The nights staircase

The lighthouse

As usual, it was a dark and stormy night. It is time to go to my church camp, again. It will be the usual, we will sit listen to a some guy preach then go to the houses. This time it's going to be different though. I am actually going to talk and participate. "This will be the day" I try to tell myself.

" Hey, would you like to join us, Kayla?" Said the most outgoing of them all, Hannah. She had dark brown hair and tan skin like she had just sat in the sun all day."Uh", I replied " sure I'd love to". Let me just tell you one thing I suck at soccer so it was no surprise I kept falling on my butt the whole time. " Kayla, for crying out loud! COULD YOU BE ANY WORSE!?" raged Siri. Here's one thing about Siri, I hate her. I hate her arrogance. I hate her pride. I just hate her! People kicked the ball in every direction, and my lungs pumped hard as I prayed that no one would kick the ball towards me.

Suddenly Hannah yelled "KAYLA!", and I felt my heart race as I got the ball. I glared down at my blue tracks shoes kicking the ball in a rhythmic pattern. I wish we were could be racing track instead. I decided to put my speed into good use as I raced past players and was about to give the ball a mighty kick into the goal when stupid Siri tripped me and I landed flat on my face. There goes my big moment.

We spilt up between two cars, three in one car, four in the other. Since we were 14 we are aloud to sit in the front seat ,but I like to sit in the back and pretend I'm not there. I think the leader felt bad for me or something because I'm shy so she let me pick the music. that's why we were listening to 80's music

the whole trip.

" Do you like that new kid Noah?" asked Siri,"I saw you talking to him." Here it goes again , boy talk. Tori twirled her blonde hair and answered," I was only wishing him a late happy birthday".

"He had a birthday?!" asks Hannah." Yes on September 3rd" Tori said boldly. I could not believe it. I have the same birthday as Tori's crush! 😏

After all the gossip, which drives me crazy ,when I don't even know these people I just decided to go for a walk. Tori's house looked so small from the outside. It was blue and had a basketball hoop in front of it. Behind her house is a forest of trees and houses. There is a small path leading down to something. No one knows what, so of course thats where I went. After a while I calculated I had gone about three miles. that is when it started to pour down hard with rain. I looked down to see my new track shoes getting covered in mud. My moms is going to kill me. It became hard to see through my glasses since now they look soaked,so i took them off. i don't get why I even need to wear glassess. I can see perfectly fine. I needed to get back to the house, when all of a sudden I saw a little speck of light. I decided to go towards it, because what else could I do?

The speck started to get bigger and bigger until I was staring straight at it. Attached to it was a skyscraper tall light house. It was red and white like a candy cane. There were little white rails heading all the way to the top. I decided it was best to go in. I circled around it to look for the door. No door, lucky me.

I looked back at the house wondering if I should go back but I was too curious to turn bak now. I circled it few more times. then I decided to start feeling some of the bricks and hope something from an Indian jones would happen. Nothing.

Ok, why the heck would someone create a light house with no doors! I was starting to get me mad! I'm five miles away from the house in pouring rain with a shelter that doesn't have a door. That's when an idea struck me. There are rails on the side of the light house. I put both feet on the rail and lifted my hands above to support myself on the rail above me. Then I began to climb.

My blonde hair slapped against my face as I looked at the ground below. It was an abyss of green and trees. Suddenly I started to feel sick. why am I even doing this when I could just go back to Tori's house? there's no point in this I'm just trying to be the adventurer I've always ,and never will be. this is stupid, just keep climbing.

When I finally reached the top the air was harder to breath in. I latched my fingers underneath the windowsill and hefted it open. I was blinded by a blast of light inside. I'm not sure it was even a light. it was like a ball of energy just floating inside this light house. The room was laced in gold with pictures of fairy tale creatures. It was awe striking!

I threw my body inside instantly feeling much warmer, warmer, a little to warm now. I let out a screech as I felt like my body was on fire when I felt a hand grab mine and yank me into a dark and cold hallway with stairs leading to a metal door. " What the hell are you doing here?!" said the mysterious..... kid? I looked up him and managed to say " it was raining outside, so I climbed up here to warm up" He stared at me with his black eyes. He was buff for a teenager. He wore a grey shit and a black leather jacket. His hair was completely black and kind of long. I like him.

"Wow, you must really hate the rain", he laughed. "How long did it take you to get up here?" All of a sudden I remembered that I was supposed to be back from my walk in an hour, crap! "I'd say about 45 minutes" I said bluntly. " Why are there no doors? it would be much easier to get inside if you you had some." I stated. "isn't it obvious" he said " tell me why you would make a place with no way to get or see inside." I thought for a second. " to hide something" he nodded as I said it. " well the fact that your here means you need to see this" he added as he started to open a door on the wall.
