Amy Tanton lived with her Mum, Dad, and Brother Joe. Amy had wonderful long blonde hair that glistened as the sun beamed on it. She was eleven, and she was on her way to her new school, Hilton Heath High. She was walking with a skip in her step when suddenly it began to get foggy. Then it was pitch black! She was terrified as she felt herself falling. She closed her eyes tightly and could feel something cold. She carefully opened her eyes. It was snow! She was in an icy world full of snow and coldness! She decided to have a walk around in the beautiful snowy land. She could hear teensy little waves as though she was close to water. As she makes out a sign that says, 'Spectacular Snowy Scene' with an arrow pointing east, she bumped into a group of polar bears. They are so fluffy and soft you see can even see their noses twinkling in the light. "Oh!" she panicked, but then she heard the polar bears talking in her language. "Hello," she called to one of them, "my name is Amy." "Hello," replied a cheerful one. "Nice to meet you. My name is Pennie, Pennie the Polar Bear." After chatting and walking for a while, they came across musk ox footprints. They stopped and turned around and began walking the other way, hoping the musk ox would not follow their easily recognisable path in the snow. They were all plodding along behind a cliff of snow when the leader suddenly stopped them and said, "Be quiet!" "Why?" they all thought to themselves. "There is a herd of musk oxen!" he whispered, and they all gasped in horror. And what was this coming around the corner but three musk oxen. Everyone started screaming their heads off in worry! They ran here, there, and everywhere and stopped and looked at Amy. They then silently formed a circle around her trying to protect her from any danger. One ox looked like it was ready to charge. It had his head down and a fierce look in his eyes. The ox starts coming towards her, getting closer and closer… he's about a metre away! Amy turned around, she can't bear the thought of the revolting ox hurting her. After about a minute that felt like a whole hour, she turned around. But there weren't any oxen only a lot of badly wounded bears. Amy was distraught. "I am so sorry," Amy said, crying. "It's ok," a polar bear replied, choking. They all staggered along the icy land and came across a wooden shed where they decided they would stay the night. It would be better than nothing. While Amy was in the shed, she helped them as best she could. When she was at girl guides, she had learnt a bit of first aid. She helped by pouring cold water on their wounds. And luckily there were some towels in the tatty shed she could wrap them in. She thought she should help them the best she could because they had saved her life. That night in the dreaded shed, Amy wondered how she was going to get back home. She thought long and hard about this all night. Tuesday morning arrived and she had thought of a load of ways to try and get home. First, she tried closing her eyes. That didn't help, she just ended up going to sleep. Second, she tried sliding down a slippery slope in skies. She hurt her nose badly by doing that! Very badly indeed! Next, she tried springing off a small icy hill. Even that didn't work! The final thing she was willing to try was jumping into the sea. After saying goodbye to the polar bears for the forth time, she jumped in! She could see things twirling around her like a hurricane and could hear nothing but wind. She suddenly found herself outside her own front door, and while immensely relieve, she assumed that she would get a big telling off. But when she came in, it was the same time as it was when she fell over! She looked at the calendar and realized Monday hadn't been crossed off yet. Her family hadn't even noticed she had gone! So she set off to school once again and made a new school friend, Sally, and, whenever it was foggy, she would meet her new friends in the Antarctic. Amy always wondered why she ended up there in the first place but has never actually found out! THE END! The end. To register for More childrens-stories.net Free Stories please click here |
