Lost

Chapter 1: Siblings

Hello! My name is Autumn. Right now I am sitting in my room with my little sister Lilly. She is 4 years old. She is only ONE of my siblings. I have 9 siblings. Five older siblings and four younger siblings. Yeah, it's a hard-knock life. There's Ben. My older brother. He is 12, almost 13 years old. He's the humorous one in our family. "I'm going to Walmart to get some new tools and accessories for my go-cart. Do you guys want to come? Lilly, if you come you can get a free lollipop! If you don't want to come that's fine. I'll bring the lollipop home for you. Your choice." Ben winked. Lilly jumped up and down like she had been waiting for this day her whole life. Then she looked over at me with her perfect, brown sparkly eyes and said, "Wiw you go get me da wowipop?" I sighed and said under my breath, "Fine."

When we got to Walmart, Ben told me to lead him to the tool section. Ben stopped at the bike isle. I didn't see him stop and I kept going. I forgot where I was going and I went straight out the door and out into the forest. My eyes stayed closed as I hummed. And hummed. And hummed. Until I ran into a tree. I woke up from my blackout and found myself under a tree that apparently belonged to a sleeping cheeta. I tried to stand up and walk backwards. SNAP! There it is. My whole life about to be ruined by a cheeta. She opened one of her eyes. My eyes went wide as I carefully reached into my pocket. The lollipop I got at the front of the store was in my hand. Could I use this as a weapon? No, it's for Lilly. Oh no. The cheeta is standing right in front of me, ready to pounce. Yep, my life is so gone. Prrrrrrr is what I hear from behind me. It was a friendly tiger! I jumped on her back and she ran the opposite direction from where I came from. I looked back to look for the cheeta, but she was out of sight. When we got to the tiger's destination, I was shocked. There was a gigantic tree-house the size of the Tree of Life in Disney. Beside that, there were three sleeping cubs. I could barely see them through the window of the smaller tree-house beside the big one. The tiger lead me up a ramp and into the big tree-house.

Inside, there was a big tiger-print couch and a 64 inch TV on a wooden wall. I jumped off the tiger and looked around. I didn't see another tiger so I guessed the tiger was an only parent. A lonely tiger with three cubs.
