Two Worlds - Amber Knoernschild (novels to read in english TXT) 📗

Chapter 1


I was there sitting in class when I had a severe headache.It felt as if I were in two dimensions straddling between them. In one dimension I was in class with a severe headache not th inking about anything nut the fact that my headache might turn into a major migraine.But in the other dimension I was in the battle of my lifetime, The Civil War. I had just gotten shot in the leg, everyone was crowding around me. My eyes were so blurred I did not even notice my best friend. I felt woozy with the ledge ball wedged into my knee. The pain was horrid I couldn't stand it. But I wanted to make sure my ma knew I was here lying in the grass that felt as sharp as a knife.

When my pain went away. I was in a different dimension,at school, 10 years old in the fifth grade staring off into space my best friend nudging me telling me I was daydreaming but I couldn't believe her, it had felt so real. My ma not being there to help me made me almost cry, and the pain, the blood rushing down my shin it had all felt so real. It made me think god sent me there to realize something something special something I need to know.

Chapter 2

Once again I was in class bored when my side starts to hurt my vision goes blurry. Then its pitch black. At first I did not know what was happening but then my vision cleared up. I was in Jackson, Mississippi. I had just gotten nudged with a Union soldiers musket. It had hurt real bad. My side was achin' when I attempted to get up. I pulled up my uniform my side was swollen. It didn't look too bad.

I again attempted to get up, this time I did. I limped slowly along trying to follow a horse's hoof prints. I came upon a house, not wanting to go in, but my temptation got to me. I limped to the house. I got down on my knees by the window trying not to be noticed.

Inside there was a stout little woman sitting there staring at a picture of a young healthy looking man. She was cryin', tryin to hide it too. Her tears were un-controllable like a raging flood coming on. Thats when she saw me, she got up and i crouched down. She came out stood there staring for awhile.When eventually she said to me, "what do you want I ain't got notin' not even my son. You just go away. Don't destroy mu house that is the only idol III have left of him." I quickly stood up and started limping away still hurting on my side.That's when i fell to the ground my vision going faint. I blacked out. I was laying on the floor in my classroom, everyone gathered around me, it happened again. The Dimensions.

Chapter 3

I was in class studying hard. When I felt cold. As cold as an ice cube sliding down the snow my vision was blurry and I layed down on the floor. The room went black. I was feeling dizzy when I woke up. Some dark figure holding me close. It was the woman. She was layering me with blankets.I was cold from hypothermia."It had been a long day yesterday." The woman said, "I was mad, but when you started getin' ill I decided to take you in."

I was happy drinking boiling hot water to warm me up. The woman had saved my life and I was thankful. I was sitting in front of the fire warming myself slowly, so not to get shocked. It was winter and i was sure of it but I was scared because the marauders strike in the wintertime.

Chapter 4


There was banging on the door.The woman had a cupboard in the basement, she hid us in there. You could hear the marauders ransack her house. When there was silence we got out of the cupboard we sat at the fireplace thinking of what to do about the food and shelter of her home.

* * *

We decided to go out on our way to find shelter and food. We found an old shack abandoned by a Union soldier. There were two beds and a tin can to cook in. I settled there in the shack while the woman was searching for food to boil. She came back with a smile an her face and a killed wild turkey. I was happy to see her she cook and I mixed cans of spices that the woman had left in the house. The woman went to find something to cut the turkey with. There was a long silence until something in the bushes moved. It rustled as a Confederate soldier aimed his gun at me. I surrender and told him I was on his side. He must have not heard me because he fired. It hit me in the chest. I had a seizure i was twitching, bleeding , and gasping for air. My pain went away and I was in the nurse at school figuring that was the last and longest dimension change in my life. I know what god intended me to do and I will do it.
