The bio is chapter one, so read that first. Thanks!

I ran upstairs and got my gear ready. Food, water, anything. I got my Axe, just in case if I run into any animals. I got dressed for this occasion. T-Shirt, Khakis, all those sorts of things. I slipped on my new blue boots, and jumped out the window.

I left a note for my mother. It said, "I am leaving to find my Long Lost Twin. Wish me luck and I will be back probably this weekend. Love, Oncie."

"I hope mother won't cry. I know she won't. She's probably, storming off." I ranted as I ran through the leafy woods. I hit leaves and twigs. The twigs scratched up my face as I ran.

I saw a giant branch coming toward me. As soon as I could duck, my head hit the tree and I fell backwards.

Everything went black. I saw myself. Falling, falling. I heard voices. "You should go back." This high pitched voice said.

"Save me. Someone." Said a voice that sounded quite like mine.

I opened my eyes and saw the sky. It was surrounded with trees. I sat up and saw a lion, staring right at me. I gave a girly scream and ran. "Oh gosh, oh gosh! Aaaah!" I screamed. I had an idea. "My Axe! Just need a perfect time to do it."

The lion sped after me. Paw by paw, very elegantly. I whirlled back and cut my Axe clean in that animal's head. It whinned and fell to the ground. A pool of blood started flowing. "Well, there's dinner tonight!" I said as I stared at the corpse in horror.

It was close to midnight and I was still awake. I made a fire, but it made no difference. Although, I realized I had some marshmallows in my pack. I got those out, got a stick, and got cookin'. The marshmallow slowly turned golden brown. I blew on the gooey marshmallow so it would cool down enough for me to eat. I slid the marshmallow off the stick and ate it in one bite. Marshmallows are good, you know.

I looked at the lion I had killed. It still lay there. Axe in it's head and all. "I'm not going to eat that. I've lost my appetite, just by looking at it." I said. Honestly, I feel bad for that lion. It just wanted some food. But, why me? I'm all skin and bones, no meat on me. Sure, they can rip off my skin and chew on my bones, but that would do no good to the lion. Like I said, no meat.

I fell asleep at 2:56 am. It was dark and I kept hearing noises in the distance. I heard owls, wolves, coyotes, crickets, even monkeys! Finally I went to sleep. This night has been tough. I need something to fix my face, too. But, for now, you'll have to wait for the next chapter. So long!
