Peachy's prospective
     Where are we..? Brookey! Where is she..? No, it ca- Brookey?! Brookey was tied to a post and brused up. No! " BROOKEY!" I screamed in my head but no sound came out of my mouth. I  felt like withering into a ball and never coming out again. Brookey was gone...  l opened my mouth to call for help, to morn, to say anything but my voice cracked and I couldn't speak. Couldn't yell for the girls...the girls!? What would Lexi and Allie do? What would Stalkey think? Would Stalkey die of depression? No...how could this happen?
     I woke with a jerk, breathing heavily. Covered in sweat. It was a dream... I told myself a dream... I turned to see Brookey sleeping peacefully. She was ok the girls are ok. I stood up and got left over snake for breakfast. I bit into the juicy tender skin of the snake. I finished my food and saved some for Brookey. Suddenly I realized how quiet it was. No birds chirped. No breeze came. Not even a single bug in the middle of the morning. Something is wrong... Just as I was about to turn around... A shrill scream hit the cold air. I dropped my food and whirled around. "Brookey!" I cried. Brookey was gone. Brookey, Brookey answer me!" I pleaded. No answer came. Not even a scream to break the silence.
No! No, this can't be! Was my dream a sign, a warning? Tears trickled down my face. I whipped them away. I'm not going to cry. Not now, not ever. I stood slowly, legs trembling. I grabbed my nunchucks and Brookey's pistol. Then I looked at Brookey's sleeping bag in horror. I gasped at the sight. Brookey's ear had been torn off, blood around the scene. Her ear... who would do such a thing? I tried to stop them but the tears came poring down my red face. I sniffed and bit my lip to hold them back. No use. I shook my head and finally got control of myself. Another shocked scream hit the air. I turned on my heal and ran. I ran fast and hard not stopping for anything. I followed the shrilled screams and yell for help. Before I knew it I was on the ground in pain. I tried to stand but slumped weakly to the ground. Fear grabbed me like never before.
No! I have to get up, for Brookey. For the girls. For, for- Another scream- for their lives. I forced myself up fighting the pain with every bit of strength. I jogged slowly. I breathed hard and fast. For their lives. For their lives..! I used my last energy and once again, sprinted towards the cries for help. I ran harder than I ever would in my life. I ran. I ran for the girls, for Brookey, and most of all their lives. I sprinted on, hoping, praying my nightmare didn't come true.
