Part 2 Mornings

When you think morning you may think sunshine and birds singing. Where we are it is the opposite... it's dark and gloomy and all you hear are the dogs barking. Everybody hates the mornings here..
I woke up in the morning but it was finally me who woke up up first forty five minutes... I yawned knowing I wouldn't fall asleep again. I quietly walked over to the window hoping nobody would wake up as I opened the curtain, I looked back... still asleep.. I looked out at the crows and the darkness. My brother woke up groggy eyed. "What are you doing?.." I looked at him "Nothing!" He was staring at me with a blank face. "I was just wondering what it would be like to be free.." I said sighing he frowned "Free?" I looked down "Y'know not having to be here being treated like slaves.." he walked up to me and said confidently "be confident we will get out of here one day! Now we've gotta clean or else she'll yell at us!!" I nodded as we parted ways as I said in my mind I hope he gets out at least..
           I looked at him talking to Delilah and Zoey as he cleaned they were all laughing I hope they all get out i though to myself. I sat still for a second and without me knowing Mrs. Darla came behind me "you'd better be cleaning missy" I turned around terrified Then I turned back around and began cleaning again. She walked away my brother stopped talking for the time that Mrs. Darla was around. "Eva" I heard him whisper. I looked over and he pointed to the door as he was cleaning and I was surprised to find that it was open.. for the first time I would be able to go outside in 4 months!! We met up at the door pretend cleaning we got Delilah and Zoey over there too.
         We decided to not do it we knew Ms. Darla would find us.. so we decided we would do it December 4th. We left back to do our jobs. "That's enough cleaning for today." Mrs. Darla said angrily, every night around 8:00 we would go to bed. Well we would go our beds.. we would HAVE to be in bed by 9:30 if they catch us it's bad news.. so every night Kyle, Zoey, and Delilah would come to my bed and we would hang out until lights out. Those girls would still whisper but I didn't really care at that point. When we are all situated we would chat until we have to sleep..

December 4th
That night

Me, Delilah, Zoey, and Kyle all gathered our stuff to leave this was going to be a very difficult night. "Zoey, Delilah, Eva are you all ready?l Kyle said I nodded then looked over at Delilah and Zoey and they nodded too.. we needed to escape.
