Chapter 1 - The Dare

Chapter 1

The dare



I was walking home from school of what had happened. Tears blushed in my eyes and fell onto the small sidewalk. My curly brown hair blushed in the wind and into my face. My voice was crying and silent. Every few seconds I sniffed because my nose was runny. The sun had shone above the sky shining as bright as ever. I smiled thinking of my nabor Nancy. She was so funny from her little jokes and laughs. She was not home yet from school right now. But that's a long story. I can tell you later when it comes to the place I bring it up again.



I stopped to rest and the book that I was holding fell down. I kneeled down and right when my hand started to reach it there was a faint sound in the bushes. A fear came into my eyes as if I had seen a ghost. I was always scared of everything, especially wolves. I stood up suddenly as I forgot the book I was trying to get. My legs ran as fast as the wind and in a second the terrible thing in the bush was gone. “Hey wait up!” a voice came as I turned around. There was Nancy's mother. I sighed and walked slowly toward her. What is it Miss Lesan?” I asked. “Oh I was just wondering if you kids got off today early. You know Nancy never tells me anything and you know that I was your teacher in 5th grade. Oh you were so cute back then now your starting to grow up.” She said as a tear fell from her eye. “Oh Miss Lesan don't get all teary. This is just my first year in middle school.” I smiled. “Well so where's Nancy again?” she asked. “Oh um I had to go home early. By Miss Lesan!” I yelled and started to run back home trying to get away with anything that had to do with school.



The trees were surrounding our cottage. We lived in the forest now. A small brown cottage was in front of me as I panted. A bird called and made a wonderful sound. I started to walk down the path as if this was the perfect place to live. Where my old house had been was rather quit weird because we lived in a trailer park. A windy dusty old place it was with just dirt. I opened the door with moss all over it as it as I had reached the house ready to do my algebra. Freaky the spider was up in the corner. What? I had to give it a name. Freaky, my pet spider that I just referred to in the last sentence, has lived to years now for some reason. I walked into a dark room. Granny was sleeping as the TV was on. Channel 53 was on. (The spooky channel that I'm not aloud watch.) “And now back to the KILLER BUTTERFLY!” The man on the TV roared. I didn't know why my Granny didn't let me watch it. All t was really about were stupid things like if you hear a black cat purr it ill mean you will be cursed for eternity. I sighed and laughed at the killer butterfly show. We lived in a small cottage on the side of a forest that had a name from the wolves that lives there. I think wolves are peaceful creatures that will not harm you (I look on the internet a lot). My cottage was very small with only my room and my Granny's because my parents had died of cancer carried in the family and my Grandparents spent all their money and my parent's money on my Grandfather's surgery. Two months later my Grandfather died of more cancer. So now we were poor and not very happy. At least I got to go to my school for awhile in `till college. Next week is my 25th birthday. I couldn't wait. My body sensed a strange feeling though. It might be the best birthday I ever had. Well now back to the story. I got a piece of paper and a pencil as I was in the small kitchen that four cats could fit in.



Dear Granny

I'll be out in the woods. Be back soon. I know you worry about me `cause of all those stories about things outside on TV. But I brought a first aid kit just in case. I'll be fine.



Love Sammy



I tucked it under her arm and headed out the door. “Bye Freaky!” I yelled and ran into the tall creepy trees. A lizard kept following me so I scared it away. The Sun was setting and I had gotten my tent from the house. “See how brave I am now from those creeps back in school,” I thought. The school story is a long one. I guess I can tell you. Today at school I went into my math class. So my best friend and I saw a scary movie last night and we were talking about it `til the teacher came. Robbie Nuke over heard us and his friends. After math class I was at my locker and Robbie came up to me. “Hey Simi!” he yelled. “Stop calling me that!” I yelled. “Ok Simi” “It's Sammy!” “Well anyways we over heard you and your geeky friend.” My face turned all red. My friend was weird but no one could ever admit that in front of me. “Never call me a geek.” I said with my hands out and a mad face out. My pony tail started to loosen and my brown hair fell down. My face turned purple and a pink. It was so embarrassing! Kyle, who I have a crush on, just walked by and now he's looking at me weird, The thing is when your hair falls out of a crunchy, or whatever you have, it looks fine. But with my hair it's all messy. I mean really messy! Oh no!!! Robbie and all the other kids in the hall laughed. “Ok, if you can handle that scary movie you handle the woods? You have to sleep in the woods for a week and survive it!” “Ok. Fine then! I'll move to the bloody woods and never come back!" Tears came to my eyes and I ran out. Who needed them? I didn't like Kyle that much anyway. Then I came home and that's what happened. More tears fell from my eyes as I thought about it. The moon shined out and I heard another crack in the bushes. My body stood up as the camp fire shone above me. I ran into the tent scared. A raccoon jumped out and stole all my food. Now I had to go back to Granny tomorrow. It was morning and I had an achy sleep. I had eye snot so I wiped it on my pajamas. The wind brushed and I put a scunchy in my hair so I would look good due the fact of what happened in school. I got up and dressed. There was a hoodie and some new pants that I was wearing. I packed things up one by one. Now I was done so I started walking home for some more food. A branch caught my pants and it ripped! The compass that I had in my hand dropped into the water by the near by pond. Glass broke and it was gone. I got up. Dirt was on my face and mud on my pink hoodie. “Oh great,” I thought. Now I was lost! Forever I had to camp outside and live by my self. Plus hunt for food. I walked back to camp. The raccoon had made a trail! Yahoo! I'm saved! So I ran and ran then I walked. A couple hours passed and I felt tired. A bag of cheetos was in the bush behind me! Maybe the raccoon couldn't open it and left it behind. There were teeth marks in fact. The bloody raccoon had taken the rest of my food. Just thank God I had this to live on forever. I could save it for the rest of my life or just eat it in 5 seconds. I better just save it for later and eat small bites of it. I heard a creek near by rolling away. The sound was thundering over the valley. Maybe I could try to find wood and build a house and could live by this waterfall! It would be perfect. The only thing is that I would have to live in my tent for awhile. Oh well at least I could still live! So the tent is out down and my things are out away. Hopefully no animal steals them! There was a light over the trees in the dark forest, I may call. It wasn't the sun. Not bright enough. I got up and saw that it was something that I couldn't explain. It was just way too weird! Something was pulling me. Just pulling me to it. So I ran to it. Just because it hurt to be pulled by that thing. When I showed up my legs tumbled, my eyes dropped, and my mouth widened. I wanted to scream but that would cause trouble. The furry huge tales slashed back and forth. The teeth growled. Most of all the huge body walked to me. A pack of wolves was near. The only thing I could do was just stand there and waits to see what happens. Will I die? Will they try to kill me? Will they eat me? No. Something more spectacular will happen to me. So I just waited and waited to see what happens.
