Chapter 2 Plan to escape

a few days after, late In the morning. Mrs. Wilson walked into Annabelle's room to wake her up from her unending sleep. She assumed Annabelle pretends purposely to delay time because she had informed her the previous day of their visits to the Stuart's

Annabelle who was still in deep sleep woke up slowly, feeling the light taps on her body. She rubbed her eyes slowly as her vision was still blurry.

"Annabelle, it's already so late in the morning. didn't I inform you we have somewhere to go?"

"Isn't it too early? I'm still very sleepy" She mumbled.

"you can have all the sleep you want another day, but today, not Al all. we're going out right now. I won't waste more time persuading you." she warned.

"I'll send the maid to help you get dressed." She said and left the room.

In the gigantic bedroom, on a big king-size bed in the middle of the bedroom.

Jason stretched his hand towards the direction of the sound. He reached for the phone which has been ringing since and picked it up. "Hello" he managed to speak

"Hey, Jason," The caller said out loudly, his excitement could be.

"Who is this?" he asked Calmly. He had picked up the call without checking the phone.

"I just found out you've returned to the county after so many years."

"Camil ?" he said, Jason was a popular person, but he had a few friends. and only his friends could speak to him casually. And camil Brown was one of them. Despite how many years they've been apart. They didn't lose contact with each other.

"yes, I arrived a few days ago."

"It's been ten years, I wonder what you look like now," Camil said, mockingly and Jason smiled.

"Oh! I forgot, the country's magazines are filled with ur pictures with the Actress, Rita Parker." He said again.

"Well, what do you want?" Jason asked, trying to change the subject.

"Nothing, I'll be going clubbing tonight, I think it's the best location for a reunion, what do you think?"

"text me the address," Jason said briefly and ended the call. He still laid on the bed for a while before standing up and going to the bathroom.

"Hello" A calm feminine voice spoke on the phone.

"Good morning Annabelle" the second caller replied. It was Anna's best friend, Jessica.

"Uhmmm, sorry to disturb you this early, are you at home or work?" Annabelle asked

"yes, you know I'm always at home, I stopped the part-time job already," Jessica said.

"really? why?"

"I'll give you an explanation when you come, I can't answer over the phone," Jess said.

Annabelle opened a big box from inside her wardrobe.

"I never thought I would have a reason to do this again" she picks up a blonde wig and a fa e-ups from the box. Annabelle used to cosplay and draw comics back in middle school. She wanted to

a few minutes after. Anna held up a mirror and stared at hersélf.

"Wow, I almost couldn't recognize myself!

Now I have to make an escape plan"

Anna learn makeup artistry during her college days, she always promised to assist Jessica with her makeup, when Jessica fulfils her dreams of becoming a famous actress.

Anna drew a blurry diagram of the mansion,

"There are three guards outside my door, if I could get through them, the rest wouldn't be a problem". She calculated. She was very determined to leave the mansion without being caught.

Katherine, her maid walked inside with her breakfast.

"ma'am, your makeup looks beautiful," She said and smiled.

"thank you"Anna replied.

Anna thought for a while, she brightened her face with a smile.

"Katherine, I need your help. please" she spoke out.

"Young miss, you don't have to plead, I'll do anything for you" Katherine replied innocently.

" I need your dress." She said and breathed deeply.

"My dress? Miss, I don't understand, you have many expensive clothes what do you need mine for?"

"yes, I do. but they aren't going to help me I. this situation" She spoke hurriedly.

it was a good thing Anna wore a blonde wig, Katherine also had blonde hair, so she could easily disguise herself.

She held Katherine both hands and rubbed it slowly, "please just help me, I promise you won't be in trouble."

"Ok! I'll help u" Katherine finally said.

"Katherine, I need you to lay down and cover yourself with the duvet and act like me."

Anna lowered her head as she passed by the guards, holding the tray. she walked through the hallway leading to the kitchen, avoiding eye contact with the other maids.

Walking as fast as she could, mistakenly bumped into someone. She turned to look as her eyes almost met with Mrs. Wilson's and she bowed her head immediately. "That was a close one." She thought as her heart beats fastly.

She cleared her throat.

"Good morning mu." She paused immediately and corrected herself. "Ma'am."She said, trying to sound like Katherine, and walked away hurriedly but Mrs. Wilson called her back. Recognizing her as Annabelle's maid. Katherine.

" Katherine, have u served Anna her breakfast? Since she refused to come down to eat"

"Yes ma'am, I just left her room, she's in the bathroom," Anna said and lowered her gaze. It was a rule for the maiden's eyes not to meet with the bosses. Annabelle assumed she was lucky as that rule just saved her. She watched her mother as she left her room and she also went to the hallway leading to the backdoor. There was hardly a bodyguard in that area.

Anna followed the backdoor leading to the garden, opening a small exit for dogs. She couldn't risk following the main entrance. Annabelle crawled and passed through it.

"Finally, at last." She screamed out happily. It was like an adventure for her to escape the mansion. She might not have the chance to do what she wants In the future.
