Orange, red, and, yellow

From the colors of

orange, red, and,

yellow,

turn to bare,

then to white.

And as you marvel of the beauty

of it all,

you find that soon

white turns to brown,

then green,

as summer slowly replaces 

the harsh cold 

of winter.

I miss summer..

 Sunlight beams through the window

as the cool breeze blows outside.

The trees sway

from side to side.

And as the day wind's down to an end,

and the day slowly turns to night,

I shall dream of summer

once again.

Change

When summer's warm wind turns cold,

and the leaves fall to the ground.

When the sky turns gray,

and wind swirls 'round,

that is when you know that winter's close.

So huddle by the fire,

and tell your stories,

and soon winter will fade once again

to summer.

Night

Silence fills the room,
Louder then any sound.
The wind howls outside,
Trees sway in the wind.
As the moon shines bright in the sky,
And the stars give their light,
We fall asleep hoping,
For the day after the night.

Rain

The rain pounds
On my windowsill.
Heavy then light,
Fast then slow.
It help the flowers grow
Big and strong.
The clouds clear,
Sun beckons through.
Hello sun, goodbye rain.

Washington bus trip

I was to go on a bus trip to Washington DC, the Capitol of the United States of America. Our first stop on the bus trip was Patterson in New York. Patterson was amazing!!!! The artwork on the walls was breathtaking and our tour guide was super nice. As we walked around we got to see how everything worked, how everything was designed and translated, it was just amazing.

Afterwords we went and stayed at our first hotel. Right across our hotel was this cute little diner called "The cup and saucer", and let me tell you this.. The burgers are AMAZING!! We went back to our room and went to bed. The next morning we got back on the bus and headed for The Walkhill farm, might I just say that this was probably my favorite part of the trip!

Walkhill was spectacular. The Walkhill farm is the part of Bethel that does printing. I think my favorite part of Walkhill was when we cold see the printing presses. Seeing how fast and efficient they work was beyond amazing! As we walked around we could see how organized everything was and just to see it all was simply spectacular. Our tour guide was really nice, and my cousin Theo knew him so we got to see some 'behind the scenes' sort of stuff. One of the things we got to see was the real estate area. We got to see the buying, the selling and the donations. The origination of everything is such a beautiful thing.

After we were done at Walkhill we headed for Washington. We got there really late at night, it must have been near to 9 o'clock by the time we finally got to the hotel. Tired from the days events I fell asleep pretty much right away. The next morning we went to the Smithsonian.

As we all piled onto the bus, I was getting really excited, I couldn't wait to go to the natural history museum! Our bus driver and my cousin Gene gave us instructions on what to do. Mum and I walked over to the natural history museum first. We decided to check out the dinosaur bones first, they were so cool! Next we decided to go and check out the hope diamond, it was so beautiful! Afterwords we went and checked out the animals and the animal photography. Lastly we went to the butterfly pavilion, it was breathtaking!! All the butterfly's of different colors, shapes and sizes, mixed in the variety of plants, it was beautiful.

After this we walked over to the American history museum. We explored for a little bit, we found the general motors area and we got to see all the innovations. Next we found the food area, and it was really cool to see Julia Childs kitchen. We finally found first lady's dresses, and they were so beautiful! We got some lunch, and we saw the counter, there was a demonstration going on and we got to see it, it was pretty cool.

Afterwords we walked over to the air and space museum, it was so cool! When we were done looking around we went back to where we had to wait for the bus. That night my cousin Kim and her husband Theo invited me to go and play some card games them them and some other people from the bus. It was so much fun. We played a game calls "Mafia" and we had loads of fun.

The next morning we went to the zoo and it was cool to see all the animals. I think that my favorite animal was either the pandas or the otters. After the zoo we went to the old post office with the clock tower, and we had a lot of fun.

To sum it all up, I had a bunch of fun on the trip to Washington, and I really hope that I can go again!

Creepy

To say that everything that has been happening is creepy would be an understatement, it's just plain freaky. I've been hiding, not a trace from my last life to be found, yet they found. Well the main thing that i needed to find out was who was the _they_ and what they wanted.

I again called mom.
"Hello?" The voice on the other end said
"Hi, dad, where are you guys??" I asked
"Were at the store, is everything okay?" Dad asked
"Ya, everything's fine, I just wanted to check on you guys."
"Okay, love you."
"Love you too, bye." I hung up. At least I knew my parents were safe.

I continued to try to get ahold of Kayla, but to no prevail.

The words continued to ring through my head "We know your secret, you can't hide anymore." they went through my head over and over again, making my head spin. Next thing I knew I was on the ground, screaming. "SHUT UP!!" I screamed over and over again, trying to get the voice to stop. I felt eyes in me, I looked up to see a face.

"Who are you?" I questioned
"I was just about to ask you the same thing" The stranger said. She looked to be about 14 or 15. She had dirty blonde hair, and was about 5'4", she had bright blue eyes and a perfect smile.
"Ya, well, I asked you first." I replied
"My name is Chloe, what's your?" she asked
"Kaitlynn, but you can call me Kait or Kat.. It's up to you."
"Well Kait, it's nice to meet you, now do you mind telling me why you were on the ground screaming?"
"It's kinda a hard topic to discuss."
"I'm game, shoot." she said
"Well.. See I was born and raised to be a spy, but after a while, all of us stopped, so I've been here living a 'normal' life. Well some people have found me and know my secret and now are putting my friends and family in danger.. And it's all my fault."

Chloe just looked at me. Would she believe me? Could I trust her, or was she with them?
