Chapter Two

•Leondre•

They walk back out of the room, leaving me broken on the floor. Looking around, I see that I lay in a puddle of my own blood.

Standing up, I see that they've left the door open a little. This is my chance, I could finally escape!

I make my way slowly to the open doorway, every movement hurting my broken body. Ignoring the pain, I slowly crawl the steps to the wooden door. Hearing talking, I stop to find out where it comes from.

They're in the kitchen, so I decide to keep going. The basement steps are next to the front door, so I quickly open it and leave.

I close the door behind me, trying to be as quiet as I can. This is it. This is the start of a new chapter in my life.

Where should I go? I don't know any family or friends that I could go to. Soon, I come to the decision to go to the airport. It can't be that far away, I hear planes fly past all the time.

It turns out I was right. No more than ten minutes later, I reach the airport and find myself in chaos.

"Attention!" A woman shouts, effectively making the entire room quiet.

"Today, we have a competition in our departures lounge." Is that where I am?

"We're going to have a competition; a talent competition. The winner will be decided by two of our air stewardesses. The winner will receive a free ticket to any destination at any time." This is my chance, I'm going to enter.

So, I do. I enter and when it's my turn, I rap a song that I've written myself.

Too soon, the time comes for the airport to pick a winner.

"And the winner is," The woman pauses to take a piece of paper out I an envelope, "Leondre Devries!"

"Thank you so much!" I exclaim, tears running uncontrollably out of my eyes.

"Where would you like to go?" She asks me.

I think for a second and then say, "Hollywood!"

"When would you like to go?"

I see my parents across the room and state, "Now."

"Everyone! Leondre Devries, winner of the talent contest going to Hollywood right now!"

Someone walks over to me and I'm escorted onto the plane as the crowd cheers for me.

Once I'm seated in second class, I think to myself 'you did good Leondre, you did good' before falling asleep.
