Alone

Chapter 4; Freedom

Holiday Summers POV;
"Hello Ms. Kathy!"  then silence.  Ms.Kathy?  Who's that? the name sounds familiar.  Walking out of the room as quickly as I could.  Back out in the hall I couldn't help but think about what the voices said.  Ms.Kathy, Ms.Kathy, Ms.Kathy, who is Ms.Kathy!?  Where have I heard that name before?  This is going to bug me until I find out, isn't it?

    "You won't find out.  Stop trying, dummy your memories are gone."  I ignored them, they're just voices, nothing more.  But... wait how did they know I lost my memory or what I was thinking?  After thinking about this for some time the memory part hit me.  The board I wrote on, I remembered I had mentioned that I don't remember anything.  Now how did they know about the Ms.Kathy thing?  I mean..... I know that they're the ones that first brought her up but, still how did they know what I was thinking?  Again brushing off the thought that disturbed me. 

    I kept walking, when I looked up and noticed a dark spot a few yards ahead of me.  Curiosity got the best of me and I decided to speed up.  Nearly running I reached it, a double glass door.  My faint reflection is visible due to the darkness outside.  There was no lock but I couldn't get the door to budge.  Just realizing that there was a second door just beside this, I turned and opened it.  Unlocked, and of course it was nearly empty with the exception of 1 table.  I walked up to the table and looked at it.  Noticing a button under the table top, I pressed it.

A click sounded, but not in the room; it was from outside.  I ran out to the door and it was unlocked!  I was free!  Outside was quite cold but I didn't mind, it wasn't as stuffy or bright as the other place.  In fact I could barely see out here. 

Walking around with only the light from the other place I could see that I was surrounded by trees.  A bunch of trees, with small signs placed all over the yard.  All of these signs, however, were blank.  Above the place was a large blank board that looked to have been a sign.  All of those were overgrown with grass and dead vines.

I continued to look around in the dark night and cold air. It wasn't that hard to spot a path in the leafless trees.  Walking down the path I started to hum a song. I don't remember the song's name or any of the words but it was better than the soundless trees(with the exception of the wind howling every now and then).  In the darkness the trees looked like nightmares.  One looked like a tall person standing, another looked like a large animal about to attack.  This turned out to be an oddly shaped stump.
