Chapter Six

A thump on the door woke Alita from her peaceful sleep. She bolted up and went straight for the door. She looked through the peephole to see a distorted sight. She backed up a bit and gave herself time to calm down before opening the door with a frown. “What’s wrong, Jansen?” Alita asked innocently as she tilted her head to the side.

Jansen looked to Alita, seeing her in her white night gown. “Turn the TV to channel six, hurry,” Jansen ordered, pushing her inside slightly as he shut the door behind him.

Alita did as she was told, immediately going to the TV and turning it on with a push of a button. She then hurried to the remote that was on the nightstand and flipped it to channel six. She glanced at Jansen as she realized the news was on.

“Just listen to what it says, Alita. Trust me, you should hear about this,” Jansen said seriously as he let out a silent breath, noticing her tense

On the television, a woman with glossy black hair and tan skin was speaking. She then turned the audience’s attention to a man at a different desk. As the screen switched over to the man, two pictures showed up next to his head. One of Alita and one of Jansen.

“Thank you, Rebecca. As you heard only moments ago, two teenagers from Rushana Academy have run away. The two teenagers, Alita Brown and Jansen Koren, were seniors at the academy. Alita is a girl of seventeen, who’s highly advanced for her age. She has black hair to her knees and violet eyes. Jansen is a blonde male of eighteen that has blue eyes. Both students are possibly dangerous. The children have been spotted at Russian and Finnish boarders. No one is positive as to where they are headed, but there is a reward to any who can capture the two and return them without causing harm. Both students are greatly missed by their parents,”

At that moment, he turned to a couple, “Miss and Mister Brown, is there anything you would like to say about your daughter?”

“Oh, yes. We would like to say that Alita isn’t a bad child! She wouldn’t even hurt a fly, but we deeply miss her and want her back in our arms. It hurts to know my poor baby ran away from such a nice school! Please, oh, please, Alita, if you can hear me, come home!” the women said as she sobbed into her husband’s right shoulder.

The man tried to comfort his wife as he looked to the reporter. “I’d give my soul to have my child back,” was the only thing husband said to anyone but his wife.

“Parents!? Those two aren’t my parents! I don’t even know those two! I know what my mother looks like and that’s not my mother!” Alita screamed, not realizing it until she got that ‘Are you alright?’ look from Jansen. “I’m sorry, but their not my parents. And I’m outraged that they would hire someone that doesn’t even know me to be my ‘parents’ for the news. I’d bet my life that Ms. Ganda hired them,” Alita added quickly to try and make him believe that she wasn’t hurt about the act, just mad.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. You need to get dressed. We need to start moving tonight. Who knows how long it’s going to be until the guards are on us. We need to break for the beach. We’ll take a boat to Sweden. We’ll then travel by land until we get to the southern most point. Then we’ll ask a fisherman to take us to Germany. But we need to move quickly. It’s going to take a couple of days to clear the land to the sea, and I’m not sure how much time we have,” Jansen said softly, waiting for her to have a more serious attitude. “I’ll wait outside, alright? Fizzy is in my pack outside the door, so don’t worry about him,” Jansen added with a smile then left the room.

Alita didn’t hesitate to get changed. She switched from her white nightgown to her faded blue jeans and forest green tank top. She pulled on her hiking boots and stuffed her gown into her traveling pack before slinging it over her shoulder. She walked to the door with a slight hum coming from her lips. She tossed her room key to Jansen after stepping out.

“I’ll be back in a flash. I’ll meet you at the entrance to the town,” Jansen said quickly as he dashed off to the main office to return their keys before anyone noticed who they were from the news.

It wasn’t long before Jansen met Alita at the entrance arch. They walked through and started their way to the west.
