Lord of Destiny C2

chapter 2

The rising sun started to wake the sleepy town of May Cliffs. It was a fairly new town, only a hundred years old compared to the older towns nearby. There are a few shops and a primary school, however the older children have to take a half an hour bus to the neighbouring town. All the 17 and under hated May Cliff for there was never anything to do, only if you had a car to drive out of it. Ashley couldn’t wait until she was 17. She felt that she just didn’t belong in the small quite town next to the sea. She was lying on her bed for she had waked at sun rise and just couldn’t get back to sleep. It was like someone ringing a bell in her ear, now she just couldn’t sleep and instead just let her mind wonder.Last week had been the weirdest week ever, for Ashley had nearly died. They had told her that if she wasn’t so quick she would have been hit by the stolen car. However that wasn’t what worried her; she saw it happening right in front of her eyes. She had been sitting in English, worrying about when it would be her turn to read from the book, when the whiteboard started to fade out and be replaced with the road out front of school. The school buses were all line up with children of all ages getting on. Ashley blink many times but still the vision remained, she also turned to look at her friends but they couldn’t see what she was seeing. She looked back, shocked at seeing now herself walking across the grass, brought her full attention on to it now. She was walking closer to the buses seeing were it was; it was across the road. She step into the road and-‘Ashley! It is your turn to read now,’ the English teacher wasn’t the only one to be looking at her now. She looked back at the board; there was nothing there. It was at that point that she couldn’t remember what she was seeing, and started to read from the book.It wasn’t till she was crossing the road, later that day, did she remember what she had saw and forces herself to fall back on to the curb, just in time before the car came flying by and crashing into the wall at the end of the road. He died instantly they said and told her that she was very lucky. They kept asking her how she moved so quickly but she knew better than to tell them the truth. It was surely a weird week. ‘Beee! Beee!’ Ashley jump from hearing her alarm clock and got out of bed to get ready for school.
