Here's mine but don't forget to check out @CuriousCat!
After a few more kisses we pull away. There's a rustle in the bush. Kitty squeaks and jumps into my arms.
"It's just the wind!" I laugh.
"Oh, eh. You can let me down now."
"The scary leaves might get you."
She kisses me on the cheek and I walk on, Kitty in my arms the 'basket' of fruit floating behind us. This has been great. A crazy morning but ever since Mr. Hughes left, it's been getting better and better. I just don't want this time to end. And then it does. Very abruptly...
"What the Hell!" I snap. "Who's done this?!"
I let Kitty down.
"I'm not bothered by that," Kitty says. "I'm bothered that now were going to have to face Mr. Hughes."
She trails off. Then she puts her hand to her face. There's still a red mark there from where he hit her.
"Don't worry," I say. "I'm not gunna let him near you."
I wrap my arms around her and give her a hug. As I'm hugging her I spy her note book. There's a drawing in it, a drawing of me!!! It's really quite good too. We separate. We start packing our bags with whatever's left. I pull on a shirt and put on my pack. When we're both ready we start walking back to the cabin. The forest is quiet. Minus a few noisy squirrels and the wind. Eventually we make it to the cabin. Neither of us want to do this. I lift my hand to knock on the door. But it opens and is replaced by Mr. Hughes.
"Oh look! It's the boy and his slut!" he says.
"Our camp was trashed," I growl.
I hate him so much. He take a step back and lets us in. I look around the cabin. It's basically empty. And where's Ms. Finan? This place doesn't seem right..,
