Excited and bouncy I sat in the car seat of our Mercedes 200, my dads pride and joy. Finally we were going to Scotland to see nana Mary and grandad Peter. The last time we went was two years ago when I was twelve now I'm fourteen, there was so much to tell nana about. Like my fencing award I won and my new necklace mum bought me. So much she'd missed out on living in Scotland. But no matter she would find out about it all when we got there. It would be a race between me and Sarah to see who could get to nana first, I would win if I threw Sarah's lipgloss down the garden...                                                                                                                                        "Mom how long until we get there?" I asked.  Mom laughed turning her head slightley to reply.   "Just another hour sweety then we'll be there." So there was enough time for another nap then.  Shutting my eyes I rested my head against the cool glass window. Soon I was fast asleep. In my dream I was lying on some grass by a river, birds sang and fish swam the sun was glowing down on me, it was practically perfect. I flicked a piece of straight silky black hair of of my face, something shone in the light...It was a plain silver ring with the words Te amo Diana engraved in swirly writing on the inside of the ring. Slidding it off my finger I inspected it closely, there were absolutley no marks on it anywhere it was flawless, in fact it was so polished I could see my heavy lashed big grey eyes staring at me. Where did it come from? I'd never seen it before. If you had asked me to describe the perfect ring it would have been pretty close to this ring. But I'd never seen one like it. Also what did Te amo Diana mean? I could guess what Diana meant because that's my name.  I had no idea what Ta amo meant though. Languages wasn't usually my thing, accents were no problem but languages were alot harder; although I wasn't too bad at french. Putting it back on my finger I sighed. How delicate it was. Even though it was scorching the ring was cold not icy cold just cool. Content I let my hand drop onto my stomach. Slowely I sat up and looked around, there was no one there but me so I stood up streching my arms then stripped down to my swimming costume, it was dark blue with stripes of grey across it. Strolling to the river I attempted to unsuccessfully tug the elastic band out of my hair in the end I ripped the band. Then I skipped over to the edge of the river and jumped in making water splash everywhere. The water was warm, I could just about stand up in it. I spent a while swimming in the river and stroking the fish but after a bit I got tired so I just floated occasionally stiking my arm out so I didn't crash into some rocks. A sudden bang! Woke me up.

We had collided with another car and gone spinning along the road bumping into other cars as we went . Dad was desperatley trying to stop the car while mom screamed. Sarah had fainted when she smashed her head off of the window. I tried to clutch onto the seat in front of me my heart pounded so hard in my chest I could hear it. Dad hit the breaks again and we skidded sideways towards an on coming van, my side of the car was the one that would hit it. Searing pain started buning in my neck.  A calm voice in my head told me to go to sleep. So I blacked out.
