The only ones that I own are Laney, Diane, and Dana or any other characters I may creat along the way, all other characters belong to Fox Family! My mind began to race as I searched for a way, any way to escape this. Shelby reluctantly got suited up. "Shelby why do you look so scared? Does the Queen have a fear? Oh my!" I exclaimed. "Laney,that's enough." Peter scolded as Shelby began and he started timing her. I walked over to Juliette. "How am I supposed to get out of this Jules?" I questioned. "Just do it, get over your fear... it'll help more than you think." "Jules you don't understand!" I exclaimed. "What if I fall or something?" "You won't fall, you'll be suited up." As Shelby was about to finish I ran off. I kept runnning and didn't look back, as I arrived towards Peter's office I stopped running and sat down on the steps. I began shaking my head as tears welled up in my eyes. "Laney." I heard Peter's voice in front of me. "Please leave me alone." I stood up and began walking away but he grabbed my arm. "No, I'm not going to leave you alone. Your first assignment is to write a 500 word essay on your fears." "Uh.. why what did I do?" "Nothing, it's just an assignment due the day after tomorrow." "Fine." I rolled my eyes and headed to the dorms. I pulled out a notebook and pen. "A 500 word essay on my fears... this is impossible." I sighed leaning back. I thought for a while and then headed over to Peter's office. "You said that you wanted to see me." I commented as I walked over to his desk. "Yes, I did. Sit down Laney." I sat down in front of him. "What is it Peter?" "Well I was thinking, your foster mother didn't give us much information on you. Tell me about you." "I'm 16 years old and I got hauled off to this place for no apparent reason." I looked at him and he walked up behind me pulling my shirt up above my belly button where there were several scabs and one old scar. "Look at your stomach Laney." "Peter-" "I said look at it.... if you can look at that and say you don't have any problems than you need a lot more work than I thought." I looked up at him with tears in my eyes. "I'm sorry Peter.... but you just wouldn't understand." I said standing up. "Sit back down Laney." "Why Peter? You made your point I'm screwed up okay!" I exclaimed as tears streamed down my cheeks. "You can go back to your dorm and get some rest while the rest of us start dinner and do some things. I think what you need right now is some rest." "Yeah maybe." I ran out of the office quickly wiping the tears from my eyes. "Are you ok?" Auggie questioned as I ran into him. "Fine." I replied as I quickly made my way into the dorm and headed straight for my bed. A while later we ate dinner and we went hiking, then we all headed for the dorms. Then shortly after we all went to bed. "No...no...no!" I quickly shot up in bed. My face was tear stained. "Laney..." Juliette whispered. "Are you okay?" "Yeah... just a nightmare." I laid down. Just a nightmare.
