The Lavender Storm

 Everyone is sleeping peacefully and it’s silent outside. The kids are all camping in a windmill tower for a week or so, so they can survive. Their parents left them recently for their new job at making a town run by robots. It’s silly I know, but since it’s the “modern days”, people only care about themselves and money.

The siblings are all huddled together with 2 pillows and a big woolly red and white blanket they stole from people having a picnic. Then, they hear a CRASH! BANG! Rosalina sits up in a panic and peeks outside, she sees a bright lavender bolt of lighting strike the ground and it suddenly casts a wave of heat that hits Rosalina.

Rosalina looks into the distance and sees bright apricot orange flames reach up to the sky. She starts to get scared. She doesn’t wanna scare Sakura and Angel so she wakes up Alex. “Alex… Look outside.” Alex gets up still half asleep and strolls over to the door, the smell of the dirty smoke floats around the children, the smell wakes Angel up.

“What’s that smell?” She asks with a hint of worry in her tone. “Uhh.. It’s nothing Angel, go back to sleep.” Alex says. “Okay..” Angel replies and lays back down. The sound of sirens fill the empty silence. Firefighters hop out of their truck and put out the fire. Alex and Rosalina stare into the distance. 

Lightning never strikes twice does it? That was the question that occupied their mind as they crouched, huddling together.

House Owners - Part 1

!TW! Blood

I'm laying in my bed. It's 11:17pm and I haven't slept yet. The hard mattress hurts my back, it feels like I'm laying on a bunch of bricks. My room smells weird and it's covered in cotton candy pink. I'm at my grandmas house because my parents are out for a week on holiday. I shiver at the freezing breeze coming through my glass window. I would get up and close my window but my grandma has some weird rules...

1. No getting out of bed after 10:30pm

2. If you get up to go to the bathroom, run.

3. In your room, you have to have a spray bottle. (It's a weird liquid but she won't tell me the name)

I've always wondered why she made up these rules. But maybe... If I grab the spray bottle and get out of bed to shut my window. Nah, I'll ask grandma about it in the morning. I already have 3 blankets I'll deal with it in the morning. I start to doze off and then I wake up. I check the time and it's 1:30am I need to go toilet. Who cares about grandmas rules. They're unnecessary anyways. 

I get out of bed and walk to the toilet. I feel paranoid... Like someone's watching me? I don't know why though. The rules are totally fake. The floors creaking make me flinch, I finally get into the bathroom. I open the door and step inside.

I look at myself in the mirror and scream, but no sound comes out. I stare into my reflections eyes. My eyes are filled with blood, dripping down my cheeks and onto the sink. I look behind my reflection and see a tall black figure with a big grin plastered on their face. I try to run out of the bathroom but the door is locked. I feel a heavy hand grab my shoulder. I gasp. I sit up immediately, it was all a dream.

I'm sweating and I start to cry. It felt so real? I drink the cup of water next to me and I do some breathing to calm myself down a bit. I check the time and it's 8:23am. My grandma comes in with a warm smile, she walks over to my bed with pancakes and maple syrup on the top. "Did you sleep well Mia?" She asks nicely. "Yeah... I slept okay" I reply trying to get my mind off that nightmare. "Because you'll need the sleep for this weekend! I'm so excited for your 12th birthday." I roll my eyes slightly and groan. I don't like birthdays. It's just counting down days until you die.

"Is everything alright sweetie?" Grandma asks with a concerned face. "Yeah, yeah. I'm all good..." I reply with a hint of annoyance. "Okay, maybe just relax in bed today!" She says. I start to smile. "Awh really? That sounds nice. Thank you." I respond with relief. I can finally relax. 

It's 11:45am now. I've just been reading and drawing. I've been trying to draw what I saw in my nightmare. It looked so weird and creepy... It's probably best to forget about it, it meant nothing. I always thought grandmas house had this weird vibe though. It always made me shiver at the thought of it. I click back to reality after zoning out.

Is it just me or is it really hot in here?.. I start to feel light headed and my bedroom turns into a blur. My ears feel blocked and I want to throw up. I hear a strong ring from both sides of my ears and my eyelids feel heavy.. I feel like passing out.. I start to fall to the side and I roll off my bed. Before I feel anything or hear anything everything turns black.

To Be Continued...

Thank you so much for reading this story!

I will be making a part 2 but I decided it will be best to split it into 2 parts.

Maybe even 3 parts. It depends. Thanks again, I hope part 2 will be done by May.

The Lavender Storm

 

The sky is a dark purple-black colour. Clouds start moving out, they cover the sky but there's an empty hole in the middle of them. Suddenly, the hole in between the clouds start flickering with a lavender light and it turns brighter by the second. Then, electric bolts of lilac purple lighting strike the ground, casting a wave of heat that floats through the air.

The windmill sitting on the hard brick tower, starts to spin at a graceful pace, but then, the swishing of the wind starts to speed it up. The blades start spinning at a fast rate and it starts to spit. Light cold rain starts to hit the ground, making the grass wet and slippery.

The rain starts to pour down harder, hitting peoples roofs and streaming down to their windows, forcing a mist to cover the glass. Then, the rain starts to become lighter... The sky starts to become brighter and the clouds start to become a snowy white. The windmill blades slow down and the sun starts to shine. The sky and the grass is now a beautiful, sunny dream.

Camp!
