I Stood Up and looked around I recognised the place it was like I had been here before or dreamt of it, after a couple minutes of trying to work out where I was it hit me. The snow Globe on my bedside table, but that’s impossible I thought.
I heard a noise something moving behind me, I quickly turned but there was nothing there I could here some shuffling in the snow “hello” I shouted, “is anybody there?” But there was no answer. Someone came out slowly and jumpy from behind the tree it walked towards me very scared.
He was quite short and had very rosy cheeks and a little red noise from the cold he looked like a normal little boy very cheerful but scared he walked up to me and said
“Why, hello there what are you doing here how did you get in?”
“Get In Where? Where am I? And who are you?” I said.
“Don’t Worry, Just Come with me and ill introduce you to my family”. He replied in his cheerful small voice. So I followed him through the snow to a little wooden cabin jus like the ones in my snow globe.
We sat there waiting for his father to come home. It was a beautiful cosy cabin with a little log fire.
“So what’s your name?” I asked trying to break the silence.
“Charlie, what’s yours?” he replied
“Oh well my names Myra, Myra McQueen, Very nice to meet you”.
He looked at me puzzled “How Old are you Myra?”
“10” I replied
“You Don’t Speak like a 10 year old, Im 10 and I don’t speak all growd up like that” he said still looking at me like I was some kind of alien.
“Well I was taught at school how to speak properly” I said proudly.
“School???” He shouted “what’s that?”
“Goodness you really don’t know anything do you.” I said surprised.
He changed the subject, “You’re very pretty you know”
We glanced at each over and the awkwardness was broken by his father coming through the door saying “how many times do I have to tell you Charlie you can’t light the fire when im not home.” He looked at me and stopped.
“Why hello there, Charlie you should have told me we had company.” He said in a change of tone.
“Oh hello there im sorry I didn’t mean to intrude its just I thought it would be alright.” I said
Charlie then explained why I was there and who I was and how he met me.
His father sent us out to get some fire wood; we decided to have a competition to see who could get the most logs.
Suddenly the ground began to shake and horrible rumble came from above us
“What’s going on” I shouted
“Look Up” He shouted.
I looked and all I could see was a massive wave of snow coming down towards us I had no idea what it was.
“Aver Lange, Run!!” Charlie Exclaimed.
We ran as fast as we could I could feel my heart beating in my throat and could barley feel my feet from the cold I saw Charlie stumbling behind me I grabbed his hand saw a cave and dived into it closely followed by the wall built of snow the snow wasn’t so pretty and glistening anymore it heavily banged on the top of the cave thud by thud of more snow like a brick wall crumbling down.
I looked behind me and saw Charlie sitting on the floor hopelessly he looked in pain and his face was missing his rosy cheeks.
“Charlie is you alright” I said longingly.
“No im not” he replied as he tried to move his legs he yelled excruciatingly in pain.
“Charlie, Charlie, What’s wrong?”
He couldn’t move his legs I didn’t know what to do.
“I think their broken” I said
I sat beside him and hugged him to try and keep warm. For the first time since I had been there I started to miss my mother and my family if my mother was here I would be safe somewhere. I wish I could be at home right now lying in my bed.
I looked at the sadness in Charlie’s eyes “we’ll never get out now, its hopeless the snow is too heavy to move and I can’t even move!
I started to cry hopelessly not even knowing my reason whether it was how I felt sorry for Charlie or how much I missed my family.
“Don’t cry” Charlie said as he handed he a handkerchief.
Charlie looked at me and said “you wont leave me will you? Promise you won’t leave me” I looked into his eyes and saw how petrified he was.
I put my head on his shoulder “Promise” I watched Charlie fall asleep and I wasn’t far behind him.
I opened my eyes too see the snow globe sitting there on my bedside table. I sat up quickly I ran down stairs “Mother, Mother, did you miss me? Im sorry mother I won’t do it again” I cried
“What ever do you mean darling you’ve only been upstairs 5 minutes”. She replied.
I ran upstairs it couldn’t have been a dream I know it. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a little handkerchief with the name Charlie sown in.
