"Clare, hurry up! Were going to start the movie without you!" I heard my mom yell from downstairs. "Coming!" I yelled back. I went back to typing this story on my computer. And yes, this is a true story. I saved the file and ran on all fours downstairs. "Clare!" Dad said. "How many times have we told you not to do that?" I stared at him, trying to figure out a way to get out of this. "Told me not to do what?" I stammered pretending to be uncertain. "Running on your paws! Your supposed to use your legs like humans" he howled at me angrily. "Oh, eh, sorry" I said and jumped onto the couch. We were halfway through the "Space Towtruck Movie 2" when our ears perked up at a knock on the door. "What do we do?" I asked mom and dad. "We turn of the lights and hide, so the think that nobody's here" dad said smartly. So I ran to the light switch(on all fours), turned it off and ran behind the couch to hide. The person at the door rang the doorbell repeatedly and then stopped. I had assumed they had left and ran to the door to peek out the window. "Clare!" Mom whispered at me loudly before I had realized what I had done. "AHH THERES A WOLF IN THAT HOUSE AHHH POLICE" the person at the door screamed at me and ran far away as fast as he could. "C-Clare...were gonna be found!" Dad stared at me, worried and angry. "We could be...be...OH I DONT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!" He kept howling at me. "Pack your things we need to evacuate right now!". I ran upstairs and put my most precious things in my duffle bag and ran out the back door with it slinged around my shoulder. When I was a few yards away I heard back at the house, a knock at the door and somebody yelling " Police! Open Up!" I stared back in horror, I couldn't see the front of the house, but I did hear mom howling, and telling me to run far away fast. I ran as fast as I could , far, far, far away. Behind our house was a forest, so that's where I ran. "Yow!" I fell down breathing hard, a painful  stich in my side. I was hungry, hurting, thirsty and tired after walking and running for what seemed a few hours. I spotted a log with moss lining the bottom, the perfect bed! I crawled in head first, only to see some angry racoon's sitting there staring at me. "Uhh this your home? I'll scram them" I said as I just barely dodged one of the racoon's trying scratching my face out. I ran back into the forest, looking for a place to stay.

The sun shining though the tree tops at me, felt perfect on a chilled Autumn morning. I gave up looking for a nice place and gathered some leaves into a bed. I curled up on it, it felt amazing to finally rest!
