DISCLAIMER:- This story belong to me and only me
After spending the night buried under blankets, they awoke to an icy world. It was me who awoke first. I pondered whether I should leave the tent to see the world again. It had been a long past few weeks, which had scared everyone and brought havoc with it. I sat wondering if I should muster up her courage and leave. Slowly, I arose and tiptoed out of the tent.
I stood outside the tent awestruck with the beauty she saw. I could only see snow. By this time, my family had also awoken. One by one all the people started to come out of their tents. They all started finding food or anything that they could eat. I along with my Lucas and James, the twins as I call them, went to find some wood, which we could burn. I being the elder of them walked ahead. I heard them speak in whispers about the previous few weeks' incidents. They spoke about the hurricane, which had hit the US and left it in a state of anguish.
As I walked, I remembered the sight I saw in the morning. Reviewing the morning, I realized that the people were in a state of flux. One moment they would be calm and composed and the next panicked and crying. Many of them had lost hope. Many prayed to God for guidance. However, every single one of them is scared to the utmost. I would be lying if I said I was not scared too. When we came back to the campsite, we searched for our parents; but they were nowhere to be found. On asking, no one would answer. Out of desperation, unable to stand it anymore Lucas walked up to a man and asked in a stern voice "Where are our parents?"Lucas emphasized on every word to show how serious he was. Finally, someone told us that a huge tree falling had killed our parents. Lucas and James comfort me as I break down. Eventually they gave in to the pain. After all our tears flowed out, James speaks in a soft voice "You need to do something Susan. They need faith and only you can do it!"
His voice was soft yet pleading. I looked into his and I knew he was right. I did have a way with words. I mustered up courage, went to a rock, and stood on it.
"Here we go ", I thought.
Then I began " ahem…ahem…" people turn to look at me.
"hello everyone. In the past few weeks, we have experienced something no one should be a part of. I understand there is fear, anxiety in all our minds. However, we must understand that losing our hope is the worst thing to do. We will be hurting ourselves more that way. We must find our courage and turn about this incident." In a loud and clear voice, I then ask, "so… who's with me?" In unison they all scream, "I am!"
I smiled. I had brought that enthusiasm in their eyes. Soon they would all have a new home, which would be better than the earlier. Standing on the rock, I could see a glimmer of hope in their eyes. I stood on the edge of the rock, beaming with joy. I could not help but smile. I had managed to light that flame in everyone's hearts. That flame that made them want to go and to make a better future. As I got down, many people swarmed around me. The questions came like wildfire about plans of action, my thoughts and so on.
What am I going to do now? I thought the best thing to do was to smile politely. The generally quiet, shy and timid me was supposed to be LEADER! I had only planned to inspire them but they now thought of me as their leader. I could not back out either, as they would completely lose faith. Well then, I guess I am going to be a leader.
Please review. I really want to know if I should continue. I know this was a short chapter but I'll make up for it if u want.
