Chap 1
I woke up in the middle of the night my heart pounding from a nightmare that I couldn't remember. There was this feeling in the pit of my stomach that I was going to throw up but no, I didn’t. Looking out the window it got worse. I could feel it. Some thing bad was going to happen. Shaking my head I thought, Nah…I’ve probably been around my superstitious friends too long. I sighed then went back to bed.
This time I woke up to a crack of lightning/thunder, loud I might add, I screamed and ran to wake my mom up who was already awake with my little brother clinging to her arm. “What’s going on?!” I asked. She pointed to the T.V. which was tuned to the news. Across the bottom ran a banner that, in Japanese characters, read:
‘Warning: Sever thunderstorm warning for Osaka. Take immediate shelter.’
“But that’s just the T.V.! Plus the weatherman is never right!” I yelled at her panicking and looking out the window. “This is a monsoon not a thunderstorm!!” Ok…I may have over reacted a little but it was still a big storm. I looked out onto our deck to see that the umbrella that was attached to the table blew away and the table shattered. Not to mention that the fence was gone.
“It’s the end of the world!” My little brother screamed.
“It is not!” My mom scolded. I just stood by the window watching disaster happen in front of my eyes, which was stupid because the window shattered because of the wind and ended up cutting my face. Stuttering backwards I tripped over myself and blacked out.
When I woke up I didn’t know what happened, my head hurt, and I wasn’t the happiest girl in the world either. Looking around I noticed that I was in my basement. “Mom probably brought me down here.” I said to myself. I walked up the stairs, opened the door, and gasped.
