The path
By: Cherokee s Bryant
Storm takes care of her little brothers Dakota, Dan, and Ayven. Also her little sisters Mariah Bryant, Mariah Simpson, and lexi. See storms parents married and her dad had a daughter Mariah Simpson a son Ayven and lastly a daughter lexi. The rest were her moms. Dakotas 11. Mariah b. is 13. Mariah s. is 8. Lexis 4. Ayvens 6, And Dan's 14. Storm is 17. Her parents split up 2 years ago so storm takes care of her siblings because her mom is an alcoholic. She doesn't see her real dad he moved to New York City when she was born.
"Get out" storm yelled to Dakota go to your own room. "God dang" storm mumbled to herself. "Get in the bed" storm yelled to all her siblings. "Yall got school tomorrow" she screams. Meanwhile she sits in her room thinking about the camping trip she's going on tomorrow after school. She has all her stuff ready and the baby sitter is picking the kids up from school. Her, gabby, Tristen and talon are going. All day in school she stares at the clock. Then the bell rings she runs out the door and meets her friends they immediately leave for the woods. When they get there they set up their tent. Then they take a walk. They soon can't find the path. They panic not knowing what to do. Gabby yells to the top of her lungs "we are all going to die". "That's nonsense talk gabby" Tristen says "wolfs are going to eat us one at a time slowly and painfully". Talon comments and says "yall are stupid the aliens are going to get us" "we'll be all right" I step in and say. "Just step back and breathe". "Look for the path" I advise. Were all franticly looking for the path but no one finds it. I'm scared out my mind and so are they. I hit the ground and began crying. Then I remember I have a cell phone in my pocket. "I got a cell phone, I got a cell phone" I yell. I take it out but there's no signal. "God dang" I say "there's no signal". "Ahhhhhhhhh" we all scream. "My brothers and sisters, my alcoholic mom, the dad I never seen before in my life I'm losing it all". "My brother, he's the only thing I got I love him" gabby says aloud. "My mom and her fake hard hugs, my little brother, my big sis, it's all gone". "My Korean family, my dog who follows me to school, my 11 brothers and sisters, I can't believe I'm never going to see them again".
After 20 days the police helicopter finds them. When storm sees her siblings she cries and apologizes surprisingly her mom isn't drunk and doesn't reek of beer. They hug and everything is ok. Talon hugs her dog and talks to her family they forgive her. Gabby runs to her brother and tells him he's the only thing that she has. Tristen hugs her brother and mom and says "owwwwwwwww I love you". Everything is ok no aliens or wolfs. Still to this day at the age of 25 Storm still tells this story.
Storm's mom went back to drinking and she still has to take care of her brothers and sisters. She says she will never go on another camping trip again!!!!!!!! Gabby, tristen, and talon are all ok and say the same thing as Storm. They will always be careful with whatever they do.
