I have two options. I can get out of the cellar and get killed by the tornado. My second option: Stay in here with the murder and get killed. Hmm.... which should I choose? Death or death! A thought popped into my head. I need to do what I do best. I want to thank all those child murder/kidnapping lessons that I always dread. "Tara, why are you screaming?" the murder asked. "I'm terribly afraid of bugs, and a fly flew onto my face!" I lied. "Okay, just making sure nothing was wrong." She stated. Nothing was wrong? How stupid did she think I was? Just because I'm dumb doesn't mean I don't know when something is wrong. I'm with a murder, and that's not wrong?!?
    Obviously she thought I caught onto her plan. My death sentence awaits me, when I notice she is slowly sliding her knife out, but behind her deadly bright yellow Abercrombie jacket. I decide to act like what I am. I act dumb. 
    "Hey Kelly," I said. "Is that a silver sterling wrist cuff decorated with red jewels?" She caught on. I was talking about the knife. "Can I see it?" I innocently asked. She quickly slid it back into it's hiding place. "Sorry, but it's extremely expensive, and a token of the Davis's history. My mom gave it to me, and she doesn't want anyone else's fingerprints on it." Man, she great at forming lies quickly. But I have an even better comeback that will through her of her tracks.
    "Wow, Kelly, smooth...." I said in low-toned voice. "What?" the murder asked while in shock that her lie didn't satisfy me. "Duh! How don't you know? We talked about it a couple weeks ago!" I yelled, "surprised" the murder didn't know the answer."Short term memory, sorry!" She replied in less then a millisecond.
     "I know who you are." I stated. "How?" I pity her in a tiny part of my mind. "Because your voice is so weird." I hope she is totally confused. This a game I used to play with Kelly. I decide to blow it off. "You are Kelly's dog! Ruff! Ruff!" I laugh as I explain. "You know that game,remember, or is it short term memory?"I asked with an attitude. "Yup. Sorry buddy." She said. 
     Ugh! She thinks she is a smart alec. She took me up on the offer I just created in my mind. "I'll telly you everything if you let me go get your dog. Pretty please!" I asked with a hint a sympathy in my voice for her "short term memory". "Fine, but it better be quick. The tornado is closing in and I want to finish you off myself." She said in a annoyed tone when she realized what she had just said. I beat her to the explanation. "Finish me off?" I asked while "worried". "Um.. yeah. I wanted you to bring a game board, too," the murder said while questioning her answer.
    I boom out of the cellar and run to the front door. I examine the tornado's tracks from the peephole. I open the door as quietly as I can, and close it without making a peep. I run in the opposite direction of the tornado, which is where my house is. I see it, and start crying hysterically as I turn around and run away into the horror winds' path.
