The Magic in Desert
Dulwich College Beijing, Julia Lee, Fiction: Group 2
T
he sky was yellow, the sand storm was attacking Gobi desert again. It was no different
than other days. But it felt little different. Well, usually the sand storm was covering
Tassana’s friend, Cotria’s house but Tassana could see her house very clearly. But still,
Tassana’s mum wouldn’t let her out. “Mum, I think the sand storm is such an evil
monster creeping around the desert. Um, what I’m just try to ask is, um, Pretty please, can I go
to Cotria’s house?” begged Tassana. “Tassana, I can’t hear you!” Tassana’s mum yelled from the
kitchen. Tassana knew it was going take time but still she needed to beg. Because her best friend
Cotria told her they have to practice the music. Tassana ran to kitchen in a hurry. “Mum can I go
to Cotria’s house? Its right beside ours.” said Tassana. “Well, looks like someone wants to slip in
tornado.” Answered mum, still concentrating to cut vegetables. “But mum, it’s no more farther
than half a meter.” Begged Tassana. “And I don’t wany to spend my whole life feeling dizzy
in tornado! No one want to, I guess. Besides, I need to practice music with Cotria and Kaci…!”
“Hey, shush!” yelled Setice, Tassana’s big sister. ”What in world has gotten in to you? Shut up
that little mouth Tassana!” Tassana ignored her. It was no good to fight with her sister anyway.
“Mum, please~~~~” begged Tassana. “HEY, PEST! SHUT THAT MOUTH I SAID!” “I’M NOT A
PEST AND YOU’RE SO BOSSY!” argued Tassana “Setice, that’s rude thing to say to your sister.
And since you seem to have a little problem with Setice you can go to Cotria’s house. But back
by 7 o’clock Tassana.” Tassana nodded and made face to Setice and ran for a door. “I’ll get you
for this, little ratty!” shouted Setice behind her. Tassana ran out or she would get thrashed her
cheeks. The wind was cold. It slapped on her dark smooth skin. She wrapped herself tight with
a sash, that her friend Delia gave her when she was moving to California. Finally, she reached
Cotria’s house. It seemed it was very far away even it was so close. When she held up her hand to
knock on the door, she suddenly realized that the practice was on Saturday. She turned around
and walked back. Suddenly she discovered a silver tornado coming her way. She gasped and ran
fast as she could to Cotria’s house. Just then Cotria and Kacine opened the door. They came out
don’t knowing what would happen next. They didn’t realized the tornado. “Tassana! What are you
doing here? It’s cold outside.” Kacine said, closing the door. “The, the, to, tor, tor,” said Tassana
in a shock. “What?” “The, the, TORNADO!!!” Kacine realized the tornado, “ARRRRRRRRGH!!!”
he screamed. They tried to open the door, but it was too late. The tornado wrapped around them.
They spun and spun. And before they faint, Tassana opened the eyes. It wasn’t a normal tornado.
It was showing everyone’s remembrances. Tassana tried to think about what they were but she
stopped. It was too hard to think. Then just one screen got bigger and bigger and they fell then
they closed their eyes. When they woke up, they were lying in somewhere in Gobi desert. It was
boiling. They stood up and found a tree shade in 2 hours. They lied down and rested themselves.
It was silence for a short time. “Where are we?” Cotria started talking. “I don’t know, but I’m sure
that it’s somewhere in the desert.” Answered Kacine. “Guys, I don’t think that’s a normal tornado”
”Yeah, it’s one that blew us to another bit of desert,” Kacine said giggling, than he pretended
he was the tornado, “Your honor, majesty. ” Than he fell down laughing so hard that he spat on
Cotria, “Hey, quit it!” ”Oh guys, I mean I saw everyone’s remembrances in the storm. They were
are happy. Then their smile disappeared the same time. What do you think that means?” Said
