"How long do I have to stay here? I want to leave." It was the truth and she would never let go of that fact. She may have decided to stay for now, only because for one she had been caught, but also because Madison had never expected guards.

Please no, that would be horrible!" Tears were once more forming in her eyes, dreading the tought of him using her as an example for Beth of what can happen.
