From Tiea to Terrum
Tiea's View
I looked over at my best friend Erica as we sat on my bed, reading our chosen books. Erica has black hair and dark brown eyes, with a face most guys get captivated in. She looked up at me, as if sensing my gaze at her back. " What's up?" She asked. " Oh nothing, I was just daydreaming again." I replied and she turned back to her book.
I looked at the cover of the book, she was reading The Choice part of the Daughters of the Moon series, by Lynne Ewing. It was a good book, I had read it before it was about Jimena the daughter that had the power to see into the future. I turned back to my own book, Origins part of the Sweep series, by Cate Tiernan. I was at the part where Rose meets Diarmuid and they kiss for the first time. I flipped to the next page, when I heard a scream. I rushed out of the room and ran downstairs to see what it was about. I ran into the kitchen to find my mother in convulsions on the floor. Right after me Erica came in and screamed. I grabbed the phone and dialed 911.
About thirty minutes later my mother was being taken away to the hospital by an ambulance. I turned to Erica, whose mother had arrived and had agreed to let me stay with them for a while. " I just need to get some stuff." I said in between sobs. " Okay sweetie, Hurry we need to get down there to see what happened." I ran upstairs and packed some clothes, books, CDs, and toiletries. When I came back downstairs there was a young man talking with Erica's mother. I approached them slowly, it looked as if they were arguing. " I'm ready." I told her. "Oh, Tiea I didn't see you come out, this is my nephew Aaron." She introduced us. " It's nice to meet you Aaron." I said to him. " The pleasure is all mine." He replied. I turned back to Erica's mother. " Are we leaving now?" I asked. " Yes, lets go everyone." She said as we headed for the mini van. I got in and sat between Erica and Aaron. I fell asleep as we drove off toward the hospital.
