Is There Ever a Way Out?

Chapter 2

It was the next day, and my day off. I decided to venture through the forest, since I haven't in a while. I went through a shortcut between some alleys to the forest. I decided to go off trail for this adventure. I went through some bushes and dead brambles. I came across this rock, but didn't think much of it. Then I stopped. I looked at the rock, and the lizard from yesterday was on it! The lizard also saw me, came up to me, and went up to my shoulder. The lizard then jumped to a tree, and to another, and looked at me.

It did a motion with its head as if it wanted me to follow it. I did, since there wasn't really much else to do. After following it through some tall and prickly plants, we came across this structure. It looked like an ancient temple, and was untouched by the world. I stared at it with amazement. I had no idea this was here! The lizard started going up the side of the temple, which looked like stairs.

I followed the lizard up, and oh my god that lizard was fast! I finally reached the top, out of breath. The lizard was fine somehow, and was staring off into the distance. When I caught my breath and looked over, I saw what the lizard was looking at. It was a travel boat, and matter in fact the same on the Mistress went on this morning. It seems like it's almost docked at the shore of Japan. It was all peaceful, but yet rather too quiet.

Then I noticed something by the shore of Japan. There was the nuclear power plant, but the steam was a dark gray, and not cloud white. Before I could think of what the cause could be there was a loud explosion that even shook the temple! One of the e things steam came out of collapsed, and a dark cloudy substance rapidly left the place. The shock caused the boat this Mistress was on to flip, and the lizard started running.

' Hey, wait for me! ' I shouted as I ran after it. Soon enough we had reached the edge of a cliff, and right below the cliff was a deep part of water that led to the ocean. The lizard made a squeak as it turned to look at me. The dark substance had now covered over us, and it was raining a strange thing that I can barely describe. It was a cloud colored liquid, but felt fuzzy I guess.

A large drop hit the lizard, and it freaked out, unsure of what just hit it. I tried to grab hold of the lizard, but it fell off the cliff into the water! I frantically looked down into the water, hoping I could catch sight of the lizard, swimming to safety. But it never surfaced. I was devastated by the loss of my friend and stayed longer, but I had to go back to the orphanage for safety.

I grabbed a large leaf, and went sliding down the hill to the panicking village. People were rushing everything into their homes. Some were packing their belongings, ready to leave the island at the first sign of a disaster worse than this. I made it to the orphanage in time for the door to be locked for this. I went to the mess hall with everyone else, waiting for Mr. Osborne to say anything about what's happening or what to do. Today was......interesting.
