Chapter 5

6:30 pm

Ok you got this...

I thought to myself while lifting my hand to push open the saloon double doors

I looked down at the gown I was wearing. It looked... Well it looked like a dress you'd see in a old western movie. It was absolutely gorgeous!

I can't say I felt that great in it. I kinda stole it. Well More like borrowed it without permission.

I can't just be walking around in my Pjs now can I?

Besides ill make sure to give it back to that laundry line hanging behind that farm as soon as I can figure a way out of here.

And that's my plan. I have to find a way out of here.

This town is a town that won't let anyone leave, it terrified me. They don't even know that they are prisoners here!

So my job is to find out why, but more importantly how?

Once I can figure that out, maybe I can get out of here!

I need to get out here, I spent the last 2 hours hyperventilating in the woods, before I finally calmed myself down. I NEED to get out of here!

I will blend in, get to know people. Find out things about this town and it's past. There has got to be someone who knows something and is willing to talk.

I took a deep breath before opening the door.

This time instead of everyone stoping and starring they just continued with what they were doing. It was as if they did not even notice I was there.. I can't say I wasn't grateful.

In the middle of the room was something that caught my eye.

It was that guy called Leo. He was seated at his piano and was playing the most beautiful melody that I never heard before.

Ever since I was a little girl the piano has always been my favorite instrument. Iv always wanted to learn but never had the time or money for lessons.

The way his fingers rolled over the keys was amazing. He simply looked one with the piano.

He finished playing and glanced up at me. It was safe to say he noticed me staring.

"Well if it isn't you again. Are you going to tell me your name or are you going to run out the door again like a chicken with its head cut off?"

I know it was a joke. I know I should have Laughed but there was nothing funny about my situation.

His smile faded as he noticed my reaction

"Lana, the names Lana"

"What a lovey name miss Lana."

He stated as he took my hand and planted a kiss on it. Heat rushed to my cheeks immediately.

"My name is Leo. But I recall already mentioning that to you" he said dropping his hand from mine.

" yes you did. But I..." I started to say.

"Well well. Look what we have here"

I glanced over at the voice that cut me off midsentence.

It was Cole, that guy i ran into in the street, with a smug look on his face as he made his way to us from the other side of the saloon.

My fists clenched at my side, remembering, that he called me a wench...

"Howdy cole, How are you these days?" Leo asked as he extended out his hand to Cole.

He took it and they shook hands

"Fine just fine"

"Miss Lana this is Mr Cole Gavis. Cole is this is miss Luna"

Leo introduced us trying to be polite as possible.

"Oh no that's not necessary. We already bumped into one another this morning"

He said as he looked at me with a sarcastic grin as he walked away and out the door.

I rolled my eyes

"So as I said before what are you in town for?" Leo asked

Ok, You worked this out in your head before just stick to your story...

"My father passed away awhile back so it's just been me and my mom. But money Is tight at home so I took it upon myself to earn money to send home to my mother..."

"I am sorry for your loss miss Luna"

Leo offered his condolence.

I nodded in thanks

"I can offer you work if you would like. We have needed the extra pair of hands at the bar for a long time."

"Are you offing me a job?"

"If you'll take it"

"YES!! Of corse!!

"Good you can start first thing in the morning. Do you require residence?"

Residence? Oh he means a place to live.

"Yes a place to sleep that isn't a barn would be fantastic!" I answered honestly.

"Well, the rooms upstairs don't usually house honest women..." He blushed slightly.

Oh, that's right, prostetution is still legal.

I shuddered to myself.

"But the room directly above us is vacant, it's not much but...."

"Thank you!!" I said cutting him of in excitement and almost threw my arms around him in thanks.

The saloon is the perfect place to work. After all this is were most of the people came. I could inquire about this place without drawing any suspicion to myself.

Iv got to get home!!!
