Dave says, "Well, I was really hoping you'd come..."
"I know," you say, "but I want to go home. Now."
Dave lets you go and says, "Okay. Go home."
You give dave your flashlight and run. You run as fast as you can. You turn back out of the alleyway and run for home. It is really dark now. You run up to your house and turn the doorknob. Locked.
You run around to the backdoor and try it. Locked. You start puonding on the door yelling, "Let me in! Let me in! Help! Someone! Let me in!"
All of a sudden your dad opens the door. He says, "What in the? What happened?"
Without answering, you run past him into the house. You throw off your jacket and run up to your room.
You shut the door and ruin into your bed. You catch your breath and then look around. This is your room. You are home. You are safe. You relax and go downstairs.
You have a coke and a piece of leftover pizza. Then you go up to bed. You start to think about Dave and Barbara. Where are they? Did they enter the castle? Are they okay? Should I really have left them there?
All these questions are still fresh in your mind when you turn out the light. But you don't have any time to answer them because 2 minutes after you lay down you fall asleep.
