Set in New Moon
CHAPTER 1
" If I ever get the change. I will make him pay for what he has done"With tear running down my cheeks. I picked my self off the forest's muddy ground. My muscles ached making me wish I hadn't moved. The scratches that are all over my body just made moving worse. I looked around for my clothe more than happy that they were only two feet away. Putting on my clothe was a task far to difficult than it should have been.
Twenty minutes later I started walking towards the direction I hoped my house was in. I'm lucky there was still sunlight out. Still i have to make the best of the three hours of sun that I have left. I don't have time to sit around if I have to come back and try another direction.
An hour later I still couldn't recognize or see my house. My tears had run out thirty minutes ago. I stopped and leaned against a tree. It was all I could do to rest at the bottom of a medium sized hill. I wouldn't be able to get up if I sat down. I was starting to feel dizzy. As I looked down at my clothe grateful that they weren't torn I could see the blood was seeping through but it wasn't much.
Few minutes later I started moving up the hill. I was tired my muscles are on fire. My skin irritated from the clothe moving against every scratch he did to me. None were from the forest I was laying in less than two hours ago. I'm glad I still have over an hour of daylight but I don't think I'll have that much time left before I can't move anymore.
It should have taken maybe two minutes but it took me five minutes later to get near the top. If I can't see anything after looking around up there I am going to have to try another direction. If this isn't the right path there's no way I can survive out here.
Once I got to the top I fell to my hands and knees. I could feel my clothe getting wet from the blood and now sweat. Breathing wasn't easy by this point. I got my hands off the ground and stayed on my knees to look around. There, about 50 yards away passed all the trees and bushes I could see it. My house. If I would of gone the way he left I would not have survived having to walk back and tried another way. I realize now. Instead of flashing away b4 my eyes. He took the time to walk away a few feet looking back to make sure I was looking the way he went then disappeared. It was it the opposite direction.
" That bastard like I would ever follow him. After he showed me who he really was." Breathing got a little easier. I stood up on shaky legs using the tree as help. Anger, determination and hope are the only things making my limbs move as I start walking towards the house. I can see it. Ill be able to reach it before night fall.
Getting closer to the house I had to stop often to catch my breath. The closer I got the more determined I was to get there to survive this. I will not let him be the end of me. A few feet away from the tree line that separates my back yard and the forest I stopped.
"I made it." The sky is getting dark. I start moving across the yard. Wondering if it's a good thing or bad thing that Charlie is on double shift today and wont be back till morning. I decide good. It's betters that he will not know. Safer for him.
I opened my back door and entered my kitchen. I just stood there after closing the door. My keys still on the table next to my backpack. Dirty dishes from my breakfast still in the sink. Looking around it's all as it was before I left nothing change and why should it. Just because I have doesn't mean the world will change with me.
