New York at last!
Last night, we arrived and visited so much. Times Square was so grand, you would think you could fly up
to the top. The colors brought so
much life in the night. The Empire
State building rose so high above our little car, you had to squish your face
against the window to see the top.
It seemed so majestic.
Today,
we are visiting the Statue of Liberty.
From where we are, it seems as big as a thumb. We were lucky to get onto the boat just before it started to
rain, and not wait outside. We
were allowed to go to the top! Not
up to the headdress, but up through the arm! I was VERY excited until a crazily strong wind pushed
against the arm, while we were in it.
I heard a crack beneath us, and the floor tilted vertically. We fell through the air and the
whipping of the wind on us mixed with the sound of our screams, creating a
beastly sound. The sea started to
get closer dramatically. My family
and I had nothing to save us. Panic
rushed through my veins.
Automatically,
my arm reached into my pocket and before I realized what I did, I found myself
facing Benjamin Franklin again in the printing shop I saw him in before. He
looked up at me as if I had done something really deceiving.
He
spoke, "Ariana."
I
thought his glare would turn me into ashes if he could, "Y-yes?"
"The
next time you use the ring, you might even go back an entire month. After, a year maybe, and then a lifetime. Give me the ring now. Right now, you will go back to the
beginning of your trip. If you
give the ring to me now, I will try to make you go back only one day. Don't you want to live your life? Give me the ring now."
"The
ring has saved me twice now. Who
knows what sickness I could have caught without it? I would also have died falling from the Statue of Liberty. Give me some time."
"You
will regret it," he disappeared and I was back in the car driving around
New York at night. Benjamin
Franklin was kind and allowed me to go back only until last night. I think he wanted me to think of his
proposal.
