It had all started a sunny September day the wind was a breeze calm and genital Erin dashed up to her house not knowing she was being followed by a man. Erin got up the steps and opened the door her mom was on the phone so Erin went upstairs to do homework. Five minutes later a scream louder than anything rang out, Erin creped downstairs the strange man that followed her had a knife and a bloody scene occurred. Her mom and dad were murdered…...
Erin dashed to the yard and leaped over a fence and into the woods.
Erin stopped by a creek where she would drink and then walked to a small house. She salvaged food from bushes on the property of an old mans house. The berries where mainly strawberries, but sometimes she would sneak in to deep in the yard where he had apple trees, cherry trees, and here and there blueberry bushes and sap buckets full of maple syrup freshly made. In an abandoned cottage was an old sofa and a bathroom, the water did not work but it was still a bathroom, it was no problem washing in the creek. Erin’s little cottage also had a battery powered radio, a small table and a ice box, yes an Ice box, and it was no problem finding ice for it.
Erin was gathering berries from the yard when she heard footsteps. Erin looked and there she saw an old man with a short beard blue eyes and was a little chubby. The man looked at Erin and did a full scale look, from her matted red hair to her wrecked cloths, he laughed “Ran away from home did ya’ well come here, I don’t bite” The way his gruff voice sounded made her feel calm and reminded her of her grandfather she slowly walked over and said “I did not go away because I did not like my mom or dad I ran ‘cause they where killed.” The old man looked to her “My ma and pa died to when I was young, come in, come in.” Erin looked at him and replied “I’m Erin, Erin Abigail Thompson.” The old man looked at her “Well my name is George, George Charles Smith.” He soon added “Call me George. Nice to meet you, Erin”
Erin was lead into a small house five cats came to greet her. George soon looked at the cats “The gray ones Twinkles the white one is Snowy, she’s going to have kittens, the black ones Lucky the calico ones Patch and the small ginger one is Macey” George looked at her “Follow me.” He said leading her to a small room on the second floor it had a bed a TV and a cat bed “This is the cat room for now you can sleep here until I find a bigger room for you”
That night Erin wrote a note to George it said:
Dear George,
I really like this room thank you for it if you can build me a shed to live in that would be great thank you for every thing
Love,
Erin
Erin slid the note under George’s bedroom door and crawled back into bed she whispered Thank you George for all you have done.
