Future Adventures of the Greater Bay Area PLK HKTA Yuen Yuen Primary School, Cheung, Katherine Wai Kiu - 10 Chapter 1:The Start Today was the first day of winter break in the Greater Bay Area, where Emily Lee lived. She had planned a lot of fun things to do. She planned to go camping with her friend, Allie, all by themselves. No parents or anything. Just Emily and Allie. “Em, I can’t wait for our trip! It’s only a week away!” squealed Allie, jumping around in her room. “Yeah, but I still don’t get why you already packed your stuff so early, Allie. Are you that excited?” asked Emily. “Duh, of course, I’m excited! Why wouldn’t I be? This is so awesome to get a chance to be away from bossiness, having some time all to ourselves!” screamed Allie, waving her hands in the air, as high as she can. “Well, you better be prepared for the long hike to Zhaoqing. It’s gonna be exhausting,” said Emily. Chapter 2: The Adventure BANG! The sounds of wind and thunder approached the two girls, as they struggled to continue their adventure. “Em! Em, maybe w-we should-stop, it’s raining cats and dogs!” moaned Allie. “You’re right, we should stop,” replied Emily, trying to make her way throughout the forest. They found a small village, and the people gave them a place to stay for the night. The people gave them food, water...Emily and Allie couldn’t thank them enough. “Wow, those people are really nice,” said Allie, snuggling herself in the bed. “You’re right, yeah…” said Emily. “Hey Em, what’s that you’ve got there?” asked Allie, pointing at Emily’s fist. “O-oh!This? It’s just an old necklace my mom gave me when I was 6.” said Emily. “Cool.Night, Em.” yawned Allie. “Night,” said Emily. Chapter 3:A Lady The next day, Emily and Allie did not wake up in a bed, but on a battlefield. “Wake up, Em. Wake up!” said a familiar voice. “Uhh..huh?” said Emily. “Em, where are we?!” said Allie. “Uhhh...HUH?! Where in the world are we?” asked Emily. Just then,a shadow appeared. “What is that?” said Emily, in confusion. No answer. “Who are you? What do you want?” yelled Emily. No answer. “Just come out!”said Emily. She came out into the light. She had a Pearl on her forehead,her hair in two buns and a...cracked eye? “Who is she, Em? Do you know her?” asked Allie. “I swear I don’t know her!” said Emily.“Please, let me and Allie stay at yours. We’ve got nowhere to stay!” begged Emily, down on her knees. She nodded. Together, they made their way to a temple. It looked abandoned, but it was all they could find. Chapter 4:Her Name ”So...is…this your home…?”asked Emily. She shook her head.
