Sworn to Secrecy

Inside Out And Back Again

Once I heard the footsteps, I got nervous. I didn't dare turn my head. Mary sensed my fear.

"Faster." She whispered. I nodded in agreement. The faster we went, the faster the footsteps were. Gathering my courage I turned around, and saw the one thing I dreaded most of all. Tiger. We made eye contact, right then and there I knew this was the end.

"Get over here right now, before you regret it." We almost made it, almost. I grabbed the twins' hand, Mary grabbed the other child. We approached Tiger with our heads down. I felt ashamed and downright mad. I was so close!

We walked down a couple more blocks, when I heard the faint noise. It sounded like a siren. Just stop, it's all in your head. Face it, your dead. That was my first thiught, until the sound grew louder. Before I knew it, several police cars were surrounding us. Tiger looked for ways to bolt, but found no such luck. The head police man gets out.

"Sir hand over the children, if you fail to do so you will be in more trouble than you already are. You have the right to remain silent at this time. Anything you say can and will be held against you." Tiger shoots me one last glare, and shoots an evil eye at Mary. One man takes my hand and leads me to a car. "It's okay, I'll help you." "B-but Mary." I stutter, still shocked that this is really happening. "Oh the other children will be just fine. We will be contacting your parents soon." "She doesn't have any. They died." I say barely above a whisper. "I see, well let's get down to the station. Those men will be in custody, and until a legal guardian comes to claim you, you'll be put in questioning." My face turns scared. "Don't worry," he chuckles, "We just want to know what happened. Are you ok with that?" I smile.

~~~~~At The Station~~~~~

Once I walk in the door and see Mary, I run over to her. We have gotten very close over the past year. A/N okay if your confused she was held captive for a year btw. We embrace, scared to let go. The kind man in the car is on the phone. He walks over to me, and gestures for me to follow him. He takes me into an isolated room without windows. In fact the entire room is empty, except a table and two chairs. He asks me a few questions. Most of them are yes or no, a couple require more detail. Then I remember something. Tiger told me not to tell anyone anything, he said I was sworn to secrecy. Those words ring in my ear until it's unbearable. I begin to sob. Not just a stifled cry, but a full on can-fill-a-bathtub cry. The man walks over to me, and whispers comforting things into my ear. After a couple of minutes, and three cups of water later, I finish asking the questions. It dawns on me that I am scarred for life. I will never be able to forget this no matter how hard I try. Tigers words will come to haunt me for the rest of my life. "Jenna?" A high pitched voice calls, interrupting my thoughts. I look up. "Mom? Mom! Dad!" I run over to them. We have a family hug. Reach and my siblings stand a couple feet away. They come running over to me. Again, I'm trapped in a bear hug. I've never felt more uncomfortable and more happy in my entire life. I look over my shoulder and see Mary, with a tear dropping from her cheek. The kind man is talking to her. "Are you sure there is no other family?" "Yes." Mary says, her face once again filled with pain and suffering. "Well if your sure, then you'll be pit in foster care." I wish I could do something, but there is nothing I could do. I run over to her and give her the most love felt hug I have ever given. We cry together, both u sure what to say. I hate the way life has to be. I'm happy that I'm out of that hell hole, it now I'm faced with having to leave someone who has helped me live. Of course Rachel is my best friend, but the friendship I have with Mary is entirely different. We relied on each other for everything, and now, she will never be apart of my life. Ever. "I will never forget you. Never. Ever. Ever. Thank you so much for everything. I hope you have an amazing life." I say this with such emotion and feeling. It really came from the heart. She cried even harder. When I finally let go, I regret it. She has a sad smile on her face. I pray she'll be okay. "I won't forget either." She says, than the kind man takes her hand. That was the last time I saw Mary.
