It was a winter’s morning when Nicola realised something strange. It was a peculiar morning, yet she didn’t understand why.
Nicola called her mum from her bedroom, but she got no reply. She tried a sekunde time, and even third time lucky. Yet Nicola still got no reply.
Finally, after a few dakika of what was an eerie silence, she jumped out of her kitanda and ran across to her mum’s bedroom. She flung the door open with such force that it made a loud bang, scaring herself at first for sure.
Nicola took a glance at the bed. It seemed as if no one had slept in it all night. The kitanda covers and sheets were neatly laid down, there wasn’t a single crease.
She walked back to her bedroom, worried and confused. Thoughts were racing around her mind as she tried to focus and concentrate. She picked up her dressing kanzu, gown when all of a sudden, her phone started ringing. She looked at the caller’s name. “Ella” she muttered to herself as she answered the phone.
“Hey Nicola” Ella said, rather happily too.
“Hi Ella, what wewe ringing me at this time for?” asked Nicola, curiously.
There was a silent pause for a few sekunde as Nicola patiently waited for Ella to reply.
“This morning, I woke up. My mum’s usually up before I am. I went downstairs… and no one was there!” Ella exclaimed, pausing for a moment. Ella went on to say, “Maybe our parents have… vanished?”
Ella had a huge grin on her face. At the other end of the phone, Nicola wasn’t too sure about that idea as it worried her a little. There was a long silence at first. After half an hour, Ella put the phone down after successfully reassuring Nicola that everything would be fine.
That same siku 1pm, Nicola and Ella decided to meet up at the park. They got there quite soon.
The park was silent; wewe could only just hear the whistling through the bushes and the trees.
Ella sat on a bench outside of the park and Nicola followed straight after her, sitting beside her. It was quite cold and frosty and the ice cold wind was blowing against the girls faces.
Nicola coughed. Then she alisema “What if what wewe alisema was true? Maybe all the adults in the country have really….vanished?!”
Ella thought for a moment. Then she smiled. She turned to Nicola as they both looked at each and grinned, as if kusoma each other’s thoughts.
After a few dakika of their silence, Ella suddenly said, “I have an idea.” She grinned, a big grin too.
“Go on, what is it?!” Nicola eagerly asked. She had her eyes locked on Ella, waiting for her reply. Her eyes were wide open.
“Let’s go take a look at the shops, down town! I know, I know, I know, wewe might not think it’s the most exciting thing in the world. But come on!” Ella replied, still grinning.
Nicola paused for a moment and had a think. She didn’t really like shopping, especially for clothes. She was definitely not one of the girly type. But Ella seemed to upendo it, for whatever reason.
