The Voice in the City

Mom! I'M HOME!

"What happened to you William!!" she demanded, "Um, it doesn't hurt." He lied, but that didn't work cause mom new it hurt. "If you lie to me one more time and if you ever pull up such a stunt!" she threatened, "Mom we're fine, it is ok." I said, she stared at me, "YOU TRAVELED TO NEW YORK AND WENT TO QUEENSLAND WITH A STRANGER!!!" she shouted, "I am not a stranger. Thank you very much!" Tracy said sarcastically. "ENOUGH!!!" I shouted, "She helped us on this quest if it weren't for her we'd be DEAD!" I snapped, "You are in big trouble young lady!" mom said, "Hey, it wasn't their fault. If they hadn't went on this quest, we would all we dead." Dad said, "If you ever leave this house without MY permission you would be punished for 10 years!" she warned. Willy and I gulped, "Um, so not to interrupt your family situation but what should we do about this?" Jane asked gesturing to the scythe, "WE WOULD THROW IT!" mom deviously said, "Why would you want to throw it?" Tracy asked, "Cause in movies, if we kept it someone would steal it so why don't we just destroy it, put it in the volcano. SO IT WOULD BURN TO ASHES AND YOU TWO WONT BE ABLE TO HAVE A REASON TO LEAVE THE HOUSE AGAIN!" she exclaimed, "It won't burn." Tracy said matter-of-factly, "Huh?" we all said in unison not including Tracy, ofcource. " Beauty is like the queen of fire. It won't burn." She said, " We could buy a big chest and put it in, lock it then hide it." Dad suggested.

"GREAT!" Mom said sarcastically, "Now I have a weapon in my house!" she said and stomped out of the room. "We have to do something to make her happy." I thought aloud, "Ok, guess I have to work with him." Tracy sighed and stared at dad, "What's wrong with me?" he asked offended, "Oh forget it." She said and left mom's room with dad still confused. "Ok let's get the chest." Jane exclaimed and was about to march to the door when Willy said, "WAIT! We can't we have to ask mom." He reminded, then just when he said that mom stormed in and said, "I AM GOING WITH YOU!", we left the house mom holding our hands tightly. 

We entered a shop full of different types of chest mom snatched the scythe and without even measuring said, "There! That's what we need, it will fit perfectly!", she briskly walked to a very long chest which I thought was too long but when we got closer it was the perfect size, I knew I shouldn't question her, she payed and left the shop holding the chest and our hands on her hands. We arrived, she gave us the chest told us where her secret basement was, which surprised me, "We have a basement?!" Willy excitedly asked, she answered with a 'Yes', she left to the kitchen and started to cook lunch which made us drool, "Let's go to the basement!" I exclaimed and marched to dad room, we pushed his bed which was heavy, and spotted a door which was the same color as the carpet. 

"Sweet!" Jane said and opened the door, unfortunately it was dusty, "EW! IT SMELLS!" Willy complained, we climbed down the stairs and saw it was like a shop that has never been used, "We can put it here!" I yelled from the other side of the basement pointing at a empty space, "Ok!" Jane picked up the chest, locked it, hid the key in the shelves and put it in the empty space. We left the basement and saw Tracy and dad staring down at us, "What did you do to my ROOM! It all dusty!", I couldn't blame him, I would've have done the same, "Secret basement in your room where we hid the chest!" Willy answered, we closed the door and put back his bed. "Sorry." We said looking down, "It fine!" he said trying not to sound angry, "Your mother is happy already, cooking makes her happy!" he said. "Well anyway we must eat. She said 5 minutes left till the food finishes, come on. We have to ready up the table!"
