My Father had run past the guard. I ran up to my father and hugged him. "How did you survive?" I asked him, "Somebody shot the man attacking me." My Father answered. "Who?" I continued, "... I don't know" My Father answered again "I began looking for you as soon as it happened, when I went to your Mum's house, you weren't there, nor was your Mother...". "My Uncle Kidnapped me and tried to kill me!" I said loudly. "Where is he!" My Father questioned in a panicked voice. "Last time I saw him he was attacking me at an old house, I'm only okay because my friend Jay came and saved me." I  stuttered. "Lets go" My Father panicked "Hurry!" "But what about Jay?" I asked. I ran to Jay "Jay, my Father is alive!" I said excitedly "He wants to leave, but I wanted to ask if you and Archer would want to come... So do you?", "Sure." answered Jay, then Jay extended his arm over to his little brother, who was sleeping and gently shook him awake. "Come on." Jay said. Archer slowly stood up and rubbed his eyes.

"Okay let's get going." My Father said, my feet were still aching pretty badly but I decided not to argue. "Where are we going?" I asked my father, "You'll see." My Father replied. Archer had climbed back onto Jay's back, I can't believe he's still going. I thought to myself. Everybody was very silent, I started slowly to feel sick in the stomach. Then everything went black, and I felt a jolt of pain as my body hit the ground.

"Harriet, wake up!" I heard my Father say with a tone of panic in his voice. My ears were ringing loudly and my head was hurting as if I got hit in the head with a bat. I slowly started to open my eyes, I saw my Father and Jay staring at me with an expression of relief on their faces.
