Sandry walked into the school's storage closet after school, two days
later, to find some straight pins. She was all out and Lark said she could
look for some. The storage closet was pretty big, with every thing
imaginable in it. It had metal poles, wood planks, giant paper clips,
string, crate paper, wire, and lots of other things too.
She started to search through things as the door creaked open. Sandry turned to find Briar walk in.
"Don't shut the door." Sandry said, "It will automatically lock."
"Ok. What are you doing here?" He said pulling one of her braids as he walked by.
"I could ask you the same thing." She shot back.
"I am looking for corn seeds. Ms. Rosethorn said I would find some here."
"This room has everything in it!"
"I can see that. I can also see that you are wearing color. You have been for the past two days and I haven't had the chance to say anything."
He looked her over. She had on jean pants and an orange tee.
"Mourning is over…"
"And…"
"…and…you were right. My parents wouldn't want me this sad."
"I love me."
Sandry threw a pillow at him.
"Wow. This room really does have everything in it." Briar commented throwing the pillow back at her.
She giggled as the door opened yet again to reveal Daja and Tris come in.
"Tris don't shut the door." Sandry said, but it was to late.
The door closed with a satisfying click.
"Great. Now we are locked in!" Briar exclaimed.
"What are you two doing in here anyway?" Sandry asked.
"Mr. Frostpine wanted me to make some metal jewelry for some extra credit and he said I could find metal in here." Daja replied.
"Mr. Goldeye wanted me to make a wind catcher." Tris said.
"Lets try to get out." Briar commented.
"Wait…something is coming…I can feel it." Sandry whispered.
Everybody stopped talking. They all felt something…something big.
Tris was the first to speak, "Earthquake…the roof isn't going to hold! This is an old room! And look at the ceiling; it was poorly made to begin with."
"We need to do something!" Briar yelled.
"We haven't the time!" Daja replied.
"Look! There is a ridge just below the ceiling. If we can find stuff to kind of weave together, we can slide it in the ridge to hold up the ceiling!" Tris said excitedly.
"Here are some solid metal poles." Daja said.
"Here are some wood planks… and some vines made out of rubber." Briar put in.
"Rubber vines?!" Tris asked.
"What? This room has everything in it."
"Here is some insulations foam. Lets start weaving it together.
Sandry stood there, watching her friends work to save their lives, while she was hating her self for being useless. As she watched them, she had an idea.'
"Don't weave it that way! Weave it this way." She said as she started to weave it a different way. "It will be stronger this way."
As they were nearing the end of there weaving, the ground was starting to shake.
"Hurry!" Daja yelled.
They finished in panic and slid it in the ridge. It fit snugly against the ceiling. By this time the ground was shaking violently and the four had to sit on the floor. Briar saw Sandry shaking and went to go comfort her. When he reached her the lights went out and she threw her arms around him, holding him tightly. He put his arms around her in return. Even though they were in very grave danger, Briar half wished this moment would never end. He felt something strange and it wasn't the feeling he had before. It was alien to him, but he liked it.
Tris' screams brought him back to reality. He let go of Sandry and felt around for a flashlight. He knew he had seen one earlier. His hand touched something that resembled a flashlight and shined it at Tris.
"Tris! Look out!!" He yelled.
Tris moved just in time as the shelves started to fall, but no matter where they went, stuff was falling. All four of them ended in the middle of the room, standing up, back to back. The shaking soon caused them all to fall over and stuff began to fall on them. Tris started to scream.
After what seemed like eternity, the shaking slowly stopped. The emergency lights flashed on and the four sat up slowly. They all had cuts and bruises, but they were all alive. They looked up at their creation to find it still intact.
Briar looked down at the stuff that had fallen on him and commented, "I found the corn seeds."
A/N: Wahoo!! I got Sandry's Book done! I couldn't have done it with out Babooshka and LizD, my two biggest fans!! THANK YOU GUYS!!!! On to Tris's book!!
