A Short Story : A Story?

“Lock all the windows,doors,and your room door… Everything!” Ramona reads this text from her father, shook. Ramona arose from her bed thinking why’d he call in such a panic… all the while Dismissing the fact that she has forgotten what he looks like. She wisecracks “How, what, and why should I Listen to you… as if you and mom have actually been here for me!!” “Ramona do as told, then call me! This is no time for fun and games.” The dial tone seems as if it took forever although when she looked at the phone it echoed three seconds. Another bing from her phone comes in “Ramona! Look outside the window… Do you see that , Monster?” Ramona reluctantly answers “Dad

RUN! GO NOW!” Ava screamed as she was pushing Mia. They both rushed up the stairs and swung open the door at the top as the big, heavy, door that creaked when you opened it. The door leaded to the outside of the big creepy house. It was like a dog chasing a cat. Ava lived right next door so all they had to do was hop the fence and they were safe. Ava pulled herself up and leaped over the fence so fast like she had done that a million times before. and was perfectly safe but Mia was stuck. “Come on Mia! They are right behind you!” Ava shouted as she was peeking through the fence. Ava grabbed Mia’s hand and pulled her over. They both fell to the ground, and looked at each other with so much

“Where have you been?” I hear the second I walk through the front door. My hand slowly crept its way across the wall struggling to find the light switch. I turned it on fully expecting to see my Aunt sitting in the living room with her arms cross and a stern look on her face. Instead, I flick it on to see my cousin standing right beside me with a worried look on her face. “I thought something happened when you didn’t come home. The town is so small you couldn’t possibly get lost. So a kidnapping was the only rational solution,” she blurted.

Rosa yelled, “I was not done speaking to you!” Catie completely ignored her as she slammed the school door open. She rummaged through her backpack and fished out her car keys. The headlights flashed and the car beeped signaling it was unlocked as she pulled the door open. Sitting in the front seat, tears started to flow down Catie’s face. She didn’t know what to do. She couldn’t go home and face her parents fighting, but she couldn’t stay here and listen to Mrs. Rosa drone on anymore. Suddenly her phone started to vibrate and beep. She glanced over to see who was calling and scoffed in disgust when Sarah’s name popped up onto the

It was 2:00 in the afternoon, and the phone rang. Anna glanced at the phone, she couldn’t answer it, she had to clean her room, and then at 2:05 she had to wash the dishes. Anna had never not followed her routine, she couldn’t mess up her whole schedule. After a few seconds of it ringing, she went to go check who was calling, she couldn’t stand the noise anyway. Amethyst. Anna pondered for a second, before answering it. Amethyst never called, so Anna was more than happy to talk to her. “Hello?” This sure wasn’t Amethyst’s voice.

"Hey Vic open up!" I look at Dante and mouth "In there!" as I point to the nearest room. He nods and closes the door behind him carefully. "Vic, I know you're there!" I take a deep breath as I walk to the door and open it. "About time!" Alice lets herself in while chewing on some gum. "What do you need Alice?" She sits on the couch and props her feet up on the table. "Well you never did answer my text about this weekend." "Sorry, I was busy." "But I made sure to wait til you get off work..." "I stayed late cause of the rain." -Hmm- "Well that aside, I think I found someone for you!"

It was a beautiful day at the lake, my family and I were renting a cottage for a week in July like we usually do every year in the summer. We go up to the Canadian lakes in Michigan (Canadian lakes is a chain of lakes in the middle of Michigan about two hours away from Saline.) It was our second day here and our first real day to go out on the lake and swim, kayak, go on the paddleboat, etc. It was a nice house that had a cabin feel and was made out of almost all wood. The house was right on the lake, and had a nice big lawn that was bright green. I had just woken up about half an hour ago and had just finished eating when Saige asked me a question.

MANDY” called out linda one of the teachers at CDC(my after school) “YOU’RE “GOING HOME” i waved to my friends to say goodbye and skipped down the blacktops to the building i walked peacefully past the parking lot when i realized my moms car wasn't there i walked on confused maybe she walked i thought to myself little did i know that that little detail was part of a puzzle for one of best surprises of my life

When our plane was about to take off, my sister was ecstatic. She was excited to be finally heading home after two weeks of being away. Everyone was clicking their seatbelts into place, and placing their carry on into the overhead. Though, I was the only one who was nervous.

“Hello sweetheart” I hear a man whisper in my ear. I turn around so fast I heard my neck crack. I couldn’t see anyone. I set down my book I was reading and looked inside the Cafe I was sitting at but there was no man except for one man at the cash register.

It was a Saturday morning and Lewis was unpacking his stuff into his new room. The Jungleport family had just moved into to an 298 year old house and everyone was trying to get used to the old smell, old wallpaper, and the old leftover things in the house. Abby was cleaning up her room because it was full of dust. James was scraping his walls because of the old wallpaper in his room. The parents were making sure the house was staying together.

I sat awaiting all of my family members in the heat filled garage that would become much warmer as the night went on. It would be filled with loud laughter and cheering from my whole family. It would be smelling of grandma’s ham she cooked and pretzel salad my mom makes every year. I’m getting anxious as i hear a car pull up outside crunching on the black gravel. I rush to the window and see my cousins step out of the car, I rush to the door to greet them with a big smile on my face.

"Please don't kill me, my daughter, she is the only thing I have, and it would break her heart If I died'', he begs.

“Ok, hurry and get your stuff, I'm going to be on the deck” she laughing replied as she repressed a grin of success. Grumbling as I grabbed my phone from my room and strolled back to the common room, the door suddenly burst open, hitting the snowy peach walls with a resounding thud. That will leave a mark. Before I can fully process who it might have been, out storms Chloe, with tear streaked cheeks as well as eyes containing terror and confusion. Chasing after her, I frantically tried to think of rational reasons for her to be in this state of distress. She was one to overreact but this seemed real. As I caught up to where she sat down carrying a heavy heart, I knew she had experienced

My cell phone rang as the spaghetti sauce and fresh vegetables simmered on the stovetop. After looking at the screen, I saw that it was Latria and shooed Tia out of the kitchen. Lord knows, I didn’t want her telling Trent any of my business. “Sorry Lyric, I was in the bath when you text messaged me,” Latria said. “Girl, you wouldn’t believe what happened. I ran into Diamond at the grocery store. I got close enough to her to see that she has a ring that resembles mine. I also overheard her cell phone conversation about a missing cell phone in her car. I’m not sure if it was Trent, but I think it was because she said the name Tee” I whispered, all in one breath.
