A few scrapes or two- Hailee

We were trapped. We knew we were. St. 911 was not the best place to be at the moment.
   After numerous times of trying to open the door, we all gave up and sat down, breathing hard. Finally, somebody had spoken.
  "Who is that and why is he moving toward us?" Kailee blurted.
  When I looked where she was pointing, I saw a tall man walking toward us.
  M.O.N.
  Rikki stood up. "I should have known this was a trap!"
  "Settle down, my darling," Mon said in his fake, gentle, persuading voice. "I think you all know why you're here."
  I could just see Rikki breathing hard, ready to jump and attack. She ran forward, and grabbed the sword out of the knight's hands.  She. Was. Fearless.
  "Rikki! NO." Carter yelled.
  I could so tell that Rikki was ignoring her.
  "I wan't you to hit me, as hard as you can." Mon snarled.
  Rikki started slashing her sword at Mon as hard as she could, taking every chance she got. Mon ducked and dodged, automatically having a sword in his hands, too. He fought back. The duel seemed to never end for hours before someone finally got cut.
  That someone was Rikki.
  Mon slashed a great slash at Rikki's arm, leaving a huge, nasty, bloody gash.
  "RIKKI!!!" I yelled, tears streaming down my face.
  It took her a few moments to realize what had happened and fainted.
  "Who's next?" Mon said.

Travel by door- Hailee

   Carter, Alex, Rikki, Bailee, Kailee and I were all stuck on a sidewalk somewhere in China. We were all tired, and we didn't know what to do. All we knew is that we had to get back to America to find "a clue in the cabin."
  Out of the blue, we all blacked out. I don't know how, or why we all did at the same time, but we all did.
The next weirdest thing, we all woke up at the same time. We all found ourselves laying down a few yards away from the cabin. We were in America.
  I was confused. Me being a future scientist and all, I wanted to find out how in the heck that happened.
  We all just stood up, and feeling dazed, we ran toward the cabin. But just when we walked through the door.....   The scene changed. We were in a pitch black place, who knew how long the walls could go on.  (What walls?!?)  But we could see a single door. That's all. When we got through that door...
   We were in a volcano. We couldn't believe this.  We wanted to go back. We turned around to get back through the door, but there was no door. Kailee let out a huge scream (just as usual) while Alex was assuring her the we will find a way to get out of this stinkin' volcano. Then, Carter claimed that she found another door. But it was at the very bottom of the volcano. So we all took turns jumping down from the ledge that we were on for a while, and entered into the door. (Or exited the volcano?)
  The next thing is we were in space. We were walking on pure nothing. I could see all the stars, so I knew we were in space. But to add extra weirdness, the constellations were moving. Orion was hunting, the Big Dipper was dipping,  and even Ursa Major was walking. I couldn't- wouldn't believe this. But it was all too beautiful and confusing, I was crying. (Such a baby, right?) Then we found another door. I didn't wan't to leave, but if we were going to save our parents, we had to.
  We went through so many mazes and doors, I felt like I was traveling the world. All my sisters were just plain scared, but me and my smarticles thought it was amazing. (I am the nerdiest scientist!) But it was about the 57th door that we made it back to the cabin. All my sisters walked through the door, But right before I did, it struck me. How could we have survived the heat of the volcano? How come we didn't suffocate in space? And why didn't the minator crush us in the labrinth? Maybe it all had to do with the charms on our bracelets. Questions were buzzing through my head. But I just shrugged and walked through the door when we found the clue.....

A sweet escape- love, Hailee

        "Tie em' up and lock em' in the room." Said Antonio. He was talking to the guy that we did not know. He was wearing a long jacket, with the hood hanging over his eyes. He had jeans that were way to big, like the gangster style. His shoes, wait- his shoes, he didn't have any. They were plain, bare feet, all scraped and bruised. I wonder how that happened.
           He made sure all of us were in the room. He tied us all up with rope on our ankles, wrist, knees, and to make it even better, he tied us up in chairs. He also tied dirty rags over our mouths. Gross.
          He walked out of the room, locked the door, and left. Just like that.
          We all looked exhausted. Bailee and Kailee were about to fall asleep, I had a bruise on my head, Rikki was trying her best to untie, (finally gave up) and Carter and Alex were barely hypnotized. I looked around, trying to spot something useful. Then- wow we got lucky- I saw a pocket knife. I showed it to everyone, then started to cut the ropes. It didn't take long to finish. I busted out of my chair, feeling as free as ever. I helped my sisters get out of the ropes and rags. We ran out the door, running, running, running.

            Nothing felt better than the cool breeze of freedom blowing in our faces.
