Our time is running out

Chapter two

I lay in my bundle of blankets for hours my mind racing anxious to find out what I had witnessed on the cliff. I heard the door slam, the walls rattle and heavy footsteps on the stairs. I heard him fiddle at the lock on my door with something and the squeak of the door handle as he swung it open. I lay ridged in my bed as he stood there staring at me. I saw his swaying shadow on my floor and a hand on the frame has she struggled to stay upright. Beads of cold sweat appeared on my hair line. As quickly as they came they were gone. My room was plunged into darkness the landing light turned of and the door to their bedroom slammed.

My mattress squeaked as I sat up I grabbed a sweater and slipped on my trainers. I slid open my widow and jumped onto the grass below. I hid in the shadows of the trees as I made my way back to the cliff. Under the cover of darkness, this proved difficult as I tripped on roots of trees until I got to the opening. A small flame flickered not far off on the rocks a tent was pitched and a small mammal was roasting over the fire. She was hunched over the fire looking deflated once again. I pulled myself together ready to go over there but found that she was gone. Not again. I wearily turned around to see her.
"Hello?" I questioned
"omg it's you, the one, the chosen one, you can see me right?" She rambled
"Uh yeah I can see you do you care t-" she cut me off
"Come on we have to go now I have you!"she squealed like a ten year kid girl," Oh mothership will be so proud!"
"Excuse me?," I questioned,"please tell me what's going on."
"Come on" she wined," we have to go, all will be explained!"
"No!"I shouted
"Quiet!" She snapped
"Your a stranger I know nothing about you and I don't even have anything with me!" I stated exasperatedly
"Let's go get your things" she said grabbing my arm and leading me into the forest
"But-"I reasoned
"No buts"she said flatly

"I'll wait here" she said wearily eyeing the messy array of vines that was the entrance back into my room. I put my hands in the previous hole from my other late night adventures. Quickly I slid open the window again and fumbled for the switch on my bed side lamp. The light flickered and went out great. I yanked open my stiff broken bed side table draw and pulled out my camping torch. The pale golden light flooded the room. My chipped white wooden wardrobe was the first stop. I swung open the door grabbed my overly large hand me down camping rucksack and chucked a weeks worth of clothing into it I grabbed my favourite teddy, my secret stash of army rations, my three favourite books, toiletries my sketch pad, pencils pens and fountain pen. I looked at the red ribbon necklace with two bells and reign deer charm on and shoved it into the very bottom. I grabbed my purse shoved it into the front pouch and the camera I found in my mothers secret box. I was ready. I turned off my torch and slid it into the side compartment. I slipped on my wrist watch
Time check: 11:34am
I slid drearily down vines u till I made contact with the floor. I yawned
"Come on sleepyhead" she whispered rubbing my head.
She protectively gripped my shoulder bringing me to the beach.
"Say goodbye chicky" she said
I sighed as I stared into the horizon.
"Hey don't be upset!" She said
"I'm not!ok. I'm not," I said exasperatedly," it's just......Why me and anyway why should i trust you why am i ever going along with this .....Like how is this even happening...... I dunno. Feelings." I muttered embarrassed
"Hey" she said gripping my shoulders," you'll be find,we need to save the planet,see this,"she pointed at a necklace with a cylinder. On it a glowing red line ran threw the middle," this will transport you home whenever you need it ok."
"Ok" I said
She slipped it over my head and tucked it under my shirt. Then she slipped out many necklaces out of her shirt most red but only one green.
"The red one have a set destination each one you may visit frequently or you may like a certain place you take it screw it into place wait until lit pops and bam you can go there any time,"she explained,"the green however can take you where ever as long as you state the destination."
"So that's how you got onto the cliff!"I exclaimed
"Precisely," she said," now I'm going to give you this bottle will explain why your here then when we get to Homestead, Quire 47 I will explain the rest"
Quire 47
Homestead
Mothership who
"Um......o.ok" i spluttered
She took the stone out of her pocket. The one from earlier.
"I dropped this on the beach the day before and came looking for it,"she explained,"i turns into a car"
"A car!"I exclaimed
"Yes a god damn car are you death"she muttered,"right let's get going."
She slipped a string over her finger and flicked it down like a yo-yo. Little fireworks exploded as it went down and BOOM a car appeared hovering over the stones. The engine hummed quietly as I stared at it. Oh my Jesus.
"This is Bo Peep!" She announced
As if this day couldn't get any weirder
