It's Wednesday and its dark out as I read a magazine about the last hunger games." Lights out!" Ronda shouts from downstairs as she walks out the door." Alright!" I shout back right as she closes the door. I sigh and set the magazine on my nightstand and pull the covers up to my chest and turn the lights off. My eyes close, letting darkness wash ever my vision.

I wake up and sit straight up. I hear a creak on the side of my house and my mind flashes back to that night and my senses take over. I hear muffled voices outside and quickly grab a black bag and start packing things. I change into black clothes and quickly leave the room but not before checking the clock.12:35. I hide in Ronda's room and hear the window opening. Footsteps shuffle around before i hear whisper shouting. I open the door slightly and see the same two men and I stifle a gasp. They are the same men from my old home! They start to search the room and when they didn't find what their looking for they move on to the next. I quickly make sure they are distracted before seeking back into my room and silently grabbing a black bag before stuffing it with clothes. I quickly open my apocalypse set and grab all things inside and quickly leave the room. I see the men still looking for me and quickly run down the stairs and run through the front door. I run down the street to the beginning of my neighbourhood and wait behind the sign to se if I was followed. I then remember in every movie I've seen, the girl always hides behind the obvious thing and then get caught. I get up and hide in some bushes. I instantly regret this when I feel the thorns sink into my skin through my clothes. I start to get out but then quickly stop as voices become louder and I freeze. I now see their feet running around the area checking behind the sign and trees. I slowly start to sneak back into the forest. As I stretch my foot back I realize that there was a steep hill behind me but before I can go forward I slip and fall down the hill. Twigs and leafs get matted into my hair as I fall.

When I reach the bottom I'm pretty sure I cut my arm ten times along with my face. I quickly toss leaves onto me and what ever I can to try and conceal myself. Once I'm pretty sure that I'm mostly covered I lye there for as long as I need to before they leave." That must have been her." One says. I lay as still as possible and not breathing. I hear them run off and I slowly get up trembling from the adrenaline rush. I get and check to see how bad I was cut. My arm has beads of blood everywhere. Some cuts are running down my arms and legs but the worse one is on the back of my hand. I quickly get out my first aid and grab some band aids to cover the worst ones. After this I start to walk up the hill carful not to fall. Once at the top I start to walk back but then I realise that they might come back to checked I made it. So I decide to run home and hide in the forest behind the house. I wait for Ronda to return which takes for ever and when she finally arrives she seems too drunk to even recognise me as I run up to her." Hello, is there a reason for the army to visit me?" She say slurred and almost falls down as she attempts to get to the front door. I sigh and help her in." It's Tyler and I'm not in the army though that would have been helpful a few minutes ago." I say as I set her down onto the leopard couch with ten cats on it. She instantly falls asleep and almost kills a cat in the process. I sigh and relive she isn't going to any help. So I grab the phone and call 911 but before I do I think about what I'm going to say." Yah hi it's me again and those same guys tried to kill me again but their gone now. Just thought you should know so you can send a FBI agent over to protect me so yah. Bye!" I sigh and I dial." Hello 911, how can I help you?" A man says in the other line." I've tried to be murdered a couple months ago and now the same people tried again so yah." I say and hear Ronda get up and then collapse, this time on a cat." Alright please stay where you are and we will get to you soon." He says." Alright my address is-"" We already know where you are. Your the girl who was shot in the shoulder and moved with her aunt." He says and just say." We'll be there just be sure to look out for anything suspicious." He says finally before hanging up. By now Ronda had gotten to the kitchen and was barfing in the sink. I sigh, go over, and hold her hair back while plugging my nose. How many did she have? Once she finished I hear the sound of a car pulling up into the driveway and I quickly pull Ronda into the bathroom where she mumbled." Are we going to Narnia?" I sigh and make sure she is sitting down next to the toilet. I hear the doorbell ring and I go to open it but not before checking to see if it was someone who wanted to kill me. A man in a police uniform is standing on the sidewalk with his hands on his hips. He resembles a vulture to the hunch in his back and the pointy nose as he glares at the door as if he could melt it with his stare. I slowly open and he looks at me." Are you the girl who was attempted to be murdered?" He asks and I nod. He slide past me into the house and I pray to God that he doesn't hear Ronda singing the spongebob fun song. He walks past the bathroom but not before looking at the door and looking at me. I smile and rush him into the living room where he is assaulted by cats. He frowns when he sits down and ten cats already perched on his arms, legs, shoulders, and one attempting to get on his head.

" We have a lot to talk about so let's hope your aunt doesn't need you to help her with her hair." He says and pulls out some papers and a pencil and pad of paper.
