My sister's phone rang. She answered it. When she said "bye" she told me "Your old foster parents told me they don't want you anymore."

"Great, I don't like them," I replied.

"Well, since you're not safe here, I'll have to call the foster care place."

"Why can't I stay here?"

"Olivia, you're not safe here."

"But, Kate, what if they're mean?"

"I'll make sure they're not."

"Fine."

Later that night, Katie called foster care. They said they will call around to find a good place for me. That night all I could think of was leaving and not having Katie in my life. When I fell asleep I dreampt of being sent to a mean place where I had to clean a lot and didn't get fed.

When I woke up I went downstairs. I found a note that said, "Hey! I went to Wal-Mart to get food. Be back in a few. Love, Katie."

"Wow, now I'm all alone." I whisper to myself.

While she's gone I decide to take a look around the house.

I go upstairs and see her room. It's full of art, books, and a beautiful painting of a garden. In the middle is a red bed. And the wall's tomato red. I go to the book case by her bed. A book labeled painting caught my eye. I reached for the book and pulled. BAM!

I walk in a whole new room. I looked for a door, that there wasn't one. All the walls were gray.

What! To my left was a slide like the one at playgrounds. I walked over and sat down on the slide, and went down.

At the bottom was another stupid gray wall room. But this one had a little tunnel. I got on my knees and started crawling down the tunnel.

At the end was another gray room.

In this one was another gray room. In this one there were ten yellow doors, numbered one through ten. I went to 8 and opened it. I walked in. BANG!

The door closed behind me. Then locked.

The end of book 3.
