“Hey what's going on down here,” dad shouts in confusion.“You guys need to quiet down. It's 4AM and you need to get some sleep.”

I’ll simply knock you out and pick the lock myself.” he explains, slowly. His face leans closer to me, his breath on my neck and his lips on my ear as he speaks. I shudder at the close contact. “And I doubt you want to be unconscious again. You never know what might happen when you’re not awake.”

"Hey dad. Yeah we're leaving now. Okay see you soon. Love you too, bye." She hung up. "Okay, they're leaving now, we should get

“NOW!” Iris says almost knocking me over. I roll my eyes and walk over to her bed. She points her finger at a blue and silver duffle bag. I zip it open and pull out a pink ombre set of bed sheets. I make her bed in an instant, making sure her electric blanket is plugged in and, see I get a top bunk. I moan and pick up my heavy bags. Alicia walks up to me, then looks down at me.

“Maggie. Maggie! Wake up!” I shook my sister gently on the shoulder. “There’s something I need you to do! Are you awake? Maggie...Maggie! Please wake up!” All efforts at rousing my older sister were in vain, for she stubbornly kept her eyes closed. Maggie has always been stubborn as a mule.

“We’ll have time for hugs and kisses later.” Aaron yells. “We just need to get out of the city!”

I decided to go to bed. It was late and I was exhausted. I climbed the stairs, turned the corner, and walked through the doorway. In the dark, I got ready for bed. I threw my clothes on the floor and fell back on the mattress. ,

“Could you hurry up? We have to pick up the rest of the squad.” Amber rolled her eyes and

I awake to a gentle shaking and the continual whisper of my name, coated in a tone of urgency. My body is slow to respond as my mind races but, finally, I convince my mouth to work and spill out, “What’s wrong?” not-so-well-shielded from worry as I espy the young camper who is barely tall enough to peer over the edge of my sleeping bag.
