I kept on running not looking back if the officer was still chasing me.

Without a thought running through my mind I stopped.

My whole body had won me over, I was exhausted; my bones felt heavy on my skin. I couldn't keep going.

But I still didn't stop.

I got to a tree I decided to climb it because it had a little slope on the branch.

I climbed.

"Ouch." I murmured.

I finally reached the branch, and I just slammed my body against it. Hanging like a tiger with its arms down and legs hanging.

*Next day*

"Hey!!!"

"Hey!!" I hear a girl repeat.

"Get off my tree that's my spot go get your own tree." She told me.

I woke up to a little girl screaming at me. But I couldn't understand.

I figured out that she wanted this tree so I dropped myself to the ground.

Straightening myself to look at the girl.

We had an awkward stare for a few minutes.

"Honey."

"Sweetheart."

"Where are you..."

"Oh....he-ll-o"

This lady was calling out for someone. I'm guessing it was the mom of the little girl.

"Hi." I softly spoke.

"You can talk." Said the little girl.

"Honey! Don't be rude."

"I'm not! She just wouldn't talk when I told her it was my tree."

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry sweetie, are you lost?" The lady asked while bending down to my level.

I nodded my head thinking she said if I was hungry.

I was totally wrong.
