Kidnapper's Lover

Epilogue

It had to be somewhere close to nine o'clock when I looked out one of the windows of the train. It was pretty dark, and the sunset was long gone. We were on a bridge, passing through the mountains who were slowly losing their icy touch as the snow started to melt away. There laid a river right next to it, where I noticed some deer drinking the cold water. There had to be at least 12 of them, enough to form a herd.

I was amazed that no employees had came into this room to ask for tickets or if we wanted drinks. There weren't any lights on in this cabin either, maybe it wasn't up to date with this rest of the train. I assumed that they probably closed it off to any boarding passengers. Vincent had fallen asleep on one of the couches, with his legs stretched out almost touching the floor. I noticed his bloody bullet wound on his leg. It stopped bleeding, but I knew that he was probably in a lot of pain from it. I had to help him basically get to the couch because it hurt so much. He looked so innocent when he was asleep. I kind of laughed at the thought of that. This killer deliberately hurts people, but he sleeps like a baby. How ironic.

We talked for a bit about where we were going to go from this. Where would we stay and how are we going to eat and how we are going to not get caught and all that sort of stuff. Vincent mentioned that he had a cousin upstate that he knew pretty well and would probably let us hide out at his place, or until at least some things died down. Man how much trouble we got ourselves into. My parents are probably so disappointed and heartbroken. Speaking of them, I decided to write them a letter to just give them reassurance that I was going to be okay.

Dear Mom and Dad,

I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am for being the biggest disappointment you'll ever have. You did so much for me, took care of me, and tried your best to guide me on the path to success. I wanted to let you guys know that I won't be coming home for a while. I caused too much chaos, and everything is a mess right now. I hope you guys understand that I never meant to conflict pain onto the both of you. Everything you have heard is probably true, and I apologize. Maybe I'll come back one day when everything dies down. I love you guys dearly and I'm always thinking of you.

Love your daughter,

Zoe.
