Day 11 (Creative Writing) - An adventure

I have to admit, I am a very boring person, and I usually don't have many adventures to talk about. Specially good ones. As I write this I am trying to think of a good adventure to talk about, but since nothing seems to came to mind, I will just create one.

The clock strikes 2, it is two in the morning and I can't close my eyes. What is going on? I can usually fall asleep in the blink of an eye, but not today. I have no idea what is going on, I decide to walk for a bit, maybe go outside and walk around, I am sure everything will be okay, this is a pretty nice and quiet neighborhood, so I think I am good. My parents won't mind, I am sure, plus I'll be back before they even suspect that I am not there. I get off my bed and walk towards my door, I will be passing by my parents door, but they have a heavy sleep, they won't hear a thing, then I can go by the kitchen and grab a quick snack, just in case. When I get to the kitchen I find that someone left the refrigerator open, hmmm, I don't think someone did that... I discard the fact and continue with my little journey. I walk out the back door and soon I find myself in the front yard, funny, my dad's car is not there.... He must have left earlier tonight and that is why the fridge was open. Oh well, I am sure he has his excuse. I just hope that he left and is not coming back anytime soon because then he would catch me, and that would be the end of my little trip. I start walking down the lit street. The street lights give so much light, who could have known. For a minute I stop and stare at one of the lights. So intriguing..... Okay, wait, continue, don't get captivated by that....

I let go of the vision of the light and continue to walk, down the street. It is filled with many trees, I didn't know there was so many. Who could have know? Maybe I should take these walks more often. I walk for around 15 minutes, maybe I walked a couple of blocks, hmm, I start wondering if it was longer than fifteen minutes because I no longer find everything familiar. I had never seen this before, and I remember that my street ends at the end of my block... It just does and it doesn't go anywhere, I would have found myself locked and would have had to return, it would have taken me less than 10 minutes.... Where am I then? I start freaking out and decide that my best choice is to return the way I came from, yes I will be back home before I know it. As I walk back I find that the street lights don't look as captivating as they did before, I try to look at one of them, but my eyes turn away, I am not doing that. For some reason I feel that looking at the lights will help.
"You shouldn't have looked in the first place, honey," I hear a very familiar voice and turn around to find my dad.
"Oh, hi...... hi dad," I say very nervously, I guess I won't be doing this again anytime soon.
"What are you doing out so late? Shouldn't you be in bed?" he asks as if nothing is wrong, he asks like if I am not in trouble, "Little girl next time you want to follow me let me know, and I'll take you,"
I start feeling confused, but the idea is present, my dad thinks I was following him. "Ummm... I got lost,"
"Yes I can tell........" he says, "come here and look at this. He extends his hand and I find a watch, one of those golden ones, and it catches my attention completely. Before I know it the watch starts shining. It is just as captivating as the street light.When the light fades away I find myself in front of my house and my dad is no where to be seen. I walk in through the front door, it won't matter if someone hears me now. My dad already knows. I walk up the stairs and into my room, I take one look at my clock and before I know it I am drifting asleep with the image of the clock marking 2:02 am.........
