POV- Endelyn

                I walk into my house quietly sneaking through the kitchen sneaking back upstairs.  “What should I put my things in,” I think to myself, not knowing what is acceptable to bring on an “adventure.”  Reentering my room, I head for my closet and grab a small denim backpack and shove in a change of jeans, a few t-shirts, and some personal items.  For the first time since I’ve awaken I realize I am not wearing shoes.  I switch my big gray sleeping shirt and my shorts for a pair of skinny jeans and a white tank with an olive green army jacket then pull my curls back and grab my hiking boots.

                I pick up my bag and head back out of my room stopping at the bathroom to pick up my toothbrush.  I don’t know if I will even have time to brush my teeth while I’m with this crew, but hey, can never be too sure.

                I make my way back down to the kitchen for the second time tonight.  Spotting a notepad and some paper, I walk towards the counter and quickly scribble a note.

                Mom & Dad-

                            I’m going off for a while; don’t know when I’ll be back.  Don’t call the police, I am not being kidnapped, nor am I running away.

   -E.

     I’m not sure if they’ll believe me, but it’s better than nothing.

 Boom!!  The entire house shakes.  I frantically grab a bunch of bananas and the loaf of bread, the only things on the counter, and run out of the back door, again.
