The sky was as bright as the shimmering sun, the clouds flowed by – every thing was perfect. We were taking our dog Max, our chocolate brown Labrador, for a walk, along the top of the sunny beach. “I want to hold the lead!” I shouted.
“No you’re too young!” exclaimed Josh, my older brother.
“Please,” I yelled.
“No!” Josh answer back.
The clouds turned black; the rain poured down. I dropped my teddy bear; I went to see where he fell – then, all of a sudden…..

“Help me!” I screamed as loud as I could.
“I’ve got you!” Josh shouted as he held tightly onto my arm.
The mighty waves climbed the daring cliff .The jagged rocks dug into my back.

Max began to run as fast as lighting – where was he going? “Max come back,” Josh yelled, but Max slowly faded into the fog. “I’m scared of heights,” I said tearfully.

“Look over there, there’s Max,” screamed Josh with joy.! Max was with some people; there were about 50 years old, both with no hair. What were they doing? “One, two, three, pull!” they exclaimed. They started pulling me up from the awkward position. “Let’s call your dad to come and collect you,” said one of the men.

It was a gloomy day with dark clouds hanging from the misty sky. As we slowly walked down the narrow path, we could see the edge of the cliff. My senses tickled me, maybe something was going to happen, was it going to happen to me or my sister?
As my dog was pulling hard on the lead, my sister decided she wanted to have the lead. I knew if I gave her the lead she wouldn’t have enough strength to hold on to it, so I said no. Of course, my annoying younger sister wasn’t happy. So she started to shout at me ragefully. In anger my sister threw her beloved teddy near the edge of the cliff .She ran crying towards the teddy. I ran as quickly as I could towards her, but got slowed down by the winds getting stronger and stronger. As my sister picked up the dampened teddy she slipped; luckily she grabbed on to a rock. I wanted to help her but ungovernable terror gripped me and stuck me to the ground. Thoughts ran wildly in my head. Could this be the disaster I could sense?

I sprinted back home with the dog to our house and told mum. When we got back my mum cuddled my petrified sister. After that we promised we would never argue again, I also told her there would be a nice surprise when she got back.

It was a cloudy, stuffy day as we strolled along the magnificent landscape; the cliffs were as white as chalk as the wind propelled the sea against the cliffs. The sun sang a soft melody as it hung in the sky – it shone straight through the soft, thin layer of water and to the depths, where life was hard to spot. We were there walking our dog, Jacob, on that summers morning. We were just tiptoeing along the cliff tops when my sister Jenny, decided she wanted to hold Jacobs long, black lead. I didn’t like this so we almost started playing tug of war over it. So, for fun I let go, her sweaty hands slipped off the lead and she was left hanging, yes hanging on the cliff edge …

She was screaming like an old train tooting its horn, it nearly burst my ear drums. Why was the weather changing? The sky was going a light reddish colour like a devil in the sky, and then the rain came. Jacob ran off, we didn’t know where but my muscles had to be strong to hold her. I felt exhausted just thinking about it. Then I saw Jacob coming back with, what looked like a women. Before we knew it, they were upon us. Next thing we knew a lifeguard in a speed boat was below Jenny, she climbed down the rocks and clambered into the boat. She was taken to hospital.

On the way to visit her I looked at my arm it looked twice the size it was. I gave some flowers to her, and she said “you can hold the lead in future!” The doctor told me she’d be fine in about two weeks, we promised we’d never fight again, but did I mean it…
