The mountains look beautiful under the sky. All I see is the ocean in the distance. On the mountain there are trees, in the water there are boats coming back to shore. I was feeling the hot summer sun on my back as I tanned.

I'm Lydia and I live in a house with my best friend Allison. we have a cat called Carrot, we call her that because she is orange and we dyed her fur green for Christmas. We live really close to the shore and every night we go to sleep while listening to the waves crash. Last night we heard foot steps coming from the padeo and it sounded like someone was breaking in.  

Allison and I were pretty frightened so we went down stairs to see what is happening, but before we reached the end off the stairs we see a tall man dressed in black trying to break in to our house. Allison runs up the stairs to call the police and I figure out a way to defend myself. Allison runs back and says the police are about 5 minutes away. As she was saying that the tall man dressed in black opens the door and invites himself into our house.

As he walked in our house the police show up. The tall man in black heard the sirens and tried to run out the door he came from, the police caught him and arrested him. They started questioning him and asked why he was trying to break in. He was not responding so the police took him to the station and we could happily go to sleep.  

Have a good day! :)
