The stream was about five minutes away and I immediately jumped in and tore my dress off and let it float downstream.

True to Aubrey's words there were some clean clothes and I quickly put them on and continued my journey.

I don't know how far I ran but I ran until I came to a busy street and from the smell that assaulted my nose I knew it was dominated by humans. I can blend in here and no one will ever find me.

I made my way over to the payphone but cursed when I realized I didn't have any money on me.

'Are you okay dear?" I heard a woman ask from behind me and I turned and gave her a small nod.

'I am thank you." I said with a small smile.

'I think I have a few coins here if you need one," she said as she rummaged through her purse and handed me a quarter. 'You look like you're lost."

I've been helping out at his grocery store to earn my keep and so far I haven't heard or even seen a single person from my old pack. I'm finally free and it feels so good although it hasn't stopped me from glancing over my shoulder every time.
