Lets Play Darling

*Evangeline's POV*

I want to go check on father and Kassy, but I can't, at least not right now. If i were to go anywhere she would order Jackson or one of his guys to go with me to be sure I'm safe from that "monster". But honestly, how is he the monster? They do the same things he does. At least he has the decency to know what it is and not act like its justified just cause you want something from them. 

They don't understand anything. They think because they are older than me that they know more about this situation than I do, But they are totally blind to any side of the story except theirs. Yes he tortures people, but these girls where either going to die of starvation or they were on death row. So if anything he is saving their lives. The only person who wasn't already almost dead to begin with is Kassy, and she was given the choice to come or not. I just wish they would look at the big picture instead of critique little details and blow them out of proportion.

That's it. I've decided. I'm running away tonight. None of this bull shit can affect me if I'm not here to endure it. I just have to spend one more day here and after that no more. I'll live with dad and Kassy, and maybe they'll get married. Then I will have a new, better, amazing mother. I can't wait to live the life I was meant to live.

I hear a knock on my door "Oh, hunny" my mother coos from the other side. "it's time for brakfast, We are having your favorite. french toast with a side of hash browns and two sunny side up eggs."

She says that so kindly, like she doesn't think I'm upset she is trying to take my father away from me. Like she didn't send my brother to be tortured last night. Like I didn't stay up all  night to the sound of him in pain. Shes a disgrace to this country. Shes a disgrace to this race. She's a disgrace to this world.

I sigh, get up and walk to the dining room. My plate is sat next to her's. I go and move it as far away from her as possible and sit down.

After breakfast I head back to my room. The escape tonight might be a bit difficult now that i think about it. I am going to have to head the opposite direction after getting out cause I know they have a tracker in me. Once I get far enough out I will have to cut it out of me and bandage it back up as quick as possible. I can't waist time messing around. Once I get to the cabin they are at there should be some stuff that I can patch the wound up with. Or maybe I should stop by a store and get some supplies. I'm sure more food and first aid stuff wont hurt. 

What will I use as a bandage to begin with though? It's not like I can just ask for one. They would ask questions as to why I need it and I'm far too old to pull of that its for a teddy bear or something like that. Maybe there's some stuff in the room they are keeping Angel in. I can ask to visit him and request the guard to stand outside while we talk. Yea that will have to do.

I head downstairs and towards the direction they took Angel. "Where do you think you're going young lady?" I hear Jackson say behind me.
