When I regained conciousness I found myself in the woods. I had a massive headache now. I didn't know what time it was, but it was dark. I had a massive headache now. I didn't know what time it was, but it was dark. Great, my mom is going to kill me. I thought. I got up and tried to find my way out of the woods.My headache continued to get worse and worse. Wow I really need some Asprin or something else to get ride of my headache. After a while I felt like I was going in circles. I didn't know where I was. I had to be or at least I think. It was so dark.I saw light going by in the distance. That has to be the road. I thought. I went in the direction that I saw the lights go by. I was right. Thank God! I felt the trees to see if I could find the hollow one that I put my stuff in. I found it about ten feet from where I was. I reached in and grabbed my backpack, I set it on the ground and looked for my phone in the front pocket of it. I finally found my phone after a couple of minutes. I checked it. I am so dead when I get home. I had 15 calls and 20 text. The texts were, Where r u? Come home now! and answer me back. I checked the time on my phone and it was past midnight. AH! My mom is probably worried sick. I grabbed my backpack and started running home as fact as I could. I was about a mile away from my house. My house was pretty easy to spot since now all the lights were on. Great. I reached the front door. I paused before going in, I am in so much trouble. I reached for the door knob and turned it slowly. I walked in the door, no sign of mom yet. I walked into the living room and that's where I found mom. Although I thought that she would be up but she wasn't she was passed out on the couch with her pink, fuzzy bath robe. I grabbed a blanket from the closet and put it on her. I went up to my room, put my backpack on my bed, and got some pajamas. I went across the hall to the bathroom. When I looked in the mirror I was horrified I looked like a mess. There was mud and dirt on my face and clothes, there were leaves and sticks in my hair, and there was something different about me but I couldn't put my finger on it. I got the leaves and sticks out of my hair. I turned on the shower. I stripped my muddy clothes off and put them in the hamper, and I got into the shower. As I was taking my shower I noticed something, I had some mysterious tatoos on my arm. They were butterflies, but these weren't those colorful butterflies. No. These butterflies were pure black. I got out of the shower, dried off, and got my pajamas on. But before I went to bed I looked in the mirror. "That's weird," I looked down at my arm. "I don't remember getting tattos." After I starred at the butterflies for a few minutes. I went downstairs and wrote a note. It said:

Mom,

Sorry for not come home right after school. I'll explain everything when you get up. I'm sorry I scared you. I love you mom

-Racheal

I put the note on the coffee table hoping that she would see it. I went up to my bedroom, removed my backpack from my bed. Collapesed on it and fell asleep and wondered how much trouble I was going to get in.
