Chapter 2: The Storm

 

Waking up the next morning I dressed in a pair of Jeans and a black Tank-top. I went down the few steps to the kitchen and grabbed an apple from the bowl that was sitting on the counter. Taking A bite I went down stairs and around the trunk of the tree to my office. I grabbed a water proof leather bag and put a few odd things it it like: a notebook, pen, pencil, compass, Book, lighter, and the map that held the location of Atlantis. I then made my way upstairs again and went to my room where I grabbed another Bag that was Leather and water proof and put the smaller bag with the map inside it. I then grabbed a few changes of clothes and made my way down stairs. I went out the back door and spread my wings from my back. I then hefted the bag over my shoulder and took off into the sky.

 

When I was up in the air I had to be Careful, For I might get spotted by some one down below so I flew up in the clouds. I still had to be Careful Because of the airplanes. I had a few incidents where I almost crashed into a few birds. But other than that everything went by perfectly. I had been sensing a storm brewing up late in the Afternoon so I had been on the look out for any kind of shelter. I heard a clap of thunder and Just as I felt the first few droplets of Water, I spotted a cave in the side of a nearby mountain. Diving down I just managed to just get in the cave before the real downpour came. Inside their was a pile of dry wood, that looked like it had been there for years. I made a little fire using the wood and the lighter I brought with me.

 

I plopped down on the ground and sat there. I also had brought some fruit with me, so I grabbed an apple and bit into it. looking outside of the cabe I saw an unfriendly sight. Lightening bolts cracked the sky and winds had started to pick up. The wind was howling outside and you just saw the out line of a tree go whizzing by.
*I'm glad I found shelter before the storm hit or else I would have been killed.* I thought and rested my back aganist the Wall.

 

I had pulled my wings in when I had landed. Sighing I turned on my side and slowly drifted into a light sleep. I woke with a start when Lightening Cracked right next to the cave. I jumped into the air and looked outside.The Storm was turning into a Hurricane. I took a chance and poked my head outside. Wind buffeted my face and water sprayed my face as I saw that most of the surrounding scenery had been destroyed by the winds. Pulling my head back in I sat down on the stone floor and looked around. I noticed that the Cave went on farther than I had imagined. Go I grabbed a nearby piece of wood and stuck it in the Fire. Pulling it out I traveled down in to the cave. The farther I went in the cave, the steeper the path got, until I had to bring my wings out incase I fell. Luckily I din't have to use them. I looked around and held the torch higher above my head. The room was littered with Riches: Gold, Silver, ruby, emerald, bronze, sapphire, everything You could emagine. Smiling I spread my wings and flew back to the entrance of the cave, grabbed a small bag and flew back down.

 

I landed on the ground and picked up a piece of everything. I tied the bag shut and then flew back to the top.I then put hte small bag in sideof hte bigger bag and pulled out the notebook and pencil. I then marked the location of the Cave on the map So I would n't forget where it was. Looking Outside I saw that they Storm had Quit for a while, but I wasn't fooled, I was in the Eye of the storm. So I Put the notebook and Pencil back into the bag and hid the bag underneath me As I layed down for some rest. I soon fell asleep next to the burning coals.
