The Story of Electra

A Storm is Coming

As I looked out at the stars above my road, I wondered what my sister, Lucy, was doing. Lucy was always doing something that made me smile. Lucy was only 6 and was 1 year older that me. Lucy liked to boss me around, and I would always let Lucy anyways. I heard footsteps down the hall from the room. I acted like I was asleep. I knew that if my parents saw that I was awake, then I couldn't stay in Lucy's room.

Lucy's room always had the best view of the stars. As I heard the door open, I pretended to be asleep.

"It's alright Shelby, it's just me", I heard Lucy's sweet voice say. I peeked out of the covers. She came over to me and held out a small key.

"I got it, let's go", Lucy said to me, pointing to the locked window.

She opened the small window with the key she showed me. She squeezed through it and then pulled me through. When I stood up, I realized that we were on the roof. I squeezed Lucy's hand as hard as I could.

"It's alright, don't be afraid Shelby, your safe", Lucy said, squeezing my hand. We looked out at the stars for a while after that.

Lucy took me by the arm and carefully led me over to the side of the roof. I looked over the edge to find a ladder. Lucy went down it first, then she helped me down.

Lucy walked me down to the end of the street. We looked up at the stars to find a storm cloud. It started to rain and Lucy took me by the hands and spun me around. As we started to dance in the rain, we heard thunder, it made me jump.

"It's okay, it's just a little thunder", Lucy laughed as rain trickled down our faces. She started to run towards the house. I started to laugh and walk to her when I saw a streak of purple light burst around me. The last thing I heard was the sound of Lucy screaming my name.
