I looked around the cave hesitantly and smiled, there were two long fabrics on the floor and I thought back to what Brett had told me he put in the cave, he called them sleeping bags, I’d never seen one up close. There were also some clothes folded up on a rock. I also found food hidden exactly where he told me they’d be, food that wouldn’t spoil if kept outside. I just hoped Brett would find me soon, I yawned as I opened the sleeping bag and crawled into it, exactly like Brett had told me to. As soon as I laid my head down, I was asleep.
I woke up and it was really dark but suddenly I heard a voice. I immediately sat up, wanting to call our Brett’s name to see if it was him but too scared of it not being him and leading people to me. It took a moment before I registered the sound was coming from inside the cave, I stood grabbing the flashlight that was in the backpack and walked slowly to where the sound was coming from. As soon as I flashed the light on it something jumped up and I let out a scream. I fell back and looked again only to see an animal running away. I tried to remember its name from what I saw of it. The title in the animal book Brett showed me flashed in my mind, a raccoon.
I stood up and walked to where the raccoon was and gasped, it had been rummaging through my food, everythng was nearly destroyed. I searched through the multiple food only to find one usable can of peaches. I wanted to cry, what was I suppose to do now? And what would I do if Brett never showed up?

I had never tasted a lot of fruits because Brett was rarely able to sneak me some after I turned six and the experiments were even more and I was always monitered. But Brett always got me books I could hide, they wouldn’t know if I read books. At first whenever he could Brett read to me but after a while I learned how to read and would hide books to read when Brett couldn’t come and no one would see me. I remember reading about fruits and vegetables and they sounded so yummy, all I ever ate was the aweful soup the hunters gave me.
I picked up an apple and just held it in both my hands for a second. It was red and round just like the books said. I was about to bring it to my lips when I heard a sound on the stairs. I gasped and turned around, I was about to go out the door but I heard the steps closer and I knew they’d hear it opening and closing so I opened a cupboard and crawled into it, thankful for being so tiny that I was able to fit inside it. I didn’t close it all the way because I was scared it would make a sound and from the small crack I left open I watched a tall girl walk into the kitchen. She had black hair and was wearing pajamas.
