Dear dairy,

I woke up in a strange place this morning. It was in a small house by a lake and there was an old woman talking to the lady I found in the prison. They look the same, but before my eyes could open fully we here all this loud bangs and footsteps.

I the old women yelled "gunfire" she opens a hatch to go underneath the house. We jump in and close the hatch. straight after that, the door slams open and I hear this loud voice, "have you seen them". The lady sounded confused, but it leads them away. Till the second guard saw the old woman's face.

"You look like her but a lot older" the old women knew who the guard was talking about according to the lady, "who! who are you talking about, I am 80 years old can you leave me in peace!" and the door slammed right after.

I don't know what I felt at this point, scared of getting caught and my brains were blown out on the floor, angry that the lady took me here, thankful for the old women keeping us safe, or shameful for not doing my time.

I didn't know how long we were there for but it felt like a long time. Eventually, she opened the hatch. She told us they were long gone we weren't allowed out till she got a bucket of water to wash the dirt, which I hated because it smelled like damp soil.

She said we can stay here for a while, I agreed but I the lady tended to differ. she rambled on how they will shot us 20 times or get 100 lashes for misbehaving and life in prison if they find us here. not to meshes, we will most likely die but I can all ways make a plan to avoid them I guess.
