After,each contestant got elminated it was just her and winslow,one on one. Winslow did a peotry,then Lena. After,both of them did a peotry the judges announced who was the winner. The winner was Lena,all Lena got was a ribbon for a boy. When they got home Lena found a butcher knife in her bread that she made,when she saw it she felt scared. Her dad said that somebody must of come. Lena said that it was a sign that we need to move or they will kill us. Lena's stepmom said just go to sleep and I will take care of this. The next day Lena's dad said that he has to go to work. Lena said that she doesn't want him to go far and build fences. Her dad saids that he has to or he will get killed. Lena said ok so he told her that he will be back in a few days. Few days passed, no sign of him. 3 days passed and still no sign of him. Lena felt worried so shr told her siblings that she will go out on her on to find her father. It was a long walk for her so she stops and rests for awhile then starts walking again. After she walked she found her dad laying down hurt. She ran to him and asked waht happen. He said that he got in a fight with the neighbors. One of the neighbors had a gun and shot him in the knee. Lena found the boy hurt as well. Lena's dad said to take him and make sure he is ok. Lena doesn't want to leave her dad behind so she took both of them in a wagon and drove the wagon. She tried her best to drive the wagon and take care of the two guys. Her dad said that he can't make it,but Lena said no don't go. Next when they got home her stepmom was wondering where she was all along.
