Narrative



Beep! Beep! Beep! My eyes fling open. I hear the faint sound of movement in the other room. I feel the icy draft on my rosy cheeks and decide to get up. Monday morning is here again. I sit up and look at the unfamiliar room that surrounds me. Nothing feels right anymore. I left my school, my house, and worst, mums making me go to school TODAY. I look at the murky uniform sitting at the end of the bed. I get up, get dressed, and walk downstairs, and smell the familiar smell of strong perfume. No time to lose’ I thought. I walked outside to the barn and grabbed the feed buckets for summer, her new pony. After that she grabbed her lunch, said bye to her mum, and hopped on the vomit stinking school bus. I knew absolutely know one, and I was dreading to meet the new teachers. Suddenly, I hear the faint puff of smoke as the bus squeaked to a halt. I look around me. The school is tiny, and only 100 students go there. There are no courts, no swimming pool, and no Astroturf. It’s nothing like her old school in Pittsburg. Everyone heads off the bus and I’m off last. Suddenly snapped out of my daydream, I started to run off the bus and head for the school hallway. I was dreading know one would see me and shout ‘hey newbie’ or even speak a word to me. I run up the stairs where I can see the school attic door. Hoping the door would be open she burst through the door happy that it was. I looked around me. No lights are on and it is pitch black. I breathe a slow, sigh of relief, until I hear a strange scuffling noise. RATS! I make a run for it trying to find the door to get out, but I tripped on my shoelace even before I could reach it. I fall through the floor, as it was obviously not strong enough to hold me, and I crash on the wooden ground beneath me. I rub my eyes and try to see where I fell. It smelt like rust and decaying wood, and obviously there was no way out. I look forward, and realize there is a door in front of me. I pull myself up and reach for the handle of the door. It opens easily and I breathe another sigh of relief until…

Part 2 I open the door to see a shining light in front of me. Is this a stair way to heaven? Before I could think of anything else I am being dragged into the light and I start to scream, hoping someone would hear me but it was no use. I look around to try and find something to grab onto but before I could try and look I am flung into the light and all I see is different colours and then black…. I wake up to find myself in a flower field. My head was banging and I felt tired and drowsy but I had to stay awake because I needed to find out where on earth I was. Suddenly I see a figure running towards me. It looks like a horse. Summer? It was not summer but it was definitely a horse. It was pearly white and it had… wings? A horn? ‘What is this a fairytale?’ I said to myself. Suddenly, it flew over my head and grabbed me with its wings. Alice screamed and struggled, trying to wriggle free, but the creature was holding her tight. Then another burst of colours danced across my eyes and I was left flying in the air, unconscious. My eyes flung open. What is going on? I try to remember what happened and suddenly it came to me. I looked around. ‘Is this a cloud? Where am I and what am I doing here? What do you want from me’! Alice screamed. I get up trying to stay stable, and then the unisus comes back. Alice tries to cling on, afraid it will try to grab her again like it did last time. But instead, it just looked at her as if to say ‘I’ll take you home’ so Alice hopped on and let her hair loose. Suddenly the unisus’s eyes go red and it gallops of and soars into the air at enormous speeds. Alice screams but really, all she can do is hold on and pray for dear life.

Part 3 Finally, they landed in a dark lair and Alice felt a cold shiver run down her spine. She remembered what her grandma had told her about these stories, and usually the villain wanted something from you, like the necklace that Alice was wearing. Her grandma had given it to her when she was very young, and she told her to ‘go through different worlds’ with it. Of course, Alice was only young there so she wouldn’t understand, but now she kind of did. Not paying attention to what was happening in the ‘imaginary world’ she hadn’t realize that the unisus had stopped moving. I sat, silent for a moment, hoping the horse wouldn’t gallop off again or buck her off. She could do it on summer, but she kind of new summer wouldn’t try and kill her! Slowly, the unisus started bending its knees and I quickly jumped off, thinking it was doing this as a trick. I started to sprint down the scary corridor, having no idea where I am going. After a little while I realized that nothing was chasing me, so I stopped. Then suddenly, before I could move there was a loud boom! The only thing I could do was crouch on the floor and pray nothing would try and attach me again. What happened? I waited a little while, just crouching there, in case anything would try and attack me when I released my head. I started to lift my head up and get a glimpse of what had happened. It looked like a….. Summer! I rushed up to my beloved horse and hugged onto her neck, sobbing and mumbling. ‘I just want to come home summer, with you and mum and that old shack we call home’ she sobbed. ‘Well you can, but you have to give me something first’. ‘Who said that? Go away and take whatever you want, just take me home’. She clenched her Grandmas locket and thought of all the amazing things her home had to offer her and then…

Part 4 Suddenly, she woke up. She was sitting in the old attic huddled in a corner. ‘I must have smacked my head and gone unconcious’ she guessed. She looked at her watch. Darn its 3 o clock! My mum will be waiting for me. She got up quickly and rushed out of the door she could now see, because her eyes were used to the dark now. She saw her mum and ran to their car and hopped in. ‘Hey mum, how are you today? Something really weird happened to me today’. ‘Hey honey just tell me in a minute, but I’m pretty sure summer isn’t pearl white’. Wait what? She looked down at her jumper and realized that her jumper was covered in white, horse hair.
