The sky is cloudy. Crack! I immediately jump awake. "What.." My Aunt walks in. "Oh honey you're up!" "I made pancakes for breakfast. Come down when you're ready!" She closes my door. "Sigh" it's been almost 9 years since I lost my mother due to the war going on in my old town. I walk down stairs. "Good morning Auntie. Good morning Tomas." I say in a tired voice. "HI ALEX!" My younger brother exclaims. " Auntie said you were going to take me on an adventure!" "Yea yea. Just let me finish my pancakes first."
It's 8:30 in the morning. Me and Tomas get ready to go out into the forest. My brother takes a few of his things with him. "Wow! I can't wait!" He says. "Yep." I say. I look over at my dresser, with the picture of me and my mother on it. I was 6 when we took that picture, my. Brother was barely 2. My eyes catch my pocket knife and I decide to take that as well. We head to the front door, before we go out our Aunt stops us. "Ok boys. Be good out there and Alex be sure to look after Tomas." "Yea I know." I say. We start out the front door. Just before we close it my Aunt shouts " And make sure to stay clear of that fence!" And we set off towards the forest.
