This is a depressing time for Laura, she ended in a strange place, straight into the arms of a mysterious handsome stranger in the middle of nowhere.
With problems piling up one after another, she was lost on how to proceed next! She knows that she needs to go home quickly before the vampires find out that she was not in her house or else... all hell will break loose in her home. She was afraid that if she can't come home on time, the vampires will massacre her entire family along with the loyal servants that have been serving her family for many years.
She needs to plan her escape before that mysterious guy comes back! She looked at Sally. "Can you bring me some biscuits or bread, please?" she asked.
Sally nodded her head. "Yes, Miss. I'll go to the kitchen..." she said and left.
Laura rose to her feet and went to the area near the iron gate, Sally was telling the truth. The gate is high more than eight feet tall and two guards are guarding it.
Damn! She can't escape through the gate.
She went back to the flower garden and walked towards the forest at the back of the house. Is she brave enough to venture into the forest where overgrown bushes and grass might hide snakes and suddenly bite her? She might die by the snake's venom in there and no one can help her. If she dies in the forest, her death can't solve her problem. Her entire family will still be killed by vampires!
Tears welled in her eyes as her frustration grows in her heart, suffocating her.
She wants to go home badly!
She bit her lower lip and sighed heavily. She turned around heading back to the flower garden. She will just wait for another opportunity...
The maid was already there when she returned to the table. She lowered herself in the chair and poured the pitcher of lemonade into the glass.
Sally's face turned into relief after seeing her come back to the table. "I'm glad you are back, Miss. I thought you're already planning to escape," she said worriedly.
Laura sighed. "Don't worry I won't escape today," she said.
"If you're gone and goes missing, Miss, our Lord will kill me!" Sally said misty-eyed.
"Calm down, I'm still here," Laura said and drinks the glass of refreshing lemonade.
Afraid that she will escape, Sally remained in the flower garden watching over the Lord's mistress.
Hours went by.
Noontime.
"Miss, where do you want to eat your lunch... here in the garden or inside the Lord's room?" Sally asked.
"Just bring the food here. I want to eat my lunch surrounded by the blooming flowers," Laura replied.
"Okay, I'll get your food from the kitchen," Sally said and walked towards the house.
Laura waited for Sally to come back to bring her meal. Worrying much about her dire situation made her hungry. The flower garden is beautiful to look at but its charm can no longer cheer her up as she was deeply troubled by her current condition. Stranded in a faraway place surrounded by strangers with no chance to go home is the worst thing ever.
She was losing hope already...
Wait... if she can convince that handsome guy to send her home, maybe things aren't as hopeless as they looked to be.
But how to convince that guy? He was keen on keeping her by his side. Convincing him is her last option. She has no other choice, she will try her best to convince him tonight to let her go home the next day. Maybe...after hearing her explanation...he will take pity on her sad flight and release her.
