《The Kidnapped Orphan》Joseph's freedom.
Advertisement
Daisy's POV
I gripped on to the wheel and turned as fast as possible around the lorry and ended up on the grass next to the road. It was very lucky escape. If I didn't play GTA when I was little, I wouldn't of been able to do the trick and we would of all been killed.
"That was scary.." Alice sobbed.
"I know, hunny. I'm very sorry." I apologized, feeling extremely guilty.
"Babe, calm down." James rubbed my back. I didn't even know I was breathing terribly fast.
I gulped and listened to him. Breathing in and out slowly and calmly. I was starting to calm down now. I opened the car door and got Alice out.
"Are you injured?" I worriedly asked.
I rolled her sleeves up and checked along her arm. She had no cuts.
"No, I'm fine, mum." She replied, pulling down her sleeves.
I gulped again, getting Alice into the car. We had to get home now. It was becoming really late and it was already dark.
"I'll drive." Joseph suggested, getting out of the nearly-damaged car and moving to the driver's seat. I couldn't really argue. I did have a massive shock and I had to calm down. I wouldn't be able to drive anyway.
We all arrived home. Alice sleeping and me very tired. James picked up Alice and carried her inside the house. I locked the car and went inside last, immediately going upstairs to bed. I laid back, pulling the covers over myself. I was still in complete shock. James suggested going to the hospital for a check up but I was fine. So was Alice and so was him. James joined me in bed, pulling me towards him.
"How are you?" He asked, kissing my forehead gently.
"I'm fine, thanks. How are you?" I breathed heavy.
"I'm good. You were so skilled at driving. How did you manage to dodge that lorry?"
I smiled and decided to tell him. He wasn't going to like this. Not at all.
"Well, when we were 14, I sort of played your driving games..especially Grand Theft Auto. I'm sorry.." I mumbled.
He chuckled loudly, rubbing my forearm.
"I knew you played them. I'd always find a different disk in the PS." He winked.
Oops.
I smiled slightly, shuffling down in the bed more. I kissed him goodnight and closed my eyes. I hope Alice was alright.
.....
Next day.
Alice woke James and I up, bouncing on the end of the bed. Why was she so hyper today?
"Urgh, what is it?" I whined, sitting up.
"You said you would take dad and I to the restaurant in town to make up for last night. Remember?"

I didn't remember at all. I couldn't even think about last night as it was too horrible. But what I did remember was that Joseph was coming out of prison later on. Or, was it in a few hours? I didn't know.
"Okay, get a shower and get dressed." I instructed, smiling slightly.
"Ok!" She screamed, running out the room.

Jospeh's POV
I sat up on the hard bed, releaved I was getting out of this horrible thing today. I certainly did not learn my lesson. It just made things worse than before.
The metal, rusty, peeling door creaked open, revealing a tall, fat police officer.
"Come on, son, Lets get your things sorted out." His deep, annoying voice shot through my head.
I didn't say a word, walking past him. He led me to a room, possibly his office. I walked in, taking a seat on a comfortable chair in the corner of the room.
"I'll just do some computer work and then we can get you ready to go." He took a bite out of his doughnut. I sighed and looked down at my hands.
10 minutes passed and he was eventually done. He took a lot of effort to get out of his seat. That took at least 4 seconds. I looked at the clock on the wall. 10:45am. It was planned that I got out at 11:30am. He took me down the corridor and into a room where all my belongings were. I picked up my bag full of clothes.
"You can get dressed in the changing rooms. PC Burty will take you down." The fat man said, resting his lazy bum on the chair. I nodded and followed the man.
"20 years, eh?" He asked, smirking.
"No, it was 1 year. What do you think?" I spat.
"Wow, lad. Calm down, I was only asking." He laughed.
I ignored him. We got to the changing rooms and he finally gave me privacy. I got in, not bothering to have a shower and got my clothes out. After changing, I walked out to be greeted by the same man again.
"That was quick." He gave me a yellow band.
"What's this for?" I rolled my eyes.
"You put it on you. It's for prisoners and you are still a prisoner until you leave this building."
I followed his orders, putting it over my head. He then took me to the room with the rest of the people that were leaving today. There was only 3 other people there.
"Hey mate." My room mate greeted.
"Hey." I high fived him, childishly.
I couldn't wait to leave. It was only half an hour now. Half an hour till freedom. I sat next to my mate, called Connor. He was my room mate for 15 years. He was caught with drugs. I chatted with him for a bit. About my past. I forgot to tell him why I was even arrested. We were too busy playing cards and earning crisps. Cards was the only entertainment around here.

Half an hour went passed and it was time to leave. Yes!
I followed the man to the doors to freedom, I ripped off my band, throwing it on the floor.
"Thanks for keeping me locked away from freedom." I smirked, running out the doors. I can't believe I am out. After 20 years, this was amazing.
I got the bus with left over money and went back to my house. It smelt of blood and death. Even memories! The first thing I did was go into the old dungeon. The blood had dried into the floor and Kayleigh's belongings was still in a bag, here.
I had to see Daisy though. I was desperate to see her. Though, I didn't know where she lived now. I walked out of the stinking house and walked to her old orphanage. It hadn't changed at all. It was still the same. I pressed the door bell and a tall woman answered.
"Joseph." She gasped. I smiled, letting myself in.
"I need to know where Delilah Smith moved."
"I'm sorry but I can't tell you that information." She mumbled, quietly.
"I am not going to harm her. I just want to say sorry for what I did. I learnt my lesson in prison. Please."
She sighed, finally giving in. She took me to her office.
"She moved to a different town. I'm not sure if she has moved again." The woman looked at her sheets.
"Which town?" I gazed into her eyes. I knew she was nervous. Probably scared too.
"Jaffa Town." She looked away from me.
"Ok. Now I need her house address." She shook her head.
"No, sir. I can't." She stood up, walking out her office.
"Tell me." I demanded.
"Go, before I call the police." She cried. She was so soft.
I sighed and walked out. I knew where Jaffa was, but it was a big town. Also, it was 4 hours away from here. I didn't know how to get there. But then I remembered. The spare car keys I had in my house. They didn't take my car away. Just the keys and I still had my license.

Daisy's POV
After we were all ready, we all got our breakfast and went to town. We decided to get the bus instead, because the incident last night had put James and I off driving for a while.
"Who fancies an early lunch?" I questioned, smiling.
"Me!" Alice screamed.
"I'm up for it, babe." James took my hand. I blushed a little.
We walked around the town for a bit, looking for a couple of restaurants which did an early lunch. We found one.
A waitress came up to all of us, smiling massively.
"Would you like a table?" She asked.
Alice had no intention of keeping quiet. "No, we'd like to eat on the floor." Her cheesy smiled filled her face, completely.
James and I laughed while the waitress didn't say a word. In fact, her smile vanished.
"Table 14." She pointed.
We all sat down around the table, still laughing.
"You have so much sarcasm in you, just like your father." I chuckled.
Alice smiled and picked up the children's menu.
"Sausage and mash." She stated.
It took me a while to find something but I finally did. "Hmm. I'm going to have sausage and mash too." I laughed.
James looked at me, confused. Probably because I decided to choose the same as Alice, from the children's menu.
"Well, I'm going to have a burger." He pulled his tongue at me.
After having our lunch, we walked around the town. Going into shops, buying some stuff and having a good laugh.
___________________________________________________________________________
Joseph's POV
I made it to the town and parked my car in a car park in the town centre. This place was almost like a city. I was sure to get lost here. There was maps around the town though. I walked around for a while, hoping I'd bump into Daisy. But I wasn't sure if she moved again.
I sat on the bench, giving up. I missed Daisy and I just wanted to see her again. I looked around and my eye caught a girl that looked like Daisy when she was younger. I smiled to myself.
"Alice, come back here!" A woman shouted, a worried look on her face. I looked back at the girl who was running. She was heading towards the road. I stood up.
"Alice!" She screamed more.
The girl named Alice wasn't listening to her mother and was running away instead. She ran across the road, but tripped. That's when I started sprinting. I ran to the girl, picking her up before a car could hit her.
The woman finally caught up and hugged Alice.
"You shouldn't of ran away!" She demanded.
The woman looked up at me. Her eyes bringing back memories. I gasped quietly.
"Thank you for saving my daughter." She shook my hand.
I smiled a bit. "No problem. I'm Joseph and you are?"
"Oh, I'm Daisy." She smiled.
Daisy? Oh my god..

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
