The Journey begins
BPOV (Bella)
The weather hadn't improved one bit since yesterday, by the looks of it, it was getting even worse. Mum and Dad's room was next to another tree around the back of the house, I pulled on my rain coat and a pair of all stars and headed out the door. As soon as I turned the knob of the door it immediately was pushed open by the hurricane like winds. Twigs and mud blew through the door and into the hallway, I pulled with all my might as I tried to close the door behind me, where ever I go the storm seems to go with me. When the door finally clicked into place I sighed with release as I let go of the door knob.
The winds that rustled the trees above were whistling all around me, I could only hear the deafening roaring of the trees protesting against the grave winds. I looked over to the neighbours' house and saw their laundry nearly flying off the line. I noticed the direction the wind was going, it was headed in my direction and I was standing to the side of our house. I could have sworn the wind was blowing at the front of the house since it was stopping me from closing the door before. I walked back out to the front of the house and looked to the neighbours' yard on our other side. They had many toy windmills in their yard and I noticed the wind had change yet again and it was headed in the complete opposite direction. Although I could still feel the wind coming from the other side, I glanced back and forth between each house and noticed that the wind was blowing towards me in both directions. This was extremely irregular and I have never seen anything like it before.
I looked to the house directly across the street from my own and noticed the trees in their front lawn were nearly being ripped from the grown as they were being pulled towards me. I turned around slowly again and again and noticed the wind was coming towards me in every direction, by this time I had been standing outside for about five minutes and it had become even darker and gloomy, the clouds were such a dark grey they seemed just about black, lightning lit up the sky every now and I knew it was now or never to go and see what I could snoop out in her room. I made my way around to the back of the house and it felt as if I took the wind with me. I made my way over to the tree outside mum and dad's room; I glanced up at my old cubby house and tested the ladder to see if it was still intact, it didn't budge from where it was nailed to the tree so I began my ascent up the tree.
I managed to pull myself up to the secure and safe cubby house. It was old and was falling apart from disuse; I felt the floor creak under my every step as I made my way over to the side closest to the house. I crawled out onto a tree branch that lead out to the window; the force of the wind felt like it nearly had me airborne. I gripped the thick, sturdy branch tighter to me as the winds somehow picked up, it didn't seem possible but the wind got heavier and heavier. I reached out to a small stump that was sticking out from the branch I was lying on to pull myself closer to the window. Once I got a good grip around the stump I began to pull myself over the splintering wood. Water dripped from my now drenched face, hair and clothes, I reached out for another stump extending itself from the branch. I got hold of it and attempted to pull myself slightly closer, I was about a metre (approximately three feet) away from the window now and I was determined to get there. As soon as I commenced pulling on the stump it snapped right off the branch and I nearly lost my balance. I wrapped my arms and legs around the tree and closed my eyes; once again the wind began to blow harder and harder.
I reached out both hands and gripped the branch I was on. Pulling myself along the branch I pushed my legs back to help as I managed to slowly move forward. I got closer and closer to the window and I reached out to grab the frame, only a few more centre meters and I would be there. I pushed further towards the window and slapped my hand down as soon as I was capable of reaching it. I let out a small laugh of triumph and a huge smile spread across my face, I reached out with my other hand and grabbed the window pulling myself closer in order to pull open the window. I got hold of the glass and attempted to push it up, my hands slipped and slid up the glass due to the rain. I huffed and placed my hands under the wood of the window I pulled upwards but it didn't budge. My smile of triumph disappeared as I tried to pull open the window once more. She locked it! Why would she lock her window? She is definitely up to something and I am going to find out what it is and soon. I let out an irritated groan and hit the window with my hand, a small crack appeared in the glass and I cried out in shock.
I twisted in my seat on the branch and suddenly I fell from the branch and began to fall back to the ground. I looked down as I fell and it looked as if it were travelling in slow motion. I shot out my arms and legs and landed in a crouch on the ground, I gasped at my actions and fell back into the mud. How did I do that? I swear I was falling head first to the ground and the next second I am twisting and landing as if it were as simple as moving a finger. I got up and headed back to the front of the house to dry off; I reached out to the knob and twisted it. It stopped twisting half way and the door didn't open, I tried again but the door didn't budge. I let out another irritated groan and I snuggled in to my rain coat to keep warm as the temperature continually dropped drastically.
I saw something large and black move out of the corner of my eye and I wiped my head over just in time to see the large blur of black move into the forest. I leaned over the porch rail and stared into the forest behind our house. I ran down the stairs and towards the forest as I saw that it was still there, as I closed in on it, it moved away and further into the forest. I didn't know what I was looking for or why I was following it, the roar of the trees above became even louder but the wind hadn't changed. Everything suddenly became clearer and I could hear everything, I collapsed to the ground and covered my ears trying to block out some of the thunderous sound roaring around me.
Suddenly giant paws appeared in front of me, I didn't look up at the animal because suddenly a murderous pain began to burn through me and my bones began to shift under my skin. I felt as if acid was being poured over me and my bones were all being dislocated one by one. The pain took over and I screamed out a scream of bloody murder that was heard even above the deafening roar of the storm.
