Dance with the Devil- Pg. 1

Have you ever had an out of body experience? Well if you haven't it is on of the strangest feelings ever. It's as though you're watching T.V. and then you turn the channel and you're on it. And I don't know about you, but I hate seeing myself on T.V., it's weird. Well it's like that only weirder, and you can't turn the T.V. off or change the channel or do anything but watch.1

That was how I felt the night that my world changed. It's been only a few hours so everything is still fresh in my mind. I really don't want to go through it, at least not yet. The details are so cruel and dark, that I know I couldn't talk it through without crying. I still need to think about things before I tell anyone. Though all I am thinking about is my parents, and how much I hate them, and how much they have hurt me. From those thoughts alone, you can put together a damn good theory.2

Now, only two hours after my world ended and began, I am on a bus. It's moving away from all the pain I've had, and toward a new start I hope. It was the only bus that was leaving tonight, and I feel that maybe it was fate.The bus, though, is heading toward a place I don't know and I'm kinda scared. 3

It's heading toward a camp, and I don't know anything else. It's not like I signed up for camp, hell, I don't even have the money for it. And I wonder why I was aloud to buy a ticket for this bus. Maybe they'll drop me off at a nearby town or something. Or maybe (this is fantasy talking) I can go and it'll be one of those fun camps with fishing, swimming and fun, fun, fun! As I said, its only a fantasy. 4

I'm actually nervous. If the people at the camp see I haven't signed up and just ranaway from home what would they do. I really hope they won't call my "parents". If they do, I'm deader than dead. I might as well throw myself into a forest fire. I'm scared to death and I only hope that it's better than what I had before.5
