The shadow gets closer to our car. every second it gets closer, closer, and closer.

Mom and dad are just screaming about if it's her or not.

We all start to panic in horror! But, I look out of our window on the other side to wipe off the dust, and I see Breanna, smoking a fat cigar.

I told mom and she said, "BREANNA CUNNINGSMANN, U GET OVER HERE THIS INSTANT!" Mom screamed out the window to her.

She threw her cigar away and got in the car and mom was going ballistic on her. While they were about to scream their voices off I think of something. If that person that's running towards our car isn't Breanna, then who is it?
"Hey, Mom?" I ask smoothly
"What?"
"If that's br-bre-Breanna, then who is that getting chased?" I asked again scared.

"Well, I don't know. But we might want to help whatever kinda person is!" Mom is now panicking about THIS situation. Great.

Dad got his shotgun out of the back and ran towards the unknown person.
He ran with all his might. He starts shooting at the lizards. BOOM! Goes a shot, BOOM! Another one. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! He kept shooting until all lizards were dead. The shadow look as if it died too from scaredness.

Me, sis, and my little brother, who is still somehow sleeping through all of these things that are going on.
Dad was walking back, but the person was also with him.
When they both got close enough, I started to view him. He had blond-ish hair, a ragged shirt, and pants that have big holes in them.
"This is my family. Family, meet Blaze." Dad introduced him.
"Hi, I'm Blaze, nice to meet y'all. Do you guys need anything? I have a place about 10 miles from here." He said, thoughtfully.
We all said it at the same time."YES!"
He walked us over to the place, an elegant, sand-built dune.
