The cold wind blew in her face. Dusk had just started to fall, hours had gone and the wind turned to snow which made it impossible for her to try an sleep. Her phone beeped, looking at the screen was like looking directly at the sun. It was a text message, it read "you thought you could hide, but games are over. Found you. Coming ready or not". SHe layed there for a while wondering what to do then a noise came from the bushes. She sits up right and her eyes dart around for an escape route. She was positive it was him. Her dads voice kept circiling round and round in her head till she finally snapped out of his trance. The noise became louder, she wanted to run but her body froze once again. She felt her skin get tighter and her ears prick up as her dad got closer. She saw a flash of red and two glittering spots in the gap where she had been stairing for hours. Dusty's heart jumped as a fox scarmbled from the other side of the small enclosur of bushes. She sighed with relief and managed to slip away into a manner of calm sleep. She woke up to a cold breeze on her face, the other nights events still embroided in her head. She sat up, her dad is still out there. Why would he wait this long? Why couldn't he just kill her now? Her mind keeps jumping back to them dreadful days. It was all so vivid, the smell of his alchoholic breath, the taste of blood, the sound of his voice. Just when she thinks she was getting strong, her mind keeps jumping back to them days. The vunrability makes her shudder and she came back from his trance.
Monday morning and her head lies on her desk, the room is silence. Romours spread like wildfire and were true. She felt the eyes of people peering at her and whispering. "dusty! I didn't see you on Friday! Where were you?!" Dusty turned her head and said "I was in, I wanted a quiet night in" Sophie's face looked baffled. Sophie was one of her bestfriends, how could she not tell her the truth? She sank back into her seat. " I didn't hear from you all weekend? You okay... I mean at home?"
"Everything is FINE at home!!! What are you saying?! Even if things were bad then why would I tell you?! It's none of your business!" Dusty grabbed her bag and blazer and stormed out of her form room. She ran down the stairs and to the link way and stopped. This is exactly what he wanted. She saw a woman, a friend, her savior and her heart dropped. She has a weakness that this special lady had over Dusty. Mrs Williams looked up and straight a Dusty's terrified face. She turned left and ran straight out, ignoring all of the people beside her. Se got to the gates of her school and stopped outside. Her legs went weak and she started sobbing. Lying there in the snow had opened her mind and changed her. She stood up and walked back into school. She is no longer this goody girl who no one knows about. She must cause trouble. Dusty walked into school with her head held high for the first time in a long time. Skirt rolled up, make up on and ready to be known. " Dusty! It's nice of you to join us" she walked into maths with and slamed her bag down on the table.
