One day I woke up and my sister came and told me we were going on a trip. I was honestly shocked. Since we have not gone on a trip for about 1 month now, it was fascinating for me. I packed my bags and slept and of course I thought about what I was gonna do on the trip and everything. The next morning I was downloading youtube videos, music, and everything. Then I got ready and my family and I left. In the car, I played my favourite song and then watched some youtube videos which made me conscious. So, I decided to sleep. When I woke up I asked my parents how many minutes or hours were left. They said 30 minutes so I went back to sleep. Then we woke up and we were at our destination. I was amazed to see how pretty the location was. I ran in the fields while my parents were setting up the tent. I played in the field with my sister for a while. My sister was playing hide and seek when I heard someone calling my name. I got scared so I shouted my sister’s name but later I figured out it was my mother and father calling my name. I went to the tent and the dinner was ready. I ate dinner while looking at my phone and I did my dishes and went inside the tent. I looked at my phone for an hour or so then went to bed. Everyone slept.
My eyes opened as I heard a sound. I woke up to use the bathroom as well but the sound kept distracting me. I woke up my dad out of fear. My dad and I went to the bathroom. Now if you wonder where the bathroom was, the van we came in was an RV van where my sister was sleeping that had a bathroom. My dad told me to sleep in the RV. I said yes because who wants to go back there in the tent? So after using the bathroom I went near my sister and she had two blankets on. I stole one and a pillow and went to sleep on the couch. I woke up again and I could hear the same sound. The sound was like a baby crying but a cat at the same time. I got scared and I called my sister’s name hoping she would wake up when it was dark. She didn’t wake so I just cuddled inside my blanket and started crying. Then when I thought enough I built up my courage and stood up and went up to my sister and slapped her not that hard but still, I slapped her. She got up and screamed at me for long enough for me to cry. I was crying and started explaining to her that there was a weird sound and tried to wake her up. My sister was confident enough so me and my sister went outside to go to our mom and dad. I was squeezing my sister's hand and begging her to go back. My sister did not listen to me and at that point, I was crying so loud and screaming for help. Soon my father and mother came running and asked what happened. My sister told them everything. Later we all decided to check out the sound. I know it's a bad idea but no one listens to me in this house. I took off my slippers and held them as a weapon. The sound was coming from the bush so I went closer and my family followed me. Later, When we got close to the bush. I went inside it well like not inside just looking at what was inside the bush. Then I remember shaking and screaming because I saw a baby there but not only a baby but a dead body, it was covered in blood. Then I don’t know what happened. All I remember is my mother screaming my name and my sister shaking me.
I woke up with red and blue lights flashing into my eyes. I woke up my eyes were blurry and I was in an ambulance bed with someone beside me crying. My eyes slowly felt clear and I realised there were police around me and I was being taken to the hospital. I got to my hospital bed and the doctor raised my leg high like I don't know about 12 inches high. Loosen my belt. After some medical proceedings, I felt much better and I was kept in the hospital for a whole week. I was still traumatised by that incident and still want to cry when I remember it.
