From Golden Rags, to Royal Riches

chapter 32

<pre>"Ok did you get it?" I asked

"one more wined and..... Off" he handed me the small silver flusher on the toilet.

"ok, it might take a while but.. It'll do." I said climbing onto the top bunk and quietly scratching at the bars of the little.. But big enough, vent.

"Lila, really?" he said climbing on the top bunk and hovering over me.

"what?" I asked

"at this rate, we'll never get out" he said taking the toilet flusher from me.

He took a hard slam at one of the 5 bars and made a huge dent, He did it again and knocked of the first bar.

"whoa, nice" I said astonished.

"thanks" he said and took another swing at the second bar.

"ou-who-who-who" he shuddered rubbing his hand

"oh my gosh are you okay?!" I whispered

"no," he said, sitting on the ground, and rubbing his hand.

"w-what can I do?" I asked

"first set the bars back in" I grabbed the two fallen bars and set them lightly back in the place. He clutched his bleeding, bruised hand.

"now?" I said

"put the toilet flushed back on" he said sucking in. I quickly screwed it on.

"what now?" I asked

"get some help" he said clothing his hand and his head finally falling to the floor. I quickly ran to the bars and started screaming

"help!!!!" I screamed

"Lila.." he whispered.

I got on my knees in front ofl him

"yes" I said wiping away a tear on my cheek.

"when someone comes, run" he whispered

"are you stupid?!, no!" I shouted.

"Lila, please I'll find a way to get out" he said quietly

"ok, I really need some help" he blurted out

"right.. HELP!!!!!!" I screamed.

finally someone came running

"he cut open his hand open" I summarized.

"Lila" he whispered opening his eyes and looking at the open cellar door.

"run!!" he shouted

With out hesitation, or thinking I sprinted out the door around 4 benches, down a flight of stairs, and out the door. I ran for about 5 minutes until I finally seen a taxi and flagged it down.

"Bristol" I said.

He gave me a strange look and started driving.

"you know this is over an 3 hour drive" he said

I nodded and looked out my window. There was a farm, with a fence and cows, dogs chasing each other, and a big blue barn.

A small blonde haired, girl, ran after the small dog. I smiled and looked around mote to see an about 8-9 year old red haired boy riding a brown and white pony. We drove over a hill and I could not see the house anymore.

Why can't my life be normal? I thought to myself.

I sighed.

The balding, white haired, Santa clause driver looked at me in his rearview mirror.

"so you just visiting Bristol?" he asked and made a sharp right turn.

"I live there" I said not really feeling like talking.

"Oh, what brings you to Birmingham?" before I could think up in answers other then, I was in the bathroom and captured by ninjas his phone rang. He picked up the small black flip phone and held it to his ear.

"yelllow" he answered

There was a faint talking.

"no I haven't seen a blonde girl in an orange jumpsuit" he said starring at me through the rearview mirror again.

There was a short pause and then more chatter

"yes Mardi I'll keep a sharp eye out" he still carefully eyed me.

"yes, bye" and he hung up his phone.

There was a silent, awkward pause.

"So...." he started

"what actually brings you to Bristol?" he asked

"I'm princess Lila... Uh, well I'm not quite sure of my last name."

"oh, Lila... Lila.... and Ansley Maddeylia"

"Madd, Ansley?, what?" I said confused

"Lila Maddeylia, she went missing at age 4"

"4?" I repeated

"ya and then went up for adoption"

"ya, ya.. I know.. I'm her" I said

The taxi came to a stop.

"what." he said turning and looking at me.

"wait Maddeylia.. I thought last name was... Um.." I started

"Carson." he said.

"Ya." I said.

"Ansley was Carson-Maddeylia"

"wait. Who's Ansley?" I asked confused

"you older sister"

I blinked.
