Midnight.

Moonlight streamed through the window and spilled across my bed.

The first thing I saw when I wake up,was my half-opened suitcase.I found myself just napped on the floor.

A pang of fear hit me when I realised what was going on.I carefully counted the list of things I must bring and zipped up the suitcase.Meanwhile,I caught a faint  hissing sound.Heart racing,muscles tensed from anxiety.I have to be quick. How could have I slept under such circumstance?

Darkness fulfilled the house.I tiptoed out of my room .I quietly walked through a corridor to a living room.In the dark,I can see broken wine bottles and crashed cans all over the floor.The scene sent me waves of goosebumps.I quickly sneaked out of the door,dare not to take one more look--I’ve taken enough before. I carried the suitcase clumsily and took the lift to the ground floor.By the time the lift doors closed,I heard the sound of a twisting doorknob.My stomach tightened from fear.

The lift door almost took a century  to open.I burst out.The pounding noise of my suitcase woke the old security guard--Mr.Jackson up.Well,this is the millionth time I caught him loafing on his work.He greeted me sheepishly and opened the entrance for me.I took one last glance at him and rushed out of here.Night breeze snapped onto my face.All of a sudden,I realise I was still in pajamas.

A clear tinkling sound in distance indicated a lift arrived the lobby.Sweats  beaded up my palms.I didnt even have the courage to whip my head around.I hurried pass a few identical buildings.

“Miyanna.”Someone yelled behind me.Wobbly footsteps approaching rapidly toward me.

I took a sharp left to face the back gate of a park.I fled into the park and dove behind bushes.The branches  tingled my bare skin but I didn’t dare to make a single move.

______________________

Darkness overwhelmed me.Dancing in the middle of the enormous room,an unclear figure was twisting her stiff limbs in a contrived way.The picture was dreadful.

Suddenly，lights shone in from the cracks of the wall,warmth embraced me.

Cuts appeared on the girl's body one by one,the thin lines of scarlet glowed brightly,stinging my eyes.She flickered her body like flames.Screams of agonize escaped from her lips.

As if being roasted,the room was turning bright red,like a living hell,burning the precious oxygen away bit by bit.I was locked in this cramped room hopelessly.Cheeks searing,hot air suffocating me...

I kicked my blanket off the bench.The kick awakened me but the frightening feel from the dream still remained .Fresh air brushing my face.I gasped for air thirstily.My fringe was wet from sweat,sticking my forehead.

I let out a shriek instinctively when I realised a back-lithted figure was standing in front of me,watching.

"Miyanna?"The figure cried in bewilderment.

I adjusted my eyes，the figure came in focus slowly.

It's Mr. Jackson.

”Oh my...Are you okay?What are you doing here?"Asked Mr.Jackson.

I blushed.It wasn’t the first time for me to sleep in the park,but it definitely was the first time someone I know caught me sleeping here.I paused for a while.

------------

Late afternoon.

It was a week after my first arrival.Jennifer finally went off to her pregnant holiday,so it's up to myself now.

There was barely a living creature in the library.I guess people went to lunch this time.

I held a <<Thanks for the memories>> of Cecilia Ahern,flipping over pages thrillingly.Within a week,I've reached half of the book.

"Hey!"Someone whispered and I startled.I raised my head and met Seaton's gaze .He quickly darted his gaze away.He handed out the <<Ulysses>> he was holding.

”Um...I'm sorry，I didn't see you.”I whispered.I could feel my cheeks burning.

”I was here in front of you like 5 minutes here u didn't notice me.”He said and let out a dizzying smile.

Finished checking,I handed him back the book.

Prolog:The final escape

Dawn is breaking.The warmth of sunlight embraces me.

A pang of fear hits me when I realise what’s going on.I whip around to grap my suitcase and tiptoe to the door.Meanwhile,I caught a faint  hissing sound.Heart racing，muscles tense from anxiety.I have to be quick. How could have i asleep under such circumstance?

I sneak out of the door and take a quick turn to my left-hand side. I carry the suitcase clumsily and hurry downstairs to the lobby.By the time，the footsteps approaching rapidly toward me.Sweats  beading up my palms.I take a sharp u-turn.At the moment a drunkard step into the lobby，Ive already crashed into the security room.I mouth Mr.Jackson to stay silent.He shoot me a frustrating expression.

The drunkard wonder around the estate.I exchange glances with mr.jackson.Seems like he has  figured out what"s happening.

Lights fill my vision.Objects slowly come to focus.

Frustration shoots through me.I sit up and shift my legs on the pinkish carpet,the softness of the furry carpet reminds me the happening last night.Or should I say,this morning.

I sneak out of home--again--last night.The drunkard came after me.(stupid noisy suitcase!).I hid behind Mr.Jackson.When the drunkard finally gave up finding me,I realised I have no where to go.I begged  Mr Jackson for letting me stay at his home before i am settled. Here i am in her daughter’s pretty room,i can see her parents really love her.

love

There’s a clanking sound in the house.I trail the sound to the kitchen and found Mr. Jackson busying cooking.

“Oh young lady,you’re awake.”says Mr.Jackson

”I was preparing your dinner but looks like you want a lunch!”.He jokes.

His eyes seems puffy and there are dark circles under his eyes.I frowned.He must have read me.

“Well,you know...I don’t usually eat this early cause’ I take the night shift.Let’s not talk about it.Now go wash up!Did you bring along your toothbrush?”

I nod and head to the washroom.I splash water into my face.It’s not that I don’t want to sleep longer .But I can’t sleep long and comfortablely since my dad start doing terrible things on me.I guess this is some kind of self-defence.

I stare hard at the girl in the mirror,she look so pine and pale.There’s no senses of liveliness in her eyes,as if the last spirit was driven out of her.The more the bruise and wounds appear on her body,the more desperate she become.Head spinning,terrible memories begin to surface and threatening to swallow me up.

“Don’t think about it ,don't think about it,don't think about it ,don't think about it......”I hypnotise myself ,clench my fist and hurry out of the washroom.

The table is already made and the dishes is placed.I take a sit silently while Mr.Jackson murmurs a prayer.

There’s an awkward silence between us while we are having lunch.

“Thanks......this is delicious.”I worked up my nerve to break the silence.I wonder if he know that the thank was meant more than just the lunch.

“Your welcome,"A smile spread across Mr.Jackson's face but still could'nt cover the tiredness of him."oh anyway,we've known quite a long time but I still dont know your name."

“It’s Miyanna.”

After the lunch,he started introduce me his house.

“You came here in a rush yesterday.I havent introduce you yet.”

“So...my daughter moved away for job,it’s only me living in here now.You can use the guest room.Here,let me show you.”He gesture me to follow him.The guest room is next to his daughter’s room.The room has a soothing beige theme.

“Thanks ,for letting me stay.”Tears begin to dott my eyes.

He yawned frequently when he was giving me a tutor about this house.

“Maybe you really should sleep now.I can figure these out my own”I suggest and give him a tiny smile.It’s a smile i truly managed from the bottom of my heart .
