I wake up the next morning to hear the birds chirping their morning song. I get up, pull some fresh clothes on, and wander into the kitchen where a hearty breakfast of eggs, bacon and toast await me. Indiana and Matthew are alreay sitting down, helping themselves to the eggs.

"Morning, Anna!" Calls Indiana, gesturing for me to sit down.

After eating breakfast, checking the newspaper for anymore reports on Ash ("phew!") and making my bed, Matt and I procede to the bakery.

Once we reach it, we notice it's gone eerily silent. The lights are out. Then we notice the door has been kicked in.

Matt turns a shade whiter. We push the door slightly, to find the whole store has been robbed. Smashed. Ruined.

This time, Matt redens with anger. Someone has broken in over night. The bread is missing . The oven is smashed. Glass drowns the floor. The cash register, forced open, the money gone. I feel myself being engulfed in anger. Who would do this? They might as well have fired Matt, because he career surely couldn't continue with the bakery like this. It was ruined.

Matt leans down and picks up a broken plank of wood. He sniffles. "We might as well go home now." He grunted. I went to ask who would do such a thing, but the look on his face stopped me. It was miserable, yet furious. Someone had taken away all of his years of hard work in merely one night.

We get home and tell Indiana what happened. Then we go and report to local town police. They give us enough money to ensure us for two months, in which in that time he would be expected to find a job.

By the time we get home, it's late afternoon. Were home i find myself thinking. No, Aria, this isn't home. This is just where you're hiding. I need to remember that.

We eat dinner in silence. Once we finished, Indiana took our plates. "We wont be able to start up the buisness again for about eighteen months. Well have to find a job elsewhere."

Then the truth sank in. I would have to stay here for another year and a half until I would have enough money to travel to Eboodale. I would have to run away. Or stay. I must leave soon, but then there was Indiana Matthew to think about. I couldnt leave them after all they've done for me! So what now? I need to leave to find Ash.

But i cant leave here. Indiana an Matthew have been so nice to me. So what now? I repeat in my head. Thats the question. What now...
