In the middle of the night, when everyone was sleeping inside the carriages, Alicia, who was planning on leaving alone, got up. She observed her surroundings. If anyone was awake, but luck is on her side.
Everyone was fast asleep. The fire they created to cook food was now all cinders, giving heat to the kids.
'I am sorry, Fritz. My mission is mine alone. I will not drag you or everyone in it. This is goodbye.'
Silently, Alicia found her way out of the circle of sleeping acquaintances. She sneakily tiptoed herself away from Fritz and the others. No sounds from her movements could be heard. Alicia made sure that she would not arouse anyone, for it would lead to everyone's awakening.
After getting away from the place, Alicia could finally breathe in relief. She was holding her breath, afraid that had she caught her breath while trying to get away, Fritz and the others would wake up.
