My Hero's Journey

One day a 10 year old girl named Carly was in her grandma's house. Carly was looking for a book to read when she came across a family album. Right as she took it off the shelf a picture came tumbling out. She stared at it for a while. It was a picture she had never seen and was very curious of how the babies in the picture were of. They were with a mom and a dad that looked like her parents and she suspected that one of the babies could be her, which just happened to be the cute one. On the other hand the other one was a little odd looking. Carly went to ask her grandma who this picture was of. When her grandma saw the picture Carly could see her eyes watering up and though this is not good. Her grandma told Carly to sit down and then spilled the whole story out. It turned out that when Carly was born so was her twin sister named Eliana. At birth Eliana had brain problems, had six fingers on one hand, and would never be the same as other children. It was just to much for Carly's parents to handle so they had gave her away to the adoption center for children with illnesses. Carly had always wanted a sister and had a plan to go find Eliana. She was about to just stomp right out of the house and begin looking but decided she better find some more out. She though she might also regret it. That night at dinner Carly asked her parents about Eliana. Her parents were mad at the grandma and only told her little. She was a little scared to go on this journey but decided it was worth a try. She set of the next week.
Her first challenge was the Carly had no idea were to go and how to get there. She had brought a back pack with food, water, a phone, money, a map and the picture. Carly's parents were not excited about her journey and tried to hold her back, but Carly was determined. Although deeply inside Carly was going to miss her parents and especially her grandma even thought her grandma was proud of her for going on this quest and encouraged it. Carly felt that this was truly her task. 


Well anyways Carly walked to the closest train station and got on. The people that worked on the train wondered about her being alone but she convinced to let her get on. She thought that a lot of people would ask her that same question, so on the train she thought of what she would say. On the train the man sitting next to her started up a conversation. at first she thought he was mean and scary but then realized that he was actually quiet nice. She reluctantly told him her story. To Carly's surprise he actually gave her some advice. He told her that the closest adoption center for children with illnesses was around 450 miles away. She was just about to start questioning him when he said he had to go and got off the train. 


Carly had found out exactly where this adoption center was and had been traveling for about two weeks when she saw the man again. She slowly approached him and started to talk to him. From the conversation with him she kind of figured out that he might know something more than he had revealed. 


After that she got on the bus at a bus stop and rode that for the entire rest of the day, that night and until ten o'clock the next day. She got off the bus and realizes that it is a creepy town in the middle of no where. This place looks like it could be some place from the past or maybe in the future. Carly is creeped out. She runs and runs and runs and finally sees s sign with the name of the town that could possibly have the adoption center. Carly is relived, but now she has to go find the adoption center. To Carly's surprise she was having really good luck and their it was right before her eyes, she just hoped this was not an elusion!


She went right in and headed straight for the play room, but the security stopped her and asked her what she was doing. She told her that she was looking for her sister Eliana. The lady at the front desk said that she was adopted three years ago. If Carly could answer a few questions they would tell her what family adopted her and how she could reach them. Luckily she could. She thanked them and then headed for the address the lady had given her.


After a little walk Carly finally reached 3481 West Cheyenne Boulevard. She proudly rang the door bell and then the door opened. A lady answered the door and told her she did not want solicitors but then Cary told her about her journey. The lady thought for a few minutes and then started asking her question. She told her to go away but in the end Carly convinced her. Well actually that is not not exactly how it went, actually a girl came to a door and started hugging Carly. As you might be able to tell that girl was Eliana. Carly thought that it just might be an accident and that she jut hugged people, but actually Eliana new because she had a picture that she looked at every night.


That night Carly stayed with Eliana's family. Eliana was a little different but Carly did not care. Right away they found love in each other. They were meant for each other, well they were twins. Eliana's dad said he would drive them home so he could meet her birth family and make an agreement. They decided that they should go to the grandmas house because she was the one who really cared. They decided that Carly, Eliana and Eliana's dad would stay with the grandma that night and then go the next day to meet the parents.  The next morning when Carly woke up she was excited her journey was over, but then realized that Eliana was not in her bed. Carly told her grandma who told Eliana's dad, he said that she loves to run and often goes missing but comes home, sometimes not for 24 hours but sometimes sooner. Well Carly really wanted to see Eliana so Carly and her grandma went looking. Carly was so sad and realized that she is a person who is caring and loving. 


Two hours later Eliana came home and the two families decided that Eliana would go back and forth from the two families every two weeks. They lived happily ever after.
