It was near midnight...when Lisa left her bunker. She had to get her clothes and stuff out of the house so she could make her escape. As she entered...she made sure to pack some snacks and even stole some money from her mother's purse. As she tiptoed up the stairs, she slowly walked towards her room and looked in only to see her sister Lily looking at her with sad eyes.

"Lily...I'm sorry but I must leave. No one wants me here except for you, Darcy and Lincoln. I just can't take anymore of the abuse." Lisa said. Lily slowly nodded and watched Lisa pack up her clothes. As she turned around...she came face to face with her brother who looked at her with a sad expression on his face.

"What are you doing up Lincoln?" Lisa Asked.

"Sigh...Lisa, I wanted to see whether or not you're going to run away." Lincoln said.

"Are you going to stop me?" Lisa Asked.

"No. That'll just be selfish. I knew that this was coming Lisa...so I wanted to give you this." Lincoln said as he handed her a locket. Lisa looked inside and saw a picture of Lincoln and Lily on one side while the other side had a picture of Darcy.

"It's beautiful." Lisa said.

"I knew that you would like it. I wanted to give you this as a reminder of the ones who truly care for you. I'm sorry for all that you went through until this point...and I thought that I'll help you escape by using that slide that you inserted inside my room." Lincoln said. 

Lisa slowly walked out of the room while Lincoln grabbed Lily and slowly followed behind her. They were both saddened to see Lisa go, but knew if she didn't then she would continue to suffer. As Lincoln pulled the cord...Lisa started to hug Lincoln and Lily.

"Thanks for having my back. If you see Darcy...tell her that I'm always going to think of you guys." Lisa said.

"I will. Now get going...we don't want the others to know where you're going." Lincoln said. 

Lisa nodded and slowly started to slide down towards the side. Before she walked away...she gave one last look towards Lincoln and Lily and gave them a thumbs up.

Unaware that her leaving would change things in Royal Woods forever.
