Sophia´s point of view

"BOOM" the sound of thunder reached my ears. It was really close. But I still didn´t care about it. Until I saw, that one of the trees was on fire.

"MIKE" I ran towards the house. "Mike, one of the trees is on fire." I saw the door open and close, and Mike came running.

"Sophia" he shouted.

"Mike, one of the trees is one fire." I shouted. But he didn´t seem to hear me, strange! I stood in front of him. And then, something really weird happened. He ran right through me, and kept on running towards the part of the garden, were I had been dribbling with the football.

"Oh dear, oh god, oh god." I whispered, before running after Mike.

"Sophia, are you ok?" he shouted, and ran around the corner. Where he stopped, for one second. So I had the time to catch up, and then I saw, what he saw. My body, my own body, laid motionless on the ground. Mike stormed to me, or was it me, I stood behind him.

I looked up a little, and then I saw a light. It was so bright, and in the middle of it, someone was standing.

"Sophie," I whispered. "Sophie?" The person, stepped out a bit of the light, and then I could see that it really was Sophie.

"Sophie what´s going on?" I asked. "Sophie… am I dead?"

"Yes." She said. "But not for long."

"What do you mean not for long?"

"It´s not your time… not yet."

I felt like I was pulled backwards, and I could see Sophie turn around and walk into the light again.

"NO SOPHIE" I shouted. "Please let me come with you. Please, please." Then it all went all black. I don´t know for how long it took, before I coughed and breathed in deeply, before opening my eyes.

"I saw Sophie." Was the first thing I said. "I saw Sophie." I could hear the sound of someone standing up behind me. And Mike leaned over the back of the sofa I laid in.

"Good morning." He said. "How you´re feeling?"

"You scared the hell out of us." I turned my head a little, and saw that everyone else from The dumping ground stood in front of the sofa. Stan was the one who had been talking.

"I saw Sophie." I said once again, and tried to sit up. But Mike put his hand on my shoulder, and forced me to lay down again.

"Lay still," he said. "Gina´s calling an ambulance and you´re not moving until it gets here."

"I saw Sophie." I said again.

"What?" Tee asked. "Who´s Sophie?"

"She told me I was dead, but that it wasn´t my time yet."

"Scary." Joe whispered.

"Mhm." Stan agreed.

"The ambulance is on its way." Gina came into the lounge. I could hear another boom from thunder outside, but it wasn´t as close this time. Then something flashed before eyes, and it started to come back to me.

I dribbled with the football, but by mistake, I kicked it to hard and it disappeared in the woods. I jogged there, and laid my hand at a tree for support, while I bent down to pick up the football.

"BOOM"

Pain streaming through my body, and then, everything was quiet.

"I remember now." I gasped.

"Remember what?" Stan asked.

"I laid my hand on a tree, and thunder…"

"You must have had your hand on the tree the thunder hit." Joe said. "Or what do you think Mike?"

"I think… that Sophia´s very lucky to be alive."
