         Kendra's POV:
          I, Kendra, was bored.

         I felt as if it were only a manner of time before I lost my house too.

         I did not exactly tell my sister the truth.  The truth is I lost my job.

          Yep, I am jinxed.


         Jinxed beyond repair.

          I packed a few things into a knapsack and others into a small suitcase.

           I tied a jacket around my waist and put a few food items into the small bag on my shoulder.  It was not much but was better than nothing.

          I shoved a sleeping bag into its case. There, I thought I am ready.

        Well, ready as I can be anyway.


         I left the house and locked the door.

        I hid my key under the mat.

        I  journeyed back to the forbidden property with my bags and suitcase.

        Once, there I tossed the bags over the gate.

        I climbed over with only the suitcase in my left hand.


     This time I landed with a less rough landing than the last time.

    Yes, my return was not as bad as I expected.

      I  picked up my other items and carried them with me.

      I hid them behind the rock pile.

      I could risk anyone seeing them.


     I  sighed.

     Now what?

    It was not as if I thought out my plan that thoroughly.

      I   hoped no one would want me to return to school.

     Who would welcome a rebellious spirit like me into the classroom?


     No one ever wanted me.

      I never felt more worthless than I did now.

       I saw him as he arrived at the place.

     I watched him take out his dog, grateful the hideous demon had not seen me.

      I breathed a sigh of relief that I was unscathed for the time being.


       I  waited until the dark came.

       I removed my sleeping bag from its hiding place and climbed into it.

      Good night, I thought.

      I  laid down to sleep with thoughts of better times deeply hidden within my memories.
