   My name? Oh its Mia! I'm seven no eight years old and i'm hiding from my daddy's big brother saddly my mama and daddy aren't together. daddy said he only stayed with her because of me. 'cus i'm his little girl and he wanted what was best for me, and that he didn't want me to live with mama 'cus she lives with criminals.

   "mia, oh mia! common sweety, uncle bow isn't gonna hurt you. i just wanna play a game with you, a really fun game.... for me." i didn't need to see his face to know he wears a sadistic grin.

   im in a large tree hugging the trunk and if it wasn't for my black shorts green t and dark skin he would see me. the next thing i know is something wrapped around uncle bows leg and yanked him tell he was upside down and looking at a head with no hair or face.

   "oh god! no." as he says this the tall thing's skin rips open and he growls. "don't eat me, you can have the girl." when he said that i snapped, i yanked a long stick off the tree and threw it like a javelin. it impaled itself into my uncles head.

   i sit perfectly still and watch as the tall thing does what i guess is scan the surrounding forest. his eyes slide right over me but static fallows and a voice."show yourself!" loud enough to make me flinch.

   the voice is in my head for some reason. "im so not doing that."i feel the static intensify when i think that. it takes all  the will power i have to not make a sound, but i manage.

   im pushed out of the tree and next thing i know is im having to grab random branches to slow my decent and keep from going splat on the forest floor. but instead of falling on y but after falling out of a tree, i hit the ground hard and running. when i no longer hear the static i slow but keep a fast pace in case i need to bolt again.

   after a bit i hear voices,mostly male only one female. "slender said we have to find the boy." curse my dark boyish features and brown dreadlocks!

   "is the boy cute?"i grimace at that boys are nothing but yucky.

   "na slender said he was young. about as old as sally when she came to live with us." sally? thats my mama's name. the voices are getting closer, i need up, tree climbing time.

   soon people were below me and tree was above me. "hay anyone out here?" i deside to have some fun and start throwing pine cones at then. one of them says. "oh no its attack of the squirrels!"this makes me laugh causing me to lose my balance and land on a boy with brown hair and eyes to match.

   "oww. well that hurt." i roll off the boy and sit up, rubbing my head. i play dumb and look at the boys, and one girl. " what? never see a kid fall out of a tree?" not waiting for an answer i stand jump grab a branch and  yank myself up onto it. i was just out of reach when my phone rang. "hello?"

   "mia!? baby is that you?"   

its mama!" hi mama." 

   "where are you? i called your father and he said he sent you to bows house because he couldn't feed you anymore. mia is that true?"

   i nod. "yes mama its true."

   "ok baby, is their anyone you think you can trust around."

   i look down and look at the people." um their are some people under the tree im in, but they look mean."

   "baby is one of them wearing a orange hoodie or yellow jacket with a mask? if so hand him the phone."

   i sigh not really liking the fact that i have to get within grabbing distance. i turn myself upside down and end up right in front of one of the boys mama described, i hold out my phone. "my mama wants to talk to you."he takes the phone and when one of them reaches for me i skuttll back into the tree.

   the boy i handed my phone to rushes off and returns with a woman that has long brown hair and eyes that match my own. "mia?"

   my eyes water and i climb out of the tree and run up to my mama tackling her in a big hug.

   "lets go home baby."she kisses my forehead and caries me off so i can sleep in her arms.
