i bolted straight up in my bed not knowing anything that had just happened. not knowing whether i had a dream or it was just my parania kicking in. it was the same every night but every time i chacked my slef over there was nothing there. i had a feeling it was some thing to do with the school the hunters and feeling and inch from death the second i wake up but i know it was true or was it. not sure any way i would have to remind my self on how to try and get better dreams.

jumping put of bed i through on some clean clothes. ice had done the washing and i walked out in the landing hall. every one was alseep it was still dark o'clock but it wouldnt be long till every one was up we were early risers morning people except for me i loved my sleep but i never got much of it i moved to much .

now my house three wings it was awsome i mean yeah people have big house but this house is wicked the east wing west wing and north wing. i always sounded like some posh kid but i was nothing like it my family always teases me for it . as i looked out the window facing south i saw the sun starting to pop through the horizon see we lived in the middle of no where up a mountain. no other people in sight for miles and we are safe from every one we can be our selves which is nothing like you i might add.

now if you rated your house from one to ten what would it be 5 6 maybe 9 at the most if you really liked it then a ten ut every one in my family rated our house at a 15 sometimes 20 it was fantastic. even better you live with adults or around adults we dont . not a single adult not sice jenson disapeared any way . three years ago he went missing he saved us from a life of cages and torture we loved him anfd then he disapeared so now we are on our own with me in charge .

when jenson went missing we found things that would lead to death but in our heart we knew he was alive and we wanted to believe that because he was the closest thing we had to a father.

any way moving on wer have no one to tell us what to do when to eat when to do go to bed turn lights off or to ground us to to take pocket money away from us nothing .well except me im not the oldest swift is and your maybe thinking why isnt the oldest acting the adult well we voted when henson left and well i came off top not ecause every one thought so i was the strongest mentally as well as physicallybut i cope ive got to keep everythingunder controll i mean who else is going to do it

we dont go to school thank god we use the internet instead but really dont dont know any thing if you asked me like 356 x 15 then i woldnt know . ut really no schools no doctors definatly no social workers knocking on our door no bussiness men no one or nothing know of us and that how we stay alive really no one know we say alive

i couldnt cook i just at itsy bit when i wanted really but as i was going through our fridge i heard a heavy sleepy shuffling behind me.

' morning' yawn shadow'

'morning glory' i siad to the tired 10 year old she sat down at the kitchen table i turned to look at her . she was already dressed with her funky hipppy style but reaaly sje was a calm chilm easy to handle un like the rest

'shadow whats for breakfast' i stared at her in suprise she knew i didnt cook so why was she asking her peircing green eyes looked at me and her hair flowed like a river it never got messy.

; uh ..its a suprise' i said since i wasnt going to and i had no idea

' ok ill get some juice ' i nodded glory wasnt the youngest she was the 4th eldest in the group. soon ice walked in he was three weeks younger than i was but three inched taller i was 5'9'' and he was well nearly 6' he was so unlike the rest of us it was suprising he was like us he was so warm though he had a gentic animal that lived in the artic circle.i smiled at him he smiled h e smiled back i was going through the cuboard when as normal the hairs on the back of my neck went up and i knew that swift had just walked into the room he always came in so silent it was annoying

'stop that please it freak every time you do it ' he looked at me puzzled his dark golden hair long enough to tie back and his eyes were golden like an eagle.

'what? ' he answered 'i didnt do anything '

' you know precisly what im on about' he smiled childishly i rolled my eyes me and swift never always got on lik ethis we most faught like abunch of childish siblings.

'illl cook some eggs up' fuzzy said as he walked into the room i looked at him and nodded . fuzzy was parcially blind when we were at the school the white coats did some thing to him and it made him lose part of it eyes sigt in oth eyes he used hearing and touch most of them if he was some where quite dark but some where light like at home hes used his sight.

walking out the room i said

'swift lay the table ice glory the usual help fuzz or help swift ill go get the peace ok ' every one nodded or said yes and i made my way up stairs

peace was the youngest and the sleepiest she was the only one we knew could sleep one forever she was shy as well it took her a while to come round every morning but it was getting better as she got older when she was a toddler she only trust swift probly becuse he was the oldest and most cuddliest out of us all i walked into her room and over to the window i opened the curtains and said

'rise and shine sweetie its morning the sun is up its a lovely day and fuzz is cooking reakfast again' at the word of breakfast she bolted up straight. now there was one thing in commen woth all of us we were all able to eat three times as much as normal people .

' ok but shadow ' i looked at er and nodded ' you know we had plans to go for a walk i want to go fruits picking instead then i want to make some jam ok ' i nodded

'sure why not i mean we will have to talk aout it with the othrs over breack fast ok ' she smiled her blue eyes sparkling with happiness. theres another thing we own a fruits farn we grew our own fruit. so every now and then we go and collect some for making jam or getting just for a healthy snack.
