Chapter 3:

No place like home, isn't there?

It had been three months after Garfield recovered from the illness. His parents had been nothing, but helpful and encouraging. Garfield was able to transform into few small animals. His parents were always there for him, along his sides. Without them, Garfield won't know how he will survive. Without them, he would be dead three months ago. Even though, Garfield was born and lived in Africa for 6 years. Their real home is in Oregon, United States. Garfield and his parents were loading the boat, and set off into the sea. Returning to home, Garfield was excited. He traveled all over Africa, he never had home. Now his parents decided it was time to return home. They had been in the boat for days, Garfield didn't mind as long he has his parents' attention which that was rare occurrence. They played games, telling jokes; they even stopped the boat to swim in the ocean. His parents didn't realize how powerful their son is, and how many people willing to kidnap him for money and power. As they were nearing Oregon, it was dark night. They will arrive in next morning. Mrs. Logan tucked Garfield in his bed after telling his favorite story, "Princess and the Frog" She kissed him on his forehead; Mr. Logan came him and kissed him on his forehead as well. "Good night, we will be home first thing in the morning." His father said, "Sleep tight kiddo." They turned the lights off and closed the door. "Good night mommy, good night daddy!" Garfield called before the door was completely closed. It wasn't long until Garfield heard some strange noise coming from top of the boat. He got up and walk to the door. That was when he heard a scream, his mom's scream. He yelled, "Mommy!" He opened the door and ran upstairs. He was hiding behind the wall, he could see around dozen men in black clothes surrounding his parents.

"Where is that green kid?" One man asked, "Tell us, then we will leave you unharmed."

"Never" Mr. Logan shouted at the man.

"Oh well then…" the man turned to his men, "Spread out! That green kid should be hiding somewhere in the boat."

The men spreads out, three men ran passed Garfield who is quietly hiding in the corner. Tears are coming out. 'What is happening?' He thought. He quietly creped out of the corner and toward to the man who kept asking his parents where he was. His mother saw him, her eyes widened. 'Go hide' she mouthed desperately, but Garfield doesn't understand. The man saw Mrs. Logan mouthing, he turned and saw him. He smiled, "Hello kid, how are you doing?"

Garfield stares blankly at him. His skin was white, shaggy brown hair, brown eyes, and a smile full of ugly yellow teeth. Then he looked at his parents. Mr. Logan is hugging his wife, whispering repeatedly "It will be ok." Garfield slowly looked back at the man, "What are you doing to my mommy and daddy?"

"Oh, we were trying to look for you so we can go home."

"DON'T LISTEN TO HIM GARFIELD, RUN NOW!" His dad shouted

The man turned and took his gun out and shot him. The blood splattered on Mrs. Logan. She screamed as his husband fell on her arms. He looked up to his wife and said his last words, "I love you Marie, stay strong." Then he dropped dead, blood everywhere on the floor, on Marie. Garfield watched his dad died front of him, his eyes widened. He froze in shock, unable to do anything but watch. Watching his mother who is now angry, stood up front of the man, "How dare you!" then she grabbed the man and screamed at Garfield, "CHANGE INTO A BIRD AND FLY AWAY NOW!" Garfield snapped back, stumbled and turned and started to run. He stopped when he heard another gunshot; he turned and saw his mother lying in pool of the blood alongside his father. He turned and tried to turn into bird, but he was too late. Three men grabbed him and throw him inside cage. All men dressed in black got on smaller boat, carrying Garfield in the cage, paddling away from his boat with his parents inside. When they got far enough, one of the men pressed the red button. The boat exploded, burning, slowly sinking. It seemed like hours, the boat vanished from his sight.
