h1>AMELIA’S P.O.V
I had no idea where I was going or where I was.
Once I got out of the house, I ran west. Growing up, I was always taught to find a river because most often than not, a river led to a town and from a town, I could find my way home. With tears in my eyes, I ran. I just wanted to be free, I didn’t care where I was going and I didn’t even realize how long I had been running.
I didn’t know how long Blake was going to be out and I knew I had only a little time before the guards came back so I ran. Thankfully, I still had my sneakers from when I was taken and it was well equipped for running.
I ran for hours and until I saw the sun begin to rise. It was only then that I rested a little and slowed down. I knew I must have given enough of a distance between Blake and I so I opened the bag and pulled out a bottle of water. It did little to soothe the burn in my throat but at least it would be enough.
