Today was the day, the day I escape. The plan is all set, just a few more hours now and I'll be free. I check my window, I check my desk, I check the hall, the last light is closed, perfect. I creep down the hall to get my bag, my shoes and my coat, once I get back to my room I sit on my bed and take a deep breathe, just a few minutes now.... Finally, midnight, I open my window, leave the note on my bed and jump out the window, so far everything is going to plan. I run down the street, take a right, then a left, then a right, then straight, I keep running until I reach the woods. Then I sit down on the edge of the forest and reach into my bag for water "great, I forgot my water..." I mutter to myself.
I walk into the woods, smiling at the moonlight, but then I hear it, my name. "Anika! Anika!" I shake my head trying to figure out why I'm hearing my name. I hear it again "Anika! Anika!" I look around, no one. "Wake up!" That's when I sit up in my bed, dang! It was just a dream, just a few days until I have the cash saved up to go threw with my plan.... I look up to my moms troubled grey eyes, her pale skin seemed paler, her hair was a big blonde mess. "Oh hey mom.." I force a smile. She smiles sadly "morning sweetheart" she says. I look around "where's mark?" I ask in a hushed voice. She looks at me "gone to work... I know you're planning on running off..." She whispers to me and I nod "I'm sorry mom... I can't handle mark.." I mumble. She nods and hands me ten thousand dollars in cash "If I were as brave as you, I would have used this like I had planned. Use it wisely" she says before walking out of my room. I let out a sigh, great time to pack. I pack all my clothes, which is literally just 5 black outfits, I have my white nightgown on. I grab my stuff, make sure I have the money, the water, the food and everything I could need. I slip on my running shoes and my leather jacket. If only I were lie everyone else, then I wouldn't have to run from mark and his assistants... But that's not the case. I write the note:
'I'm tired of being a freak, I'm tired of being tested on, I'm sick of it! I'm going to go get my freedom, no one can stop me.
-love Anika'
I smile at my amazing penmanship and open the window, setting the sticky note on the window ledge, I jump out, landing in a roll. I start running to the woods I had dreamed about....
