Trip to animal Kingdom

"OK mom...Yes..I'll be careful, I know the train station has weird people..Love you, bye." I said into my phone.

jeez, my mom worry's to much, why would someone want to kidnap me? I look hideous compared to other girls my age.I'm ling-long, 14 in Korea.I'm not the best looking, freckles, muddy-hazel eyes, tanned skin, and my long brown wavy hair. Boys make fun of me because of how much of a nerd I am.Girls invited me to hang-out, but then I ended up embarrassed by them. I've lived a lonely life ever since I was little, because I have an American father.It's the year of 2021, and it didn't bother me any more. I went to the ticket booth, A tall woman with a sharp jaw and short died-blond hair stood there, staring at her phone. I knocked on the glass, she jumped and said

" Dear! I got carried away! Where to miss?"

I answered " Um, down town Korea."

She typed on her computer, then handed me a gold ticket.I handed her back 20$, and bowed to  thank her.

I was on the train at 8:00 , later than usual.When I boarded the train, no one was there.I sat by the doors and texted my mom :

On my way back now.I'll text you later, when I get home.

I sighed and leaned back in the chair, Maybe i got here earlier than the past few days.The Train lurched faster, I clung to the railing.it kept going faster, faster, and faster. I might faint, or throw-up.I don't do good with speed. The train didn't stop or slow down.It sped up faster and faster. I cant take this! Someone stop the train! My body went limp, and I fell backwards.I had fainted.I woke up under a..oak tree?! I was just in a train, heading home. I staggered up, My purse was still on my shoulder. My body ached as if I had jumped out of a 12 foot tree. Howling came from all around me, and I froze.What did dad say about howls when we went camping.....

"Ling, do you hear the howls? Depending on the pitch it could be wolves, tigers, foxes.High pitched howls are wolves and foxes.Low pitched more of a growl, is tiger or jagwire!"

I snapped back to now, is it high? or low!? I listened, low and high?! I ran to the left as fast as I could, glad I wore my vans instead of high-flats today.My purse is the only thing that made sense,why would I be in the middle of nowhere, instead of the train? why was I running to, when I should of just stayed put and yelled for help! I peeked behind me.A tiger, fox, loin, and ... a peacock? The 4 chased me down where ever I went.Left, right, up down. Until I tripped on a rock, and fell into a pile of stones. They circled me, seagulls on a piece of bread.Tears streamed down my face.I'm only 14 and I die!? my muddy-brown eyes clouded, and bottom lip quivered.The Four stopped, and sat down.They slowly melted into ... men?!
