Dear Diary,

            This is my first night out and away from my family for the first time in my whole life. I didn’t think it would affect me that bad but it does. I miss mama and daddy and even Darryl which surprised me the most. Oh well there is no turning the clock back now. I’m gone and if I even think about going back Mr. and Mrs.Amison would seriously punish me. I am hiding in the woods through night when I need sleep but I can’t do it a lot because at any moment someone could come up to me and either kill me or take me back to Mr. and Mrs.Amison house.  I have to go for now. I hear horses. Write back soon!

                                                                                                                                    Your Friend,

                                                                                                                                                Anna
