The will to set yourself free

The Sudden Move

Every morning was quiet. Nothing really happened in the small, quiet town my mother and I lived in. I was the youngest daughter of my mother, I had two older sisters but they were already living on their own and had their own children. They were my half sisters since my mother married my real father. I have a little brother named Timmy on my dads side, different mother.I didnt have any full blood siblings sadly, but we still loved each other very much. I went to a private middle school that cost about four thousand dollars a year. My mom worked a full time job at a court house as a secretary, she had to get the money some how since she didn't have a college degree to get a good paying job. Most of my family grown ups didn't really finish college.

Every morning I had to wake up at six just to get dressed, brush my long dark brown hair and teeth, than quickly eat the breakfast my mom made me since I had to be at school at seven in the morning. I felt like a robot, nothing new was happening in my life. 

             "Raven! Come on now, you can't be late anymore or you'll get detention!" my mothers voice echoes up the stair way to my bedroom that was on the second floor of our cabin. My mothers friend let us move into this cabin since we had no where else to go after we left our old home for reasons I don't recall anymore. I've grown to like this place to be honest, I had a secret room in my closet that was invisible by all my hanging clothes. All I had to do was crawl in through the small door and I would be in my own fantasy land, where I could forget the horrors I grew up with that the evil man inflicted on me ever since I was nine.

       I slowly got up from my bed with a yawn. "Come on Raven! Don't make me call you again!" yelled my mother. I sighed and opened my door "I'm awake mom, ill be downstairs in a minute!" I walked over to my dresser and got out a pair of blue jeans and short sleeved shirt. Once I was finally dressed I brushed my long brown hair up into a high pony tail and raced down the stairs. "Morning!" I said to my mother with a smile. She smiled at me as she set down my bowl of cereal, "hurry and eat, don't want to be late for school" she said and walked back to her room to get finished getting ready. I didn't sit down to eat my cereal, instead I ate it fast standing up. Putting the bowl in the sink I raced back upstairs to my bathroom and brushed my teeth and slipped on my tennis shoes grabbing my book bag along the process. "Let's go" called my mother as she walked out the door. I raced down the stairs and ran out the house, shutting the door carefully. My house was surrounded by a forest and to get to our house you had to travel down a dirt road. I got into the back seat of the car and my mom started the car and pulled out of our driveway.
