A cool breeze lifted off the waves and struck Ella’s face. She walked along the edge of the beach, where the water met the sand, desperately trying to dodge each wave that crashed ever so close to her feet. Ahead of her, seagulls were fighting over something. Ella rushed over to where the seagulls were perched, sending a flock of birds screaming and squawking into flight and then landing back on the ground only meters away. Ella was amused by this and continued to chase them around until she had not even the slightest bit of energy left, falling to a heap on the ground. Ella was seven, but her maturity was well past anyone her own age. She loved to read, and was currently reading 'The Hobbit,' and just before you say, 'that's impossible' …show more content…

At that moment I thought it would have been the end of Ella, nothing I could do would save her, I couldn’t reach for her and move her away from the quicksand because I couldn’t physically touch her, and I couldn’t call for help because to everyone but Ella I was invisible, unnoticed, inexistent.

She complained. ‘Why did you tip water on me?’ she said. ‘Because you were asleep and you weren’t waking up.’ ‘Thanks for that,’ she said sarcastically. There was silence for a good couple minutes until finally Ella spoke ‘where exactly are we?’ She said. I looked at her not knowing what to say, ‘would you believe me if I said we’re lost.’ She stared in disbelief and then sat down, ‘don’t you think it’s getting a bit dark,’ she said. I led her to the shelter that I had created before it got dark. ‘Now we can sleep,’ I said with excitement. ‘But I don’t want to sleep, I want to stay up ALL NIGHT LONG,’ Ella complained. ‘I know you do, and so do I… But we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow, flying and all, and you should probably get some rest, I know I will
