Tik Tok went the clock . Ella counted the seconds on the clock waiting until it was 4:00 so she could go home . There she was staring at a white board and sitting on a hard wooden chair. It was the middle of math class and she was inpatient to go home .

When the last bell ran ,Ella ran out of the classroom and rushed home . The feeling of comfort she felt when she could go upstairs and lay on her soft bed . Her mind had been all over the place today , it was as if her mind was in a whirl that she did not know how to stop it.

As diner time rolled around she gathered her things and went downstairs. Her parents as usual waiting for her . They always had this bright smile on their face and always were calm and relaxed. Gee she would give anything to feel like that again. These last few days had been crazy for her. Every second she was tormented by the dream that she had. She remembered it and she could almost feel it .The way her hands tried to separate the branches and her hair filled with leaves . She heard them chasing her and yelling at her. Indeed she felt scared and lonely.

It was a costume that everyone in the family group would always eat meals together , this was a way they would share a bit of time together. At least that is what the goverment said . In a quote they said " This shall be a rule . This shall be a law that must be obeyed , everyone in their family group should eat together . This allows families to stay united as one ." Sometimes Ella questioned if that was true . There were days were she didn't even say a word to anyone , including her parents . there were days were loneliness took the better of her and she didn't feel united to anyone. This was one of these days . Ella sat in silence as her parents and sister ate . She hardly ate anything either . Ella felt something that she did not feel before , a sense of fear took over her but as the fear grew stronger she grew stronger with it. Ella felt she was changing!
