No Mater How Far - Chapter 1

 Every week i will post another chapter of my story. Please keep an eye out for my story chapter posts. Please leave comments and give me some of your ideas on what should happen next.




Chapter One

I was puffed, my feet aching, my head thumping so loud i was sure others could hear it.
What ever was chasing me wasn't small, i could tell because i could hear it thumping loudly towards me, this giant monster or what ever it was, it didn't appreciate me being in its territory.
The thick branches slapped hard against my cold skin and left cuts and red lines all across
 my face. Now my feet were dead, they felt like they were being jabbed with 1,000 needles and knifes at once, i wanted to stop but i wasn't going to give in. I then went around a corner and spotted a hollow log covered in moss and snapped branches. I crawled in, panting, i tried to slow down my breath and keep quiet, but i couldn't help it, i put my hands over my mouth. The monster thumped past roaring and i sat there still for a moment, until it was further down the track, i knew i didn't have long to run, so i sprinted tiered, in the other direction.


2 days before...


"Charlie....  Charlie!!!!!" I shouted down the hallway. "What do you want?!" He popped his head out from his room, his chocolate brown hair glimmering in the sun that streaked through the window at the end of the hallway. "Come here, you need to listen to this...   the weather reporter on the TV, there predicting a storm, they don't understand though, it looks like a tropical storm but..." I froze. "What.. what is it?"he asked with a distressed sound in his voice. " What would a Tropical storm be doing all the way out here, in England, and not to mention in the middle of winter?" Charlie looked at me as if i had drunk to much coffee. "Sam, its probably just the global warming, we all know its getting worse"
"Yeah, i know but, it can't go from normal weather to a massive tropical storm, it'll build up gradually, and just get hotter and hotter, and more like tropical weather. Wont it?"
"Well we don't need to worry to much. Lets just get some sleep, o.k. See you in the morning Sam."
"see you in the morning."


It was a sleepless night, the wind was howling and carried the sounds of voices, the rain loudly tapped continuously on the roof. I tossed and turned not even getting a wink of sleep. and neither could Charlie , i could tell because i could hear him talking to himself. When my alarm went off at 7:00 Charlie was already in the kitchen boiling the kettle. "Did you get any sleep?" Charlie said while putting two Kenya Bold tea bags into cups. " Not a wink."
"I can tell by the look of you hair." My Jet black hair seemed to have turned into dreadlocks overnight." I lazily dragged myself to the couch and completely gave in to the couch. Charlie's slippers scuffed around on the kitchen floor. He put my cup of steaming tea on the coffee table in front of me. Charlie pulled the blinds part, letting the sun streak through hitting me, causing me to shut my eyes tightly. " Ah... Sam... Y-you.. lo-l- um- w." Charlie stammered, struggling to get out the words. " Just say it!"
"The- l-l-look... " He stood there, frozen. "UGH!" I dragged myself to the window above the sink. I could not believe what i was looking at. my mouth dropped open. Maybe i was getting some sleep after all. "What happened?"
