Four walls are all I have ever known even though I'm free it always feels like I am trapped and afraid. I am always wondering if someone is lurking behind that tree or that house or driving in that car so that they can kidnap me and rip me from these four walls and put me into a new one that holds a worse fate then the last.

Lavender was just four years old when she was kidnapped and sold, but she's free now and she can do whatever she wants but she can't really because she still feels confined in four walls no matter where she goes.

Finally Free

Once I woke up, I found Radley with trays of food set on the table. 


I abruptly get up as I notice the time. 


"We missed the meeting with my family," I say seriously and shake my head, "they are going to lose trust in me too." Radley's eyes show no emotion and he is distant until Cosmos wakes up with a shock. He rubs his hands over his eyes as he makes his way to the small, makeshift, table. I follow while glancing at Radley from time-to-time. 


After an hour, I say, "Is no one going to address this whole situation?" Cosmos smirks at me while Radley rubs his temples. 


"Anthurium," Cosmos says casually, "you were never supposed to find out so why should I say anything now?" "Maybe because it involves me," I say matter-of-factly. Radley sighs, "Sorry Cosmos, I messed up." Cosmos shakes his head, "It doesn't matter anymore, but I better head home after this season and your marriage otherwise we will have something to be concerned about."
