Story line

A family is going on their first vacation. Emily and my brother tom went exploring. One day, they found a cave with weird engravings on it. They went inside they got to the other side of the cave. Little did they know that once they go through, there was no coming back out.

It didn't take long for me to discover that my life was going to change. I wish I didn't go on that stupid vacation. If I had stayed at home, everything would have been better.

My name is Emily and I am ten years old. I live with my parents and my fifteen-year-old brother, Tom. We live in an old rusted cabin deep in the woods. It was a cold summer's night. stars covered the dark night sky.There was a full moon , all the wolves were out howling at it covered the sky, and the rain was pouring like crazy. Thunder echoed through the night. It was so loud that it made my ears ring and the lightning was so bright it almost made me go blind. It was hard for me to fall asleep. The wind blew onto my windows, making them shake. A couple of minutes later, it all stopped. It was quiet, and it was dark. I could finally fall asleep in peace.

In the morning

My brother and I both thought it was strange that our parents were both smiling and laughing when we walked downstairs; they never smiled or laughed. We were both puzzled. "Kids, your father and I have something we'd like to talk to you about." My brother was looking at me with a frightened expression. When Dad screamed, Tom and I both flinched. "We're going on an exciting trip!" And we're staying for a week. Isn't that fantastic and exciting? We're going on our very first vacation!" My brother and I both screamed with delight. I dashed over to him, and we both shrieked with joy. We were so happy because we had never been on vacation before. "OK, you two, calm down. You know I hate it when you scream," Mum said. Tom was probably gathering his belongings when he was hurrying up the stairs. I went to go follow him, but stopped halfway up the stairs, then ran back down and hugged my mother. I got carried away and screamed in delight.

Mum splashed her iced tea on her blue dress. Her face turned bright red, and veins protruded from her temples. She stood up, fists clenched, jaw tensed. She spun around and screamed, "What did I say about yelling, Emily? You know it hurts my ears, but you keep doing it. Do you care about anyone else in this family besides you?" My mouth dropped open. I turned around and sobbed my way upstairs. I came to a halt at my door when I heard my mother and father arguing. "Honey, you know not to yell at her, she's just a kid," dad said as tears streamed down my cheeks. "She's a brat. She thinks she can get away with anything. I disown that child. She's nothing but a careless child. I wish she was never born!" mum yelled. After slamming the door behind me, I jumped into my bed. I screamed in anger, "I hate her! I hate her!" As my brother walked into my room, I screamed into my pillow. "Are you all alright, Emily?" Was he serious? "Do I seem okay to you?" I yelled, knowing that would hurt his feelings. "What happened?" He asked, "Mum yelled at me because I made her spill her iced tea over her favourite dress." I sobbed Tom placed his hand on my shoulder, trying to soothe me. "Don't worry, Emily, she'll get over it." He paused for a moment. "She always does," he whispered in my ear as he wiped my tears away before helping me out of bed. "Do you want to play catch outside?" he asked. I nodded as we headed downstairs and out the door.

I was about to ask Tom a question while we were playing catch but then he threw the ball so far that it landed on the streets I ran over and got the ball I ran back to tom and we continued to play "your getting good at this" he said "I'm always good at this hahaha" I laughed dad came out and interrupted the game "dinners ready" he said I dropped the ball and walked inside while mum gave me a disapproving look I looked at dad he was putting the food on the plates it was steak and veggies ugh why can't parents have the food already on the table we all ate our dinner in silence mum made us some chocolates for desserts then we all headed to bed.

I woke up in the morning. My eyes widened when I remember we were going on a vacation. I was so happy since we were going on our first vacation ever! I ran from my bedroom. And I startled everyone as I shouted, "Everyone woke up it time to get ready. Were going on a vacation" I shouted. I ran down the stairs and turned the corner into the kitchen. When I got to the kitchen, I spotted an enormous pile of cereal on the floor.
