Sophie slumped back into the tall, uncomfortable chair as Louise paced the floor in front of her. "Henry! Have you noticed the poor behaviour your daughter has exhibited the past few months? Honestly! Lying to us about being sick just to skip a breakfast with the family! I dont see how you put up wit-" the ranting Louise was cut off as Sophie's chair made a screeching sound as she stood abruptly. "You. Are. Not. Family." was all Sophie spit out before she turned on her heel.<br/><br/>A gasp of shock left Louise and Sophie's father, Henry, was quick to stand on his feet. "Sophie Laina! Don't say that to your mother!" Henry was quick to repremand. The anger she was feeling was at a boil by now and Sophie growled under her breath, spitting out a venomous reply. "My mother's dead. Louise has no buisness trying to take her place either! And she never will!" With that, Sophie took off down the foyer to the front door. Despite her lack of sleep, a sudden burst of anger filled her with the energy to run as far away as she could from the house.<br/><br/>Bolting out the front door when one of the maids just pulled it open, a gasp of surprise left the maid as Sophie bolted by. Feeling the wind whip through her long hair only encouraged her to run faster, the gravel crunched loudly beneath her feet and she barely managed to squeeze through the gates at the speed she was running. Sliding through sideways, a tug on her shirt alerted her to the fact that the gate had caught onto the thin cloth. Leaning forward slightly as she slid through, there was the feeling of relief as the gate let go. Not taking the moment to look either way in reassurance that it was safe to cross, Sophie bolted over the black road and just barely managed to make it to the other side when the roaring of a car whipped by her.<br/><br/>Not even the aching feeling in her legs could get her to stop as Sophie ran downhill, the houses flying by on either side of her as she continued her run. Only when she reached the less-then-busy side of town did she slow to a walk. Panting heavily, Sophie winced and pressed her hand to her side as it started to cramp up. Sighing with a sort of relief as she clasped her hands together behind her head, she leaned her head back a bit into her hands and looked up at the sky as she listened to the cars roaring to and fro. It only took one glance back at the hill she had just run down for her legs to turn into jelly, making her lean against the building next to her. Shoving her hands deep in her pockets, Sophie felt herself relax as the sun washed over her, warming her up.<br/><br/>Something told her that this would prove to be a very life changing day and she hoped it changed for the better.
