I once heard trust was obtained by friendship.
Then I realized they were lying.

It's been about 4 hours now. I am no longer in that hell place I used to call a town. I succeeded in leaving, now I just have to stay that way. Many strangers eyes are staring at me and my belongings, I don't care, I'll just ignore them and keep walking. My feet are starting to hurt, and I'm growing weary. I feel like I had after that one time, when my parents dragged me to the market square to auction off meaningless items for 8 hours straight. I got a grand total of 3 copper coins that day. Joy.

I've finally made it past the border of the state. Still a long way to Brook Village, though. I'm trying my best to hide my face now. My parents are probably sending out a search party by now, and I don't want them to know I've gone south. My sister is probably getting ready for her marriage in a few weeks.
I won't be attending, obviously. I've left for one reason: To get away. And I'm very close to doing just that.

"Say something, please...we've come too far to lose everything now!"
