"Jane! Jane!! Jane!!! Wake up" Cassie said almost whispering, Cassie is Jane's best friend they've known each other almost all their lives,12 years to be exact, Jane just turned 16 and Cassie is 10 months older, they both met at the orphanage they currently live in.
Today they had both planned on escaping the orphanage they were tired of life here, apart from the food that's never enough and the rag they wear called clothes, not like they were complaining or anything, they were grateful to these people that have taken them in all their lives but they wanted more, they want a better life, they want to go to school and experience and enjoy life and the orphanage won't let them leave unless someone comes and adopts them or marry them off, so they thought and now it was time to escape and Jane won't just wake up, what a bad sleeper Cassie thought.
"Jane wake up for God's sake it's already 2 am It's time to go don't you want to leave this place"
"Allow me to sleep a little more will you, just leave me alone," Jane said with her eyes half closed, she was a bad sleeper, Cassie pulled Jane's ears so badly that she almost passed out
"Ouch ouch alright fine I will get up" Jane said
"Better for you now to hurry up wear your slippers and let's leave" Cassie said.
"Ain't we going to take anything?" Jane asked.
"No, you dummy we can't take anything if not they will realize we are gone before we can even run far now just hurry up"
"Alright am done let's go"
The girls sneak fast to the other girls in the room there were almost 20 in each room, Cassie had stolen one of the gate keys duplicates yesterday when no one was looking, how she had managed to do that Jane still wondered, they successfully got past everything not like they were any security of sort except old grumpy mr jack but he must be sleeping soundly by now, not like anyone would have thought that two teenage girls would try to run away, so why to stay awake?
"Cassie, are you sure we should do this?" Jane said from behind
"Don't tell me you are scared?" Cassie asked and Jane nodded looking horrified.
"Jane we are doing this and there's no turning back, don't worry we will be fine I promise" Cassie took Jane's hands and squeezed
"All alright ready here goes," Cassie said
"All alright let go," Jane said.
Cassie opened the gate and the two girls rushed out, Cassie locked the gate and threw the keys back into the compound, now there was no turning back, the two girls looked at each other and left, they had no idea where they were heading to but they have saved enough from the little errands they run at the community service every year, whenever some rich folks come around the orphanage and give them items some always give them money, well Jane is always lucky with that one you cannot just resist her charm, she's just too sweet, which makes everyone wonder why she was never adopted and of course, the money Cassie always sneak into her pocket, she's a wild one.
Even though the money won't last more than a month they plan on finding a job by then, so they can pick up their pieces going forward. Everywhere was still dark but they had to leave they had no phone or any means of communication not like they had anyone to communicate with, but Cassie had a torch she was always ready, she put it on and they used it to navigate their way
"Cassie, what's the plan?" Jane asked
"Well I don't really have a plan but we just have to keep walking till we are sure we walked far enough then we can find a place to rest okay? Just follow me" Cassie said.
"Yes madam" Jane said and They continued walking for almost 2 hours.
"Cassie am tired" Jane said with her hands on her knees
"I am too but we have to keep going" Cassie said almost panting
"Okay but just a little bit more what's the time?" Jane asked.
"It's 2 minutes past 4 once it's 4:30 am we will stop okay?" Cassie asked and Jane nodded.
"Ouch ouch" Jane wailed in pain, Cassie stopped in her tracks and looked back
"Jane, what is it?" She quickly ran over to her and saw her bleeding on the foot
"It hurts ouch ouch ahh ahh" she continued shouting as tears flowed down her cheek, she got cut by a broken bottle or glass
"Sorry Jane now what do we do? We have to find a place to hide come on Jane hop on my back" Cassie carried Jane on her back and in about 15 minutes they found a spot it was an alley there was nobody in view. Cassie laid Jane on her back, she tore her skirt and used it in wrapping the wound to stop the bleeding.
"Jane stay right here I will be back I need to buy some medicine so you don't grow a fever"
"No Cassie you can't leave me here there's nobody here am scared," Jane said.
"I won't take long I promise, just don't move I will be right back" Cassie said.
"All alright" Jane nodded.
"Please Cassie come back," Jane said
"I will I promise and I won't take long" With that Cassie left
