The Travel

  The trip to China was a long one. I was scared that everyone looked the same and I was so not at home anymore. The smells,food and just everything was so different and pretty. I went to the market were the letter in the box that the creepy man said to follow.  So here I am. On the hunt for my sister that is a year under me. She is very smart and will help me get threw this.

  I went in and started to look threw tons of books on kids and people and how there was a fire and most of the paper was gone on people in the town. In the back of my mind it was saying it was done on purpose.  I wasn't getting anywhere with this. I told myself that I couldn't give up. I hate to go back on the plane by myself.

  As I was looking around for anyone to talk to and ask questions, I seen this place has a lot of secrets to it. Tombs and such is the kinda stuff from movies, at least I thought, I was so wrong.

( I watch Chuck Norris worked with one of these, thought I would try. It won.)

  I took the paper out of my back pocket, I was reading it all wrong. There is a place were they keep the kids. That is were I went. I climbed so many stairs I did not notice it was getting dark out. I will have the buns of steal after this. Looking good when I become a model. Maybe be a sexy panty model after this work out with my butt and legs. Can't go wrong with this package I have,.

After like 500 stairs later, I see the door. I better not have to do anymore work outs like this.

 I went in and no one was there. I went upstairs to sleep. I got told that no one will talk to me and will hide from me cause I am an outsider. So I picked up some new cloths after my shower and I went down and ate something I thought was breakfast. I have no clue what it was.  And still no one was in this big building. A lot of beds and bathrooms.  I just don't understand.  I took out the paper again and it was in some kinda of childish code.  So I guess it was an house address. I must go see and get my answers.

  Walked up to the house was the most scariest thing. I rather be chased by Freddie and his long knife fingers. I think I am so scared I can pee my pants. I don't even know their language.

 As the door open, I know that person, I know that laugh and that girly squeal.  There she was. I hugged her so tight, I told her lets go, got a ticket to go home.  As soon as I said that. She grabbed me and told me to hush. I need to know something.

 And out comes this cute little girl. I was doing the math in my head and I know this little girl is not hers, so who is she?

 She told us a story of were the little kids was and how mean there were and how she ran away and my sister saved her and is hiding her in this house., My sister is now married and is fine. She feels she needs to stay here to save the kids as much as she can.

 The little girl asked me to take her with me. My sister looked at me and told me it will be better for her and that she needs to get out of here. She will keep in contact and send me what I will need for her. I agreed, then she told me I have to go and to talk to her husband and explain to him what is going on.  I did not understand why I had to go talk to him.  But I went.

  I went to talk to him. He pulled me to the side and started to talk to me softly,like someone else could hear.  He stated there is more  kids in danger and that this lady and her husband is taken kids from homes and sealing them to strangers and using them as slaves. That's were my sister came from. My adopted mom and dad bought a slave. I did not know that. But she was not treated like one. Made me wonder if I was a slave and were did I come from?  Then the guy slipped a note to me. Told me that he thinks that can help me find some of the others. And he will get the little girl ready and at the airport for me to take care.    I new in my heart this was the right thing to do. But I was afraid to get in trouble then she will be sent back here.  He told me everything will be sent to my house that she will need.  And if I need to change her name and get her in school, he will send papers in order to do that.  I hugged my sister and her husband good bye. The little girl grabbed my leg and cried. They pulled her away and told her I will be back for her. And that I will be.

   As I arrived home, I was going to practice my egg roll making skills, when I get a call.  It was the creepy voice man.. he said that he was glad I made it home safe and that I have a package tomorrow,then another in a week, then hung up.  I really wish I new what was going on with this guy.

  A call came in just as I hung up.  The taxi man out front said come get this kid.  I didn't even think he had the right number.

  The girl gets out of the car slowly and was very scared.  Mix match cloths and looked very different then what I remember seeing her be.

  She hugged me so tight that she thanked me for saving her and that I am the biggest hero to her.

  I had her go in and change and I showed her around the house.  Then we was right back were we started. I explained to her the same way my mom and dad did me, this will always be your home and that you can stay as long as you want to.  She told me that she misses her home.. I new right then what to do.  It was getting late so we went in to pillow fight then to bed.

  She never had anyone read to her.  This was her first book and I was so happy to be starting a lot of firsts with her.

  Never new what it would feel like to have to take care of someone other then myself. I wonder if I can do it and keep my promise to have her stay.  I guess I need my sleep as well. Tomorrow is a new day and I need to show her around town.

   This is where I live.  I am 18 and I did have a roommate. But me and that roommate did not get along that well.  He is a science alien type and I am a party person,. looking for either a singing gig or model. My roommate moved out in the middle of the night while I was at a party. I guess that's how it goes sometimes.

  This is me, I am out listening to live music at the park.  I just needed to get away and relax, I have been thinking about how I am going to pay bills now. I have to get a job. I was going to go back and stay with my adopted mom and dad, but I left the day after my 18th birthday.   The house was getting to small for me.  There was 8 kids in the house, each adopted.  Every time a new kid join the family, the house gets a new look for about a month to help the kid from not getting home sick.   I always told myself I will never have kids. I had enough with them.

  As I was returning home, Stop get the mail, hoping that I hear something back from an out of state job.  But there was something else in it that I wasn't sure what it was.  It was a book with my name on it and some little tab notes in it.  Could this be a model gig I was looking for? I sure hope so.  As I cracked open just a little bit of the book, I see that it was from my adopted parents. I was a little scared to open it all the way. I better go inside to finish. I don't want my neighbors to think I am crazy for passing out on the sidewalk. They may tell me they have adopted a new kid or something.

   As I walk into my small 2 bedroom place,empty, all that is left is my old roommate space stuff that he said he will come back for later. I thought to myself how I miss the house and all the different colors and back ground from each kid and how we had the different foods. This is the first time something hit my stomach and I was home sick.

   As I sat down to read what was sent to me, I was getting more nerves.  I tried to read it as slow and understanding as I can but it just didn't make any sense.  It was like talking to me in a different language.   At that point I just seen that they have passed away and the kids when back to there country in a foster home.  On a little tab I seen some writing that I know that came from my mom.  It asked me to grow up and get the kids and be a family.

  I closed that book real fast, went straight to the bar.  I had to get a drink. I just wanted to act like I never saw those words.

  Drinking a little helps me get up and sing. I guess everyone didn't like it and left.  I need to get my act together and go get a job. I need a job before I can think of being a family. I need a job to pay my bills. I need a job cause I can't be a no body.

  Went to the grocery store. It was like the rest, "will call you if we get an opening"

  Went to the book store..Even tho a help wanted was on the window. I get told they don't like when bums come in, it scared the children.  Then it hit me. I just left the bar. I must really rank. How can I be so stupid.  I need to get it together.

  As I was cooking, All I could think about is how am I suppose to get my sister and brothers and cook for them? I don't know how to even make egg rolls. That was my sisters favorite thing. She was one year younger then me. I hope she is ok. I miss them all greatly.

 Woke up to a call. But that's not really what woke me up.  I just couldn't get to sleep. I had to figure out how to get the money to travel to go get my sisters and brothers? They must be scared. How long have they been gone?  I answered the phone. A strange man said something at the door for me and hung up. What kinda creep will call with something like that? My day is messed up.

  I go downstairs to the front door. There was a box.  I opened it.. It was full of money and some plane tickets and a letter to were they may be at.  I was very excited. Of course my brain went threw a lot of stuff. Like do I have to go get them? But the other side said yes I have to. Good versus Evil.
  I am awake might as well book my flight.  So off to China first...
