I went throughout the vent, it was about ten minutes of crawling and I felt my knee weaken. Damn it. I could hear rats squeaking. I hate rats. They are dirty little creatures... Well I think so. I just don't like them. I remember my nanny and her daughter, Dawn, all of a sudden and a feeling of hatred crawled on my veins again. Past- 16 years of age "Katerina... are you there?" I heard my nanny knock at the door. I opened my eyes as I smiled with joy. It was the first day of summer. Brother's coming home. "Yes, nanny." I said as I went to the door and opened it. She greeted me with an evil look, but that was always her look. I got used to it somehow. "Hmmm.... Take a bath." She said a her right eyebrow raised. I looked down and saw myself still in my jammies, I nodded and said, "Yes, nanny," I sighed, "but where are we going?" She scoffed and chuckled, "To Dawn's dance competition, of course!" Dawn, again... Why is it always her? I nodded and faked a smile, "Okay." I said with sorrow in my voice. After an hour of preparation she dragged me out of the house, Leo and I had plans, and she had to take me away. Evil bitch. I had enough. This is gonna be the last time... I hope. I texted Leo, I'm sorry, Leo. I can't go, I have plans with my dad. He just came home last night. Love you x And I had to lie. I don't want him to ask anymore questions about Dawn. I always felt a certain insecurity and jealousy... I don't want Leo to look at any other girls. --- As we arrive at Dawn's dance competition, nanny's face was enlightened. She didn't care for me at all. Like I was no one, just a person in the crowd. As the competition finished, we were backstage congratulating Dawn for her victory and we went to Nanny's apartment and Dawn took me in her room. "Kat, do you think I'm beautiful?" She asked as she sat down the chair, looking at the mirror. I nodded and smiled sincerely, "Beautiful as a flower." "Thank you." She blushed. I smiled at her as I brushed her long hair. But suddenly she stood up. "I have to get something. Could you wait here?" I looked at her in admiration. Such a pretty young lady but such a bitch. I nodded a yes. I sat there waiting for her to come back when suddenly she opened the door and threw a rodent at me. Two ******* rats. And it landed on my stomach. Dirty. Grey. It was so big. I screamed as loud as I can and ran to the door as the rats fell on the ground finding a way out. It was locked. ****** locked. Dawn... What did I over do to you...?
Out. Finally. I breathed in the wonderful smell of nature, the smell of the outside world. How I miss the sunlight. How I miss how the breeze pass through me. I miss everything and now... I'm free. I creeped slowly running away from the facility. There was still a gate to come through, but I always had a plan. At the side gate on the right, security definitely sucked. I climbed the tall wooded fence as I smiled with overwhelming joy. The knife almost fell but I managed to keep it on. "Umphf!" I groaned as my leg got caught on the sharp end of a bush, I scratched myself, but that didn't stop me from running. Running away from my life. Running away from the miserable thoughts has been keeping me in the institute. And how could I get better there...? Everyone talking about us like we're some inhumane people. Heh. Fuck them. I ran and ran, my White clothes were covered in dirt. It was far from civilisation. I had to find a ride. I had to... And then... he came.
