DYING BLAZE by Becky Graham (phonics reader TXT) 📖

CHAPTER 3
The last moment Rohnnie could remember the oily octapos doing was trying to thrash the car but she spirred the car around and the tenticle smashed the concrete.
The XX yelled in anger.
XX moved foward waving its oily tenticals as it went.
"We have to do something!" yelled Claire "I know but wha- wait Mark take the wheel Claire and i will go on the roof-"
"What are you crazy!" yelled Claire "We will be blowed off"
"Claire you have to trust me" i said seriously."Ok Ok" said Claire.
We climbed on the roof and held on tight "on three put on the torches" "one......two.......three.......GO!".
The torches were lit and the XX scremmed in anger it craweld off the cliff back down to the dark trenches.
"WHEW" said Mark "What was that"
"A XX the worst of his kind" i said
"You mean IT"
"No HE"
"All right allright come on off the roof"
We drove for about a day but we had to stop and get gas thankfully they had some in a little old deserted garage.
But we had to hit the road if they wanted to make it to alaska.


The car grumbled and woke Rohnnie up, the cold air nipped the end of her nose so she rolled the window up and put the car back out of autopilot and drve along the snowy roads.
They were close to Alaska X1X 98th base but not close enough, soon though soon.
Claire woke up and looked out "Are we there yet?" she said in a very tired voice.
"No but we will be soon"
I smiled but i cant stay there i have to go i thought to myself i hope she realises and Mark.
Of coarse they wont miss me dont be stupid but i would miss them but i would have to go.
"well i need some food do we have any"said Claire
"em yes i think so i got some tuna,tikka,cheese,ham and roast beef sandwhiches crisps and coke"
"thanks i am starving"
"ye cool, i was thinking when we get there i em well" i pursed my lips.
"what?"
"never mind i just said whatever i thought of"
"Ok em that is .....nice?"
"So Claire" i said changing the subject "what age are you?"
"15 soon 16 Mark is the same .... i mean you must have noticed we are twins but he dosent think like me" she took a mouth full of tuna "i know we are diffrent but we are VERY diffrent ya know" she took a swag of coke "IF that any makes sense but it dose to me i just dont think we are alike at all its freaky, stupid but true"
"i see what you mean he has a mixed personality at first he was shy nut the next minuite he was daring and out there but i do not think it is stupid trust me i know"
She took another bite of her sanwhich and another drink of diet coke "its nice to talk to someone who understand even Mark dosent understand my mom didnt either but she didnt care about either of us she was horrible a filthy drug and alcohol addict"
I looked at her she looked shaken but continued to eat and drink it was obvius she had a big lump in her throat.

Mark gave a large snore he had been sleeping for a while but at least he had something to do, but soon they would be at the BASE and would not need to drive any more.
It was 1pm and very cold out.


The next morning Rohnnie woke up and put the car into manual she felt horrible but then The base !! it faded into view her heart gave a little leap.
She beaped the horn and Claire and Mark woke up.
"WE ARE HERE HERE WE ARE!!" I shouted Mark shouted happily as did Claire.
They drove into the base happily no X greeting them but people real people.
A bald man called Steve greeted them "Welcome to the base"
Rohnnie smiled..........
