Dreams of Terabithia
I watched her run across the fields and into the forest. She seemed to have
wings on her feet. I followed as quickly as I could, eager to discover the
where-abouts of her secret place. I darted through the trees, bushes, flowers,
and shrubs. Sunshine streamed in through the sky.
I caught a glimpse of her disappering into an opening. I sped up, and
stumbled upon a large fallen tree. I climbed on,grabbing the upper branches
for support. As I made my way carefully along, I listened for signs for her.
At the end, down below, was a creek, rushing and swirling with water.
There she was at the edge, clutching a large rope.
I jumped off, slipped a little, and hid behind a bush. I poked my head out.
All of a sudden, the trees began to shake, the wind picked up, and an icy
chill filled the air. Fear stabbed my heart. She didn't notice it.
A dark and ghostly figure suddenly emerged from nowhere, gliding towards
her.
I cried out, warning her. She turned around and saw me stumbling towards
her.
She smiled and waggled her fingers at me.
Before I could do anything, she jumped off.
She was half-way across the enbankment when it happend. The dark figure
raised it's dirt-streaked fingers, a white light flashed, and it struck the
rope.
She screamed a skin-curling yell and fell backwards into the raging waters
below. It was several minutes before she re-surfaced.
'HELP ME!' she screamed franticly, choking for air. I tried to, but he
blasted me backwards and cast an invisible barrier between us. I felt
powerless. I watched helpessly as she drowned.
The last thing i saw before waking up, was her floating face down, the waters
swirling with blood. And the dark figure laughing, celebrating her
death.........
