Henrietta and Otto's Adventures

Chapter 1

Henrietta was ten, she had dark, long hair. Her eyes were pine brown and she always wore the same dark blue T-Shirt saying 'leave me alone loser'. Otto on the other hand was completely different to Henrietta, he was eleven and his hair was blonde with some brown streaks, his eyes were greenie blue but he wore thick, black rimmed glasses because he was short sighted. They were best of friends and always loved to go on adventures with each other, especially the beach.

Henrietta lived in this dusty, huge mansion and Otto lived in this little shed next to Henrietta's place. Otto spent nearly his whole life with Henrietta. That's why one day they asked Henrietta's mum if they could go to the beach, the answer, they already knew. It was always a clear no, they hated to be stuck indoors every single day, so today they were going to plan up a way to get out to the breezy beach. All they had was to go upstairs, on to the roof and finally run to the beach, but one problem, they knew Henrietta's mum always kept the window bolted shut for that exact reason. Henrietta's plan b was to simply walk out the gate and her speciality, run. So that's exactly what they did.

They arrived at the beach and all they could see was a few bushes that got teared out of the ground so it could go on top of a wrecked sand castle and the sea as black as the night. They rushed to a sign that recently got placed there. It read: We're afraid that anybody who passes this sign will be killed because this is the lightning zone, we're sorry for any inconvenience." Otto, I think we should leave, NOW," shouted Henrietta as Otto was focusing on getting past the barrier." Henrietta, that is such a dumb thing to say, it's obviously someone playing a prank. Besides, why would lightning only strike on this one beach, in this one place?" Replied Otto as he took a run up and jumped over the barrier.

Henrietta rolled her glum eyes at Otto's shining eyes. He looked at her and ran ahead."Otto, wait for me, I'm sor-" she backed of. Her eyes drawn to the sky,"O, o, o, o, Otto, l, l, look behind you, be carefull." Otto came tumbling to the ground unconscious as a lightning struck him. Twenty minutes later, Henrietta was still performing C.V.R on him and he awoke." W, w, w, what happened?"asked Otto as he slowly lifted his head, his eyes were all blurry, he could see double everything although not Henrietta yet because she was hugging him and weeping. The lightning insisted to carry on striking and they had to dodge any lightning that came by them, running and running to get out of the barriers... There is no barriers, that means there is no way out of this lightning zoo.
