true escape

+

A family of five was going to an unfamiliar city where all the children wanted to go. One of their children was actually adopted, but no one disagreed; they were full of love and joy.

They just arrived at the hotel that they will be staying in for a few days, just beside the park. It was a huge hotel, a castle- and queen-like experience for all the guests, which left them excited, especially the children. They rested for the night because tomorrow will be an exciting event for them.

A new morning begins, and the kids are excitedly prepared. They woke up just after a few taps; you could see how they're waiting for this day. They eat and ride all over, just enjoying. Their parents are even scared at some rides that they are pointing at, but they just let them drag because it's once in a lifetime.

When night comes, they have their dinner and prepare for sleep. The two children were so excited for tomorrow because they have been told by their parents that they will gonna watch some shows of different Disney characters. There will be parades and lastly a fireworks display.

It was midnight when the adopted child had a different plan, as she is planning to go home without their parents' and siblings' knowledge. She sneaked out without a sound. It was so hard as it was high security and there was a barrier before going outside. It felt like they don't want her to leave, as it should be.

She got out as she saw a window near the beach. As she walked outside, she just went out without anything but herself. She ran, praying no one would see her, but she heard someone shouting, "HEY!" She checked to see that it's one of the castle's guards. Then again, she ran and swam because it was already half of her body already on the beach.

As she swam, she transformed and became a shark swimming through the sea. It was her hidden identity that only their family knew, but they accepted it fully as she was family to them. It was not even known from the orphanage when she was still not adopted.

She saw some boats fishing, but she didn't let them see her. After a few minutes of swimming, she already arrived at their hometown, and it was already morning because she sometimes stopped just because. She saw another fishing boat and just let them fish throughout.

She almost got into the farm to get her way to their house when she heard someone on the shore. She was actually gifted—when she's in the water, she can hear things even across the ocean. It's screaming for help, and she recognized it. There was only one person that voice sounded like that, and she can only hear her.

She was so nervous, so she swam, going to the voice she heard. She was back at the castle when she saw her sister almost passed out, crying for help, and she's struggling to get out of the men trying to get her. So she swam and scared them, as she doesn't like them to get killed by her, especially when her sister is watching her help.

After just a few moments, when the men got scared, they ran away faster and didn't look back. She goes back to her sister, transforming into a human again. She held her, and they went to the shore for her to catch her breath.

After a few minutes, their parents saw them with their younger brother. They were shocked, and their mother was already crying because they were trying to find her for hours now. Then they just found out while they were searching that another child was also kidnapped. It was heartbroken for their family, but seeing their daughters again on the shore and safe made them cry.

Some personnel were there, but they left them as they let them have their privacy. It was then that they told her about her escape and the help for her sister. The parents were angry at her, especially when she just left by herself when no one was there with her, but they were still thankful that all of them are okay. She promised not to do that again.

They got back to their room to rest as it was a long, special day for them. But the older sister was encouraging them to watch the shows and especially the fireworks. It was just for her to say sorry about what she did and just let herself enjoy that time, especially that she has a family.
