A/n: Those were really nice reviews! Thanks Luichien Greenleaf and Samus!
And yes, I am new! And yes.. I had to watch the movie without my glasses.
It wasn't too bad but I'm definitely going again, and this time I won't
forget anything!
Up in her room, Erin cried until no more tears came, and she did not wipe them away. She considered running away. Sure,it was foolish.. but she knew no one understood her here. It was like she just didn't belong. She didn't even look like them! For one thing, her hair was dirty blonde with little curls, she had brown eyes,and she was too skinny and short, with long legs. The rest of her family had reddish brown hair and were tall, yet very filled out. Erin used to think she was adopted. Sometimes she still did.
Erin reached her window and looked out into the night. All was quiet and still.. It would be difficult to run away if she couldnt even get down from her window! She frowned, and put on her glasses, figuring that would at least help. Then she slipped out of her window and onto the slanted roof. She had nothing to hold onto except for her window ledge,so she was careful to keep her blance when she let go, all the while praying she could for once be graceful. She spotted a tree and inched towards it. Hopefully she could climb down form there.
Once she reached the tree, she bit her lip, and grabbed a branch and came slowly off the roof. Erin let out a breath of relief and started climbing down. Erin hated heights, if you hadn't guessed.
It would have been totally dark outside if it hadn't been for the streetlights. She breathed on her hands to warm them up and started running along the sidewalk. She didn't know where she was going.. only that she didn't want to go home. Not ever.
Erin reached the edge of the woods and considered going in. But that would be stupid.. wild animals could be in there! She frowned. It was either in there, or somewhere else, where she'd be found way faster. She took a deep breath and ran forward into the dark and creepy forest. Inside, it seemed even colder. She shivered and stuffed her hands into her jean pockets. She sniffled and hoped she wasn't catching a cold. Just then, she could've sworn she'd heard a growl.. no, not here. She wasn't deep enough in the forest to hear anything like that. Her imagination had fooled her again. But.. there it was again! Right behind her. Erin didn't have the courage to look back and check. Instead she whimpered and ran as fast as she could.
When she finally stopped, she was out of breath and totally lost, and she definitely had a cold. She sneezed three times in a row and knocked her glasses off. Thats when the tears came again.
"Why did I even leave? It was warm back home.. I had a room.. Parents, even if they didn't love me.."She asked herself aloud.
Erin curled up under a tree, shivering and crying until she fell asleep.
