When the morning came...

The small girl wake up from noises coming from bird singing or maybe car that ride not far away from her bush.

But then she realise she was actually in a park. She put her plush and blanket back inside her bag and got out of the green leaf with small branch place with her bag.

She could see kids playing not far away with their parents watching them happily while sitting on a bench or standing still if the kids fall. She was jealous that she never got parents like that. This caring and lovely to her.....

Her stomach suddenly growl. She must be hungry from the run She made yesterday. She had to found food and lucky for her there is a stand of hot dog right at the exist of the park. She got over there has her mouth let out some saliva. She truly needed some food. But the man that is behind the stand won't give it to her for free. She had to pay with money. Which she don't have.

She think on what to do to Get money. But sadly nothing came. Only a small voice in her brain told her to steal the food and run fast for her life after doing that. But she don't want to do that. She know it's very bad to do something like that. Whereas her stomach keep growling at her. She had to, or else she will end up dying from hunger.

The hot dog man on the stand was watching her with an eye brow raised.

- Are you that hungry little girl? Where is your parents by the way?

She look to the man with fear. Small sweat start to appears on her forehead. She won't be able to steal the food if the man is looking at her. 'Think... Think... Think of something to do to distract him!'screamed the small voice in her head.The little girl then point to a certain direction with her finger. The man look to that direction curious, but then confusion came when he see no one there.

- what? There is no one there little girl... Hey!

He notice that the girl was gone and see that she has stole a sausage from his stand. He sigh and scratch his head after he move off the cap on his head.

- Kids this days...

After stealing from the hot dog man, the girl was eating the sausage like a wild animal. Since now she left her house that was a prison.. She has to survive this world. But the question is... How long?

Only after hours of thinking in a barrel she found has a good hide out.. She notice that she has been moved from where she is... And the problem now is on what she was on?

She look through the small hole from the barrel to see what was going on. She could see that she was in an absolutely darkness. She shakes from big fear. From the dark she could see form and she do not know what those belong to. But she is sure that if she don't get out from the barrel. She is safe. Well except if someone decide to open it...

She got a tight hold on her bag.
She must wait for the light to come back. If she try to get out who knows if some monster see her and would want to eat her?

----------------

A big stirling and loud noise suddenly came.

- Everyone Get ready to set the stuff and food in the stock room of the master house!

-Yes sir!

The small girl wake up at that moment. Guess she had fell asleep from waiting for a good moment to go out of her barrel. But she still have to wait. 'What is going? Am I being moved again?'she though with curiosity. She could hear like a big door being open suddenly, then it close pretty quick.

- I think we put everything.. Now let's go deliver the rest of stuff to another stock room.

- yeah. This room is pretty full and I'm sure the master will love the good 'breuvage' we got from this country.

-eh, if you say so. The master is not a big alcohol guy. But he do enjoy to have drink when he eat.

The small girl open a little the barrel to look around and see that the two man she heard talking came from outside the room she was in. She silently got out with the bag in her arms. 'Where am I now? And who is this person called 'master'? I want to know...'she though again has she take some step over the big door.

-I can't reach it..

She whispered sadly. Suddenly an idea came in her mind when she look to some carton box. She had to put down her bag to be able to take an carton box and put it in front of the door. After she step on it she was able to reach the handle of the door.

-I am a genius!

She said happily has she grab her bag before she walk out of the stock room. She may have got out too fast. 'Cause she did not carefully look if there was someone in her way. There was a group of man right next to her that was actually taking a break.

- uh? Why there is a kid here?

She froze and look to them afraid. 'Oh no...'

- Hey! Did any of you have check the stuff before putting it in the boat!?

- um... I don't know? Isn't that the job of Steve to do that?

The group argue again each other for not have pay attention on checking the stuff. This let the time to the small girl to run away and go hide somewhere.

- Guys! Guys! Stop! Did you see where that kid went?

They all stop arguing and start looking around.

- no?

- Shit....

- Let's go quickly found her! If the master knows a kid is here.... We are dead.

- Easy to say for you... A kid can be good at hide and seek! Especially if they are small!

- Not a they... But a She. Did you not all see that she is a poor small girl?

- We don't care about what gender that kid is! We have to catch them in due time! Now go tell everyone to stop what they do and search for the kid!!!

- *sigh.* Fine....

While every man that work on the boat had left the stuff and was searching for the kid... The child in question was founding a way out by the vent. She was small so.. She fit in without having problem. While all the man are getting hopeless, the girl found this funny somehow. 'They won't found me... Eh eh! I am so smart!'she snickers a little. She continue to wander on in the vent. In the end she could see a different place. 'What is that? It look more redder and there is some picture stick on the walls...' She decide to get out of the vent since she don't see anyone coming here for her. She get the dust off of her and sneezed a little when she done that.

- I hate dust... It always tickles my nose..

She then look to the people on the pictures on the walls. They seem to be very serious.. It's like the girl had enter a place where criminals could live in somehow. But she was not very sure of that when she saw a child smiling between two tall man. The child on the picture look more like a cartoon cat or maybe it's a demon? She shake her head from that though. She need to get out of that place. And quick. But wait... Why does she need to escape? She was not in danger right now right? Or maybe she is... From the group of man that might work for that person called 'master'.

Looks like she was lost. Like if she should stay here hidden to survive this place, or go outside and try to either survive the town.

It's two choice that make her fear that If she do one of that option she might end up with death.

To be continue....
