Let it begin


After listening to the recordings I knew I had to do the best of blessing the house as possible. I had 4 days left and I needed to have it done. All the people had to be out of the house. But how would I go about getting everyone out of the house? I sat in the chair looking around. There has got to be a way.

I sat there for a while longer until it hit me. What is something people don't like. At first I thought it was loud music but I like loud music. And then I thought about smells. Then rotten eggs. I knew where the air units were so if I got some rotten eggs and stunk up the place then it would drive people out. I went over to the window. There was a farm about 5 miles from here. I REALLY didn't want to sneak out again but I kind of needed to.

I waited until nana got her shower and went back to sleep and night time rolled around. As before I stayed in bed until I was sure everyone was sleeping. I slowly got up and went to the bathroom. Only nana woke up. "What are you doing?" She asked. "Going to the bathroom. My stomach hurts" I said. She mumbled and rolled over. I went in the bathroom and sat there and waited until I was sure she had fallen back to sleep.

I put my shoes on, my jacket on and went outside. The air was warm but I still wanted my jacket. I started down the road until I came across a police car driving past. I ran full speed to the closest building I could find. My heart was pounding. If he spotted me I was busted. I watched as they slowed down but never stopped. When it was safe I continued my quest.

By the time I reached the fence I was completely out of breath. I almost started to jump it when I realized it was electric. And that sucked. Because I now had to find the stupid opening. I walked off to the side when I found a dug out spot. I got on my stomach and crawled under. I was in. I started walking to what looked like a barn when I stepped in something. I looked down with just the little bits of light from the moon I could tell it was manure. I let out a sigh but kept on walking. This was just what I needed.

When I reached the barn I saw absolutely nothing. No chickens. Nothing. Now I am from the country, and I know not all farms have chickens, but I was really hoping this one did. I went over to these horse stalls. They were empty. But there was manure there too. I had to bring something back. So guess what I chose. Yep, you got it. I got a slab of wood and piled on the crap with a piece of glass, trying to breath.

When I felt like I had enough I started back. Now I don't know how but I must have avoided all the actual cows before. Do to the lack of light I didn't know I was actually walking next to one until it 'moo'ed. I jumped it least 5 feet in the air. And you didn't have to tell me once to run. I just did. And I didn't stop until I was about halfway home.

When I finally reached the door I went right to the air units and stuffed as much manure in the vents as possible. I went over to the our room and washed my hands and arms. My shoes and all. By the time I got back in bed it was about 5:24am and I knew I stunk like something awful but I didn't care.

-the next day-

All I woke up to was people beating on our door. And the second you opened your eyes you knew why, not only had my plan worked but it OVER-worked. The place stunk to high heaven! People were throwing up in the halls and running out the door. "Get out of the house" a girl said and left. "Oh! Lord! What is that smell?!" Nana said jumping up. I acted like I didn't know and covered my face. "I don't know. " I said getting up with her. When we walked outside, Bernie was standing there looking right at me as if to say, 'I know it was you, you like brat' but I just acted like the rest of the people. "We are going to have to go to the church and stay there until someone can some out here and take care of the smell" he said.

We all walk over to the church down the street. The same one I got my holy water from. Bernie went to the priest and explained why we were here. He looked at us and walked in his office. A thought crossed my mind. What if he knew I stole the holy water from here. No. There was no way. But now that the house was empty, I needed to do was I came here for.
