Title: Lost.........Forever?
'Bye Kids, See Ya tomorrow!”, said Mrs. Kiltern; she was our teacher. I was just in time to catch the bus. As we were going down the road it started to get very foggy. The bus driver was getting nervous. Then all of a sudden we hit a bump! The bus flipped about three times and then hit the ground and then fell down the mountain.The kids were all screaming for help.I was thrown far from the bus. My head hurt and then I just blanked out. When I woke up my head was bleeding and the bus was gone.The fog had cleared, but I was lost.I didn't recognize anything I saw. I couldn't remember anything.I was wondering around for days and days.I was so scared.I found a little pond. I drank from there. I had nothing to eat. As I was wondering around I found this cave. It was very dark.It was damp and cold inside. It gave me the chills.I was beginning to remember some things, but I was still pretty confused.In the cave there was this old fishing pole.I used it to catch fish.I was able to make a fire to keep warm at night.I had no idea where I was. Wherever I was I was lost.All day long I packed food and water and washed my cloths. I was off to find my home or someone to help me.I had traveled a very long way.I had just about giving up until I heard it.I heard the sound of cars passing by.I couldn't believe my ears. I ran as fast as I could. While I was running I cut my leg really bad, but I didn't care at all I could do was run toward the sound. It was getting closer and closer. I got so close that I could smell the gas from them. There it was. The cars were driving and driving.When I reached the road I realized that it was a highway. The cars weren’t going to stop for some raggedy girl.So I decided that I was just going to have to follow the road to the nearest town or city.When I had reached the gas station I saw my picture posted in the walls it read, “Missing Girl, please help us find her.” I didn't know what to think.The store clerk came over and asked me what was wrong, and I told her I was the little girl. She asked what girl, and I pointed to the paper. She gasped! She started screaming and yelling. Then she started to cry.When I arrived home my mom and my dad greeted me with loving arms. But it just didn’t feel like home to me, like something was missing, like was really belonged at the cave. I left a note explaining to my parents that I had to go home…to the cave.
