Chapter 10

Just to Have Time Alone

Oh so did I tell you? My brithday is tomarrow!!!!! I'm overly excited except for the fact I ran away to Elder Land, and I have been gone for almost a week. I watched my family a little while ago, they are still planning the regular party they give me, but Mom is real upset, I left about a week ago, I think she thinks I'm dead. She keeps crying and there is nothing any one can do about it, except me.

Time passes diffrently up here, I had only been here for an hour and it has been a week. Well obviously I can't keep cloaking myself from my family. I let my guard down, "Dad? Dad, please come to......" befor I could finish my sentence he orbed in front of me, he looked like a combination of releif and anger. He hugged me and check me over to make sure I was ok. Very softly I wishpered in his ear, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be gone this long."

He looked a little shaky, "Its ok Chris, time is diffrent up here. I understand, I'm just so glad I found you here rather then lying dead on the street." I thought that was a bit dramatic, but then again thats my family, taking everything to the extreams. "Well, I think we had better get you home." he said as he orbed me home.

Mom ran over, "Chris, sweetie your alright." I nodded, they were insane but it was ok I guess. They seemed really worried for me, but then worry turned to anger as Mom began to yell at me for disappearing into thin air, and not caring that I had left for a week.

"Mom, I'm sorry, really I am, I didn't mean to be gone that long." She finally nodded and sent me off to my room, after all my brithday is tomarrow, and I can't see the surpises she has waiting for me.

I woke up the next morning ready for any thing, you hadn't seen how crazy my mom could be about the whole birthday thing.
