She just kept walking, she wasn’t sure what to do if she was honest. Maybe he’d kill her if she kept going, maybe if she stayed, it just was confusing. When he touched her shoulder she flinched and turned to him, taking a step away and holding her backpack close to her. His voice was soft, concerned, and she felt herself nearly give in and tell him everything. But no, she couldn’t. All she needed was an excuse, she had to think of one quickly. She couldn’t exactly tell him that it wasn’t the town she was getting away from, but him.<br/>“Nothing, I’m just going back down to the shore. You said we needed somewhere permanent for me, right? There’s this old hut that no one uses anymore, I’m just bringing my stuff over there.” She explained simply, hoping he took it as an answer.<br/><br/>Her eyes flickered around them, there was no one. If she wanted to make her lie convincing she’d have to go down then, but then she remembered. Down by it there was a large oak tree, one she had been climbing since she was little. This tree sat next to the wall, and if she climbed it today, she could use that to carefully climb over the wall as well. She shook her head to clear her thoughts, looking back to him. “Just... give me so me time, okay?” With that she started backing away from him, biting her lip before turning and hustling away.
