Chapter 14: Return

Without realizing it, I stood up and opened the built in wardrobe. Another door that seemed to be camouflaged was inside of the wardrobe. A miracle seemed to happen. I opened the door and it wasn't locked. Opening the door all the way made me see forests and trees all around. This place was engulfed in trees. It was like God was looking down on Dan and I to give us a second chance. I turned around and picked up Dan to place him on my shoulder. Before I left I heard a distance sound from the phone so I grabbed it to place it next to my ear.

"Are you still there? Sam?" Justin called out.

"No this is Phil," I said into the phone and dropped. I could tell he was telling who he was and what he did so that gave us time to leave.

I pulled Dan close to me and walked out the door from the wardrobe. Stepping into the nature I closed the motel door behind me and started walking away from this dumbass town. There was no reason to stay there, I didn't want the cops to find us.

The sun was now rising and everything was quiet. Nothing was disturbing the peace. It was a nice, quiet time to relax from what I had to do. I walked right to through the cops off. When they figure out that we escaped they will search for us probably thinking we were running off straight ahead. So changing the direction will make it hard to find us.

I can probably walk a few miles with holding on to Dan since he wasn't heavy. Maybe God can give us another miracle to help us since I knew we both would be hungry and tired soon.

"Dan are you excited for Christmas?" A familiar female voice speaks out.

I fully open my eyes and see my Mum waving an ornament in front of my face. Her cheeks are rosy red and her eyes are full of life. She places the bear ornament in her hand on the shining Christmas tree behind her. I look around and see all my family in my house: my Dad, Mum, brother, aunts, uncles, and even my grandparents from both sides of my family. They gather around the Christmas tree with smiles on their faces.

The smell of cooking food fills the room as an over timer goes off in the house. My mum springs up from the floor and rushes over to the kitchen. A honey-golden ham comes out of the oven and my mouth starts to water. Everyone in the house fills the kitchen room to grab a plate of the Christmas food that was prepared like mash potatoes, green beans, the ham, yams, stuffing, and even macaroni. I too grab a plate to fill up with food.

As soon as I'm done gathering all the food my mind desires I got back to where I was sitting on the couch and enjoy the delicious food in front of me.

As I keep on stuffing my face with food everyone is cracking jokes and seem like everything is normal, but I feel this emptiness. Like something or someone is missing. Everything is perfect, but then again it's not. I don't feel complete. There is something not here. What is it?

"Oi Danny boy," a faint voice calls out.

I set the plate on the wooden floors underneath my feet and look around for that voice. It seemed to have a homey feeling, like it was the piece to the puzzle that I felt like I was missing. The same voice speaks out louder towards the front door. I run out of the house and see a blanket of white snow except someone is standing out there. They are turned around so I can see their face, but I can see that they are wearing a dark blue jacket along with black pants. They are wearing dark brown boots and the hair is a raven looking color.
