FOREST'S FLYING ADVENTURE!! - Forest Ostrander (phonics reading books txt) 📗

There once was a girl named Forest. She has a special and unique thing for a young 17 year old girl. She could fly with her arms. Now, Forest never knew she could fly until one fateful day, a trip with her grandparent's Sandy and Marty Ostrander. They were being occompanied by by her step mother Nena, her mother Mindi, her father Ryan, her step dad Rich and her half-brothers and sister, Martin, Terry, Dakota and Sierra. Now, Forest never liked her step mother or father or step grandmother, yet she didn't mind her sister or brother. She did however, deasperatly love her mother, step father, grandfather and her two half-brothers, Terry and Dakota. As they were packing, Forest looked at her mother and she said
"Mom, do I really have to go on to this trip? Why can't I stay home with grandma and grandpa?"
"Now Forest, we have talked about this many times before. Your grandfather invited us all to attend such a special trip, and Paul and Brenda insisted upon you comming instead of staying home all the time," Mindi answered stearnly. Forest looked at her mother with pleasing eyes and hands folded together.
"But mother, I don't want to deal with Sandy or Nena or Ryan, I hate those guys," she said pleadingly,
"Tuff, you'll have to suck it up and stay vy us then," her mother said sternly once more, not having any crap from Forest about not going on the trip. Forest sighed, she had been defeated in battle and went back to packing, cursing all the time in her mind.

A few hours passed and Forest climbed into the car with her mother, step father, and half-brothers as they prepared one last time to make the trip to meet the others at the hotel. During the long and tiresome trip, Forest and Terry were messing around in the back seat while Dakota was asleep in his car seat when Terry stopped in the middle of their game to look at Rich,
"Dad, when exactly will we get there and what hotel are we staying at?" and Forest to looked at her parents with the same question lurking within her blue eyes, her short cut dirty blond hair blowing in the wind that was comming in the car through the windows,
"We are staying at the Plaza Hotel in Freankenstine city," Rich answered him. Forest and Terry both laughed at the name,
"Now guys, I know it is a wierd name, but it is a very old and ancient city and you will have a good time, besides, the hotel has a pool and hot tub." Mindi said, a bit tired from the trip still, and the yelling at Forest and Terry.
"I bet I can get to the hot tub before you can," she whispered in Terry's ear,
"Bet you cant, I'll beat you this time Forest, I have been working on my running skills," he whispered back, a bit firercly then he would like, but Forest just smirked.
"We'll see little brother, we'll see," she said evily. They were quiet the rest of the car ride. When the five cramped passengers made it to the hotel, Forest and Terry looked up at the huge brick building with a stone roof and stone windo frames and the American flag waving in the breeze on the top of the building, Forest then looked around her and she was in awe of the little neat trees and neatly trimmed bushes growing around it with a little pond full of Coy fish and a fountian with an angel blowing a horn with a stram of water comming out of the wide end, the flower beds had all sorts of flowers like daisy's, pansies, tulips and so on with bees and butterflies fluttering or buzzing from one flower to another, sipping it's nectar and pollinating the flower it landed on. The little bushes were a bloomed with beautiful red, pink, white and yellow roses, Everything was neatly trimmed and well kept for. Forest even heard the birds in the trees singing loud for the world or for people who want to listen to hear them, and Forest just stared, she was mezmerized by the beauty of everything and she took out her camera and snapped a few pictures of the beautiful scene before her,
"Wow, this is so beautiful!" she whispered mostly to herself. They were soon inturrupted by the others presence as Marty said "Hello Forest, so nice to see you once more,"
"Same goes for you grandpa," Forest said back just as cheerfully to her favorite grandfather, she did however give the others a smile, even though it was painful for her to do so, she figured that if she played nice, they wouldn't be so bad as they usually were, but when they did not return her smile back but gave her dirty looks, she frowned and gave one back, and to add more fuel to the fire, she flipped them off in the process with a wicked grin at the end. When they had all of their things together and unpacked from their cars, they headed into the lobby to get their room keys and headed up to their rooms. As they were walking through the hall ways, Forest stayed back a bit to look at the pictures on the walls, some were of flowers that were so pretty and others were of a beach with a sunset going on, but one picture stood out the most, it was of a girl in the air flying with nothing to hold her up but her arms spread out like a birds wings, and as she studied the picture, she felt something strange rise within her, almost as if she knew the girl and wanted to try it, so she pushed the feeling back down. When she was studying the picture, she had not noticed that she had stopped and the others were already in their rooms besides her sister Sierra who was making her way to Forest,
"Hello Sierra, you shouldn't be here, your mother would have a fit if she seen you hanging out with me," Forest siad, when she finally noticed her sister.
"I don't really care what she thinks, you are my sister and there is really nothing she can do about that, besides, I am just as interested in this photo as much as you are," she said happily. Forest looked at her,
"Oh really Sierra? I find that a bit hard to bealieve, this photo is like those of old war time photographys," Forest said skeptically to her sister, but Sierra ignored it, and Sierra said,
"She looks just like you Forest, that girl in the photo," and Forest looked back at her sister confused,
"You think so?" she said, Sierra nodded,
"I know so, and it is a bit creepy at how she does, don't you think?" Sierra said as she turned to Forest, Forest nodded,
"Yes actually, it is a bit creepy, but I wonder why, I mean, people couldn't fly back then could they? The tag below it dates back to 1964, and it is 2011 now," Forest said, more confused now then ever, Sierra smiled at her sister and laid a hand on her shoulder,
"Anything could be possible Forest if you bealieve, after all, isn't that what you tell me all the time? Anything is possible if I just bealieve? Well maybe it was the same back then to, and probably even now, you could probably be able to do that if you wanted to," Forest sighed, her sister was right, but she highly doubted that she would be stupid enough to even try to fly, it was just not possible, humans can't fly with just their arms without something to help them out in the air, so how was this girl able to do it? And why did she look so hauntingly familiar to her? Forest and Sierra stayed there for a while longer, looking at the picture and studying it when they heard their names being called by Forest's mother, so they snapped out of it,
"We better go before we get in trouble," Forest said, a little reluctent to leave the photo without figuring it out first. Sierra nodded,
"If your mother is calling for you, mine will soon be to," Sierra said while sighing. When Forest began to make her way to her room, Sierra grabbed her sleeve,
"I have news to tell you of what Nena was talking about," and Forest knelt down, starring into her sister's eyes,
"What did she say about me this time Sierra?" Forest asked curiously, Sierra matched her sister's gaze,
"She calls you a short haird blond jerk that should not be hanging out with us, expecially around Martin and I," Forest nodded,
"Thanks for the news Sierra," she said. Sierra nodded and they heard their names being called again and this time they went to their rooms. When everyone was fast asleep, Forest took one of the room keys to her room and headed out to the picture that she and Sierra were looking at before. As she studied the photo, imiges were comming back to her in her mind, she wasn't sure what she was seeing but she could feel the breeze, the joy of flying, the exilleration of fast falling and the sheer joy of flying back up before she hit the ground, and she was so into the movie playing in her mind that she did not notice the bag boy comming up behind her,
"She's beautiful isn't she?" he said, and Forest wheeled around frightened and holding her chest as her heart was beating wickid fast, a shocked and frightened look on her face, she then relaxed when she seen it was only the bag boy and she took even breaths to calm her racing heart and clear her mind once more,
"I'm sorry, but what did you say again?" she said, once her heart had calmed down some, but the boy didn't answer her, instead she was facing a really shocked and speechless boy and she wasn't sure why, so she waved her hand infront of his face,
"Hello? Anyone home?" she asked, a bit confused by the boys sudden reaction,
"Sorry, I just said she is beautiful," he said when he recovered from the sudden shock, and Forest looked back at the photo, a smile on her face,
"She is actually," she said happily, but then her face fell and she had that thinking look on,
"But I can't get over how much she looks like me, or is it that I look like her?" she said, still trying to organize the order in her mind,
"I know a tale to that photo, well it is more of a phrophacy really, but a tale none the less," he said, seeing Forest's confused reaction. Forest looked over at him,
"Really? Can you tell me it?" she asked, a bit eager to hear about the girl in the photo and maybe, just maybe, she might understand why they look so much alike, so they sat down across from the photo, leaning against the wall,
"Well, it was in 1964," the boy began, and Forest got comfertable and listened,
"My great, great, great grandfather was a little boy, he was always into dreaming up crazy things and told wonderful stories. When he turned 17, he wrote his first book about a girl who could fly with her arms like a bird. He wrote that she was the only one of her kind and she had 5 friends who also knew her secret, along with her mother,"
