So it's that night, and the moonlight was well past the black slate floor tile… Rose's door opened with a creak as she stepped out into the moon-filled corridor. Emilia's cell door was already cracked open, and her room was empty when Rose looked.

Rose figured Emilia must already be in the cafeteria. So she very quietly snuck down to the cafeteria as quickly as she could. She could sense Lisa behind her. “Why are you following me?” She whispered as quietly as she could muster. ‘I’m stuck here too you know.’ “What about Jennie? Can’t she follow me, I haven’t seen her in a while.” ‘She’s still mad at you, but if you look hard enough you might be able to see her in the distances of places.’ “How many time do I need to tell you I didn’t do it.” Rose saw the door to the cafeteria and walked in.

Emilia reached out and gently tapped Rose's shoulder. "Don't scream. I was waiting behind the door in case someone walked in. I need the bobby pin, and I could lockpick the back door in the kitchen."

Rose jumped but didn’t scream, she quickly got out the bobby pin and handed it over. She couldn’t believe freedom was right through the window, freedom that allowed her to eat and drink without any abuse.

Emilia led her silently to the kitchen and unlocked the lock with deft hands. She paused and looked around, and started taking the bread off of the counters. Then she led her friend out of the back door and to the grimy pipe all the way in the dark yard. "Just through here, if I've mapped it right, is a lake, which is just a mile away from a town."

“Are you ready for freedom, the real food, real water, a chance at a normal life?” Rose said so full of hope.

Emilia nodded slowly. "I suppose I am." She gave Rose some bread to hold and started sprinting towards the pipe as fast as she could. Malnourished she was, the intent of getting out of a personal hell sent adrenaline running through her veins; making her feel more alive than ever.

Rose took the bread and headed after Emilia, not once thinking about anything else besides getting to that pipe. Her only intention was get to that pipe, not knowing what she would do once she got out.

Emilia led her into the pipe and carefully tread through the reeking silence. "There's going to be a fall, soon, so brace yourself." Her voice sounded a few minutes into the treck.

“Ok.” Rose had been bracing herself for anything unexpected since the second stepped foot in the pipe. She had also been whispering an occasional comment to Lisa every now and then, not knowing if Emilia heard her or was just ignoring that fact from being in an asylum for so long.

(I’m going to sleep now)

(I went to sleep too xD)

"Alright… jump a little to your right when you hear a splash, okay?" Emilia gave no warning to what the splash would be and leaped out of the pipe into a shallow end of the lake. It made a spectacular splash in the lake, and it rippled the moonlight and water.

Rose heard the splash so she leaped to the right, just as Emilia said. Rose had become engulfed in water, creating a beautiful slpash. But thankfully she knew how to swim, so she started to tread water looking for Emilia.

Emilia looked over her shoulder. "You leaped too little. I'm over here!" She set the bread down which she was holding and waved her arms around, a few feet ahead of Rose, knee deep in water.

Rose saw Emilia and swam the short distance to her so that she could stand. “Ok, so now what do we do? It’s not like we have any place to go.” It just occurred to Rose that there was more parts to the escape after this.

"Yes, but we may be able to walk into the forest, and perhaps find a cottage." Emilia clambered out of the water and looked around. "I'm not sure if this lake belongs to anything, or where we are… but we're free! We've escaped!"

Rose followed Emilia, shaking off when she got out of the water. “Won’t the asylum come looking for us?” She pulls her long hair up into a bun, hoping it will stay without a hair tie.

"Maybe for myself, but if we move fast enough, we can go somewhere else. For now, we should lay down in the woods until dawn." Emilia pointed over and started to walk over to the treeline.

Rose yawned at the thought of sleeping. “Ya, sleep is a good idea.” She could see Lisa leaning against a tree nearby, also soaking wet.

Emilia climbed a tree and rested among the large branches, feeling cold and not to mention soaked from the waist down.

Rose went over to another tree a started to climb it, realizing the she’s never climbed a tree before. She struggled to get up the tree but when she did, the was a slight breeze making cooler.

The leaves were soft and a pretty green color in the moonlight, which was probably why Emilia climbed up in the first place. Soon, the pair had dozed off in the shivery night, and it was a beautiful morning.

The next morning Rose woke from almost falling out of the tree. She was happily dried by now. The sun was barely up and she figured Emilia would probably already be up. So she climbed down almost falling the entire way.

Emilia was sitting at the bottom, eating some bread that she salvaged. She looked up at Rose as she almost killed herself and grinned a little.
"Morning." Her voice sounded stronger already.

“Morning.” Rose fell a foot from the ground, she could hear Lisa laughing,so she glared at her. “So what’s our plan for today?”
