I wake up to find out I forgot my dream but, I knew it was the glass house. I can feel all my senses tingling I am alert. My sister screams "get in here Ava!" I do as told because I don't want to get in trouble. Once I am in I sense a toxic smell like no other. "I spilled my nail polish all over and you need to clean it up before brother wakes up if it isn't clean or if the smell is worse I will blame it all on you". As I start to clean I remember the dream.

Dream Starts

I was standing on the porch when … I hear a scream its suddenly pierced into a moan. I run in to find a shadow slipping down the stair well.

Dream ends

That's all I can remember. I finish scrubbing the black polish until it fades into the carpet. I hear 3 booming knocks"knock knock knock". I know its not my sister she would just burst in its brother good its all clean I take off my nose plug. UH-OH. And with that I faint when I wake my brother is standing in the room with the nose plug on. Its so bright so I close my eyes. "Punishment time my favorite your sis explained everything to me so I will give you 2 choices 1 spanking about 10 or no meals tomorrow ". He waits I furrow my brow thinking as soon I am done thinking I blurt "no food" here at least. Before bed I check the calendar June 10. In 2 days was my b-day but I shared my birthday with reaping. Ugggggggggggggg. Today had been a long day I was tired so I fell asleep. In the morning I woke up at 4:00. I put on my boots and scribble a note :

Dear Callie,

I will be at school today have fun at home

Love Ava

When I was done I hoped that my lie would fool her I run out side into the crisp air. I grab my purple bike and dash for the road it's a mile to the unarmed fence not blocked by peace keepers. I ride it takes me about 3 minutes. Once there I hide my bike in a pile of wood. Run to the fence. I pull my leather sleeve over my fist and touch my fist to the wire. Not hot. I slip through the hole I've made.
