Locked

Chapter 5

That morning I was getting anxious and was beyond excited to think about the fact that by tonight I will be on my way to my new home! Everyone was asleep but I couldn't sleep so I got up and went for an early morning walk I was never going to miss this place. I absolutely hated it here although this morning it was actually kind of peaceful I think it was the fact I knew I didn't have to live here any longer. The sky was clear this morning I felt awkward staring into the sky but I couldn't help it, it was truly gorgeous. Before I know it my foot smacks against something hard and long on the ground I assume it was a root of a tree but I didn't have time to look because it sent me toppling down a hill my face smashed hard on the ground and I rolled and rolled I suddenly got tired very tired my eyes blinked and I slowly was fell asleep. I blinked once twice my lips stung like they were covered in salt my cheek was scraped I could feel the blood I tapped it and regretted it as soon as I did. I couldn't see much it was dark I could make out small objects but nothing to help me figure out where I was. I sat up my knee and back well everything in excruciating pain when I  did a light turned on making me squint. A large figure walked through the door. "Mom?" "No sweetheart its your father" I gasped as he came closer and making out his facial features I forgot what he looked like over the years then my stomach clenched up making me feel nervous again. "Where is mom and Jack?" "We're not sure after the fire we haven't found them yet." "Fire? What fire?" "In the woods your uncle we assume he started it but don't worry they are going to be just fine." "So where are we?" "This well this is a little Fort me and your mom made when we were really little we would come here each night and play and just have so much fun." "Is it safe here?""Yes we are far from where the fire is and it was put out hours ago anyways." A black Phone rang on the small table in the corner. He turned around and picked it up. "Yep" he yelled into the phone a faint voice a reached into the phone my father muttered than hung up the phone and looked at me "GET UP LET'S GO!" "What what!" "That was your mother she's she is at the market just like 6km away from here." "Let's go come on what are you waiting for hurry up!"We drove and drove in silence no one said a word until we finally reached the market. The sight of my mothers face made me freeze either it was because I was glad to see she was alive or that she looked awful scratched and burned Jack looked fine other than one long scratch across his forehead.
