"Kendall get to bed, it's 8:30pm."

"Okay dad, I'll get to bed once I finish cleaning up here."

"Okay. Well your Mom and I will be in bed, so don't disturb us ok?"

"Yes dad."

He then walked back upstairs, and I  heard a door slam. I started to clean up like I said. I knew I didn't have to, but if someone came down and they saw me just sitting around, looking at the clock, I'd be in big trouble!

It was finally 9:00pm. I knew they'd be asleep soon, since they had to get up early. I checked around the house to make sure no one was coming. I was so nervous! If I got caught, they would definetly kill me! I quickly grabbed a bag, and filled it with some food, and water. I packed small things so it wouldn't be too heavy. I quickly wrote a note telling them I went to bed at 9:20pm. I quickly, and quietly went upstairs, and put the sticky note on their door. While I was there I put my ear to the door to see if they were awake or not. Thankfully they weren't! All I could hear was snooring. I crept into my room to grab my teddy bear that I had gotten when I was just a baby. I quietly closed my bedroom door, and headed for the stairs. I once again checked that they were still sleeping. They were. I went down the stairs, and grabbed the bag. I slowly, and quietly opened the front door.

"Freedom here I come!" I whispered to myself.

I went outside and closed the door. I ran as fast as I could! I had to get away quickly! I ran past our neighbours, and went straight to the forest.

"This will be my new life. No more being hit, or told what to do. I am free, and can do whatever I want to!"
