It was two o'clock in the morning on a Friday.It was a stormy night with thunderstorms,rain and wind. I was with my sister Britany sleeping in our beds. We were feeling really cold.
All of a sudden Britany came next to my bed and woke me up. Britany told me that she was hearing strange sounds. I heard them too and we stayed together in my bed feeling very scared. Every sound was terrible and hair-raising. Even the most common and normal sounds. We heard sounds like someone looking for something in the kitchen drawers. We thought there was a burgler. We needed to call the police but the telephone was in the kitchen.
Last week I was at home with my sisters Gabriella and Maxine.We were playing football in the kitchen.Maxine kicked the ball and she hit the kettle I was preparing to drink tea.
In less than a minute fire started spreding and there was no fire blanket or something to put out the fire.My mobile was upstairs.Because of the fire I couldn't go upstairs easily so I went down again to fetch the phone.But I wasn't concentrating because of my other sisters.So I phoned the firemen.
When the firemen came I was in the balcony for fresh air shouting.They saw me first and I was safe.After they found my eldest sister Gabriella but Maxine was still missing.Then all of a sudden I saw Maxine safe and sound .I couldn't believe my eyes.
From this frightening experience I learned not to not playing with the ball in the kitchen especially when the kettle is on.For Maxine the best thing was that teddy wasn't burned!!!
