	The next few weeks flew by so fast you would have thought time travel was possible. Jude did the carpets and tiled the bathroom and a few places in the kitchen. Dad and Jude worked on the roof and the basement. Jude was extra careful on the basement because we lived in tornado alley. Together, Jude and I, we put on the double doors leading into the master bedroom and the front double doors. Before I knew it school was over and I was leaving home. I was going to be so bored all alone with a dragon. Great!

“Faith, Don’t leave me.” whined Harmony, like always she cared more about herself

“You’re the best sister ever, Faith.” cried Melody, now I started getting teary eyed but I couldn’t say anything, if I did I would start nonstop crying.

Matt was a little stronger than my sisters were. But was still was pretty worried. About my chores. “Faith, if you leave who’s gonna do your chores?”

Mom spoke up and said “Mathew, Melody and Harmony aren’t old enough to take care of Faiths’ chores, so you’re going to have to.”

“Mom, actually I was planning on taking Peace, so Matt won’t have to take care of them.”

“Okay Hun, Peace, was always your dog, but what about Courage and Chrysanthemum and Love.”

“Let the girls keep the cat, Courage has always disliked me, and I think it would be a good be a good chore for Matt to milk the cow. I was his age when I started milking Chrys. And Love is my horse.”

“But I don’t wanna milk Chrys. She hates me!” Mathew exclaimed.

“MOM!” I had to yell over Matt’s screaming.  “I’m going to miss you.”

She hugged and kissed me and told me she loved me. “Let’s go outside.” she said.

“Hold on, I have to get my bags and pack up Peaces’ things.” I walked out of moms’ room and walked down the hall to my room. I walked into the room I had shared with Jude and I thought about the time we had to decide on a color for our room and we both liked blue, so it seemed like it was going to be an easy task. However, I liked a vibrant almost white blue and Jude had spotted a sapphire blue. We fought for a while and then we both agreed to pick a color somewhere in the middle. It was a turquoise color and it looked a little girly but Jude was okay with it. I think it was because he never like to fight which made it really ironic when he was drafted first for war.

After Jude left for the war, Luke, my baby brother, moved into the room. I guess now Jude was moving back in. I walked up to Lukes’ crib and picked him up. He was awake from all the commotion. He reminded me so much of Jude and how much I had missed him. I kissed Lukes’ forehead and set him gently into the crib. He watched me as I got the rest of my stuff and Peaces’ things packed. I finished and walked up to Luke again I kissed him forehead once more, picked up a little toy I made him when he was born and placed it into the crib with him. I picked up my bags and left our room.

When I got to the front door I set down my things and opened the door. I walked down the porch to the barn. I walked in and up to Chrys. I patted her, thinking about all the times she had kicked me when I had pulled to hard on her udders. Poor Matt, if I had this trouble I knew he would too. I left and called for Love. I said my final goodbyes. I hugged everyone and told them the directions to the new house, my new phone number, and when they could come over, so I could have time to hide Shadow. After mom giving me wet shoulder and me giving Jude a wet shoulder, I grabbed my bags and left with Peace following right behind us. When I got to my new home, I unpacked all of our things. That’s when disaster struck.

Sooo sorry this one is short
