101 Days of Pure Awesomeness: by Samantha Goodyear. Chapter one.

My name is Jenna. I don't remember my last name, partly because when I was 8, I didn't really care what my last name was. I barely remember the last time I was the real Jenna, a 21st century 8-year-old girl. Every morning I wake up in a new place with new friends, and I look very different. But one thing stays the same: I am always red-haired and brown-eyed. Sometimes my red hair is actually red fur, sometimes my eyes are those of a cat's or even an alien's (if alien's have eyes...). This all started one day when I was having a bad day. My best friend Kirsten didn't want to be my friend anymore, my parents were fighting, and I couldn't have my favourite desert in the whole wide world after dinner (which was yummy chocolate cake). I got so angry I left. I just left. Packed an extra change of clothes and went outside. I didn't know where I was going, or I where I was supposed to be, I was just going. Finally I came to an old, dark, run-down building. Most 8-year-old girls would be scared to death of this place, but I was brave. I made run for the door and went inside. I remember an old lady lining there. She asked me who I was and I told her. "Jenna! Want to be my friend?" I had asked her. She nodded. She asked if I was having a bad day and I told her all about it. Then she asked if I wanted to having an amazing adventure and never come back to normal life again. I thought for a moment and then nodded my head. Now here, I am, living a lonely adventure.

This morning I woke up in a dusty cave, surrounded by kids that looked my age, dressed in heavy armor. One of the boys opened his eyes and stared at me for a long time. "You must be the new night guard," the boy said. I nodded hesitantly. He smiled. He had curly brown hair, dark skin, and brown eyes. He led me into a deeper part of the cave and stopped at a ginormous pink and orange polka-dotted dragon.
"That's Mishu," said the boy.
"Oh. Wow, do we guard him?" I asked, staring up at the huge beast.
"You must be from far away. He is King Mishu, our village king. I am Dottru, I will be your guide to the village."
