chapter 3

I walked  down a sleepy street leading to a dull shop I did a quick  check for security cameras  their were none, I walked into  the shop there was only one person at the till

a very fat guy that, I could out run if I tried.

I grabbed a basket and  helped my self to some crisps  I skimmed through the isle to find

a pasty, "chicken and bacon nice " I thought aloud

 I skipped over to the drinks shelf I got a few bottles of water and some cola

 now the hard part I thought I grabbed the basket. And darted out the shop  by the time the staff had figured out what  happened it was two late  I was half way across town.

I slowed when I came  to the forest border. Mary was no were to be seen

I put the basket down  on the leaves  I took off my  back pack and placed it next to the basket. it was light I only had my  brother's book on  nature which had come in handy a lot over the last few months, my  diary, a few knives and mister hippo my teddy one off the last memorise  of my mother, I put the cola in my bag and ate the pasty

about two hours later

 I heard a noise behind me I turned two see Mary carrying two very large sleeping  bags

"About time"

"sorry, but I saw these and thought they'd  be useful"

"yeah it's getting colder"

"here I got you a pasty,"

I handed her the  pasty

"thanks"

"we should set of early tomorrow "

I looked at the sky  it looked like it was about to throw it down. I frowned  that was not good for us, marigold followed  my gaze. she sighed

"glad I got  the sleeping bags"

 

 I woke up to rain pattering  my face I opened my eyes .

"rain" I muttered

rain I jumped up my sleeping bag was soaked everything was soaked there was a great puddle were I was sleeping. I ran over to marigold

"Marygold,"MARYGOLD" I shook her awake violently

"ummn wah","jack stop licking me!"

"mary, wake up  your  wet."

she didn't budge

I gave up on mary and decided to try and  selvedge what I could

I packed up my bag and through it over a tree to dry

I took of my coat and hung that up my back pack  was wet.

thank the gods my books were okay,

 I walked over to mary and splashed her with water.

"what was that for?" she questioned

 was all I said

"get up all right,all right'"

"she got up still sleepy"

 watched as realisation dawned in her face

"what the hell happened!"

"rain a hell of a lot of rain" I muttered exasperated

" we won't be leaving very soon"

"why not?"

"if we pack up now it'll all go mouldy, we need to let it dry"

"She flopped back down on the ground" and sighed ,"so what are we going to do  then"

I walked over and sat next two her,

after, a moment silence

"why did you leave"

she fiddled with some loose cotton on her shirt

"She changed"

"who"

Marygold     Diarni
