Thats what I write as I leave, gone for a trip. Then as I leave I think about my "Parents" Erin, and Will, they are both at work, completely unaware that I am leaving. I almost cry, but I stop myself with happy thoughts. I get into my car, and I drive. I drive for so long it seems like forever before I finally get to a hotel I can stay at. I walk in, and it smells so much like home it makes me remember my old life, before my real parents died.
I awakened to the soft, familier pitter-patter of rain on the roof top. I crawl out of my bed, and go over to Sarah. She is still sleeping on her bed. She got the bigger bed when we first moved in, but I got more closet space to store my clothes. I sat next to her bed, and waited for her to wake up as long as I could before eventually just giving up, and leaveing her there to sleep. I walked downstairs to my parents bedroom, and they are both sound asleep, so I walk into the living room, and look at what time it is. Only 3:49? I thought it would be later. I go back outstairs to my bedroom, crawl in bed, and go back to sleep.
"Miss? Are you ok? You have been standing there for quite awhile. Can I get you anything? A room, a drink, anything at all?"
I jump back into reality to answer her questions, "I am fine, thank you. I just need a room."
"Of course, here is a key, it is 30$ per night. How long will you be staying?"
"Just one night, thank you."
"Your welcome, rest up dear, you don't seem well."
"I will, have a nice day."
"Oh, dear, its night."
"It is?"
"Yes, its 8:17, you really should get to sleep."
"Ok, I will, I didn't realize how late it was." I walk to my room and come inside. It is perfect sized for me. It has wallpaper on the walls, and carpet on the ground. I set down my small bag, and crawl into bed. The bed is alittle lumpy, but it is better than nothing. As I fall asleep I think about my family once more.
"Kate, Kate wake up! We are under attack again!"
"Sarah? Sarah whats going on?"
"Just come with me Kate! They are after us again!"
"Where is mom, and dad?"
"They are packing! Now come on!"
Sarah pulls me out of bed, and helps me pack only what I need. Once we are packed we run downstairs, and our parents pull us out the back door. We run through the back yard, and we don't slow at all once we get to the stream. The cold water flows through my toes, and past my feet as I continue to run. We get out of the water and move into the woods. I am trying to watch my step, but not succeding, and cutting my feet all over as I run when suddenly I hear a loud noice, and my dad loosens his grip on my hands, and falls to the ground. I hardly have time to look back, and see if he is ok before my mother is shoot too. Sarah grabs me, and pulls me down a different path in the woods. We keep running, and the tears pour down my face. Eventually we get out of the woods, and run into a large building. Sarah lets me go, and I fall to the ground. She comes down with me, and we hold onto eachother as people I don't know tell me everything with be ok.
