I arrived at home at 5 o,clock that same evening. The reason my father wanted me home. I did not know. He knew that I was helping Enola find her mother. I walked inside and into the kitchen. "Father why did you need me to come home. I should be helping Enola" I said firmly to him. He looked at me dead in the eyes. We didn't get along well. Apparently I reminded me of mother to much. "Don't talk to me in that way young lady. Anyways. It's time for you to become a lady. Mrs Harrison has a finishing school that you are going to go to" He said to me. Tears started to form in my eyes. I didn't want to be a lady. I wanted to learn. I wanted to read. I wanted to write. I didn't want to get married or have children. I despised children. I could never have them. Being a Lady gave me restrictions that I don't want to have and I wasn't going to. "I am not going to a dumb finishing school. I don't want to be a Lady. I don't want children. I don't want a Husband. Because those two things are utterly stupid. Boys and babies. And your not going to get a son in law. Or a grandchild because i'm not going to give it to you. Wether you like it or not" I said before rushing up to my bedroom and locking the door. I looked through the key hole before moving away from the door. He wasn't going to come up and shout or slap me. I picked up my notebook and started to write in it. Not my stories. Just the hatred I felt for my family. No not my family my father. Because this wasn't my family anyways. I may have loved my siblings but I never even saw them anymore. They where either in their own homes or in there rooms. Enola and her mother were my family. At least thats what I thought of them even if they didn't think of me that way. Suddenly I heard a motor car. Of course he had already called Mrs Harrison before I even got here. "Ada open the door now" he yelled whilst thumping on my door. "No can do Father. I'm a girl. I need my privacy" I said. I heard him get the spare key for my room and open the door. I turned on my bed and sat up. "Yes" I said.
"Get up and get downstairs now" He dragged me down the stairs where a wrinkly old women stood. She looked the opposite of anything i'd ever want to be like when I would be older. "Now girl come over here" she said as she sat down on our chair. She offered me a seat and sent my father away. "Now my dear. What's your name?" She asked me in an old posh voice that made my ears bleed.
"First of all my name is Ada Camden. Second of all I am not going back o your stupid finishing school because I am not goi by to become a Lady" I said firmly. She looked at me in the eyes like I had just stabbed her or something. She immediately stood up and walked over to me. "You will not speak to me like that or my finishing school" She slapped me on the face leaving a huge red mark. "You do realise that just makes me hate you even more" I said and walked back up to my room. "Stupid Mrs Harrison and her stupid finishing school" I said. A few minutes had past since I had stormed up stairs and Mrs Harrison had left. I was trying to think of a way to get out of my house without Father seeing me. All ways of doing so where impossible without well killing me or my father finding out what I was doing. All but climbing out the window down the vines and cycling back to Enola's house before sun rise. And right now it was 10 o,clock so I had quite a bit of time to get out. The first time I tried my drawers where in the way and I fell of them. The second time well more or less of the same. The third time. Well you get the picture. It wasn't until the 6th time that I managed to get down the vines and onto my bike when I started to cycle back to Enola's house. Of course my father would look for me there first. However I knew that Enola would of figured out a plan to get us both out of there and look for her mother. Mycroft probably wanted to send her to Mrs Harrison's finishing school as well. After an hour because our houses where pretty far away from each other.I waited just outside of her window and sure enough of she was climbing out of it. It looked like she had a different type of clothes now and had a spare one for me. Of course she knew I was coming. Damn she's smart. "Get changed and lets go" She said to me. I rolled my eyes and smiled before going behind a massive bush and getting changed. "Lets go. I brought my bicycle with me" I told her.
"Good thing. You'll need it" We saw the sun starting to rise and got onto our bikes and cycled away hoping that Mycroft and Sherlock hadn't seen us leave. "Where exactly are we going Enola?" I asked her.
"It's complicated but first things first. Where going to the train station. And halfway there we're dumping our bikes to trick them." I looked over at her. Jesus she was amazing. "You really are amazingly smart Enola"
She looked over at me and smiled. A few minutes later we dumped our bikes and made our way to the train station. "The game is a foot" I heard Enola day whilst looking into the distance.

"Who the hell are you talking to" i asked her.
She quickly turned back to me.
"No one. I'm talking to no one. I didn't say anything" She said before turning around and started to walk to the train station. I followed behind her. Not soon after we arrived at the train station not many people were looking at us so it all seemed fine. For now at least. I heard distant chattering from a family. There son was missing on the train. Knowing our luck he'd probably end up hiding in our compartment get himself nearly killed and cause us humungous amounts of trouble over the next days. But that probably wasn't going to happen right. I don't know. When we were getting onto the train so was a man with a bowler hat he looked over to us and tipped his hat. He looked like he was looking for someone. Oh god we are going to have a bad few days.
