Failed Attempt

A young girl was seen run through the thick woods.

"Come back here!!!" said a booming voice.

"Please leave me alone" said the girl.

While she wasn't looking, she hit her head on a tree then fell down soon after the person chasing after her caught up with her.

"Pah!!"

A loud slap was heard.

"This is the fifth time you're been try to run away" said the person who was chasing her.

"I don’t want to go back there, you people are to cruel sob sob" cried the girl.

"You better shut up and get ready for your punishment" the man then angrily dragged her back to the orphanage.

It's been six years since Lisa has stayed in the Orphanage and she didn't even know what her parents looked like. All she knows was that when she was two she was found in a collapsed building which must have been the result of an earthquake. How she survived anyway was a miracle.

The Police Officers who rescued her were even more surprised when they realized that she didn't even had any injuries. She was saved and then taken to the Orphanage when they realized that her parents couldn’t be found.

Six years has gone in a blink of an eye, and now that she is eight years old, escaping this terrible Orphanage has been her first plan since her stay here, but it may seem strange for why an eight year old will want to escape, where can she stay if she leaves the Orphanage.

Anyway Lisa may be young but she a bit smarter for her age, like when she was rescued from the earthquake, she told the Police Officers that her name was Lisa, and she didn't even cry or cause a tantrum when her parents couldn't be found as she was calmer than other children who lost their parents.

Although all her attempts of escaping the Orphanage has been futile, but this has also being part of are plan as she is trying to study the Orphanage surroundings.

"Seriously, this is the fifth time that she tried to escape, and this place is all surrounded by forest isn't she afraid of getting eaten by wild animals" said the caretaker who appears to be in her mid thirties.

The guy who chased her said "I don't know ma'am but she is really fearless, no matter how I punish her, she won't still give up escaping"

"Alright then, if she still wants to escape, just let her die there, I'm sick of her already"

"Okay ma'am, I will inform you when she's gone"

"Good, you can go now"

"Yes ma'am"

Lisa who was eavesdropping on their conversation quickly hide when she realized they were done. As the man left, Lisa came out of her hiding spot and told herself that she will soon leave this place as she has successfully annoyed them enough not care about her.

"Finally, first thing tomorrow morning I'm leaving" she said the went back to her room.
