Chapter 2: Reading and Traveling
I was rocking to my headphones during art class. I knew Ms. Philips well, and she let me do my own thing during class. I loved art. It didn't really matter what kind of art it was. I have always wanted to become an artist; though I cannot decide what kind I want to be. There are many choices. Should I be painter.... or a sculptor...or a-
The bell cut my thoughts short. Art class was over. I decided to go over to the cafeteria and grab a snack. On my way there, I passed some adults talking to Mr. Smith, who was like our principal, but he also looked after the entire orphanage.
"Hello, welcome to Carver's Orphanage, how do you do," I said politely, knowing that Mr. Smith liked us to have good manners.
"Very well, thank you," said the woman. She resumed talking to Mr. Smith, and as I walked away I heard her say, "Well, Mr. Smith, if that is what all your children are like, I may have to adopt them all." And they shared a laugh.
I stepped into the kitchen and made my way to the refrigerator. I looked inside of it, and finally pulled out an apple. I went back outside and leaned against a tree. I had my backpack with me and looked inside. I always carry me backpack with me, and inside it all of my things, including all of my clothes. For, although this is a good orphanage, many shady people come here, and I don't like people going through my things. Out of my backpack I pulled out my book, Pride and Prejudice, I had just started reading it, and it was assigned for my Lit class.
When I finally looked up from my book, I was surprised to see that it was beginning to darken. I had not realized how long I had been reading. Then, I noticed that I couldn't see the orphanage. In fact, I couldn't see anything but trees.
Uh oh, I thought, where am I? I decided to walk around and try to see if I could find anything.
I walked around for hours, and the sky darkened. When I looked up, the stars were unnaturally bright, as though the whole world had turned off the lights. Wow, it's really beautiful.
I had not been watching where I was walking, and I tripped on a tree root. I was about to get up when I heard voices.
I stayed low. But the voices were coming closer. I could understand what they were saying now.
"I think I heard a noise over here," one voice said.
"Oh Elrohir, you are always hearing things," said another.
"Well, this time I think I really did," said the first voice, whom I assumed was Elrohir.
I could hear that they were coming still closer and closer to where I was lying. I got up quickly, and just as I did, two men came into sight.
"Wahhhhh!" instinct came over me and I kicked one of them hard in the stomach. I was just about to hit the other one, but he was too quick for me. He grabbed me and prevented me from being able to escape. Half pulling, half dragging, he took me away, with his accomplice stumbling behind.
