I looked out the window of a house we just moved in. "Ugh", I complained, "we have no neighbors!" I shook my head and glanced at my mom. "Nothing is ever good enough for you, Shyanne, is it?", She complained right back. I huffed at her and looked at the sunny sky outside. "Whatever," is all I had to say. Instantly, my mom pulled me away from the window and smacked me. "Get away from me you - you monster!" I furiously yelled at her. Her only action was letting me go. I ran outside the house, and immediately the bright sky turned foggy ad dark. I glanced around and went to go back inside but the house had disappeared. I ran the direction my house should be. I went on for miles before I burst into tears. "MOM!" I screamed wishing nothing had happened. I ran on further and further but nothing was there. I turned around. I was lost. I couldn't figure out where I was. I didn't know which direction to go, so I just ran. I started off in a sprint but before I could reach a full speedy run, I stood in the middle of a creepy road. Both directions seemed identical. I didn't care, I just started going one way. I walked instead of running to save my energy and catch my breath. I started to cry, I wanted to blame it all on my mom. It was her fault I ran out the door. The stinging sensation was still on my cheek. It felt like I had been walking a full day. The sun never came up...well, I mean it never even went down. Out of nowhere in the far distance I could make out.... was that a mailbox? "Wait!" I yelled, "that's my mailbox!" By the time I reached it I was panting for air. Examining the numbers I made sure it was my mailbox. I ran into the driveway that was hidden by trees, but what I saw was not at all the house we moved into. It wasn't even a house. I fell to my knees and stared sobbing. "WHY?!" I lifted my head long enough to look at all the gravestones in the foggy graveyard. Hours passed but I didn't move, instead I stayed there and wasted my tears. "Mom, I'm sorry!" I wailed into the cold air. But just then, just at that moment a wolf let out its threatening howl. I wiped away the tears that still came, and stood up. The pain that shot through my stiff legs didn't come close to the feeling that rushed into my head. Suddenly, my heartbeat raised rapidly as if it were going to burst. Something else's presence filled the air. Weakly, I walked further into the graveyard. "Is there any...anyone else here?" Nothing responded or leaped out at me, not even the faintest noise was made. I continued, lost, terrified, and confused, down the graveyard's path. Panic raced through my nerves when a low growl arose behind me. I could see the wolf standing behind me. The look of hunger in its eyes stamped itself in my mind. I started sprinting through the maze of gravestones. "GO AWAY!" I screamed as a pain struck my side, causing me to slow down. I thought I could get farther, but instead, I tripped. Just as I spotted the wolf, it was only fourteen or fifteen feet away from me. Tears fled my face as I tried to get up, but only fell. I pulled my knees up to my chin. "Go away" I whispered. The wolf's bright yellow eyes stared at me as it crept closer. It was in reaching distance but all I could do was close my eyes and cry. The hot humid air blew on my face. The creatures breath smelled of raw rabbit and blood. Slowly, I opened my eyes but it was gone. No trace the wolf was ever there. No paw prints were left behind, but I knew it was there. I wiped the moisture that was left on my cheek away and looked around. I don't know why but I expected to see it somewhere. Nothing, the only thing there was fog. Not even gravestones. But the pain on my side was so intense, I had to grab it as I stood up. Everything felt so unreal, like a game, or movie, a story even. It seemed like a whole week had passed. I tried to remember nothing, but something stood out in my head. Like when my mother pulled me from the window, when her hand landed across my face. The look in her eyes. I stumbled over a rock and fell in a ditch. A ditch?? I climbed out of the sunken ground and set my eyes on the old, lonely house I so hated. Joy filled the air for a second but when I placed my hand on the door knob, I knew it wasn't right. The door swung open with a groan, but the place was trashed. Nothing was left standing but an old antique stove and even it was ruined. I was starving, weak, and homesick, but all I wanted was to see my mom's smile. Something I never wanted before, the same thing I used to hate to see. I left the trash everywhere and exited the house. To my surprise when I walked out, the fog lifted and the sun shined bright. Everything seemed normal and birds chirped around me. I looked into the window of the house behind me and seen my mother standing there. "MOM!" tears fell from my cheeks as excitement raced through the air. I ran back through the door, where my home was and fell into her arms. "Mom, I missed you!, I'm so sorry!, I love you!" She looked at me confused, "Dear, you were only gone a few minutes" she wiped away my tears, "you never left the porch."
