Chapter 4: Nightmare

It was the darkest day Ashlynn had ever seen. The sky was dark green. Hail fell from the sky. She had been in the fields while Nate (Bessy's nephew) and clone Otis and Abby (from Little Otis) were trying to get everyone underground before a twister struck. But then, while it already seemed scary enough, the twister dropped near Ashlynn. She jumped in a light blue 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT. She tried to start the engine but after so long, it became too late. The twister picked up the car higher than a County Fair Ferris Wheel and slammed it against the ground making it explode.

But then, she sat up in bed.

"Bessy!" Ashlynn cried and turned on the lamp on the stand by the bed.

Bessy rolled over and saw Ashlynn crying, so she got up on the bed to talk to her and try to comfort her.

"Honey, what's a matter?" asked Bessy.

"There was a tornado!" cried Ashlynn and leaned against Bessy's shoulder. "It killed me!" she cried.

"Listen, cousin Bessy is not going to let anything happen to you." said Bessy. "If you stay close to here or whatever barn you're at when this happens and it'll be okay."

Ashlynn often had nightmares. It was always something she was terrified of too. Bessy felt bad that she wasn't there for her at times.
