I woke up not knowing where I was, since a forest is not the most natural place to wake up.... It was pitch black, and all you could hear was the faint sound of crickets, and the unatural sound of Jamie, snoring away. I crawled over to Hannah and prodded her. "Wake up!" I whispered with a shiver. Hannah twitched, and rolled over. "Hannah!" I prodded her again. Hannah sat up rubbing her eyes, "Wa? Where ami?" She shivered. I looked at her quizically.
"The woods." I replied. "Remember yesterday?" Hannah looked at me. She probably had questions buzzing round in her head like flies. Or maybe a swarm of angry wasps. "Oh yeeeaahhh." She said, and fell straight back to sleep, falling straight back and landing on Jamie. Jamie squirmed, and pushed Hannah into the tree she was leaning against. "URGGGHHH" He screamed. Jamie did a sort of crab walk backwards, away from Hannah, only to bump into another tree and have yet another squealing fit. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!?" He squealed. This time he got up and ran over to me and hid behind me.
"Jamie! What ON EARTH are you doing?!" I questioned.
"Remember yesterday?!" Jamie stood up and came away from behind my back.
"Oh yeah". He said.
"Yeah. You know that policemen are sending dogs in to find us..."
"Yep."
"I think we should move location. Somewhere that isn't a forest." I said.
Jamie looked at me, confused.
"You know to move...."
"Yeahhhh."
"We're going to have to wake up Hannah."
"Yes. I'm not going to any orphanage." I said.
Now, you may be wondering why we are being so serious about waking Hannah up.
Well, Hannah is a VERY, deep sleeper.
And when I say deep, I mean DEEP.
Once, we caught her making fried eggs in the middle of the night. WHILE SLEEPWALKING.
And she DOES NOT, like to be woken up. EVER.
But we had to risk it. We were going to get hunted by dogs otherwise.
First - We rolled her over the grass. Not even a stir.
Second - We prodded her with sticks. Not even a wince!
Third - We decided that there wasn't any other option. We would have to do the unspeakable. Open her eyes.
"You do it." I said
Jamie looked at me, annoyed. "Fine. But you have to deal with her."
"Go" I said with a grin. This was going to be entertaining.
