I look at the kid "Let's both ram the door." I said. I hear glass breaking in the background. I yell, "Now!" We both ram the door and the door knocked down, I say, "Come on." I and the kid jumped into a bush and stayed there dead silent. The man was dragging his scissors across the ground leaving a dirt trail behind him. I start to cry as the kid covers my mouth and whispers, "You gotta stay quite." I shake my head and stop crying, the man stopped and walked away. I said, "Thank God." The kid whispers in my ear, "My name is Preston." I say, "Hi Preston." "Follow me." He says. I follow him into the woods and see a cabin. "Where did you manage to get this?" I said. "Well, actually I just found it." He replied. "Oh," I say confused in a way. I followed him inside, "They're weapons here?" I ask. He replies, "Yep." I took a long look around the house and see there are only 2 rooms. "That's your room," Preston says. "COOL!" I scream. I see that there is a flat screen TV inside it and ask, "Why do they have a TV? I bet yah it doesn't even work." I press the power button and the power turns on. "People are dieing as a young girl by the name of Alyssa was hit by a car, her body was found rolled up in the streets of Des Moines Iowa." A news reporter says. The TV turns off automatically, the lights start to flicker. The power goes out. Preston says, "I have a flashlight in the kitchen I'll go get it." He comes back with the flashlight and says, "it's time for bed I guess." I say, "Well I might not be able to sleep but I'll try." Preston says, "Okay." I lay down and Preston leaves the room, I stare at the pitch black roof. I start to sing a song my mom always sang to me, "It's dark and cold..." I start to cry. And say, "I'm so sad that I can't even sing a song that you made." I start crying again and cry myself to sleep...
