THE ESCAPE

Part 3: The Truth

I tried but i wasn't ready to tell them i was one of the abductees. The night that i had my memory come back in a dream, i just told She that i remembered my brothers died trying to protect me. Every night since i had that dream of memory. Last nights dream was a little different. It was a dream from when we were all little kids. We were playing in the dirt making sandcastles. The sun was shining bright in a blue cloudless sky. My mom was sitting on a chair with he beautiful, long, curly brown hair covering her shaded eyes. Jack was burying his cars in his sand castle when i got up and jumped on Marks sandcastle.
It took no time for him to complain to my mom that his masterpiece was gone. Before i knew it i was awake again and i couldn't go back to my perfect cookie cutter memory. After i had my dream i hadn't left my room, it only been one day. I've trapped myself in the room for about three days now. As i exited my room i saw she sitting in the kitchen.
“Well hello Bea. How are you?” she asked.
“My name is not Bea,” i said hastily under my breath.
“What was that i couldn’t hear you?”
Her sweet innocent voice and kind nature was annoying me. My head pounded with anger and frustration so i yelled.
“My name is not Bea!” by now i was ready to rip someone's head off .
“Why are you yelling..”I didn't wait for She to finish what she was saying and stormed out.
In anger i started walking. At first i had no idea where to go, but then i started walking to the spot where she found me. When i go to the clearing my brother's footprints were still there, so i followed them. Very quickly tears started running down my face. I seen two more pairs of footprints join my brother's and soon i was on the edge of city and forest. I couldn't go any further. I felt like the whole town would look at me like the criminal i am. I needed to tell she everything but i couldn’t . instead of going back to the house i went to the clearing.
When i entered the magnificent clearing i saw a rock that  was big enough for me to sit on. As i sat i pondered what my life would be like if my brothers were still alive, with me. I heard rustling in the bushes that made my heart pound faster than it already was. She slowly appears in the distance, and i slowly relaxed at the sight of her.
“I knew that id find you here” She said when she finally approached me.
“I'm not ready to tell my story if that s what you want.” i was so angry at myself.
“Fine i won't push you, just listen to my side of the story. My name is Beatris. I only found you because your brothers seen me and asked if i could take care of you if they didn't come back. I was happy to oblige. I don't know why they trusted me, but they did. I have been looking over you for the past month and i regret nothing.”
“I always wondered how this weird looking being found me in a forest.” I chuckled “so now what do i call you, She or Bea”
“Call me either of those and i will answer.”She smiled
While we walked home i told Beatris all about who i was and where i came from. I also told her why my brother's hid me in the clearing. “I'm an abductee, but my brothers didn't mean to kill that man. The old creep was trying to take me and they were just trying to protect me.”
Ever since my dad left us, my brother's swore to protect me at any cost. When Beatris didn’t say anything i was sure that she would call the police. Well if the police did kill me i wouldn't hate myself knowing that i got my brothers killed.
Breaking the silence bea spoke up “ so you are the other abductee, we need to get you out of the city.”
“You aren't going to turn me in?”
“There are more trustworthy sources of information than that paper, and i choose to believe you.”
We got back to her house and started packing. Out of nowhere Z showed up.
“Why are we packing? You of all people should know that poor people aren't allowed to travel far”

“Alexandria here is the other abductee so we have to help her get out of the before they find out”
I'll tell you more about it once we leave. We left her and started to make our way to Zacherious’ safe house, and Beatris caught him up on who i am. At first Z wanted to turn me in and wouldn't come come around me.
He eventually said, “i would have never thought that i knew a killer”
I was so mad. I just lost my brothers and all he can say is that he knows a killer. “I am not a killer and neither are my dead brother's. They were protecting me. What do i have to say to prove to you that i am not making this up”
“Will you two just stop it” beatris butted in. “ just because the newspaper says something doesn't mean that it's true. Just once in your life can't you trust someone Z! It not that hard to do.”
We walked in silence and soon we made it to the outskirts of town. We walked past a drain pipe and i heard my name. I stopped and heard my name again. Looking down i seen two pairs of eyes that belonged to my brother's.
“I thought you guys were dead,” i kneeled down to talk to them “ i'm so glad that you guys are alive.” i was crying now and it was nothing new. All this time i thought they were dead the government was hiding them so they could kill us at the same time. I called for beatris and Z so they could help me.
“Can you guys help me get my brother's out of here?”

“Well how do you know that they are your brother's” Z was beginning to become a little cocky. “ they could be killers trying to kill a beautiful young lady.”
Then one of my brother's said “ her name is Alexandra but she likes being called alex. I, Jack dropped her by accident and asked this lovely to watch alex just incase she woke up and wasn't dead. We only ran away so the police wouldn't find her. Now if i know all of that how could we not be her brother's?”
At that moment i knew that they were my brother's but i had one question. “When did it happen”
Mark spoke up “ August 10, 8235, mom’s birthday”
