Who would be foolish enough to run away when you are in my situation? I am the daughter of the most powerful Assembly. Everyone will recognize me. I pull out my large sunglasses and a hat, stuffing my hair up inside. Never breaking my stride.

It's not much. But anything can help me right now.

I sprint along the trees and the backs of lawns as I make for the address on of Diane's current home. Luckily I memorized it when I saw it on my mother's information sheet about her. Something told me it would be important.

I silently thank Carlotta for all the runs and workouts she made me do alongside of her. As much complaining as I did during the exercise, it pays off as I swerve between trees and bushes. Sidewalks are too dangerous, after all.

I finally pull up to Diane's street.

I have to slow down and go on to the sidewalk. I squint at the numbers on the side of the house.

I walk up to the right house, take a deep breath, and ring the doorbell.

I hope that Diane is home, else I'll have a lot of explaining to do.  

Hey everyone!

I just want to thank everyone who has followed the story so far. You are all amazingly incredible. I PROMISE I will get to all of your lovely votes and comments soon. I've been super busy with my NaNoWriMo project, but I will find the time. :)
