~* the great escape ~* OPEN

[Hope Michelle Ryller]

"She's getting away!" guards were yelling as Hope rushed bast them, her silvery eyes blazing and glowing like a star. Her body was dressed in a sort of patient outfit that was torn slightly from being pulled. Hope was gasping, her breathing sounding high pitched as if she was ready to pass out. She had to get out! She had to be free!

The Asylum was huge, and Hope was suprised she found her way through it all these years. Her wavy brown hair flew behind her as her bare feet slapped aganist the tile floor. She turned a corner and screamed as she fell into the hands of two guards. They held her and some walked toward her with a needle. Hope's fears bursted, "No!" she screamed, trying to free herself, "NO!!!" The guards made the mistake of touching her skin. Hope screamed and her body felt like hot lava fire. The guards let her go and Hope grabbed the doctor trying to stab her with the needle. She threw him into the guards and didn't bother watching as they all fell to the ground.

Hope rushed down the long hall and turned the corner-- skidding to a stop and running into the wall slightly. She pressed hands and small body aganist the wall, panting heavily. Just down the hall was the exit... she would be free. Hope smiled with relief and quickly ran for the exit. Her heart was pounding loudly in her ears and sweat beated down the side of her face. Almost there... Almost there! she cried in her head and suddenly her face connected with the tile floor. Her step-father was sitting ontop of her, hitting her across the face. Hope cried in fear and grabbed his hands. Raymond, her step father, tried to stick her neck with the needle he had in his hand. Hope screamed and blinked back her tears. "No!! Please!" she yelled and pushed his hands back, Raymond's eyes linking with hers. She gasped-- Raymond plunging the drug into Hope's arm.

Hope cried, feeling the drug fill her veins. It burned and suddenly Hope felt sleepy... sick. She shoved her hands at Raymond's face-- burning him with her hands and clawing at his eyes. Raymond hollared in anger and moved off of Hope so he was away from her hands. Hope got up instantly and panted as she sprinted for the door. Raymond held his hands to his eyes and pointed at her, "You wait, you little abomination!!! I WILL FIND YOU!!! JUST YOU WAIT!!!" he called after her.

It seemed like ages when Hope finally reached the mainlands. She didn't care WHERE she was-- she just had to get away... further away. Hope got out of the boat and ran across the beach, through the cities untill her legs gave out at the Puddingstone Reservoir. She fell to her knees, looking out at the lake and panting her heart out. Hope blinked back her fearful tears-- holding a hand to the dotted wound on her arm where her step father drugged her. The wound was bleeding... and a strip of silver liquid medication dripped down her arm. Hope's vision started to blurr intensly. She shook her head trying not to pass out. She gasped, trying to breath and fell over on the ground. Her heart was all she could heart, it's beating slowing down lightly but beating hard in her ears. Hope's breathing slowed but continued heavy as her eyes closed, "No..." she whispered...

and everything went black...

It was hot so of course Lillith got many weird looks because of her thick dress that brushed her ankles. But she knew that people were mostly wondering where her parents were. If you knew you would scream. Lillith always thought of this whenever she heard people muttering things that she should not have heard but of course she was curious. Being curious wasn't a bad thing after she did look like a five year old. But she creeped people out with her mere nature. So she lessened this by looking at her feet and keeping her mouth firmly shut.

Lillith actually looked up when she heard someone say no. Of course her curiosity took over and she wandered over to the lake that she had walked to. Upon the beach was a women. Obviously older than herself but she was passed out cold. Now how am I suppose to wake her up. Lillith skipped over to Hope and plopped down by her head. It was then that an idea came to mind. She let her hands heat up a bit as she took Hopes head and turned it so that her mouth was by her ear, then she let a scream that was at the right pitch to just wake up Hope. Not hurt her like her screams normally did. But of course this scream could only be heard by Hope. Lillith made sure of that.

She let Hope's head fall into her lap but kept her heated hands on her arm so that she would stay warm, and not lose all of her body heat while she lay here with a bit of a draft coming off off the lake.
