"Is she steady?" A familiar voice asked.
"Yes." An unfamiliar voice
My father. How dare he not be happy for me and Opal. We pulled through. We are alive. The thought tears through my head, yet I just stay still and listen to the news.
"Hows the baby?" He asks.
It sounds like he doesnt care much at all. Anger surges up from nowhere and I swear I see red. While I was resisting the urge to kill him or at least try, I miss the reply and faint from stress.
When I wake up, its dark outside. Slowly I sit up and see father snoozing at the foot of the bed.
"Carrissa, I love you." He mumbles.
Carrissa? I dont know the name. Anger surges up only this time I push it down. I cant risk fainting. I snatch dads wallet out of his pocket. I check it. I count the cash. Over 500$ in there. I grin. Quickly I slip out of bed and pocket the wallet. I run down the halls. I have been here lots before. When mother was giving birth to Opal, when dad cracked my head open and a bunch of other times. I run to the infirmary and find Opal. I scoop her up and open a window. I am going to run away.
Before I change my mind, I leap out the window, aiming for a tree with lots of leaves. I land on it , no damage done. I slither to the ground and check that the wallet is stil, there. It is. I hear a whistle. Shoot. I hug the trunk of the tree. Right then Opal decides to wake up and cry.
"Who's there" the doctor called.
I quickly try to muffle the sound of her crying but to no avail. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a beam of light. Shoot. He has a flashlight. Quickly I shift, trying to get out of the lights path but right then I have to get a cramp that hits me hard. I quickly push the pain away and make a wild dash to the next tree 5 meters away.
4 meters. The light hits he spot where I was before I got a cramp.
3 meters. I pull off to the side and dash for the gates.
I run to the gates, heaving for air. I can taste the freedom. Right when I turn the corner and is about 20 meters from the door, the doctor leaps in about halfway there as if he was a check point. I know he called for backup because I can see all of the lights flicker on but my room's light has not turned on yet. I know that if I stopped I would be caught. I needed the time. I leaped over a rock and sprinted, praying to god that I would make it. He opened his arms as if to welcome me home. But I knew he would take me back to the hospital and I wouldn't go back. I crouch down as if I was aiming to jump and he just stood straighter. I leap onto his knees, using them as a launch pad and then launching onto his shoulders. Mid-jump I kick backwards and wince as my foot connects with bone. I feel him collapse down onto the floor. Right then the back up has to come. Again I crouch but this time I slide under her. I slide out of the gates and I stand up and run away
