Chapter 2: The cube
The next day Emily came in to wake Sam up.
"Good morning Samantha, you better get up poppy will be here any minute"
As she left the room Sam gazed at her clock at the opposite end of her room it read 8:58am.
"Damn I'm late"
She rushed out of bed and climbed into her clothes before running down stair's for breakfast.
"Will you be wanting jam with your toast Samantha" asked Mr Stewart, the servant of the house.
Sam shook her head as she tore of a piece of bread and munched it loudly, chewing carefully so she won't bite her tongue. The doorbell rang so loud that the table began to vibrate.
"Welcome Miss Poppy, Sam is just finishing her breakfast in the dining room" greeted Emily
Poppy just smiled and ran to see Sam tucking in her chair.
"You ready then or do you need more time seeing as you got up late?" said poppy sarcastically.
Sam just giggled and nodded her head before grabbing her jacket from Mr Stewart and walked out the door with Poppy.
"What are we going to do when we get to big oak pop? It's not exactly the place you stay at for a whole day" laughed Sam
Both friends were walking to the nearby woods on the other side of the Town where they always hung out. While walking down the street Sam spotted Matthew Gibson walking out of his house ahead, as they slowly walked past Sam blushed while gazing at him. Poppy looked at Sam and started to Laugh.
"What's so funny pop?"
"You're in love that's what, I'm sorry it's just….. Well never mind"
For the rest of the journey up to the border of the woods Sam felt embarrassed but it wasn't a bad thing, she just had a crush.
"Hey Sammy I'll race you to big oak" winked poppy
"You're on, one…..two….THREE" yelled Sam
Both of them ran through the trees not looking back or at each other, it seemed like a never ending corridor with all the tree's but they knew where they were going. Sam and Poppy saw the big oak tree that stood in the middle of the woods; no one goes in as far as they do. They were still running jumping over tree stumps and dodging trees they weren't going to give up so easily as the finish was getting closer and closer.
Suddenly Sam tripped and fell crash landing on to the ground, Poppy didn't notice though so she carried on running to the oak tree. As soon as she was there she realized Sam had disappeared.
"SAM! HEY SAM WHERE ARE YOU?" yelled Poppy
There was no reply and Poppy was getting scared of where her best friend could be.
"Ouch! My knee" complained Sam
She was confused and out of breath, it didn't make sense there wasn't any stumps around. Sam turned around and saw bump in the ground, she must have tripped over it. She started digging down, the dirt grabbing on to her skin and sticking. Her hand hit a metal object, which suddenly shot a beam of light in to the sky.
"What's going on" asked Sam
Poppy saw the light and ran towards it hoping to find Sam there.
"Sam is that you?"
Sam heard her friend coming towards her so in a hurry she picked the object up and put it in her pocket. As soon as she touched it the light faded. Poppy rummaged through the bushes to find Sam sitting on the floor.
"Samantha I'm glad I found you, don't scar me again" protested Poppy
"Sorry Pop's guess this means you win then" laughed Sam
As poppy helped Sam up she said nothing about the light which made Sam wonder about whether she had seen it or not. When they got to big oak they both started talking about Matt. Sam wondered about the object in her pocket, as she began to fiddle with it she worked out that it had the shape of a cube. It was pretty unusual to find a cube in the middle of nowhere. It was very unusual how it shot a beam of light into the sky like it was getting someone's attention but that didn't make any sense to Sam all she could do was wait until she was home to take a good look at it. Slowly the pain in her knee and leg faded away and Sam decided not to tell Poppy about her find it would be a secret for Sam to have and keep for as long as she wanted to.
