    The lovers of the caves


    There was once a lonely boy with no friends or family. He had no one to help him out. No one to help him though a tough day or a week and no one to love him and no one to see he lived alone in a cave

    There was once a lonely girl that had no family and lived in an alleyway where there was nothing but garbage and trash.
    She was very lonely with no one to appreciate her in any way shape or form.

    There was a dark rainy day and she had no shelter just sitting there on a pile of garbage she decided she wasn’t going to live here anymore. So she took a walk down a rugged and rocky road.
    She slipped a couple of times on the rocks.

    The boy was hungry and decides to go looking for some food.
    He walks into the girl and asked for some food and she said that she was looking for some food too. She takes him back to her alley. As they walked though the streets and ignoring the rude comments like, “aw gross they smell like pigs,” and, “look a bunch of kids.”

    As they came back to her alley there was donuts that were a little stale but they never tasted them before and she loved them so they packed them in a bag and they rummage through the garbage and finds a box of crackers. She finds some meat but decided not to take it. Then they walked back to the cave, but on their way there, some kids got out of school, and some of them were saying, “Go to school!” But they said that they cant they don’t have a family or any money to pay for it. The kids gave them the rest of there lunch so they took and thanked them for there generosity.

    As they headed back to their cave, they talked about their past and how they got separated from their family. The girl talked about how she grew up on the streets she said some stuff about her brother taking care of her. She said, “he was the best brother anyone can have when you’re homeless because he takes really good care of me when I have no one to talk to or hang out with.” As time went on, she said, “there was a man with a grudge and he didn’t like the way we all dressed. So that day my brother stood up for his rights; he walked into a building with the man with the grudge, and then my brother only came out in an ambulance bed. Now I don’t know where he is. I hope he is still looking for me…. Man just to see my brother one more time…” she trailed off into thought.

    As the boy was talking about his childhood, they seemed to see that they were the same. They come from they same style of life that there brothers taught them how to live. As they got to know each other, they had a better understanding of each other, how they live and, where they live.

    As they arrived to their cave, she saw a little flicker of light. The boy ran over to the cave faster than you can imagine. He ran to the back of the cave, and the girl fallowed him. The boy started picking up the dry logs around the cave and put them on the fire one by one, so that if he had thorough the wood on the log at once they would have lost there only source of heat and since it was the wet season there would have been no way to get dry wood so that’s why he goes and gathers as much wood as possible.

    As there fire lit up they decided it was time to go to bed he pulled out these huge blankets and there was a mattress under it all and he was a nice guy so he let the girl sleep on it but before they go to bed the boy asked what was her name. She answered only with a stare and said that there family was never around to give her a real name but her brother always called her Samantha but you can call me Sam . Ok said the boy. My name is Alexander but you can call me Alex if you want to. Ok then it’s good to know we have someone to watch each others back, right? Yes that is a good thing to know right said Alex yes said. Ok then good night said Alex. Good night said Sam.
    In the morning they woke up to a surprisingly bright sunny day and there were no clouds in the sky. As Alex walked outside and said come on lets go to town so we can find some breakfast. Ok said Sam.

    As they walked down the street they found a wallet and it had no name card or any type of name of address to return it to so they looked inside the wallet and found seventy-five dollars and a few quarters. The boy wouldn’t stop shaking and then Alex finally said “come on we need to go shopping for more food instead of rummaging though garbage piles and finding rats in food that’s gross do you want to live off of that’? Said Alex. No said Sam I don’t. Okay let’s go and find some grub. Ok said Sam.

    As they went on and found a market with very little people they saw a fish market and as they entered one of the men said “gross man you smell horrible”. “Sorry said Alex.
    Hey boy im running low on my crew and it doesn’t seem that you have much to live with how bout I give you a job on my boat?
    Alex started blankly yes of course I will take it I need the money for some decent clothe. What about me said Sam. “I don’t know maybe you can get a job” said Alex. “No one will ever take me in for a job looking like this. Yes you are correct said the fishermen you can work in the soup kitchen with my wife you will get paid money for some clothe and some food to last you guys. Oh that’s wonderful Sam said. When do we start? Alex and Sam said
    Today of course you will get paid in a week if you keep up the good work.

    About two hours later Alex and the fishermen went out on a fishing trip for some fish. The fishermen and the crew showed Alex how to load the fish and were to go. Alex was just fifteen so he couldn’t work on the real deck yet. Not until he shows that he is ready o do real work.

    Sam loved her first job and she mixed the soups and made a lot of wonderful soups. As she waited for the water to boil she wondered around the kitchen looking for something to do. Then she saw some crackers she ate some and then the lady walked in and said have as much as you want we have a ton of them. Oh im sorry I didn’t mean to be rude I was just so hungry Sam said. Its ok you can stay here with your little friend as long as you want to we would never abandon little children on the streets. You are very kind Sam said

    All was going well on board the ship. He was now putting the fist from the nets into crates. Then all of a sudden a fire broke out and the cages caught on fire but luckily there was a heavy rain so then the fire quickly stopped and know one knew what happened to cause the fire. The boy was shocked as he thought of his fire in his cave wondering if it was still going. He then went up to the captain. The captain was looking at his map say where in the world are we?

    As Alex saw the map and easily said that they were near the west coast were he live. He studied the one map that he had memorized it and s he said that there was a fish market near the coast and then the captain said of course why I didn’t see that! Well there was a huge picture of a fish market and of course there is always a harbor near fish markets because of fish.

    As the night came the moon came out and Sam was sitting out side waiting for Alex to get back and thinking of the worst and as she saw a boat pull up to there harbor she jumped up and yelled “there they are there they are!”
    They waited for them to shop up with the fish but it wasn’t that much because they hap to sell a lot of them to get some money for the kids.

    As Alex and Sam went back to there cave they saw a little flickering light and then they ran to there cave to put more dry wood on the fire wow im surprised that the fire lasted more than a day huh yes me to intruded Sam. They through the fire on the wood and they fell asleep like that. They were tired.
