The Dream
Harrow International School Hong Kong , Lai , Katie - 11

I t all started when I came ; I was born in the capital of china , Beijing . There I suffered much from the deadly and horrific earthquake , whereas the people there was known that I was the “ bad luck girl ” since I was born in the year which all the disasters came . The earthquake was like a implacable enemy , something that never will end . I was told that education aren ’ t for people that is unfortunate and that I had no rights . My parents split up , I don ’ t exactly know why . But I still have a mom that loved me , who treated me like I ’ m the only person in the world left . She had a mystery job which I don ’ t know what it was , but we lived on together until this came .

It was once when the earthquake came . I got trapped in this raven and nasty hole where I couldn ’ t see a thing . I tried to push the rock that was blocking the light away , but I failed . I almost thought of ending my life . All of a sudden , I saw a dim dim light and people shouting out something unrecognisable . Loud , but as soon as I realised that it was calling out my name , it started to faint away . I thought that this could help me , I stumbled up the stones and the parched rocks . I used all my force to push the massive rock on top of me away . God must ’ ve gave luck to me , thankfully I managed to get out , but with a huge bruise on my thighs . The ‘ people ’ saw me , I can ’ t call them people though , there is only one person which I can call a monk , there are two big abnormal creatures . One of them looks like a overweight a unusual sized Pig . The other one was a very uncommon type of monkey that is 6feet tall and can speak in a charming voice . The last one is the one that I call a monk , but the irregular thing about it is that it is always riding on this weak and small horse . I called out for them . They looked back in pleased and grateful eyes . Scanning all over me , they came near and asked “ Are you Avaleigh ’ s daughter ?” “ How do you know ?” I asked . “ ah , your mother , she was our lifesaver . But with a unfortunate luck , she passed away . Which leaves you to help us to complete our last mission to the west with your help .” They announced , in a quite calm way . “ Why me ?” I questioned . “ Ahh , the god of lord said that you were the best choice of all , would you want to join us ?” They requested . I was stunned , I didn ’ t know which path I should choose , but if I want a better life I rather go on with them than staying here . I replied yes . There they led me on the road .
We walked and walked and walked , it was like the longest road I ’ ve ever walked before . We decided to rest in the cave nearby . They comforted me like I ’ m their daughter . After a while , when everyone was asleep , I woke up seeing the monk talking to himself , planning on something . But I didn ’ t really care about its and instead to finding out what it was , I went back to sleep . The next day , we kept on walking . We had no breaks no snacks and not even anything . No one said nothing , we were all like criminals looking down regretting on what we did that brought ourselfs to jail . Finally , the monk stopped whispered something . Something I ’ ve never heard before . It was like a spell , that is allergic to my ear . I unconsciously started to walk into a house that I haven ’ t even spot it when it was right in front of me just now when we stopped . I tried to stop myself but I can ’ t , Something was pulling me in . Something hard . I then crashed into this room . Whereas in the room there was two roaring red dragons tied on with iron chains , yelling out fire . Thousands of bone scattered around the floor . I realised that something was wrong now . It was all wrong from the beginning ”, Why are you doing this to me ?” I shouted turning back .
“ This is your fate young girl , face the dragon and fight through it to get out , otherwise it ’ s going to ouch .” The monkey smiled . I had no choice but to only fight through it . I picked up the golden sword that was sticking out from the bones and stood there not knowing what to do . I suddenly saw the dragon released himself , I tried running back , trying to see if the spell is still there . Surprisingly , the spell was not there anymore ! I quickly ran back to where they were standing . They seemed astonished as I run back . I used the golden sword and stabbed the monkey right on his chess as I came close , I know that they ’ re going to send me back again . So I Threatened them to let me go . With shock , they stared as me as I ran away . I ran and ran , fell down and cried tragically . No one could help me , nobody . I can ’ t find food , water , people or anything . I am alone , I should not have came with them . I wanted to die so badly . I arrived the mountain top , and jumped down with dreadful tears .
