Soul of a Captive(Edited and Different Ending)

Chapter Ten

I stood at the bus stop watching the trees dance in the slight breeze. I had no idea where I was going but I did know it has to be near the prison Danny is being held hostage in. As I stood waiting I tired to remember where Danny was being held, I knew it wasn't too far because I walked home. After what felt like half an hour the bus strolled to a stop in front of me. The doors opened slowly allowing me to enter. I stepped in cautiously watching where I was stepping so I didn't trip.

"Where you heading to ma'ma?" The bus driver questioned smiling. I looked around the bus a few times before answering.

"The county prison please." The bus driver gave me a questioning look but then shrugged his shoulders and pressed some buttons on his machine.

"That will be £2.80 ma'am" He stated. I handed him the money got my ticket then walked to the back of the bus so that I was away from everyone's piercing eyes. The bus jerked to a start then slowly rolled forward. I could hear the people on the bus whispering about me and my true love. I blocked them out and just watched as the trees and grassland floated past.

After about fifteen minutes the bus jerked to a stop outside the county prison. I grabbed my bag and walked off the bus. The people kept whispering about me but I just shrugged it off. Once off the bus I walked to the gates of the prison.

The gates were about ten foot high with a door on the right hand side. There was a buzzer next to the door, I hovered my finger over the button contemplating whether to press it or not, I eventually pressed the buzzer.

"Hello, how can I help?" A voice spoke over the speaker.

"Erm, I'm here to visit Danny Dweller?" I spoke in an unsure tone.

"Visiting times are over." The voice spoke back.

"When can I come visit?" I questioned.

"Next visiting hours are at 9am tomorrow morning." The voice answered then I heard a click. They must have gone.

I looked down at my watch, it read 10:00pm I had eleven hours until I could visit my soul mate. I turned away from the gates and took in my surroundings. About five feet in front of me was the road and the bus stop. On the other side of the road were a couple of houses. I walked towards the road and look up both sides. Houses covered the land, there had to be a hotel somewhere.

I stepped off the path and headed to the house right in front of me. Once outside the door I brought my hand up and knocked. My heart started to race as I heard rustling and movement from behind the door. I saw the knob turn and I held my breath.

"Hello?" A young lady opened the door with a puzzled look on her face.

"Hi, sorry for bothering you this evening but please could you tell me where the nearest hotel is?" I questioned all in one breath. The lady looked me up and down and nodded.

"If you go down the road and turn right there's one a couple of miles up the road." She said smiling.

"Thank you, have a nice evening." I said and walked towards the road. I looked right and all I could see where houses. I shrugged my shoulders and began walking to my unknown destination.

I carried on down the road for about half an hour before I came to a hotel. I stood looking at the building. It was about four floors high and painted red and white. I walked towards the wooden double doors, pushing them open with both hands.

I walked into a large room with a desk in the middle, the full room was covered in red carpet, I walked towards the round desk. On the desk were leaflets and a small bell with a sign saying "Ring for attention" I pressed the bell and waited. After about two minutes a woman came to the desk. I looked her up and down, she was wearing a white blouse with a black skirt and black heels, around her neck was a red tie.

"Hello, I'd like to book a room please?" I questioned her.

"Sure, how many nights would you like to stay?" She questioned while looking at a notebook.

"A week please?" I questioned unsure.

"Yeah that's fine, that will be £280 please." She stated while writing in her notebook. I took out my purse, counted some notes and handed her the money. She counted it, smiled and got a key out of a draw.

"Just go up those stairs and it's the first door on your right." She said while handing me the key, I said thank you and turned and walked the way she said.

Once in my room I put my suitcase on the bed and looked around. In front off the bed was a flat screen tv and a cabinet underneath it. To the left off the tv was a door, I opened the door and behind was a bathroom. I walked to the bedroom and sat on the bed, contemplating my next move.

I took my notebook out of my bag and opened it to the first page. I wrote on the top line 'Plan'. Now I just had to think of what I was going to do.

I began making a list of things I need to do:

1. Visit Danny and talk to him about escaping.

2. Plan the escape.

3. Get him out then run away.

That's my plan done. Short and sweet. I put my notebook away, unpacked all my stuff then got into bed. That night I fell asleep with a smile on my face. I couldn't wait to see Danny again and talk to him about escaping. My heart filled with hope of him getting out.
