Charlotte continued to walk, she was going to make a new life for herself.  She would be free of her father's grasp, free from that stupid school.  She felt refreshed, happy, free and it didnt bother her that the evening was drawing in.  The lane was tree lined and it seemed to go on for ever.  The noises around her changed, she began to get a bit jumpy, but she made sure to walk on the edge of the road, facing the way of oncoming traffic.  If there was any traffic!! She hadnt seen a single car yet, or even any lights.  She looked behind herself and shook her head, this was very strange.  Oh well, her new life beckoned, she was going to make a name for herself in some way.  She smiled, yes, she would have a great life.<br/><br/>Poor naive little Charlotte!!
