Once Upon a Time, I was with my friends Polyana, Lina, Kennedy, Asia, Lauren, and Gracie. We all went to this place called SoftRows camps. The people in that camp, separated us by 3's. So Mrs. Sandy took Lina, Gracie, and Asia. Mr. Johnson took Lauren, Kennedy, and Polyana. Mr. Miguel took me and two random kids named May and June. It was a depressing morning but when lunch came I saw my friends everyday but it's like we didn't know each other. Before we came to this camp we have supplies in our bags but the owners from this took our bags but we do have stuff in out pockets that the owners did not know of Polyana had 6 pairs of Thermal Socks in her pockets know she only has 4 socks. Lina, 1 pencil and 5 cubes in her pockets. Kennedy, 7 pennies and 5 beads in her pockets. Asia, 10 grapes and a sticker in her pockets. Lauren, 1 banana and 2 small apples. Gracie, 2 cherries and a piece of fabric in her pockets. I only had a pair of glasses and 2 envelope's in my pockets. We had no bed's in our rooms just the floor but we did have pillows and we used our sweaters to warm us up because it was winter no heat, no nothing, just air.

Next day, was another depressing day with nothing in hand, Mr. Miguel took us out for breakfast. I was eating, my friend Lina came over and said "The owners are taking us out to walk." I said "When? Now?" She said "Yes." I met all of my friends outside, the owners tricked us saying "Here is your challenge, don't come back, WAHAHA." We were surprised, the owners threw our bags. In each bag we only had 2 things, we were not allowed to open our bags until we found a place to rest. We brought May and June in our group so they won't suffer the torture in the camp. We walked, we ran, we went up and down mountains. Until we found 27 trees in a street called "extra-logo." Gracie and Lina slept in the first tree, May and Polyana slept in the second trees. Lauren and Asia slept in the third tree. Me, Kennedy, and June slept in the fourth tree next to the pond. The second day was a warm, beautiful day I heard a scream I looked down and I saw June, she fell out of the tree she said "I Can't SWIM." I said to myself "I can swim, I can swim." I jumped in I saved her. I swam to land. Lauren said "OOOO we can get fish from this pond so we can eat it." Lauren came closer to the pond. Then Gracie said "STOP, those fishes in that pond are poisonous they are called Stinkberries." I said "That's what stun me." I looked at my leg there was a big scratch on my leg. I used Gracie's piece of fabric and used 1 of my envelope's and put it around my leg. We were walking through the woods until we saw a blueberry bush, we started eating and May said "This is so good." Lauren said "Have you ever eaten a blueberry." May said "No." Lauren said "Really? No?, well don't eat to much or your tongue blue." May said "Really? OH MY GOSH." We went deeper in the woods, Asia saw this yellow light she said "What is this beautiful light, it's so......" I was looking for her I said "ASIA, asia, ASI...." I heard my name I looked down the cliff and saw Asia looking amazed. She saw a house, it was a wooden, vacant house. We all went in that house "it is old and filthy" Lauren said "I'm getting out of this house." "Wait" Kennedy said "don't go we can clean this up." May said "EW! What is that on your head, Lina!" Lina looked up and saw a spider on her head she said "Come here spider, here you go." I said "WOW, you just let the spider go not just kill it." Lina said "Yes, spiders have live's too." I said "Oh yea." "Hey guys" Polyana said "There is a light in one of the rooms." I said "Let me search in there." I went in that room and looked and saw a old man. I said "Excuse me, who are you." He turned around and said "I am a person." I said "I know your a person, but what are you doing here." He said "I live here." I said "Oh My Gosh you do? I'll get out of this house immediately." Troy said "It's fine, you can stay here with me, by the way My name is Troy, your name?" "My name is Autumn." I said. Troy said "Nice to meet you, is it just you or....." I said "No, I'm here with 8 friends, we came from a camp called Softrows Camps." "Oh I took my grandson Eddyson there I never saw him again." I said "I never saw a boy named Eddyson before." Troy said "You didn't, oh no what have I done." I saw the old man bursting into tears, it was sad to see the old man crying. I said "I will be back." Troy said in a crying voice "ok." I went outside to get some fresh air, I went at the back of the house and saw a boy. I said "Are you Eddyson." He. Odder and said "Yes." I said "Are you the grandson of Troy." He said proudly "Yes, I am, why, you found my grandfather." I said "Yes, come with me."
