Hey my name is Alex Conion. I have brown hair, blue eyes and I am the oldest of four kids who all have... lets say spectacular things about them. Izzy is my twin sister, we look like each other but don't really look like twins. I know I said that I was the oldest but I am about 2 minutes and 13 seconds older than Izzy. The third of the four of us is Luke. He is 2 years younger than us. He is tall with blue eyes and dark hair. Last but not least is Meghan. She is short and has dark hair and brown eyes. Meghan and Luke are twins also, and I know what you're thinking. Wow 2 sets of twins? But it was bound to happen sometime.
So you remember when I said that we all have things that are strange about us? Good because that was only like last paragraph. Well I'm going to explain that a bit. I am deaf, Izzy is mute. We can talk to each other and Luke because we all learned sign language. Anyway Meghan is blind and Luke has really bad asthma. Which works out cause they both have to walk slow. He leads Meghan around, and is like her seeing eye dog.
We sound like a crazy messed up family huh? Well I haven't even started yet.
We don't tend to have very good luck when it comes to family. Our parents were brutally murdered across the hall from our rooms. our grandparents took us in from then on.
Anyways, one day we were out camping in this wooded area. There were cabins scattered all over the place. Now that I think of it there were only 5 cabins. Our grandparents had left us there for the weekend so we had no clue what do, being the rebellious and adventurous teens that we are we decided to go exploring. One of the cabins was much bigger than the others but I will get to that later. The only thing that made them different was that the buildings themselves gave off a different colored glow, its like they windows were stained glass, and all the lights were on. One was green. We all tried to walk into this cabin but I was the only one who could get into the cabin, Izzy signed to me that they couldn't get in. I don't know why, but they couldn't make it through the thresh hold. They decided to go check out the other cabins. I couldn't hear anything they were saying to me. Obviously I can't, I'm deaf. But I noticed something different, something I've never felt before. I thought maybe it was just separation anxiety from being apart from my siblings. But that wasn't it. Then I noticed I was hearing the rustling of the tree leaves. Wait! Hearing? I was hearing the rustling of leaves! No way! What was happening? The first thing I noticed about this cabin was the tree in the middle of the room. Why was a tree in the middle of a cabin? I wondered. It probably just grew through the floor, these cabins were really old! I walked over to the tree to see what was on the other side. I put my hand on the trunk to swing around it and immediately everything went dark. I was encased with leaves. How had I gotten up here? I tried to struggle my way down, but I felt trapped. I tried to reach down for a branch and fell down, then stopped unexpectedly. I thought I had hit the floor, but that was not the case. I opened my eyes, I was in a hammock made of vines. This wasn't here when I first came in. I stood up from the hammock, and they all immediately fell to the ground. I tried to pick one up but as soon as I knelt down it flew into my hand. I threw it on the floor and jumped up. What was going on? I wanted out, Now! So I ran out of the cabin and tried to find Izzy. I couldn't wait to tell her that I could hear the trees, and what had just happened to me! But as soon as I walked out the door, I couldn't hear anything again. My hearing was gone and I was back to normal. I cant lie I was disappointed, but I don't know if I could have taken much more of that stimulation. It was starting to freak me out.
