Hours later, Hazel groggily slipped out of unconscious. Her head hurt and her whole body ached. Even opening her eyes took lots of energy. Her eyes couldn't focus. Eventually, she forced herself up. It was dark outside probably around 9:00. Then she resumed her train of thought:could she really escape? The looked at the attic window. She couldn't believe she had never thought of climbing out. The window was small, but she was very skinny and could easily fit through. She started to stand but stopped herself: this was crazy! She supposed it was better than rotting in this attic. She at a piece of bread. "Let's see" she thought, once I leave Rhu Village, I'll go to Glacestone Town, and then to Twinleaf town." The whole idea was scary and exciting. Would she be brave enough? She nibbled at the stale bread. It tasted like cardboard but it was food. She walked over to the window. Was she really doing this? Swallowing her fear she opened the window. stuck her foot out, and here bare toes touched the shingles of the roof. She continued to crawl out the window. Her shoulder blades got a bit stuck but she managed to wiggle herself free. She stood there on top of the roof for a moment. She started crawling carefully down the roof. She reached the edge of the roof and was faced with is daunting seven foot drop. Mustering up all her courage, she leaped of the roof and landed heavily on the grass bellow. Her house was in the back of the village so she started running to the front. She ran swiftly and silently down the rows of houses. She suppressed the urge to holler out in happiness: she'd wake someone up. Finally, she reached the route leading out of the town. She was free.
