ESCAPE

Emily eyes slowly fluttered open; she looked around confused until last nights events came flooding back to her. She felt yesterday’s tears reappearing at the rims of her eyes and as a hard as she tried to repress them, they still kept falling

As she moved to sit upright she noticed that Jared side of the bed was empty. She waited a while to see if the silence in the room would break, but it continually held.

‘Jared?’ Emily called out making sure that he wasn’t hiding anywhere, but when no answer came she relaxed

Using his absence to her advantage Emily maneuvered herself off the bed and made her way to Tristan’s cot. When she reached the foot of the bed she lent down to find it empty. Panicking Emily looked around frantically

‘Where is he?’ Emily thought as she ran a shaky hand through her hair

Standing still for a moment Emily let her mind contemplate the endless theories that surrounded Jared’s and Tristan’s absence. Breathing in fast uneven gasps Emily replayed one theory over and over again; Jared leaving with Tristan

‘What if Jared had actually taken Tristan and ran away….’ Emily mumbled under her breath, as a fresh wave of tears came spilling down her moist cheeks

Suddenly feeling light headed Emily Immediately held onto the cot for support and shook her head violently as she tried to get rid of the nagging image of Jared leaving with Tristan. 

‘No….No…..he wouldn’t do that’ Emily spoke suddenly, wiping away all traces of uncertainty that she felt before

‘He wouldn’t do that cos he needs me…he needs me to marry him’ Emily calmly spoke as she let the realisation of her words sink in.

Having new found hope that Tristan was still in the house; Emily hoisted up her slumped body and proceeded towards the door. Before leaving however Emily packed a small bag full of necessities for herself and Tristan; knowing that this would be the last time she would step foot in the room again, before her escape. 

Not wasting any time in her search, Emily ran around endless corridors trying to find any sign of Tristan. As she came to end of one hallway on the second floor, she saw a door slightly open and immediately advanced towards the room. Pushing the door open Emily came into what seemed like a nursery room. The walls were painted sky blue with fluffy clouds and multicolored hot- air balloons dispersed around the room; giving it an out- doorsy feel. The rest of the room was taken up by a white marble framed fire place, two leather couches, a huge over head window, dozens of toys and finally a wooden cot placed in the right hand corner of the room

‘TRISTAN’ Emily shouted out in relief, as she crossed the remaining distance between herself and his cot

‘Miss Emily what are you doing here?’ a familiar female voice called out

Emily looked up in surprise, it seemed that in her rush to hold Tristan she became oblivious to the fact that Mary was sitting on the couch next to Tristan’s cot

‘I came to find Tristan. What are you doing here?’ Emily replied back

Mary eyebrows furrowed in confusion ‘I…uh…I was told to look after Tristan for the day by Master Jared, he said that you needed a break from looking after the little guy……..but I might be wrong. Would you like me to find him and double check?’
