((Apparently I'm running now? xD))

I let out a sigh and crossed my arms as I moved forward. I knew that wouldn't have worked. I really did want him to come, I just felt bad about making him leave. "I don't want you to leave. And I never said you couldn't come. But I just don't want you to have to leave your home. If you're really serious about coming, then let's just get going and forget about the whole conversation."

I didn't look at him as he caught up with me, but instead studied my feet as I walked. I wasn't exactly sure what to think, but I did know one thing. I had to go, soon. Mom would be home any moment and figure out that I was gone. I had left a note - though I'm not too sure why I had done it. I hadn't told her about the credit card though. But it would still be enough of a thing to have her look for me or something along those lines.

So we had to leave now.

(( Oh sorry! I thought that was what you meant! I'm sorry! Want me to change that? All I'd have to do is re-write the post....))

"Good. Now let's go go go! You left a note for your mom, didn't you? Oh, and do not feel bad 'bout making me leave my home. Remember, I didn't have a wonderful life before this." I asked, seeing it in her eyes. Without waiting for her, I ran at a steady pace, which I could keep for a long time.

((No, no. I don't mind suddenly speeding up x3))

I raised an eyebrow at his sudden enthusiasm. And then I had to speed up again to keep up with him. It was harder on the bruised legs, but I was keeping up fine. When we reached the street, though, I slowed down to a walk so as not to look at all suspicious. We reached the bus stop soon after that and caught the next bus that would take us to the train station.

From there, I started to get nervous. Butterflies began to flutter about my stomach. As I took my seat, I absentmindedly played with the clasp to my bag while I watched the street begin to move by. I knew I had to do this, but still...It was terrifying.

((Oh okay! ^.^))
I sat down beside her, and looked out the window beside her.

I could tell by the way she was playing with her clasp on her bag, the she was worried, and scared, and nervous, but yet, determined. Determined to get away, from all this abuse.

I leaned in closer, and started rubbing her arm idly. Everything is going to be okay, I thought to reassure myself.


((Sorry 'bout the short post..))'

((I dun mind ^^))

The buildings went by as flashes and the sky looked farther away then ever before. My senses were on overdrive as my panic rose, so I barely suppressed a yelp as the boy touched my arm. His touch was comforting and my mind and body began to relax. The peace was short lived, though. We arrived at the train station in the next few minutes and I gathered up my bag and slowly stepped from the bus, knowing that he would follow.

I took the first right I saw once inside the building, knowing the station off by heart. I then trotted towards a counter and approached slowly. There was - oddly - no line, so it was much easier and less stressful. I raised onto my tip-toes to make myself look taller and therefore older. The man at the desk glanced over his glasses, then back at his screen.

"What would you like, miss?"

"Um, two tickets...as far as this train will take us?"

"Alright. One second." he punched in a few numbers and letters. A machine rumbled beside him and spat out papers. I handed him money and he handed me change and the tickets. I smiled and thanked him, then turned around to leave.

*~18~*

[Rain]

"Come on! The train is this way. I think..." I let my voice trail off.  I let her lead me to the train-waiting place. There was--besides me, and Rin,-- no one at the train stop. "So, where is the train taking us? Do you know?" I asked curiously.


((Sorry 'bout the short post... and if it's a but godmoding, sorry!))

[Kitty]

((Nope, it's fine ^^ I was sorta doing more of it earlier. xD))

"Come on! The train is this way. I think..." I let the boy lead me to the platform. My worries and doubts started to slowly fade. When we reached a comfortable spot, he turned to look at me. "So, where is the train taking us? Do you know?"

"I have absolutely no idea. I just asked for tickets that'll take us as far as the train goes." I said, glancing at my ticket. I handed one to him and took a deep breath, leaning against him. A second later, a man came to stand by us. He was quiet for a while, only glancing at us a few times. But then he turned to face us and I shrunk back.

"You two running away?" he asked. I squeaked in alarm and hid behind the boy. My heart pounding, I dug my face into his arm. I was terrified, though I shouldn't be. But for some reason, I felt panic running through me.

*~19~*

[Rain]

"You two running away?" The man asked. "No, we're just going to see our great-great aunt Sasha. She has fallen ill, and we need to see if she's alright." I lied, with a fake sad voice. The man nodded, and let us by, and from there, we waited for the train.

[Kitty]

My face hidden in they boy's sleeve, I listened to the two talk. At first I prayed he wouldn't say anything. And then he started speaking and I began to shake. I thought it's all over. They'll figure us out and we'll be sent home. But instead of saying yes, he lied - pretty well actually - and I sighed in relief. The man nodded and looked away, but I stayed where I was. He terrified me for some reason. He made my heart thump and my arms throb. I shook my head and cleared away the confusion, just as the whistle of the train came echoing from down the tracks to out left.

*~20~*

[Rain]

The train's whistle got louder by the second as it got closer to the stop. C"mon, the train is here. Don't wanna miss it. Remeber, Aunt Sasha." I siad, just in case anyone was listening to us. When the train stopped, and we could get on, we did. I went on first, and took  a seat closeest to the exit, to get off faster. I looked out the window, not paying attention to if she got to the seat next to me or not. If she didn't we'd move closer later on in the ride.



((Sorry if  I was godmodding a bit...))

[Kitty]

((No no, it's okay. First person is hard with the no godmoding thing. So slip ups are okay. But that wasn't godmoding.))

I watched the train pull in, flying past my eyes at an amazing speed. I thought it would shoot right past us and keep going, but finally it slowed and then stopped. By that time I was extremely dizzy, my head spinning from watching all the cars of the train go by. I clung to the boy's arm as we stepped onto the train.

He led me a few seats down but stayed near the exit - which I thought was smart. And then he sat down near the window, and I plopped down beside him with a sigh. There was a long pause where there was no speaking. People shuffled around us and bags were put away. Others sat down and when it finally quieted down, the whistle blew and we started forward again.

The scenery outside went by slowly at first and then sped up as we gained speed. And then everything was a blur as we pulled far out of the station's site. A good five minutes into the trip a man came by to punch tickets. I pulled mine out and handed it to him and he held his hand out for the boy to hand his over.

*~21~*

[Rain]

The boy with the ticket puncher came by. After I gave mine to him to punch, I turned to talk to the girl. But, I found nothing to say. "Hey. Do you want to play a game called Truth? It's when I ask you a question, and you have to answer-truthfully- and then you ask me a question too. If you -or I- refuse to ask a question, you win. But only if you answer the question I ask you. But, the thing about this game, is that it can get very ugly. I would know about your deepest darkest secrets, and you mine."  
I explain the game as simple as possible.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and let it out slowly, thankful for our safe departure. This is what I'd wanted, right? So why did it feel so...weird? I shook my head and glanced out the window. The trees and grass that flew by made me sort of dizzy, but at the same time mesmerized so that I couldn't look away. It was so beautiful.

The boy's voice startled me back to the present. I jerked my head in his direction, worried that something had happened, but then his words finally registered with me. I didn't necessarily smile, but I didn't look upset. "Alright. But if I play with you, I get to go first, okay?"

*~22~*

[Rain]

"Okay, but we don't tell others our answers. Okay?" I say. I was waiting for her to ask her first question, when the train stopped at an other stop. I held her up one finger, to motion to not talk yet, 'cause someone could be eavesdropping and report us to the driver of the train. Once the train was moving, I motioned for her to ask her question.

I watched his face as he smiled and agreed. The moment he mentioned not to tell anyone else, my head was swinging up and down in total agreement. If he told a single person about anything...and then a thought dawned on me. Why was I able to trust him? I'd only met him recently, hadn't I? I shrugged and stayed silent while his finger was up. This was the second last stop before they would head into country and not be disturbed for a while.

His hand dropped and I smiled, already ready to ask my first question. "Simple one. What's your full name?" I hadn't known his full name, just that his first name was Len.
