• Previously on Alone and afraid in the dark:
    I knocked on the door
    waited 5 minutes
    the door opened.
    i was so happy
    then i realized......
    ________________
    i had just knocked upon Mrs.Marleykay's door
    she stood their silently with a tired and angry look on her face.
    "Mrs.Marleykay, my parents might be gone.maybe sleeping but i don't know. i knocked and now it's pouring rain.i know you don't enjoy kids like me but please.if i could just use the phone and if they don't answer atleast let me stay the night.Please."i said while the rain pouring down on my head.
    She just stood their.
    then she opened the door wider motioning me to come in
    i walked in and looked around her most beautiful house
    "This house is so pretty!" i said.
    she stood their.
    "Mrs.Marleykay?" i said.
    she coughed.
    "yes Carter?" she said
    i just stood their aftwer i just heard the most...enchanting voice ever. thinking that she does actually know my name.
    nothing.it's not important. i said
    "okay". mrs.marleykay said"
    "Can i call my parents now?" i asked.
    "Sure." she said as she grabbed the phone and handed it to me.
    before i dialed the number i nticed mrs.marleykay had a little smile on her face. i smiled back and dialed the number.
    *ring ring ring* "Hello you have reached Laura Paul and carter please leave your name and phone number and we will get back as soon as we can" the voice thing said
    "Hey mom this is Carter, where r u? i'm at mrs.marleykays pleaseee come get me when you can" i said.
    then i hung up and turned around to mrs.marleykay
    "Mrs.MarleyKay?" i said
    "yes?" she said.
    "they didn't answer" i said as i began to cry.
    "oh don't cry you can stay here for 4 days then if they still don't come i guess we will have to send you to a foster home because i am moving in about 5 days." she said
    "NO! i don't want to go to a foster home! i want my parents i haven't seen them since last night!!!" i said.
    i started to cry even harder
    "Carter calm down you have 4 days they will probably come tomarrow" she said
    "Where am i sleeping?" i said whiping away my tears.
    "you choose.anywhere but my bedroom."she said
    "Can i sleep out here on the couch and watch t.v for awhile?" i asked
    "sure." mrs.marleykay said.
    we both headed to bed i turned on the tv the news came on and i saw......
