Caitlin and Ellie felt a bit sad that day as Barry left. It was a quiet day and they just stayed in the house finding things that were fun. That night when Caitlin was sleeping and she had a dream that Jay was there watching her. She woke up with a gasp and looked around her room. He wasn't there so she did a quick search of the house. Luckily it was 6 in the morning so she wasn't waking up to late for her standers. Caitlin waled to the bathroom and started freshening up. In the shower she noticed a shadow and though someone what hiding in her shower. She walked closer to the shower and pulled the cutting away on reveal some products and one of Ellies toys. Caitlin was walking to the kitchen when she almost bumped into something in front of her. She gasped when she released that it was Jay.

"I want you back" He said

"No" Caitlin said not believing that he was here

"It will be just like old times" He said holding her arms

"No. No!" Caitlin said squirming away from his touch. Jay then put his hand over her mouth and shoved her against a nearby wall.

"That was pretty stupid, you know why?" He said and she was muffling sound into his hand and he got frustrated so he shoved her into another wall. "Because if I can't have you know one will." Jay then shoved Caitlin onto the floor and before she could react he was over her and covers her mouth once again. "Like the jerk who was here, he'll be gone once I'm done with him and you know what whiny for a murder that need a body or that can think you ran away but this time you won't come back"

Ellie was seeing her mother in trouble and shouted "Mommy!" She then ran to her dad and pulled his hear and his ear. "Daddy no, stop it! Daddy, no!" She demanded and Caitlin was trying to reach her bracelet. Ellie then cover her father's eyes which was a good distraction for Caitlin. Jay shoved Ellie onto the floor and she cried out in pain. Caitlin presses a part of her bracelet that sprayed gas in his face. He was distracted by inhaling it ad Caitlin was able to grab Ellie and take her out the front door. Caitlin barricaded the door and put Ellie in the back. She then got in the drivers seat and locked the car. Caitlin fiddled with the keys before fitting it into the lock and she then sped out of the driveway and went to another place she still had.

She was in a empty area and went to the boot so she could get clothes and shoes for both her and her daughter. "Put that on" she instructed to her daughter.

"Mommy, what's happening?" Ellie asked sacred while completing the tasks that she was told to do.

"Juts put those on an I'll tell you later" Caitlin said then she heard a knock on the door and a guy leaned down. She recognised the guy instantly. The one who placed a bet on her. It was all a lie. He tried to pry the door open but she drove away. He got in his car and chased her where ever she went. They were on a empty road in the forrest somewhere when he banged the back of their car and Ellie squealed terrified. Julian the drove into the other lane next to her and scrolled down his window.

"Pull over" He said and she just gave him the middle finger "Pull over now!" He said

"Mommy stop it" Ellie screamed petrified

"Hold on tight ok sweetie" Caitlin said and turned her attention on the road trying to get faster. Another car was coming in Julians direction so he had to go behind Caitlin. Once again he caught up to them and hit the back of Caitlin's car.

"Mommy!" Ellie squealed powder and higher as her fear levels increased

"Sweetie just hold on tight ok" Caitlin said her voice rising as well. Julian the started to repeatedly bump the back of their car and Ellie started crying. "It'll be over soon honey! We'r almost there, hold on!" Caitlin said trying to get away from Julian. Caitlin the suddenly swivelled the car and went through a closed gate. They went under a steal area but Julian's car crashed and he couldn't move. Caitlin took a deep breathe and kept on moving until she reached a old car repair. She parked the car and got all of the luggage to move into another car that she had planted there when they first moved. It had more supplies and clothes and anything else that they needed. Caitlin strapped Ellie in the backseat and then went back in the drivers seat. She checked that she had her emergency wallet and pulled out a wig from the glove compartment. Then Caitlin started driving them out of Opal City.

"Ok sweetie, lets talk" Caitlin said dreading what's to come next "You want me to tell you what happened?' She asked and her daughter shook her head and looked back down. "Fair enough, look there is no more Erin and no more Queen Elizabeth, ok?" She asks and Ellie nodded.

"I'm hungry" Ellie said and they stopped at a small diner to eat. After that Caitlin looked for a lawyer to help her in trial. She got a name from one of the lady's at a diner and went into hid office.

"Hi Mr Toller, my name is Caitlin and I got your name from Mille, who works in the diner. The thing is my husband is trying to kill me, see" Caitlin says and shows a bruise on her neck. "I need someone to talk to who's smart and I have money" she continues and looks through her bag for money "500 dollars" She said and showing him "You can have it but I just need your help." She begged and he nodded at his assistant to leave them alone.

Caitlin explained everything "You had two chances to go to the police and file a complaint and you didn't't which tells him to keep on coming until he kills you. As for Ellie, your going to do for the custody hearing?"

"Yes" Caitlin said

"Good, you would be in more trouble if you didn't. Once your there your husband will portray you as a drug addict. For all I know you are one you break in here uninvited. I'd say he has a very good chance at going sole custody. Now could you please put this away" he says referring to the money

"No, is that it?" Caitlin asked "Your not going to help me?"

"That's what I'm telling you" Mr Toller said "It's too late, there isn't anyone who could help you. In a good conscious I should say the custody hearing is probably a trick, it's probably just a way to find you."

"Ok, thank you" Caitlin said politely and put the money back in her bag. She didn't know what to do next but she knew she had to see someone. Barry.
