Chapter Eight
Marebela

I still had no clue where I was going.

The darker the sky got the colder the wind was.

How was I going to find Gunn when I had no phone and even if I did have a phone I wouldn't be able to call him because I didn't know his phone number.

Stepmother wouldn't let me use my phone at night and when she did let me I could only use it for thirty minutes and she had to watch what I was doing.

I couldn't imagine the punishment I was going to face if she had ever found me.

I couldn't imagine the punishment that Gunn was going to give me now that I got lost. What if he thought I ran away and now he wouldn't bother looking for me because he never wanted me around to begin with.

Would he punish me like stepmother now? Especially after the act I pulled back at the bakery. I didn't want to find him now.

I didn't want to find out what he had in store for me.

I found a park bench and decided to sit down on it. I knew if I continued walking I'd get more lost so maybe if I sat down I could give myself time to think.

Maybe I could ask someone if I could use their phone and then find the directions to the restaurant or I could ask the person.

But maybe they won't know where it is so maybe I should just use the GPS but then I won't be able to use that since I can't bring their phone with me.

So now I'm back at square one with no idea of what to do.

I looked around there were light posts that were shining light so it wasn't pitch black.

Firework Inn

It looked like an old huge house and a motel. There were many rooms and windows and now I realized it was very familiar.

The fireworks. This was where the fireworks were held right behind this building. I missed them but they only have once a year, I'm pretty sure.

Maybe I can stay in there. I can get a room for the night and then tomorrow I can find Gunns restaurant.

The only problem with that is that I don't have any money.

I also don't have any of the shopping bags because when Gunn dragged me out of the bakery we left them there. So now I don't have any of the clothes he bought me.

I just wasted all his money. That was probably going to add onto the punishment and make it worse.

I chewed on my nails. Maybe I didn't want to go back, maybe I can last on my own and figure out what to do.

I hear something rattling in the bushes just outside of the inn.

I grew nervous and I tried to get ahold of my breathing.

What was it?

A wolf? A person? A barbarian? A criminal?

Suddenly it jumped out of the bushes and I shrieked in surprised.

It wasn't any of those things.

It was a cat. It had orange fur and white design on its head. I wasn't sure whether it was a boy or a girl but it was the prettiest cat I've ever seen.

It looked pretty small and thin. It didn't seem to have a collar but maybe it ran away. Or it could be a stray.

I felt bad for the cat. It looks so lonely and scared. I wanted to cry.
