Written for the October Event: Survive a Horror Movie
task: write a story that includes a flying car.
This was turning to be one of my worst days. I think it bested the day I found out I was a squib, the first squib in the family! Why?
It was starting to snow and I had two more hours until I reached grandma's house.
And my car, I don't think it will resist if the snow continues. And I forgot that thanks to my idiotic brother, who likes to drive MY car, I don't have full gas either. And I didn't fill up , thinking that it will be enough until the gas station from my grandma's town.
I hated that I moved so far away, both from my parents and grandparents, but I just couldn't remain home or… Being the only squib in the family, adding that I was the first on my father's side, hadn't been easy. My family had always been supportive and they never made me feel unwelcome, but my future wasn't really in the wizarding world. Ever since I was a kid I enjoyed muggle science, I loved hearing grandma telling me about her school days, before she discovered she was a witch. And at school, I was so ahead of my fellow classmates to the point I was moved forward few classes. The intelligence runs in the family, what can I say.
So when the chance arrived I moved out . I live in London, near Hyde Park. I am working as lab assistant at Scotland Yard. I really like my work. But I hadn't visited my grandma in a long time, spoken at the phone yes, but it is not the same like when you're having the person in front of you.
And now, getting back the current situation. I could see over the hill, some kind of motel, but I didn't want to stop. I didn't like gas I had was enough until I reached the town line, from there Grandpa could help me. But the main problem was getting there in the first place.
I barely could see two metres in front of the car, it seems that will have snow for Christm…
Suddenly I heard a terrible noise, and I felt the car being pushed to the side. And just as suddenly I was in a flying car. I felt myself in the air, the left side of the car being completely destroyed, I could see the sky and if I wouldn't be so frightened, I would actually enjoy being in " a flying car", but if said flying car wouldn't be flying thanks to some stupid driver. It didn't last long, but it was enough to make me see my whole life playing before my eyes. But I wasn't afraid, I only was sorry that I hadn't got to see my parents first. And that I hadn't asked my brother to come with me. Daughter of two gryffindors, what else could you expect?!
And when you think that when I was a kid I always wanted to have a flying car. And now I had. Though, if it wouldn't be half destroyed ,…
But my so called " flying car " hadn't lasted long. Only in my head had lasted a life time, my life time; in reality I had "flied" for less then a minute.
And I was on Earth again, at least that's what I told myself, just before the darkness took me.
…
I woke up to the paramedics arguing with my about a flyi... MY grandfather?! I was suddenly feeling better. Actually I was in a perfect state. What he was doing here? And most important how did he found out that I had an accident? And how did he get here so quickly? I was still on the road, not even in ambulance yet, so the "flying car" had happened just minutes before. How had he found out?! I hope he hadn't called my parents. I tried to sit up, and to my surprise I could. I thought that I would be more hurt, but it seems that I wasn't that bad injured.
Now I just had to deal with my grandfather. We'll see if I survive this.
