part 10

I lay down in my bed thinking.

is there a chance for me. . a chance of going home..  being with dad and Michael. live like I never left. is there a chance of picking up my life and just go on where I stopped..

in my thoughts I'm a young girl again. I see myself running through my house.

  my slightly curled hair is bounded together in a ponytail.  my brother runs toward me with his arms stretched out like a mummy. 

I laugh out loud and beg him to stop.

I smile when I think about it. I hope we'll find a plan to run away soon. maybe the women who said she would help us has a plan.  

or she wants to run away as well..

that wouldn't be easy since she's  kind of old. she's probably not as good and fast in running as us.. and she probably doesn't know how the real world works anymore.. she hadn't seen it for over 45 years or longer.

the terrors she has to face every day doesn't make it easier.

days pass, weeks. And we're still getting ready to run away.  

the women who wanted to help us appeared to be very useful.  her name is Susan but Natalie and l are aloud  to name her sus.  Sus is good in winning people's trust and she is great in making food.  That could be useful when we run away. Natalie fishes, I search eatable plants and Sus cooks. we've thought it all out, over and over again. 

step by step we're getting closer to our goal.  after months of planning it all out we're finally ready to go. We make sure we have enough food for over two weeks and sort out things we need to bring with us.  I pack three pair of socks, 1 jeans, a couple of t-shirts and underwear. Since I didn't brought anything from home over here I don't have to worry about that. a photograph of my family wouldn't take away the risk we are just ready to step in anyway.

it's midnight when Natalie rushes into my room.  "get up lazy. we need to go."  I moan and let my blanket drop on the ground.  "Is Sus ready? and how do we escape?"   I ask yawning.   "she borrows Peather's car. she learned to drive when she was 15."    I frown. "Peather's car? he will never alloud that." I say while I dress and grab my back.  Natalie is grinning and grabs my hand.  "just come." she says as she leads me out of the building.  

I start grinning when I see Sus in the car.  Peather appeared to have a great band with Susan. that's why he let her borrow his car. Peather also opens the gate for us when we ride towards it. We just passed the security guard office when we see someone running after us.  "duck!"  Natalie yells at us.  I look another time and I feel relieved.   "it's okay, it's just Peather."

Peather runs towards the side of my door and I open the window. "I was wondering.  can I come with you?" he asks heavily breathing.   I look at Natalie.  she nods so I guess it's alright.   "sure." I say as I open the door quietly.   "thank you!" he says with a smile. I crawl next to Natalie and Peather plumps down on the chair I just sat on.

his hand touches mine and I look at him. His face is so close at me I am glowing red.  something in him reminds me of Bryan.  I can't exactly tell what it is. It only lasts a couple of seconds and then Natalie interrupts us by clearing het throat loudly.   I turn away from Peather and brush my hair with my fingers.  "so.. what are we waiting for? let's get out of here!"  I say exited. 

Sus nods and starts to drive.  I nestle myself on Natalie's shoulder and drift of to sleep. I have a dreamles sleep and wake up on Peather's shoulder. I must have been moving in my sleep.  "sorry. " I mutter while I blush.  "it's okay." Peather says.  

Natalie raises her eyebrows and is grinning.  I make a shut up sign and grin too.  "how long do we have to ride till we arrive?" I ask.   "well we are 100 miles away from district 7.. and that's where me and Peather used to live before the games. so I was wondering if we could go there first."  says Sus.  "sure," says Natalie  "we've got all the time."
