enough Basta go to the car and get me that rag you know the one that Capricorn has us take anywhere just in case." said Firefang said

Then he winked.

I knew this was not good but I could not stop my rage it just keep on flowing like a volcanoe that had no end.

"You bastard. If you are so stong why don't you hit me? Mabey you are just a weak fuck trying to play big boy. Ha!"

Then the rag when over my mouth and i knew what was next so I held my breath.

They soon figured out I was holding my breath so Firefang walked over to Basta and whispered something in his ear.

Then thankfully Basta realesed his hand from my mouth and I sucked in a huge gulp of air but as I was doind that Basta put the rag over my mouth again.

Then the world started spinning and everything was flashing different colors. I then flet me self falling but I could not do anything.

Before I fell to the ground Firefang caught me and picked me up. " Farid." I whispered lightly before everything went dark.
