Chances by Ella G (robert munsch read aloud txt) 📖

staring at a white-grey moon that seemed to catch our attention. "Kat!" I yelled, and when she turned around, I hugged her, and she was holding me tight.

"We're going to find a way out. We're going to find a way out, okay? Oh, that BASTARD!" She yelled.

I held her hand tight, almost making her hand blue tinted and bloodless,

but she didn't seem to mind. She was cursing in so many words that I was wondering if I talked to her,

she'd cuss at me too.

 

After an hour or two, Kat calmed down, and she was telling me all about what she'd do if that ghost came.

"Oh, I'd punch the SHIT out of it! UGH! She stomped down to the navy lake, and threw rocks at it, making noises of aggrivation and frustration. I sighed, and sat down on a boulder. Another hour passed, and she came back, her face a bit red, and one of her hands into a white knuckled fist.

"Whoa...chill, Kat. i'm here. Anyways, what if it was ourselves? What if it wasn't the shadow?" I was already convinced myself, but Kat groaned, and replied, "Whatever, let's just find a way out." 

I nodded in response, and we walked to any corner, hoping to find a way out.

 

☾Kat☽

I WAS REALLY PISSED OFF.

 

 

It was annoying. That shadow thing, GOD! Why the hell did it send us here, though?!

Alice convinced me halfway, and gave me time to think. 

First, I hated this place.

Second, I'm mad at that bastard shadow.

And third...I love Alice.

It's just that...we have been hanging out a lot, I guess, and I just realized that.

Judge me, I don't care. 

I just realized that I loved her. Alice was looking around now, desperate for a way out.

She frantically ran side to side, and I crossed my arms, and yelled out to her, "ALICE, THERE'S NO WAY OUT! WE HAVE TO WAIT!" Alice sighed, and I could make out the words she was saying almost to herself. "I know.."

She walked slowly back, sat down on the boulder, and put her head on my shoulder.

"We'll find a way out." I assured her. She looked up at me with her brown eyes. "Promise?"

I hesitated, sighed, and said, "Promise."

 

Three hours passed, and there was no way out yet.

But then, a bright flash of light appeared, and a puff of black smoke, and there stood a thin shadow.

I balled up my fists, ready to cuss at it and try to punch it, until a girl appeared.

She had hair as black as a raven's, and eyes that were sky blue. She had pink Converse sneakers on, a short sleeved white tee, light washed high waisted jeans, and a coffee colored jacket.

"Hey. I'm Seyne and I could help you." Her voice was a bit British and Southern. 

Alice was staring at the ground, her head still on my shoulder.

"Are you a shadow bastard, too?" I asked.

She said, "Nah," "Good, now help us." I said.

She looked behind me, and said "There."

When Alice and I looked behind us, there was a square white portal.

"And aye, I'll see you sometime. And the shadow is a bastard. Just be lucky he dint get THAT angry." She walked toward us, and stepped through the portal. 

 

Alice gripped my hand tight, and ran into the portal.

My face felt like it was being pulled off, and my hands felt like they were being pinched.

Seyne appeared in front of us, laughing and smiling in Alice's house. "You weren't supposed to run!"

Alice's face looked like she drank something unpleasant.

"I could help you get rid of your disease." Seyne looked straight into my eyes, and got serious. Alice was staring at me like a toddler. "Tell. Me. Now." I told her. "It's a bit dangerous, though." "We'll do it!" Alice said, her voice full of hope.

I noticed Seyne never looked at Alice, until she looked at her and spoke.

"I'll show you." And with that comment, the bastard appeared near Alice's staircase.
