Silence

RUNAWAY

Lillian Linton, normally so full of energy. Now, looking at the train window with sad eyes, as she recalls the horrible things her ex-employer said. Those, horrible and hurtful words that seem to keep on echoing into her mind. It's so hurtful that she wants to hurl a vase at him when she sees him again.

If you ever see him again, her annoying subconscious fired.

Lilly simply ignores her inner voice and looks at the scenery before her. The train's fast motion makes all of nature's colors blend into one. Not like boring old London, where everything is grey, where everything is painfully awful. Lilly remembered the time when she was dressed as a man, when she made that mistake of curtsying to a gentleman. Well, not everything in London is so boring after all. Maybe she should just be a criminal, running after the Police officers, hiding in dark alleys, fist fights with men and of course, Pig Ears

Lilly chuckled, at the memories. But now, I must wake up from this beautiful dream, I must go back to London and face society. Probably get married to some bloke, have children and die. But the memories, she wouldn't forget about them. Maybe she could tell her children someday! Tell them all about her adventures with her dark and handso—no!

Telling her future children about her employer would only give them nightmares. It is better if she leaves him out. Maybe turning him into a dog, her dog companion! One that is strong, dark and handsome. His eyes would be the color of the sea, he would be fearless, and courageous and he wouldn't go around telling everyone false information about her!

Lilly is not even sure if she would reach London. Her money was only enough to buy her a ticket at the edge of the border. She would probably find a way to get to London, she always finds away. But she does not want to go back to London, she wants to go some else far and wide. But she knows she has to rest. Because the pain is draining her energy, her whole being. Also, if she were to run, what would be the point if she has nowhere else to go?

Lilly sighed and focused her attention to the window, a huge field laid before her. Thousands of golden wheat swaying with the wind. She longs to run into the fields someday. She would be laughing and having the time of her life. But right now, all the suffragette wants is to sleep, those dreams of freedom would take a lot of work, she needs all the rest. Lilly shuts her eyes, just as she shuts her dreams, for now.

A few hours later...

The booming and sudden sound of the train whistle roused Lilly from her sleep. The sky turned a shade darker, fewer people are on the train. They will be arriving at the next station soon, which is exactly at the boarder. It is already dusk, and Lilly would have no choice but to sleep in one of the benches, and find a way in the morning.

Being robbed is the least of her concern as she has nothing but her disguise and a few trinkets from her travels. Just like the fake wedding ring her ex-employer sneakily gave to her in the shores of Egyptian waters.

The locket which held nothing but the coordinates to her ex-employer's diamond tunnels, or the key which she did not understand the importance and asked her ex-employer a thousand times and told her that it was a key to something important. Lilly didn't care anymore, she could even sell the ring to get money for a ticket to London. Maybe sell the locket to some lovesick bloke or give the key, it could be a key to his vault for all she knows. But she doesn't give a rat's ass anymore.

Her ex-employee can go and choke on his money. Lilly wouldn't be surprised is her ex-employer would be in the front page of the tabloid someday.

A few moments pass as Lilly watched more passengers leave the train, stopping by in their homes where their family would welcome them with open arms. Lilly envied them, as she knows that her aunt might never let her step foot on their house again because she disappeared for a long time. It would take a few days and her aunt would let her in and once again find a suitable match for her. If that's what is in store for her she would rather stay in the train forever.

But she Lillian Linton, she never runs from a problem. Besides, she's barely running away from one. A person she would rather forget until the day she dies.

--------

I have the full list of reasons why I updated for a long time:
1. The argument, I got so upset about it, I kind of lost all the inspiration to write.
2. Don't worry, I gained inspiration and wrote a few hundred words, then I got distracted and lost track of what I was writing about.
3. Shrimps. I am allergic to shrimps. But I forgot, so I ate three shrimps like a messy pig that I am and now my throat's all itchy and I'm having a HARD time breathing. But it's okay, I'm kind of okay now.
4. Lack of free time. School is killing me, so does this stupid allergy.

But here I am typing/coughing my lungs out just to post this, because I didn't have the time to thank you all for the 7.k bomb that ya'll dropped on me. Seriously, this holy Ifrit fandom is awesome.
