Character Journal

Chapter 46   Pages: 365-368

Offred: I can not believe this is happening. I don't know what to think. Am I going to be rescued and get out of this horrid place? Or is this going to be the end of me. Everything at that moment flashed through my head of all the things that I have done while here. Could this really be mayday and all that I have been waiting here for? The black van is waiting for me as Nick pulls me out of my room with the two men. But Nick has now left and is not to be seen anywhere. Everyone has now gathered around to see what is going on. The Commander, Serena Joy, Cora and Rita are there. All with mixed emotions with the Commander and Serena Joy being in a fight before this. I don't care about their thoughts anymore, but I do feel sorry for them for whatever reason. Once I get in the black van I am done with this place either way. This is my last chance to get out of this place "so I step up, into the darkness within; or else the light."

Serena Joy: What in the world is going on here! This black van is causing such a ruckus. Whoever that van is waiting for needs to hurry up and get out of here. There is no time for any of this as I have to get back to talking with the Commander about things that need to be settled. WHAT. Why on earth is Offred walking down the stairs with two men escorting her into the van. This was not our plan. If she has done something to put her at risk, this will not end well. The Commander asks to see a warrant as to why she is being brought to the van. Apparently they do not need one as it would be a violation of state secrets which I think is not true whatsoever. I do not know what to think of this, I am sick to my stomach. I think of something to say but all that comes out is "bitch, after all he did for you." Those were and will be my last ever words to her. She's gone now and that is that.
