I was walking down a road lit only by wan street lights on a winter night. As I was about to go back to my house a flicker light in distance caught my eye. Although I did not know what it was I succumbed to my curiosity and decided to investigate.
When I got closer, I could see that it was coming from an abondened building. I hesitated for a moment wondering if I should turn back but something inside me said that I had to continue. So I listened my instincts.
Then I opened the door and stepped inside. It was dark and musty but as I went deeper I realized there was a girl who seemed to be same age with me and as scared as me. “Are you okay?” I asked while looking her dirty clothes. Then she looked my inside my eyes and answered “I was playing hide and seek with my friends but now I can not find a way back to my family.” She also whispered that she was lost. At that moment I knew that I have to help her but I did not know how could I help.
And then I had an idea that totally relies on girl’s memory. First I asked that if she can remember the house that she is living in. She said that she is remembering that her house has pink outside walls, grey roof, and a garden with apple trees also gren grasses. Suddenly I felt relieved because I thought that finding that kind of house was going to be easy. So I grabbed my new friend’s hand and got on the road for the second time on that night.
As I thought finding the house did not take long time. After ringing the door bell I quickly asked the girl’s name. “My name is Sarah. What’s yours?” she said while widely smiling. I told her that my name is Katie. While we were agreeing on being best friends and she was thanking me for helping her, door opened. Then I saw her family. They were really happy to see Sarah again. I was sure that they were aware of the weird absence of her. After Sarah said “Bye!” to me, door slammed. But I wanted to reassure that my new best friend was happy. When I looked in through the window the whole family was sitting around the table, eating, and talking. All of a sudden I realize that I was walking for a long time, my legs were tired, and I had to go back to my parents too.
When I finally got back to my house, the door was already open. With curiosity and a little bit of fear I stepped inside but everything seems normal. I blinked my eyes and from that moment they were wide open. Then I gasped because before I did not see my dad who was standing very close to me. When my mom also came near me with a strange look, I already started to telling all the events that happened while I was walking. After I finished story, they started to laugh really hard and they told me that I was sleepwalking around in the garden whole night. Then I realized that I never actually went for a walk or went in an abondened building and I created a best friend whose name was Sarah.
At the end I thought that it was funny too and we went back to our sweet sleeps. But since that day I did not forget my best friend Sarah who also accompanied me in all of my dream after that day.
