My lifeless body sat on the soft and clothed seat of the bus, the bus zooming past by the starry night, the stars were like little flashlights in the night sky, I liked to assume it was God's little helpers, helping us, innocent and heart broken people to the right path.

I didn't know where I was going. My royal blue, square neck vintage style dressy knee dress, was torn and ripped in some places, looking at all the mud and stain on my dress, I guess I was lucky to escape from Orion, and my hair looked like a birds nest, it was tangled and I desperately tried to brush it, with my fingers, but it was of no use.

Tears fell over my cheeks, like the Niagara Falls.

I wanted to escape this horrible, and sickening world. I wanted everything to be over in seconds. Taking couple of breathes, I tried calming myself down, just like my mum used to say. "It's alright. Take a deep breathe in now let it out" imagining that mum was right here with me.

I smiled at the small thought that popped in my mind, I missed her inspirational aura, she was always so optimistic and never gave up on life.

Mum always knew how to make one of us feel more and more special each passing day, even though, me, Shelby and Miles were adults, she still treated us like, if we were still little children, running and playing around the house.

Closing my already tired and baggy brown chocolate eyes, I pictured my family, my dad, who was more then happy to be around us, he was a little on the crazier side, and always tried making us laugh or smile whenever one of us had the worst day in history. Dad never made us feel like we weren't special, just like mum, dad always stayed optimistic. Living with mum really caught on with dad

They were truly the greatest parents I ever had.

And my two siblings, Shelby and Miles. Who I adored the most, and loved the most. We always fought over the stupidest fights, Miles being the oldest, he was always protective over me and Shelby, he hated seeing us getting hurt or going in the wrong path, and Shelby, she was something else, alright. Shelby loved parties, and sneaking out late at night to visit boys or her friends. Me and her were quite different, different as in, I loved reading a good horror novel in a dark and stormy day, with lightening and thunder.

Snapping myself out of my thoughts, I realise I was only thinking about my family, they weren't real, they were only in my head.

"I'm sorry miss, but where exactly are you going?" I looked at the bus driver, was he talking to me?

Staring around the bus, I notice I was the only one on the bus and this late at night. What would my parents think? Suddenly panicking, I sigh and hold my locket tightly around my hands. It was given to me by Shelby and Miles, they both gave it to me, on my twenty third birthday

And I've cherished it, ever since then.

"Miss" the bus driver replied, his voice was deep, and old. He had black hair, with olive skin. "Take me to-"

My brain racking up some place to go to, I wanted to get far away from Newston, a small town where I live, I mean used to, I used to live in Newston, but I ran away, running away from the nightmare and the horrific past.

I hated the memory that kept coming back every few seconds, it was as if it was a broken video tape, reminding me of the dreadful few weeks I had with Orion.

"WhiteGate" replying with a soft whisper, I was stunned that the bus driver heard my soft and delicate soft whisper, but at this moment I didn't care I only cared about getting far away from Newston.

"alright"

Whatever happened in WhiteGate, I wanted to keep it a secret, I wanted it to bury deep inside me and hoped Orion would never find me. He would collapse my entire life, as well as my own family.
