Last Chance ~ Part 2

Ruthie's POV

************************

I could hear Bridget and Mary  scuttling around the room, and tidying their beds. I knew I should get up too, but I didn't feel like it. 

I missed her... especially today... one year.... that long? 'Where was she?'

"She's changed," I heard Bridget say, "It's almost like she left too."

"She has," Mary sighed, "And she won't come back till she does."

"Then you think she still might?" Bridget asked, hopefully.

"Would you come back if you got out?" Mary snapped.

"No." they both said at the same time.

I could tell they were about to giggle when they heard a noise and began to hurry.

'There's my cue,' I thought, 'Where is my bookmark?'

In nothing but a few seconds, they were in the proper position, the mandatory position, at the end of their 'beds'.

Just then the Matron walked in.

The Matron walked up to Mary and grinned.

"How was last night? WITHOUT A PILLOW!" The Matron cackled.

The matron was a bully.

"What? What was that!?" she cried as she whirled around.

'Uh oh.'

"I, uh, um, I don't know what you mean." I stuttered nervously.

The matron marched up and glowered at me.

"Did you just get up as I came into the room?" She hissed.

''Um..." 

'How do I get out of this one?'

The matron peered around me to see my bed.

It was a mess.

I flinched, expecting a blow.

But it never came.

The matron just walked away.

'How weird is that?'

Mary and Bridget looked incredulous, but I was just plain old dumbfounded.

"How did she get away with that?" Bridget exclaimed.

I couldn't believe it either.

Maybe Kit had rubbed off on me after all.

The End of Part 2

Hmmmm... So many un-answered questions... XD
