My Secret Place

I have a secret place I go to that no one knows about. It's very tricky to get to, it goes through the garden that goes through a door, past a creek and through a gate. I'm the only one that knows about it. My brothers and sisters see me leave the house in the middle of the day or late at night, they know I have a secret but they don't know what it is yet and I don't want them to know because it's mine. My place is my place, no one else's. 

I take my dog sometimes so he can meet my friends that I made in my secret place. They are a strange bunch, they hide usually, until I tell them it's me and then they come out, most of them are small about the size of my foot. That makes me afraid I'm going to squish them though so I have to watch my step. The other are bigger about the same size as me and some look about my age, I'm 6. I have lots of friends here, they are always so nice and always play with me. 

The nice part about my secret place is it's always summer even when it's winter where I live. I play all day with my friends, we play tag with the flowers, they always win though. We also play chess with the beetles, they aren't very good I always win at chess. I wish I could stay here forever but mommy would worry and daddy would be mad, and my brothers and sisters would miss me. 

Wouldn't it be great if my brothers and sisters could come here with me and we could all play together. My friends say it's not a good idea because they don't want them to tell on me about my secret place. I really wish they could come to my secret place but I don't want them to tell. My friends said I could stay with them forever, and my brothers and sisters could come to but I don't think I like what they want me to do. The told me I have to get rid of mommy and daddy, 'they're in the way' they said. They said I can think about it and I can tell them tomorrow when I come to play again. 

I decided to tell my brother's and sisters about my secret place, they all want to go. I told them what we had to do first, they didn't like it at all and neither did I. They really wanted to go so we tried and to figure out how to get rid of mommy and daddy, I went to my friends for ideas. They were acting strange tonight, not like the other nights I've come. They were very anxious and nervous, They said we could burn the house down to get rid of them while they slept, that one wasn't so bad but the other one I didn't like, it sounded dangerous. They said I could use a knife and put it in their stomachs they said it wouldn't hurt them very long. That made me feel a little better.

I told my brothers and sisters what my friends told me, we all agreed to put the knives in their stomachs, I told them it wouldn't hurt them very long. My brother said we should burn the house too and to use the lantern and smash it on the floor so it seemed like an accident, we didn't want to get in trouble so we wanted it to look like an accident. 

Mommy and daddy didn't feel anything when we put the knives in their stomachs, they started bleeding though so I put a blanket on them. We dropped the lantern from the stairs and used the matches on the curtains, now it looks like it was an accident. 

I took my brothers and sisters to meet my friends and they weren't nervous anymore they were very nice to everyone and I introduced them all. It was very fun playing everyday but one of my brothers were gone and my friends said he didn't wanna play anymore so he left and my sister left too. 

I don't know why they didn't wanna play anymore it was very fun there but I guess they were tired, I found my sister but she was sleeping so I assumed she wanted a nap, it was a very long nap. Then everyone were taking a nap for a long time but I felt fine I wasn't tired at all, my friends said it was okay they just were sleeping for awhile, not to worry, they said I was special and that's why I didn't need a nap, they never did wake up from their naps but that's okay I'll play for them until they wake up.
