In the shadows was something that looked like a monster only smaller. It has a huge long nose with sharp fingerlike things coming from its nose but i couldn't see any eyes and by then i was convinced that it was a monster.My first instinse was to grab Eliza ( who was trembling and shaking in fear and couldn't move if she wanted to.) and run back before our parents find out we were up to something. It felt as if something was holding me back and I just stood there. I had to get rid of it but how? I could just run up and attack but no then I might be a midnight snack. I decided to get a flashlight from my bag and try to destroy it by light. So I krept inside to get my bag and got it. I was told that mosters are afraid of 1 thing and that is light. So i got brave and tried to bring Eliza but she wouldn't budge. Since it was only a few dorrs down I decided to leave Eliza and I charged at the thing. "Get away from here!" I screamed at it.
I thought I saw some lights come on as I charged it. When I got close enough I realized it was no monster but it was to late I ran right into it and hopefully thought it wouldn't return back into a monster. Then just as I was about to turn to leave to get Eliza ( who was now so much calmer that big sis Deb comes to the rescue.) and get back and forget all this happened, I thought I heard a faint cry for help and the voice sounded familier but I couldn't place it. I ran back to Eliza and explained the whole thing to her as we quietly returned back to the hotel room. Early the next morning mom was up and I guessed she was getting a shower, so i decided that i could try to explain to her without the "we sneaked out part." She might believe me or she might think its a nightmare. Ah who cares I'll just carefully tell her especially about the familer voice we both heard.
We were going to Disneyland later anyways. Later after breakfast I told her and of course she said it was just my imagination playing tricks on me. I knew that couldn't be true especially when I heard that voice, it was coming from that outside closet, and that is where that monster was. i didn't know what to do if their is a person in there we can't just leave it but if it is my imagination then I could be in trouble. i asked them one more time to see if we could check after we got back here from Disneyland. We went to Disneyland and had a blast even though I couldn't stop thinking about that voice in the closet or how it got there. Since it was a holiday no one was at the park so we literally had it to ourselves and we rode every ride possible in 2 days, we went to everything possible.
When we got back to the hotel room that night I was so tired i forgot about the voice. This time I woke up at 4 A.M. and heard it again I bolted straight up in the bed, I snuck out this time leaving Eliza sleeping. I got to the closet and started knocking and shouting " Who are you! what are you doing here!" This time I didn't hear anything no banging,no noises nothing. I was so scared that something had happened that I ran back to the room crying. I had to get someone anyone, my first instinct was to run over to mom so i did by that time I was really crying and now I was truly convinced that something or a person was trapped and dying in that closet.
All I could think of was that voice and how awful it had to be to be trapped in an enclosed room. I shook her awake and was nearly hysterical " Mom! Mom! wake up please!" I started crying. She woke up and looked real worried like something was wrong with me. I blurted everything while the rest of the family woke up. Mom and dad tried to calm me down but I couldn't. Eliza rushed up to me and started nodding at everything i was saying like she was agreeing with me. "Slow down" mom said several times and i finally got done. All i could do was sniff and cry, I got to the door trying to get them to follow and they did and we got to the office and had someone inspect it with us. When we got their we all heard the faint cry. "See, see,see!" I said quickly pointing at the closet door. "Oh my word" dad said in horror their is someone or something trapped in there and sounds very weak. "Open the door!" I shouted when the guy did what we saw horrifyed us all...
My best friend Emily Rodgers was laying down in junk. Her legs are trapped under a bunch of heavy boxes and her arms were cut and bruised, just like everything had fallen on her. It looks as if she haden't eaten or drinked in days. "Emily!" I screamed and wanted to run up to her but couldn't she was in such bad shape. Dad picked me up and I just sobbed onto his shoulder.I was the only one who knew something was terribly wrong. 1 1/2 later the ambulance quickly but carefully got her out and onto a streacher. "Emily don't go." Eliza said not understanding any of this but horrifyed by what she saw and who she saw. Somehow Emily had snuck here and hid in the closet when someone had shut the door. She then climbed around looking for a way out and fell then everything had fallen on top of her.
Her parents had gotten here in record time because they had no idea where she was and was so scared when they got the call about their daughter. She was in the hospital for some time, when she got out she had both legs broken and both of her arms were broken as well so she had to be in a wheelchair for nearly a yr. We went home the very next morningwith her family, over the next yr. she progressed very well when we got to the 3rd grade she was getting much better and was out of her casts and walking by November of 3rd grade but I still had to help her for a while yet. By Christmas she was all better and her family and my family celebrated Christmas together. It was actually a miracle she survived a wk. in that closet.
Eliza is doing better since the accident since it scared her to death she had nightmares about Emily for a long time. We would get her calmed down and she would just have them again, 3 wks. after Christmas we went on another vacation and as mom promised we brought Emily along, she loved it. We went to Sandiago this time, our week was spent at Seaworld she has never been there before. We got to do so much we even got to see the Dolphins and got to ride the water rides. We had a really great wk. When we got home that night I was to awake to sleep and Emily spent the night. We went to bed that night and mom and dad told us to go to sleep but I don't think they really expected us to. "Emily" I started " what was your favorite part of the trip?" Emily started " Well its kinda hard to say but i'll say swimming with the Dolphins was the best I really hope we can do that again someday." "Ya me to" I said "I wonder what Eliza's favorite part was." she said.
I just shrugged "she slept through most of it even though she was able to go on a few rides with us." Monday we went back to school and everyone had to know what it was like so we told them. "Wow it wasa really that cool?" one boy said "I want to go there so bad." one girl said. Just then the teacher Mrs. Kyle walked in and had us sit down. She has dark brown hair with blue eyes and she wears white high-heels with a blue skirt a white turtleneck shirt. Her shirt has a perfect design of a 3-D flower on it with a butterfly next to the flower. "Ok kids" she begins with morning announcments " I have a really cool announcment you all will like we are all going on a weekender trip to camp. Since it is still Winter we are staying in cabins and we will be doing a whole bunch of different activities and hikes and more! Here are the perimission slips."
She passed them down from the front rows back. I couldn't wait till this trip it was going to be so cool a whole weekend with my best friends. Later at lunch i sat with them and we planned how it was going to be.Where we would sleep and all. It was going to be so sweet. After lunch we pushed each other on the swings "What are you bringing Molly?" I asked. she thought for a moments " I'm bringing my teddy kitty" "Oh really? Emily said "Ya" she started "and I'm also going to bring my pink sleeping bag and fluffy pillow." just then the bell rang and we had to go in. Later that night when I got home my parents actually agreed to the outing and signed it. Eliza was wondering why she couldn't come. She was so mad that she first kicked me then stepped on my foot.
I couldn't help but scream and thats when she got it. "Eliza Thornberry!" Mom scolded and marched over to her before she got to far then she got spanked and sent to her room. "Ow why did she do that?" I asked calmly " Now I'm going to have a bruise the size of Texas!" I yelled " "Calm down" mom said "you don't want to get into trouble by picking fights with her do you?" she finished. " No" I said quietly "I guess not" " Just you both calm down and let her stay in her room for a while, she'll one day realize she can't keep picking fights." mom stated. "Well ok then." i said. 25 minutes later mom and dad made Eliza apoligize to me and she came out of her room. I don't know if she was truly sorry or not but I accepted. The next week Friday finally came and I was so excited. I couldn't wait we met at school early it was going to be an 8hr. trip to camp Pine Summit. We said goodbye to our parents and mom and dad seemed to take it in well.
I gave Eliza a big hug and told her that I would bring something for her. "You mean it?" she said "Yep" I started. Its going to be so special you'll have to keep it a long time." She gave me another hug and I left for the bus.On the bus I got a seat right next to Emily with Molly and Sara right behind us. It looked liek something was wrong with her. "Whats wrong Emily?" I asked worried "I'm going to miss mommy and daddy so much." she sniffed "Its ok we'll be with you Emily." Sara said "It will be like we are your family for a few days." Molly responded. That just set her off more and she started crying more so i took her and she cryed in my lap. "Molly your not helping" I said " Emily I'm sorry i didn't mean to make you sadder." "Emily" I started "Its ok to be really sad and you'll see them again real soon Monday infact." "True" Sara said. "Hey Emily you can stay with us for the next few days, you'll be ok." I said She was calming down a little bit. "Well ok." she said. Still her voice so shaky. The rest of the trip to Camp Pine Summit was very quiet for the 4 of us.
To be continued. Chapter 5 is nearly done all I have to do now is write it to the computer I'll try to have it up in the next few days. Anyways please keep reviewing to them.
