Saving Our World

Chapter 8

*Emma's POV*

"It's so cold," I whispered to myself. I had stayed out for 3 days. After what I had done, I couldn't bare to think of what would happen if I returned.

"Why does this always happen to me?" I cried. I went berserk again. This was not the first time.

"What should I do?" My tears were spiraling down my face.

The only thing I can do is run away. That's all I can do.

Right now I am sitting in the rails of the beautiful bridge of London. London is my favorite city. A lot of things happened in this city. I just want to stay here and be swallowed up by my memories.

"Excuse me?" Someone called out me. "What are you doing?" I Turned around and saw a young girl, about 7 or 8, standing a few yards away from me.

"The question here should be what are you doing?" I pointed to her. I jumped down from my seat and stepped in front of her. "I'm pretty sure that kids aren't supposed to be out at night without an escort."

"I'm running away from home," she muttered.

"Why?" I asked, tilting my head questioningly.

"Because Mommy and Daddy don't need me anymore," she pouted.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because now that they have two babies to take care of, they don't have time to take care of me," she started to tear up.

"Aren't you happy to have siblings?" I asked her.

"I am, but every time I try to help Mommy, she tells me that I don't need to help," she began to cry. This is weird.

"What is you name?" I asked her.

"My name is Alice," she told me.

"Well Alice, I don't think that your mommy wanted you to run away. She probably thought that you would be more happy playing with your friends than taking care of children," I explained to her. It took a while, but I finally got her to tell me where she lived. We talked on the way tocher house.

"Here we are!" She smiled as we stopped in front of a huge mansion. It looked really familiar. All the lights were opened.

"Why we all the lights opened?" I asked.

"I don't know," Alice shrugged. She pulled me into the yard. When she opened the door, a bunch of people were in the house. They were all bustling around.

"What the heck is all of this?" I stared at the scene. Everyone stared at me. Then their eyes reached the little person standing next to me and they all broke down into joyful tears.

"Miss Alice!!!!!!" They cried and tried to hug her but she avoided their touch.

"Where are my brothers and my parent?" Her voice rang out.

"In the parlor room talking to the police," a maid said.

"Take me to them," Alice ordered. She followed the maid. I was about to follow them when I was stopped.

"Who are you?" A guard asked me.

"Someone who you are not allowed to talk to," I told him. I followed after Alice without caring about the staring servants.

"Mommy! Daddy!"

"Alice!"

I walked in and saw Alice hugging her parents. I stayed by the door, watching their small reunion. I was about to walk up to Alice when I was grabbed by a guard. It was the same guard that takes to me before.
