Fiction: Group 2
and fell inside the dark hole. We heard each other screaming but we couldn't see
anything at all. No one knew how long it lasted for and how deep we fell.
After a period of time, it was very hard for us to open our eyes as a bright light was
strongly beaming at us. We were dropped on a carriage which was running so fast that
we couldn’t sit firmly.
I took out my smartphone and wanted to call for help. “Oh! Year 1729… March …
19…” I shouted.We were staring with our big eyes at the screen of the smartphone for a
long time. No one said anything.
“Shall we use the phone to call for help?” I broke the silence.But there was no network.
“Where are we? Check the GPS.” Ray panicked.
But the GPS wasn’t functioning. We were tensed and worried. Suddenly a group of
soldiers were running after our carriage. The soldiers were wearing strange clothes and
shooting at us with their rifles.
On the carriage, a child was staring at us. We asked him who he was and where we were
going to.
Beside the child, a man turned around andsaid in a stern voice, “I am a faithfulofficer Lu
Xiufu. The child, Emperor Bing, is Southern Song's little emperor. He is 8 years old.
We are runningfor our life. The Yuansoldiers are going to kill us. Who are you? Where
are you from?”
We hadn’t explained because we didn’t know why we were in Song Dynasty 1300 years
ago. The officer verified the direction with his compass and said, “We will escape
towards south direction and get in a boat to Hong Kong.”
“Don’t be afraid! We can leave.” Sophia cried.
“How?” Ray questioned astonishingly.
The bullet was flying above us. I hurriedly switched on my torch and beamed the light at
the soldiers. The soldiers stopped chasing us. No. It should be our carriage was moving
as fast as the light’s beam. The wind blew strongly on our faces. We passed through a
dark tunnel with blinking stars moving at the top. No one realized what had
happened.When we opened our eyes, we found that we were alive beside the same well
where we fell.
We gasped and said, “We came back. Right?” We anxiously looked from face to face.
“What an exciting adventure.” I gasped for breath.
“Do you think that it was only a dream?” asked Ray.
“I don’t think so.” said Sophia.
“Where is the little emperor?” I asked.
I looked at the watch. “It is still 2: 00 am.”
“Let’s go home.”said Sophia.
Then, the three children went back home. They didn’t tell anyone about the secret until
one day, they finished writing a short story about their adventure. The story was spread
not only to the whole city but also the entire world. The story is called Water Well
