7- The Trip- Dan
I was so relieved. But I was sad. I wish that Grace's death were a nightmare too. I wondered if the hunt would be true. But it wouldn't be. I thought about why Great Aunt Beatrice screamed so much when I asked if I could go as a ninja. I knew I wouldn't be allowed, just not with such a reaction. Then my mind drifted to the nightmare that I had just woken up out of. The rock hitting Amy. The Houses falling down. The Many deaths throughout. The Message in the sky. And last but not least, Mr McIntyre. He was the basic Devil. He could even be real. But as I said for the hunt, it's unlikely. The journey felt like a 7-hour journey, and we hadn't even arrived yet. Amy was staring at me like I was acting really strangely, but every now and then checking back at her book. Great Aunt Beatrice even asked what was wrong. I simply said nothing, and went back to my nightmare. I thought about this Mr McIntyre. For some reason, I questioned myself to if he was real or not. All I really wanted was the likely thing. That he would not be real. Amy looked up at me. "Are you sure your alright, your awfully quiet." Amy said.
"Like I said to Great Aunt Beatrice, I'm fine, but thanks." I lied. Amy noticed, but she didn't say anything. She probably thought it was because of Grace, which was partly true. I went back for the third time and tried desperately not to. Luckily, Amy leaned over to whisper something to me. "What's the matter? I have a feeling it's not just about Grace. Please tell me." Amy whispered it so gently that I just heard what she had said.
"Fine, I had a really weird nightmare, and it all started at Grace's funeral." I whispered.
"Oh, well then, there's nothing to worry about. It was just a nightmare you'll be fine. Now all that's left is Grace. Remember, It's fine to be sad about Grace, but don't let your nightmare pile on more sadness." Amy Said, Reassuringly. But then, wouldn't you know it, I went back! But this time, I fought hard to get out. I changed the whole story, but I didn't manage to accept the hunt. I don't know why. But everything else was different. Like all the deaths. The ending too. I was a lot more satisfied.
