Reader's POV
I decided it was about time to leave, but a few others had different thoughts...
It was late, past quiet time, when I started to sneak out of Wammy's. I had what little earthly possessions I had, including the clothes I was wearing, in a small bag. All I really had in my bag was one change of clothes, a couple books, some currency I stole from Roger, and my electronics.
I quietly crept down the hall. Everything was quiet until halfway down the corridor. That's when-
"Hey! What the bloody hell do you think you're doing?" A boy behind me asks. Instead of answering, I take off. I'm not dead if they can't catch me, right? Well, I turned the corner and was tackled by another male.
My bag fell just as I did and landed a few metres away, and luckily it went unnoticed. The first guy grabbed me by the hair and I let out a scream before the other kid punched me in my stomach. I coughed and spluttered.
"You think we would let a wimp like you leave without a beating?" He laughed. I looked at him and kicked him in his soft area.
"Go to hell," I spat as he dropped me and doubled over in pain. I see something move out of the corner of my eye, and I realize too late this guy's friend is still here. He hits me in the stomach again and I cough.
"You done yet, little bi-" The blonde haired male is cut off by my fist in his face. He reels back and holds his nose, now bleeding. I smirk at him, in which he replies with a snarl. He leaps at me once more, but he is too quick, pinning me against the wall and punching my face.
With a sickening crack, my nose breaks. The force of the punch also splits my lip. The other person is up now, and pulls back his buddy to kick my legs out from underneath me.
"Dang, Andrew, I know she can fight, but she's still a girl."
"Jake, you say that after what you just did? Look, her nose is broken."
The two continue to bicker, not noticing me reach my hand into my pocket. I was about to pull out my knife, when Andrew kicks me in the side. I gasp, the force of the kick knocking the breath from me.
"Think you're so smooth, don't ya?" He barks. I can't utter a word, pain blurring my vision. Unsatisfied, he kicks me again, much harder this time. I cry out. He continues to kick me until he finally becomes bored.
"The little pig won't squeal anymore. This isn't fun. Guess it's time to kill her." Andrew sighs, snatching my knife from the ground. He opens the knife with a click, one that never scared me before, but now it is the sound I fear.
"Bye bye, little rat!" He shouts as he brings the knife down. Without thinking, I grab the knife in my hand in defense. The blade bites into my skin, but I don't care at this point. I rip the knife from his hand, grab my bag, and run. I run as fast as possible, due to my injures, and I close my knife.
When I get to the fence, I can hear the footsteps of my two assailants behind me. Without hesitation, I jump the fence. Finally beyond the fence that contained me all my life, I ran into the surrounding city.
~Timeskip brought to you by too much information.~
Morning.
I'd never been happier to see the light of day.
After a long night of running through the confusing streets of... Whatever city this is, I'm exhausted. The adrenaline that previous flowed through my body was now thinning, wearing off, and I need to do something about my injuries.
My nose has stopped bleeding, and so has my lip, but my hand seems to be getting worse. I need to find a hospital. Looking around, I see an open coffee shop across the street with almost no customers. Great.
Running across the street, I enter the shop. The barista looks up from the register and at me, her expression turning to worry as she sees my injuries.
"Ma'am, are you okay-" she asks, right before I manage to whisper, "Help," and fall to the floor. Before I hit the ground, everything goes black.

Heyo, Krys here! It's been a long time since I last updated this book, but I have no excuse for my leave.
I found inspiration to write this chapter after reading a post from writing-prompt-s on Tumblr.
Anyways, I hope you like it! Sorry again for being slow to update, but at least I didn't give you a piece of crap!
Krys~
