The Devil with Charm

Part 6

NANCY'S POV:
Its cold. But fun. The cold wind is brushing against my face, sending tingles down my spine. My hair is flowing with the strong breeze. I am sitting next to the window of the helicopter.I can see the high mountains appear and disappear within the thick clouds as the helicopter soars through the sky. My new strawberry shaped earrings are dangling from my ears and gently tugging at them. I like this place.

Mummy bought me the new earrings. She bought a new scarf with strawberry prints. It matched my earrings. I want to hug her, kiss her, and say thank you for them. I turn around. I see Daddy, white like a ghost. I am scared.

I try to walk to Daddy, but my seatbelt won't open. I struggle but noone helps me. I again look up and see Daddy walk towards the now open doorway of the helicopter. I want to run to him but cannot. I am scared.

Suddenly the seatbelt gives way and I am lurched towards Daddy. I trip on a bottle of soda but do not fall out. I rush to him and hug his knee. I hold his hand and look up at his face. His hand is so cold, his face is whiter than it was. I am scared.

Daddy is looking down, out of the doorway. I crane my neck to see what has frightened him so much. I catch sight of a bright scarf drifting below towards the forests below. I see a big strawberry design on it. I am not scared. I am petrified.
