Preparing to Run

I knew I had to be careful, think things through, and take my time. I had to do this right or I would be caught before I got away. So from the day after thanksgiving till two days after Christmas I planed and thought and got everything together that I thought I would need. And this is what I did.

     First of all I decided since I was the one who was sold I should get some of the money to help fund the escape.  Besides my mother like to go shopping and spend so much money she wouldn't be able to keep track. Every time we went shopping I would use my card so I could take out an extra hundred or so to help the cause. First thing I did was go to the next town and open a new bank account. I put all of the money I got from the joint account and most of the money from my personal account into the new account. I left enough in my other account that my mother wouldn't notice and think something was up. I also opened a p.o box in Crescent City that day as well. Then I went to see my boss Sara. I knew I could trus her and I needed to talk to someone. I told her everything and boy did she get pissed.

     First she offered to beat them all. I laughed told her no thanks, Then she offered to let me stay with her. But I said no again because I didn't want to put her in the middle of all this. But she was still willing to help Me any way she could. First she transferred me to the other end of the beach(and that was two miles away) in case they came looking for me. She took me to a car dealership and helped me buy a van. We both thought it would be good space wise when I ran. She took me to a camping supply store in Grants Pass Oregon. It was a store she used a lot and we both agreed it would be best to go to places they would not go to. Sara helped me find a tent that was easy for me to put up and take down by myself. She also helped me find a portable bathroom. I got an ice chest, a fishing pole and some gear. We also found some blankets good for camping and clothes made for the outdoors. Then we went to a store so far beneath them that we didn't have to worry about seeing them. We went to Wal-Mart. We got totes to store the stuff in. As well as totes to store my other stuff in. I got a few more clothes, and some things for entertainment. Then we headed back to Crescent City and Sara took me to a storage unit company owned by her family. She set me up with a 4×8 foot room so that I could save anything I wanted. We put the room under her name so no one would find it and we put all the extra totes in there so I had room in the van. Before we took the van back to her place we took it to a place where the installed a safe under the back seat, that way I could safeoh stow money and things in the car and not worry so much. Then I caught the bus home like I always did.

     I am so glad my mother likes to shop. Because when she wasn't at work she was at the stores. While she was gone Sara and I moved everything of mine out of the attic and into the storage unit. Then I moved everything my father gave me into the storage unit. I didn't want to loose any of that. The only things left in the house or in my room were my clothes and the things my mother had recently gotten for me. All of this took us two and a half weeks, for the rest of the time I played the obedient daughter.

     For the two weeks leading to Christmas Steven took me to several parties. I don't know if I was being paranoid or what but I refused to eat or drink anything. I just didn't trust him anymore, not after everything I heard. Mother also had several parties as well. None of them were as big as my birthday party so I guess the focus was no longer on me. That made me very happy.

    Finally it was Christmas Eve. Mother had yet another party. This one was very small. Just my mother. Me. Steven, and his parents. This was not going to be a good night for me I could tell.

       To start with everyone was drinking but me. Everyone tried to get me to drink but I flat out refused. No one was happy with me after that. Dinner was a quiet affair after that. Then I caught Stevens father sprinkle something over my pie so I knew not to eat that.

     We decided to eat dessert in the front room so as everyone was getting comfortable I mentioned presents and Steven and his father went out to the car to get theirs. Mother went into the other room to get ours and luckily Stevens mom had to go to the restroom. So when everyone left I switched plates with my mother's and hurried to join her in getting the gifts. We got back to the table first and sat down to wait. Then Stevens mother came in next. We started talking but she started wondering where they were. Just as she started to stand up they came in. So we ate our pie and exchanged gifts then they went home.

     A half hour later Steven came back over. My mother went to bed and we sat down to watch t.v. I wanted to know what was up so I acted like I fell asleep about a half hour into the show. He waited another ten minutes before he tried to get his hands down my pants. I rolled away and he had to start again. We played this game for an hour before he finally gave up and left. I waited for his car to leave the yard then got up and locked the place down. I checked on my mother she was sound asleep she didn't respond to anything I did. I guess now we know what the powder on the pie was for. I really need to get the hell out of here before things get any worse.

     Luckly Christmas day went off without any issues. The day after Christmas my mother and I went out for a huge shopping trip, and I managed to get another three thousand dollars for my escape. After we split up for the day I called Sara and we got the last of my stuff into storage.

    The next day I planned to make my escape and go into hiding.
