The flight. My name is Flare Atlantis?! The chase Betrayed? Caught? Or not?
Chapter 1 ' the flight'
ZZ..zzz..zZZ.the..zzzzz..zz..plane.z...zzz.zzz.(radio communication) "Colin, can you hear me? Colin? Hello! Colin! Damn it! The plane was just above the Bermuda triangle when the line got cut!" George yelled at the navigators. "3 planes, 5 jets and 1, ship have already gone missing." One of the navigators said. "Ugh! It's of no use! The best option is to close all means of traveling to Miami!" Another navigator said. "Hmmm.....maybe, that's the only option left, its for our people's safety, let's go and tell the headquarters about this." George said.
George went to the headquarters and informed them about what happened. "Yes, that's the only option." Said the minister. "Ok....so....?" George asked. "Close all the means of transport to Miami and call the reporters, we have to give another excuse, the people won't believe us saying 'flights have disappeared." Said the minister with a frown on his face.
The reporters came and the minister made a whole new tale about the incident. "That is excellent information!" said a reporter with a sneer on his face. "ok, off you go!" The minister said with a look of disgust. "I know that the people won't even dare to doubt us, minister! you are an excellent storyteller!" George exclaimed. "Yes, and thank you, I was always first in class in storytelling !" The minister said he was really satisfied with the job he did.
But then, a person came rushing into the room. "What's the matter, Robin?" Asked the minister. "Sir......sir many people are asking for proof of the incident!" Said Robin with a tense look on his face "Ohhhh.... That's easy, just take a scene from a movie in which a plane's remains are seen from the ocean." The minister said. "Ok, sir that will be done." Robin said with a sigh of relief. "This time the people won't doubt us because we will have given them solid proof!" George said with a grin. But they didn't know that there was a girl in Florida who would not believe them and be their Challenger.
Chapter 2 'my name is Flare'
"Ugh! Why isn't mother answering my call?!" Flare exclaimed frustrated from trying again and again. "Let me see the News and check what's the situation". Mr Roberts (flare's father) said. "'Flight 19 has crashed near Miami – no sign of survivors here is the proof of the incident'." The reporter said while displaying a photograph on the screen.
"Nooooo!" Flare screamed with tears in her eyes. "What's the matter flare?" Her father asked. "That....that....that was the same flight in which mother was there." After saying this she started sobbing uncontrollably. "Hmmmm..... No don't worry, I know that she is safe." He reassured her. " Ok, I believe you." Flare said while wiping off her tears.
"But first let me do some research about this because I don't trust these people." Flare said to herself under her breath. "Dad I am going to my room, I don't want to have dinner". Flare said. "You can go to your room but you have to have dinner." Her father said. "Fine!" Flare said.
She went to her room switched on her laptop opened Google and searched 'news on plane crashes, oil spills and other incidents near Miami'. "Wait, what! 3 planes,5 jets and 1 ship have similar accidents and all of them have occurred at the same spot! The Bermuda triangle!" Flare exclaimed "The Bermuda triangle is the most mysterious place on earth." Flare thought to herself. Then she realised that something in the newsletter was weird. "This ship is familiar, hey! It is the same ship from the movie 'the battle'!" Flare exclaimed. "These politicians are total cowards!" Flare said as anger was bubbling inside her. "And now there is no way of going to Miami when all the means of transport have stopped going there. I have to find the navigators who had controlled the airway from Florida to Miami!" Flare said to herself.
After this, an Idea struck her "why don't I ask Father to take me to uncle George's house, father and uncle George are good friends after all.." flare went downstairs and asked her Father "dad can you take me to uncle George's house tomorrow?" "I am sorry flare, I have some work tomorrow, I cannot meet that fool !" Mr Roberts exclaimed with anger bubbling inside. "Ummm...dad did you have a row with uncle George?" Flare asked innocently. "None of your business flare. Go to bed now!" Her father yelled at her. "Fine! I am going!" Flare yelled.
She raced upstairs and jumped onto her bed and fell asleep... Then suddenly she had a dream no, it was more like a vision in which she saw a city which was under the water! And then she saw something else – it was a plane, with the letters 'flight 19' etched on it. After that, she saw many people who had blue colour skins and one of them was about to attack her! Then suddenly she woke up with a start. Her face was sweaty and her heart was hammering. After this, she went downstairs to drink some water to make her feel better when she heard her father speaking to someone, flare went and started eavesdropping on the conversation-it went like this;
"I am telling you that the Bermuda triangle is situated above Atlantis!" Mr Roberts yelled. "Atlantis!? Are you a 2 year old to imagine the legendary city of Atlantis under the Bermuda triangle?" Someone said with a high pitched laugh. "Minister we cannot hold all the means of travelling to and from Miami for long, I am sure the people of Miami will start protesting." Someone else said; flare understood that this was a meeting between her father, the minister and uncle George. "Roberts tell me information on which people will believe! And until you give me good information you will be far away from your daughter. And don't be smart or her life will be in danger." The minister said. "Don't do anything to my daughter, please! I will give you good information as soon as possible." Said Mr Roberts with fear in his voice. "Ok Roberts I will give you 4 days, and if you don't give me information in that timespan, say goodbye to your daughter!" The minister said laughing. Then suddenly she heard footsteps coming from the room, she then tiptoed to her room and pretended to be asleep. Then she heard the minister say, "go and meet your daughter and tell her that you have some important work to do and that you will return in a few weeks".
Her father came upstairs and said, Flare get up I want to tell you something, flare! Flare then pretended to wake up with a start, what? What happened, father? She asked. Her father recited the same thing to flare, said goodbye and went down. When flare was sure that they all left and that no one was at home she got up went to her father's study and surveyed everything including all of his notes. Then she got to work she started to complete her father's incomplete research.
Chapter 3 'Atlantis?!'
The biggest task for flare was that she had to complete her father's research in just four days. and she knew that she cannot complete the research alone. So she went to her best friend, rosette. Rosette was a girl with short blonde hair and blue eyes. Hey, rosette! I need your help! Flare exclaimed when she went to rosette's house. What help do you want flare? Rosette asked. I just need you to help me complete my research about.. about..... Atlantis. Flare said lowering her voice to a whisper. Atlantis?! Flare you know that Atlantis doesn't exist! Rosette said laughing. Are you my friend or not?! Flare said as her anger was rising like wildfire. Yes I am your friend but.... Will you help me or not? Flare cut her short. Yes I will help you. Rosette said. Ok....so tell your mom that you are going to stay in my house for four days. Ok? Flare said. ok, coming in a minute! Rosette said. After that rosette packed her things and went to Flare's house and they both immediately started working on the research which they named 'the legend'. So if we have to complete this research we need artefacts that give us a hint of an ancient civilization under the sea. Flare said. So our first stop is the museum! Said Rosette. They both sat in a public bus and went to the only historical museum in Florida there they saw beautiful statues and wonderful paintings. Hey flare look at that manuscript rosette said while pointing at a book on a table.
Let me take it , it might help us in our research. After this they both went home and flare started to flip through the pages of the manuscript when rosette said flare come lets have dinner and sleep I am really tired. Ok. Flare said and after this they both slept in Flare's room. Then suddenly it happened again, the vision. This time flare saw a spear rotating and she heard someone say 'you are nearly there'. Flare got up and wondered what is this ? And to what am I nearly there? She saw the time and it was still 3 in the morning. So she lied down and tossed and turned but couldn't sleep. She then finally took the manuscript and started reading it. Then she noticed something, it was the same spear which she saw in her dream! Now she felt totally awake, so she went and resumed the research. She first tried to decipher the words from the front cover, it took her nearly 4 hours to decipher them. And the end product was worth it. The word which she deciphered was Atlantis. She was totally stunned by this. So she went and woke up rosette and said, rosette I have deciphered a word! So?! Let me sleep peacefully! Rosette yelled at her and went back to sleep. Ugh! It's so annoying! Flare said and went back to her father's study. Only 2days are left and I still have to decipher the location of Atlantis. Flare said to herself. I even have to create some not-so-dangerous weapons for defence.
So she first started to design her weapon which was a gun, but the bullet inside it would only make the person unconscious for 7 hours. After that she started building her weapon, it was ready in a few hours. Till that even rosette woke up. And flare also thought of hiding all her designs and keeping the 'rover 4000' in her bag. She named her weapon so people won't know that she had them. After This rosette said, flare I have a party to attend. Ok. Flare said with a sigh. Now she was alone again. She then remembered the night when that wicked minister took her father away, her father had said it, he had said the exact location of Atlantis! But unfortunately, flare couldn't remember the exact spot. So she started to rummage between her father's notes but it was of, no use. She couldn't find it. and when she checked the time she thought that the time was sprinting away! It was seven in the evening and rosette came back at eight. So.....did you enjoy the party? Oh! It was amazing. Rosette said. And I am too tired.. so I am going to sleep. Rosette said with a pause. Ok goodnight. Flare had dinner and went to sleep.
Again, she had the vision, it was the same voice and the rotating spear. But this time the voice said – just a small step and you are there. Now flare had enough of this, and she woke up. What step? I totally, literally don't understand! Flare said to herself feeling frustrated. Then suddenly she heard some sound coming from the hall, she took her backpack and went down then suddenly someone said you're trapped! She understood that this was uncle George. What are you going to do? Flare asked. The minister couldn't wait so he threw your father into jail and I am here to kill you! He said laughing. Flare took out her rover 4000 and then George suddenly screamed ' fire!' A few bullets grazed her shoulder and a few nearly miss her. So flare ran into the nearest room and jumped out of the window then climbed up to her room. She then woke rosette and then both of them went down with a ladder which was there in Flare's room.
Then uncle George came out of the house with his henchmen and said furiously there she is! Don't leave her! Then flare took aim from her rover 4000 and shot each person, uncle George screamed, you fools! Don't leave her! And you miss Roberts don't think that guns are toys! Flare then took a smoke bomb and threw it right at uncle George and yelled at him, you coward! You donkey! You stupid! Leave my father alone and I will leave you! And then she took rosette's hand and ran. Rosette was totally shocked. When they reached the forest flare said, rosette we cannot rest until we go inside. Inside?! Are you serious flare! Rosette asked as if she was about to faint. Yes I am serious! Now come-on! Flare said. They went into the forest and searched for a spot to spend their night. Then flare put up a foldable tent and then she went to find some edible berries.
Then she remembered something, she remembered the exact spot of Atlantis! I know! Its the Bermuda triangle! Flare exclaimed with excitement. She took some berries and ran to her tent and told rosette. Rosette, Atlantis is situated under the Bermuda triangle! Ohhhh... So the research is over? Rosette asked. No silly, we have to go to Atlantis. Flare said ok! Rosette said feeling frustrated. So let's sleep now ,we have to leave for Miami tomorrow. After that the vision came again, this time she saw the same city which she saw before, and no one attacked her and the city was more welcoming. And then the voice said, you are there, you just need come here in reality. I have already given you a glimpse of the city. Flare woke up and saw the time, it was still five in the morning. She then understood everything about the vision, she had got all her answers. The city which saw in her dreams was Atlantis, and the voice was leading her to it.
She then woke up rosette and told her- we are leaving for Miami right now! What? Flare it's still five in the morning! Rosette said. So? Come on we have to leave. She then dragged rosette out of the tent and removed every single trace of her and rosette's. Then they both walked and walked through the forest. Throw your phone rosette, we don't want to be tracked down. Flare said. Flare you are going
in extremes! If you go on like this I might have a nervous breakdown! Rosette exclaimed. I promise that I will buy you one after I complete my research. Saying this she threw her phone and rosette followed suit. The other side was also at work, uncle George had found out that flare had stayed in the forest the previous night, so he went to the forest and searched every single place, finally he found Flare's and rosette's phones. Rosette's was broken but Flare's was in perfect condition. He switched it on, and a message displayed on the screen 'can't find me you stupid! Leave my father alone and I will leave you.' This angered George so much that he cracked the screen of the phone. And then he screamed you won't survive when I am given a task in which I am an expert 'you fool' miss Roberts!
Chapter 4 'the chase'
Flare and rosette had rested in the forest for some time when rosette said- I am going to check if there is any danger out there. Ok. Flare said. Then suddenly rosette screamed, flare armed herself with her rover 4000 and went to the place where rosette was standing and in front of her was a Jaguar and it was ready to pounce on them! When a boomerang came from nowhere and hit the Jaguar straight on its face. It yowled with pain and ran into the woods then a girl came rushing to them. She had hazel brown eyes and black hair and she was dressed up like a cowboy just her shoes were Snickers. Hey are you okay? The girl asked. Woah! Thank you so much! Rosette said. What's your name my name is flare and this is rosette. Flare said. Nice to meet you flare and rosette ,My name is Nori. The girl said. Nice to meet you Nori. Flare and rosette said together. Where do you stay? Flare asked. Me? I stay in a nearby village. Nori said. We are here for completing our research on Atlantis. Rosette said. Atlantis? Can I please join you? Please? Nori pleaded flare. The more the merrier, of course Nori! Flare said.
The village elders know a lot about Atlantis. Saying this Nori sniggered. Flare felt uneasy around Nori so she said that she would speak to the village elders about Atlantis. She went to the village elders and told them everything bit by bit then the village elders said, Atlantis? I see.... Can you show me the book? Ok. Saying this she gave the book to them. And they started to scan the book then one of the oldest and wisest village elder spoke. Oh! Yes you are right! This book is related to Atlantis! And you said that you were having strange visions right? This means you are the one who is going to fulfil the prophecy of Atlantis! What? Flare said looking totally puzzled. Yes you heard it right, let me read the prophecy of Atlantis to you. Another village elder said and then flare immediately took out a notebook and a pen and started writing down the prophecy. It went like this-
"There once will be a danger, a danger to Atlantis. Which no one can stop except the great warrior, who doesn't know anything about Atlantis. She will be born on the end of April and she will be wise, brave and courageous. Oh great warrior if you are reading this go and find the centre of dangers there you will find Atlantis."
Then flare said- "I am born in the end of April but I am not sure if I am wise, brave or courageous." "Yes you have all these qualities." The elders said. "Ok." Flare said trying to understand everything. "And the spear which you saw will be the destroyer and the saviour of Atlantis." Said the wisest village elder. "I'm sorry but I seriously don't understand anything." Flare said. "Oh, you will get to know everything". The elders said. Then a villager came running and said-
"some people are threatening us, they are asking to handover the girl." " Me?" Flare asked. "Yes". the villager said. "Ugh!Those people want me dead!" Flare exclaimed. "We will not let that happen, because you are the saviour of Atlantis! And if Atlantis gets destroyed the ocean floor will collide with Atlantis and cause havoc on land. It will look as if a mars sized asteroid has hit the Earth!" The village elders said. Flare just didn't understand how she became a great warrior but still everything was in her hands. "I must go, and I am taking Nori with me." Flare said. "Bless you my dear, may you succeed". The elders said. Flare ran outside and dragged rosette and Nori into the jungle and grabbed her bag pack and together they all went deep into the woods. Flare let's rest , I am tired. Nori said.
Oh, of course you will get some rest after I kill that naughty Little Roberts! A voice came from behind a bush. Then flare immediately armed herself with her rover 4000 and shot the person who was there behind the bush. She then heard some voices. Boss! Boss! What happened? Charlie bring the first aid kit! Aye! Aye! Captain ! Said another voice. Flare understood that they were George's henchmen, so flare chose the right moment and threw another of her fantastic smoke bombs. Then she rosette and Nori ran and ran, we're here! Rosette rejoiced when she spotted the coast. The Bermuda triangle is approximately 5698km away.flare said. What?! Nori asked. Yes. Now let's go and eat something appropriate. Flare said. so are you expecting free food? Rosette asked feeling irritated. No, I don't! I have some money with me. Flare said. But rosette was busy chatting with Nori about different kinds of cosmetic companies. Flare was not much interested in those girly talks, so she just stormed into a cafe and ordered some Frankie rolls for them. While she was eating her breakfast she was daydreaming of her being an amazing scientist who was getting the Nobel prize. Then suddenly, the waitress pointed a gun at her! Hands up! And surrender!
The waitress said. Flare then pushed the waitress off threw some money on the counter and dashed out with rosette and Nori. What was that?!rosette said while panting. Flare! I know that you are taking us on a journey with no proper planning and goal! Nori fumed. You know what! You people are the worst friends anyone can ever have! You just keep chitchatting and don't just listen to me! Flare started. After saying this flare couldn't control herself and she stormed off to a deserted place on a nearby hill. Oh dear! Look ! This poor Roberts is sad! Came an evil voice from behind. Huh?! Who are you !? Flare exclaimed immediately arming herself with her rover 4000. Me? Oh don't you recognise me? Said the person while cackling like a witch. Show yourself! If you have the guts! Flare said as she felt braver by every second. Finally a man with a rather pale complexion came out, I am here to kidnap you and take you to Harold! Said that person.
Uh, uh you can't do that! Flare said shaking her head. The person immediately shouted don't leave that girl! How dare she insult me! Is that insulting? Saying this she ran back down the hill with those people shouting catch her! Rosette! Nori! We have to go! Flare exclaimed. Where? Rosette asked. To the harbour! Flare shouted. This is totally pointless! Yelled Nori. So you want to come or not Nori! Flare shouted back. If my best friend is going then I'm coming! Nori said rather annoyingly. Best friend? Flare thought loudly. Yes! Rosette said. Hearing this flare felt her heart sink, rosette and flare were best friends since they were little toddlers, and now rosette has got a new best friend! Ok ! Come lets go! Flare said while suppressing a sob. There she is! Said the person. Yes there she is John! Said a women. Oh no! Come fast! Come on! Flare shouted. But rosette and Nori didn't listen.
Chapter-5 "betrayed?"
Come-on you both! Flare exclaimed. No we won't! Nori yelled. Why? Are you gone out of your mind? Flare asked fuming. Hands up! Rosette said pointing her own rover 4000 at her. You are surrounded! The person named John said. You were on their side since that time? Flare asked feeling shocked. Yes, didn't you notice? Rosette said laughing. But... But you are my best friend! Flare said feeling sad. I was! Rosette said. She then shot flare. Flare then saw darkness total darkness...she woke up feeling rather drowsy. How could rosette do that? Flare thought to herself. Or was it a dream? After saying this she pinched herself hard on the back of her hand. Ouch! No it isn't. Flare said feeling rather down. She examined her surroundings, huh?! Seems like I am in some prison. Oh! There she is! Finally you have gotten up! Boomed a voice. Whoa?! Who's there? Flare said. Harold the great-est of course! Said the voice. Who said that you are great ?! You are that stupid wicked brainless minister! Flare exclaimed with anger burning inside. How dare you?! Said Harold. Oh yes I dare! Flare replied with All her courage. Shoot her! She is useless! Harold boomed.
And then a bullet came towards her and another and another! Flare did some gymnastic moves and dodged them. And then Harold opened the gates of the prison. You are doing too much Roberts! George said. Oh! So you finally caught up with me! Flare teased. Shoot her you idiots! George yelled. Flare ran straight at the source where the voice was coming from and bumped into George. Oh so you have come to me by yourself! George said. I never give up! I know my friends are out there and they will help me! I still trust them! Flare said shaking with rage. They are not your friends! And what do you mean by friendship? It's just blocking your path to success! It just pulls you down! Friendship is just a fancy word for trouble! George yelled. No! I don't believe a single word you said! Nothing is powerful than the magic of friendship! Flare yelled and kicked George on the stomach. Ouch! Catch her you nincompoops! George shouted.
They immediately started firing and flare dodged all of them by simply kicking the person who fired it. When everyone in the room were knocked down, She started to search the exit. Then suddenly, the alarm system got activated. The prisoner is running away! Nori screamed. Rosette! Flare shouted. Nori was pointing a gun at rosette. Leave her alone you spy! Flare screamed at Nori. So you finally understood it! Nori said laughing. This angered flare so much that she started to fight with Nori and the other henchmen. Nori what you are doing is wrong. You are my friend! Flare said. No I am not! Friendship is nothing! It is useless! Its just something which hurts you mentally! Nori shouted back. Flare chose the right moment and ran with rosette. where is the exit rosette? Flare asked. Follow me and be careful with the guards. Rosette said. Flare followed rosette and soon they were outside in no time. I am so sorry flare. I just got carried away, because the minister said that he would give me funding for opening a band! I just couldn't resist it. please forgive me flare. Rosette said sobbing. Its ok rosette. Flare said. First we have to go and save Atlantis! Flare said with a pause. We have to disguise ourselves. Rosette said. Why? Flare asked with a puzzled expression.
Because there are wanted posters of you stuck all over the country! Rosette exclaimed. Seriously? Flare asked. Yes! This is typical! And flare they have found your notes and the manuscript, they can invade Atlantis or destroy it! Rosette exclaimed. What?! Now we have to go! If they break the barrier of Atlantis it will collide with the ocean floor and cause havoc on land! Flare said. So what are you waiting for? Let's go! Rosette said. You know what? You are the best friend anyone can ever have! Flare said and they both hugged. On the other side the minister(Harold) was burning with rage. You must catch that girl or she will come in between my path! Atlantis has eternal power which makes a person immortal and wealthy! And that person can rule over the world as the greatest, strongest and the mightiest! He boomed. Yes sir we will catch her soon! George said. Leave my daughter alone! Please! Mr Roberts pleaded them. I will give you the location of Atlantis and all the details of Atlantis!
Mr Roberts said. Oh is it? Ok I will leave you daughter alone, get to work immediately! Harold boomed. Yes! Thank you! Mr Roberts said with a sigh of relief. Back at flare's place- we have to go quickly! Rosette come on you can do it! Flare said. I am trying, ouch! Rosette said. Oh no! You have twisted your ankle! Flare said, after this she lifted rosette and carried her on her back. Flare I can walk! You don't have to struggle like this. Rosette said. You are hurt and I have to do the needful. Flare said. Flare we have to disguise ourselves! Rosette said. Here you dress up like a boy and I will dress up like a granny. They disguised themselves and flare carried rosette all the way to the main city. May I help you, sir?
A person asked. No thank you, I am well and good by myself. Flare replied. I am ok flare, you can put me down. Rosette said. Alright then. Flare said. Are you new here? A quite familiar voice asked flare. Huh? Umm..ye..yes we are new here. Flare said. She understood that the person who had asked her the question was Nori. Oh, then you must know a few important rules and things. Nori said. Ok...flare said. Rule number 1, you must have your identity cards with you always. Rule number 2, whenever you see an officer or a government official, you must treat them with due respect, you mustn't criticize them. If we find out that you did something like that say bye, bye! Ha, ha, ha ok let me tell you the last one- you must inform us if you see these two people. Nori said pointing at a wanted poster with the picture of flare and rosette. Ok. We will follow the rules. Flare said in a rather rough voice. Your name? Nori asked. "Oh! Uhh..my name is Robin" Flare replied in the same rough voice.
"Uh, huh? Your name is also Robin?" Nori asked. "Why? Any problem?" Flare asked. Yes, I do have a problem! Nori said. What is it? Flare asked. How dare you? You are not treating me with respect! Nori said fuming. Flare bit her lips and said rather blandly- I am so sorry mam. Oh, it's ok! That is indeed the way! Nori said. Grandma let's go! I am really hungry! Flare exclaimed. Yes, dear let's go. Rosette said imitating the voice of an old woman.
