me and my brother Tommy, my four year old brother, and sammy, his twin. were playing in our backyard when my mom called us in for supper. in the middle of our dinner an important news cast changed our chanel to the news stasion. they were reporting about a 8.6 earthqauke in our area and our family had to evacuate in the next four days or we would miss all the buses and trains evacuating us and we would be forced to stay in the area and get caught in the earthquake. my dad was trying to calm my mother down who was panting in fear. after a quick diner my mom made us pack up all the valubale thing we had, and they had to fit in a backpack because thay want us to travel light.
i went into my room and started to pack my things i packed my card collection, three stuffed animals, a bear, a dog, and a pig, i also brought my piggy bank, a radio and some cds. but when i was going to pack my clothes there was no room to fit them, that was when it hit me, i was leaving home.
i unpacked all the stuff i had already packed and started with my clothes. there was a little room in the backpack for a book or a blanket, but that was all the room i got. i went downstairs to ask my dad if i could please bring more things. but nomatter how much i pleaded and begged he still said no. so i went back upstairs and finished packing.
when i was done i came down stairs and my dad was cuddling my mom in her arms as she was weaping. there were two giant suit next to cases them, i said to my dad "why do you get a huge suitcase?!" and he said because we are grownups and need more things than children. i was about to yell at him when i looked at how bonevolent my mom was, you could pretty much feel the sadness in the air and i realized that this must me feally hard for her, so i backed off.
i went to sit on the couch when my dog came down the steps, she was an old dog, almost fourteen. she curled up at my feet and fell asleep. she was so cute when she slept, she would make this little sound like s muffled snore. her name was Percy. she had buitiful black hair and she was a blacklab. my mom wanted to catch one of the earliest buses out or the town. but the next day, right before we were about to leave, tommy was missing! my mom and my dad scaned the entire house searching for him. but they couldn't find him. we drove all around the town with me and sammy, we even asked everyone on the neighberhood, but no awswer.
it was the last day until all the transpotation stoped and the town was nearly abandon. i was very tired after three straight days of looking for him. sammy was snoring very loudly, i almost wanted to duck-tape his mouth shut. my mom was very frantic looking for him because the next, and lats train left tommarow morning. we found him about an hour later, he was crawling around in the middle of the road and we almost hit him! my mom picked him up and we were speeding home, noone even cared that we were speeding because the last people were all speeding to the train station to the train tomarrow left as aproxomatly five o clock.
the next morning my mom was packing us into the car. i asked if Percy was coming and she said "remember, no pets on trains." i said that if she wasn't coming than i'm not either. my mom was pleading for me to come but i said no! i went into the house and sat next to percy and awaited the earthquake. then sammy crawled into the room and i heard the car drive away. then i ran outside and yelled at the top of my loungs "YOU FORGOT SOMETHING!", but the car kept on driving.
an hour later the ground started with the tiniest tremble. i realized what had done and ran to the train station carring sammy. he started to cry, and let me tell you something, when he cries he is so loud you could hear him over a croud at a concert! i ran as fast as i posiply could! i few minutes later of running top speed i was so tired, i almost droped sammy.
on the train my parents were just realizing that sammy was gone! then my mom started to cry so hard that in a few minutes there was a little puddle at her feet! she huged my father dozens of times. tommy realized he was gone to and started to cry also.
me and sammy got into the city, there we tried to get into an office building to reach a phone and call someone, but it was locked. we ran around the city looking for an unlocked door, but they were all locked. i was running to another building, and that is when the real shaking started.
