SOPHIA's POV
Our vacation week was finally here. I was so excited, my older brother and I had been dreaming about the ocean since two weeks ago, when our parents had told us we were spending a week in our grandparents beach house. I was packed, our cat was with my friend Lillian, and our neighbors would be looking after our chickens for the week. We didn't know the neighbors very well, but mom said they seemed friendly enough, and they were the closest people for five miles around, because frankly we lived in the middle of nowhere. We left the neighbors directions on how to look after the six feathered friends and headed off on our day long drive to the beach house. We never could have expected what would happen when we returned.
