˚✽" Run ✽˚
╚════════ ════════╝
I'VE BEEN RUNNING for almost what seems for an hour. I finally ran away, I'm free. Right as I was about to stop, I heard a voice along with the loud footsteps of horses running. Despite how tired I was, I just kept running, even faster than before. My mind started going blank.
" Why am I running"
I couldn't even process what I was doing
" M-my head hurts "
I just kept running. It felt like I've been now running forever. My chest started to feel an tremendous pain. My lungs started were in extreme pain. But I still didn't care. I just ran like my life depended on it, because it did.
My cheeks were started to feel ice cold. The fact that it was night didn't make it any better, my eye sigh started turning blurry, I started getting more and more tired. I felt blistering pain on my feet. My white titanium night gown started getting dirty after running in the field. It started ripping.
" Whatever, just keep running "
Despite my dress, pain, and my mind I just ran.
I finally stopped reaching the city. My knees felt so weak, I was about to collapse. I found an alleyway with stairs reaching an unknown building. I collapsed on the stairs and blacked out.
I woke up.
I was in someone's room. It was now the dusk of dawn. The only sound was the ruckus coming from the kitchen. I looked out the window to see where I was, and I was in Manhattan.
" I ended up here. Huh"
I saw a big group of boys running down the streets of new york heading to somewhere called, " The World "
" Wait, they're newsies!"
My mind was still so foggy after running for such a long time.
" Good morning!" A lady called out.
She brought out a steaming hot plate of breakfast. I devoured it in seconds. The lady explained that she found me on her stairs outside.
I thanked her for what she has done for me, but right as I was about to get up, all I had was my dress. What was I gonna do now?
I asked the lady if she had a bag and clothes.
" A bag and clothes? I think I have a bag, but not clothes. Not girl clothes at least. I have old's son clothes if you'd like to use that." She responded
I said that anything would do.
She gave me the clothes and bag and I was on my way.
" Thank you!" I said while walking out.
I realized, what am I gonna do now? I looked around as I saw again the newsies.
" I'll just sell papers to get a place!"
I reached into the pockets of my nightgown to obtain my small coin purse. About 5 dollars I saved up to run away.
" I guess it's better than nothing"
I ran behind a building and put on the boy's clothes the lady gave me. A Tan and brown plaid shirt, dark brown suspenders, and dark gray trousers. I put on my bag and shoved my coin purse and nightgown where it wasn't that noticeable.
