Erin's+story

It all started about ten years ago on the island of Crete in Greece. A small family lived in a small house, that some people wouldn't even call a house. They weren't poor, yet not wealthy. They were in debt of a lot of money and they had to repay the bank sometime. They had to find out a way to earn money. The family consists of three people, a mother, father and a daughter.Their names were Andrew, Lena, and Erin.They all lived together in a small neighborhood, which wasn't so bad because there was another girl, about Erin's age, named Victoria, who likes to be called Tori. She lived next door to them for Erin to hang out with. They became best friends and they wanted to go on an adventure. They had to plan their journey so everything would go well. Tori told Erin that they should go without telling anyone, to make it more fun. Then Erin suggested that it would take about three days to get to their destination. So they mapped out their route and packed all their stuff. They decided to meet each other in the morning outside by the big tree. Then Tori and Erin got in an argument about who was prettier. This was a huge deal because in Greece it meant the world to be very pretty. Then they both decided that they were both very pretty, and that they should go to sleep at home and get as much sleep as possible, so they would have enough energy to walk the long walk they would have ahead of them. The next day they met in front of the tree with their things and began their journey.They were both 14 years old, and they were responsible. Their parents should trust them. Besides, they were in high school. They had to find out where they were going to go. They passed a restaurant and then they became very hungry and thirsty. Then they find a shady tree and set up a camp for the night. They went through the tent that they had, and there was a huge hole in the center of it! That certainly wouldn't work. They would have to sleep in there sleeping bags next to a fire, and sleep under the stars. While they were sleeping, a strange man came behind Erin and tied her to the tree they were sleeping next to. Erin had been knocked out and tied to the tree. When Tori woke up, she saw Erin and ran right over to her to untie her. Then suddenly the strange man came out again and got her too. While they were both knocked out, the man loaded their things and them onto the truck. He tied them up and took them to his special cave, waiting for them to wake up. Meanwhile, Lena and Andrew were expecting Erin to be home from Tori's, thinking that they had a sleepover. Then Lena called Tori's mom and asked when Erin would be home. She said that they thought that they were at Erin's house. Then both families parents were extremely worried. Then the men of each family, including Andrew, Cody, Tori's older brother, and Ryan, Tori's dad. They had to take all the clues that they had taken from their actions. So packing seceretly, some food, sleeping bags, tents. They must have runaway or something. They figured that they would be fine, even though they were alone, yet they are very smart, so they would wait for them to come home. When Tori woke up she saw that they were on the road to a temple, that they could see in the distance. They were put on a truck, still tied up inside the truck. As Tori was looking out the window.There was a beautiful view of the ocean, so they must have traveled very, very far away from home. Then Tori quickly woke up Erin and told her what was happening. When they were stopped, the driver and the unexpected passenger got out of the truck, carried Tori and Erin to they temple and were both looking at them strangely.They looked about 15, and then they looked very, very familiar. Oh yeah, Tori thought, they were two guys that go to our school that were following the truck! What are they trying to do to us? The two people who were following the truck saved them from the strange men and took them to a temple. They were their heroes!Then one of them started to tell them their names, which were Jake and Dakota. They told them that they really wanted to see them and to show them their special hide out. Their hide out wasn't really a hide out because it was huge! The good thing was that they were very nice. It turned out that this was the place they were destined to go to, to this beautiful temple. It was obvious that it was an ancient Greek temple. It was so different, special, and elegant in its own way. As Erin and Tori were walking around they were thinking about several things, such as, how long would they stay here? When would they go home? Would they go home, or keep going somewhere? They had to decide. They decided to go home. But, which way was home? Hopefully Jake and Dakota could help them. Then Erin asked Jake which way was the way home. He told Tori and Erin that Dakota and him could drive them home, back to the tree that they had originally started at. Erin and Tori were very pleased. On there long drive home, the four teenagers became very good "friends", and they always kept in touch. When Tori and Erin got home, their parents were very happy, and they all lived happily ever after.
