Dear gods… I did it.
I sent a letter to my parents. Just saying I was ok and that I missed them but my life has taken a different path than the one they chose for me.
Here is what I sent them. I mailed it from the town near the base, so they cant trace it back to anywhere else. I went back after they all found Hope.
Mom and Dad,
I wanted to let you know I am ok. I am doing well and taking care of myself. I miss you both so much. I think I saw dad last week shopping in the village with a little boy. I wont be here after I send this, so please don’t tear yourself apart looking for me. I don’t think you’d recognize me anyhow. I have grown up quite a bit. I may call on my birthday if I am able to. I still don’t know how to face you, I am so afraid you will force me to come back. I can’t, and I wont until after I am an adult and don’t have the threat of you locking me up in some military school. I know its harsh and unfair of me, but I wont come back to just be sent away and punished. I love you, really I do, its why I came back to see if you were still here. I think you might be proud of me if you knew me now, but that will wait another couple years to find out.
I will be thinking of you
Alice
I know its dumb of me but I needed to let them know I wasn’t dead and that I still love them… but also let them know …. I don’t know I just wanted them to know.
