I have never seen this before! Yes, but judging by the conditions there is a snowstorm coming. So, we’d better take cover! “Oh, ma god” screeched Nan, "there’s a little girl in the snow! She must have gotten lost in the storm but no matter who she is we MUST bring her back to the village, storm or no storm." "Agreed! I’ll grab her arms, you take her legs, and then run as fast as you can to the village. But no matter what she cannot be left in the snow or she’ll die, if she isn’t already!" mumbled Alice. It took a while, but now they had the girl out of the snow and they were making their way toward the village (it was harder than they imagined).

After Alice filled in Nan over dinner "Oh, by the way, how on Earth did you make your way into the forest." "Oh, well Mama and I were going to visit a village for Christmas but then a snowstorm hit and we tried to take cover but then we couldn’t see through the snow and we ended up getting separated and then I just felt so cold and then everything went black and next thing I know I am here! We left on my birthday the 13th of December." "OMG SAME! I WAS 13!" they said together.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Silent Scream&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; “Aaaaaaarrrghhh!” screamed the girl. “OK, now she is definitely dead,” said the girl (Alice). Alice, I would give her a few days if I were you. It was at this point that she realised that they couldn’t hear her, and she couldn’t move, so she relaxed her face so that they wouldn’t keep thinking she was dead. Rumble rumble rumble went the girls’ stomachs. Luckily Nan had made soup to warm them up. They had to spoon-feed the girl… FOR 2 WEEKS!

&nbsp;&nbsp;YIPPEE PIPPY&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "3…2…1…OPEN the letters…. OMG IS THIS RIGHT!!! &nbsp;We’re sisters? YiPpE PiGgY!!! SO NOW I CAN CALL U NAN! YiPpE PiPpY!!" “Wait,” said Alice. "NAN did you know about this?!!!" "Oh dear!" said Nan. “SPILL IT!” UH OH "Ok well, um, your mother had two children but a few months later she got annoyed with me. Then she was driving away in her car but Alice fell out so I caught you, but, at that stage she was gone."

&nbsp;&nbsp;Back in Norway "Mmm, Nana you make the best hot chocolate!" "Thanks, it can be your birthday treat! But wait till you taste your cake!" Ding! Dong! "Oh, that must be the post. I’ll grab it. It’s probably a card for me anyways. Oh, it’s addressed to you Nana!" she shouts. "But Nana never gets letters as everyone thinks she is crazy; it must be important…... LET'S READ IT!!!!"

"YOU NEVER TOLD ME THAT IN THE LAST THIRTEEN YEARS!!!" exclaimed Alice. That was the day the forest talked to me. It helps you in your time of need if you would just listen.." "THE FOREST DOESN’T TALK!" "It talked to me!" "NO, IT DIDN’T!" "Yes, it did!" "NO, IT DIDN’T, YOU HYPOCRITE! YOU KNOW I WISH YOU WEREN'T MY GRANDMOTHER!!!" shouted Alice as she stormed off. But as Alice shouted her Nan's blood pressure was rising…until she collapsed and as Sara had just found out she was her Nan too, she instantly decided to help. Nana or not Nana she had to help her out! "HELP! GET HELP!" cried Sara. But people weren’t going to just let her die. Since the Test Centre was in the hospital they didn’t have far to go. Within minutes Nan was in a hospital bed and they were already trying to help her. Sara was by her side the whole time.

Nana it’s cold, why do we have to go out here today?” “Alice, Alice, Alice my sweet granddaughter it’s your birthday we’re simply celebrating!” In a forest, IN DECEMBER! “Alice, what’s happened to that sweet little girl inside of you?” I AM TOO OLD FOR THIS STUPID TRADITION! I AM NOT 7 ANYMORE!" Oh, and the forest is NOT alive! Then how did it talk to me…it, it, it must have been a hallucination!" “I don’t think so, but you can believe that. Follow your mother,” mumbled her Nan. "My mum, YES PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT HER! It’s my birthday after all!" “So now you’re playing the birthday card, but I do suppose, it is your birthday so I might explain a little bit. Under the tree please.”

YIPPEE PIPPY After Sara had dragged Alice out of the building she read out the note to Alice. It said, "I'm sorry, don't worry about me but forest talk time is needed." "We must go to the forest now, quick!" As they ran into the forest they could make out a shape, a shape of a dog. "Aaaaa!" screamed Alice. "I hate dogs! WE ARE NOT GOING IN THERE!!!" "Yes, we are," said Sara dragging Alice in. Then the dog started rampaging towards them, bowing his head.

&nbsp;2 Weeks later (in the rescued girl's view) "Okay, so I don’t want to scream anymore as the two girls are being very nice to me, oh and I now know their names, Alice and Nan. So now I really want to thank them, except oh yeah, I can’t, but maybe I could give it one more shot." "Thank you!" said the girl softly. "WHAT THE?" screamed Alice, "YOU CAN TALK!" "Um yeah, I can. I am human you know!" "OMG! I have so many questions! First off, what’s your name?" "My name is Sara, and you are Alice right?" "Yes, it is. Anyways where is your Nan? I really want to thank her, oh and you so thank you." "You're welcome but Question Two: Yoghurt or Yogurt?" "Yoghurt, obviously who on earth says YOG-URT!" Actually, I am STARVING please can I have some Yoghurt?

Eventually After what was about an hour they were at the house. Once they were inside the house, they laid the girl on the couch in front of the fire and put ten thermal blankets on her and seven hot water bottles, and made sure to keep the fire topped up. She stayed in that condition for over three hours before she started to twitch. She started twitching during Alice’s shift, but as usual, she wasn’t paying attention, well until Nan asked how the girl was. “Uhh, she is probably fine! Or not…” NANA OR NAN OR GRAN I DUNNO… JUST COME HERE!

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2,348 miles away in Morocco 13/12/22 “Mama why do we need to pack our bags?” asked Sara. “We are going on holiday, to visit Nana Gröndal.” "But why, how long will we be there for?" "It depends if they want us there, I sent them a letter last week it should be there soon. If THEY want us there? I mean if SHE wants us to."

DNA "I’ll book you a DNA test to see if you have any other relatives around here." "Thank you, Ms. Hansen." "Now you girls go off and play there aren't many 13-year-olds here." For days the girls played and chatted and got to know each other. Then it was the day of their DNA test (Alice wanted one too) "We’d better set off for the DNA test centre." When they arrived they took blood and tested and then were told to wait in the waiting room. "Uhhhhhhhhhhh, we’ve been here so long; oh, someone is coming." "Ms. Hansen, please collect your results now." The doctor came out holding two letters, addressed to Sara and Alice.

The Letter

“After all those years, that I haven’t been talking to her she replies, today, on the 16th of December 2022, this is the day she replies”, sobbed Nana. "WAIT! Oh no…..."

Sara then stood still and grabbed Alice 3…2…1…JUMP! They jumped into the air landing on the dog's back. Realizing they were on his back he turned around and ran into the trees He was running for about 15 minutes, then they came across an old cottage. As they walked inside Sara screamed, "MAMA!" On the floor was their mother. “She’s in poor health, luckily not critical but she needs to go to a hospital, oh and in case you’re wondering how I am talking, I am Mother Nature and present in many forms because truly I can never die, but right now we need to get to the hospital. I’ll lead you out.” 20 minutes later they were out. “Thank you, Mother Nature,” said the girls, “No, please call me Yippee Pippy, it stands for Yo-nevermind you don't need to know,” said Mother Nature. "Doctor! WE NEED A DOCTOR!"

“Your mother was my little angel. She wasn’t much of a lady as she was too adventurous but still wouldn’t BELIEVE in anything without proof, she focused too much on science”. “Ughhhhh, I HATE science” interrupted Alice. Anyway, she thought that I was crazy, so she left her trust in science expecting it to raise her?! Then she jetted off to Morocco to do MORE science*, and I haven’t seen her since**. AWKWARD SILENCE “Now, we’d better want to start heading home, it's rather chilly, but make sure to listen out for the forest and remember it talked to me on this date”. (* How much science does this gal need?! **That’s deep)&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

A Year later “Mama, Nana wake up, it's Christmas Day!” exclaimed Alice and Sara. A year later they are all still living together as one big happy family except now every day they go out to the forest to listen just in case it says hello. On their way back they always make sure to visit a very special place or rather a very special person…

Meanwhile Alice wanted to run all the way back to her house, but the door was locked, then she kind of did an angry dance outside the front door but as she was spinning, she noticed something, or rather someone (through the hospital window) being lifted into a hospital bed, it was an old woman and by her side was a very young girl. It reminded her of her Nan and Sara. Then suddenly Alice felt guilty, very guilty, so she ran the whole way back to where she saw Sara sitting on a waiting chair. "Where’s Nan?" asked Alice, but Sara ignored her then started to cry and went into Alice for a hug. "It's all my fault!" wailed Sara. "If I didn’t come, she wouldn’t be here. "WHAT?" exclaimed Alice. "WHERE IS NAN?" "Never mind that, she told me to give you this," Sara handed her a piece of paper and as she did so she grabbed her hand. “She’s going to be okay, I will make sure of it,” Alice nodded reassuringly but went the other way. "She needs time," said Sara as she grabbed her. You have to go." "No!" cried Alice, I must see her I have to apologise to her!" "Okay, you don’t need to go, but we do."

&nbsp;After 2 hours of searching “Huh, ”sighed Nan, "I’m sorry I brought you out in the cold, I think we should head back to the village." “I-I t-t-t-hink so t-o-o!” They turned around and headed back to the village, but as they walked the storm grew stronger so eventually, they had to stop and go and take cover under a tree. But as they made their way to the tree Alice noticed an unusually big heap of snow. As she grew nearer to the heap. “Curiosity killed the cat!” rang through her head. It was one of Nana’s sayings. As she was drawing nearer, she realised that there was something alive in there or someone… The thought of this startled Alice and so she leaped back in fright. Her Nan who was watching her the whole time finally made an input. “What’s wrong Alice?” "Well, um, how do I put this…there-is-someone-in-the-snow!"

Quick!!!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; On the morning of&nbsp;14/12/22&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Beep! BEEP!! BEEP!!!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Oh no!" cried Abagail, "the taxi to the airport is here. We are LATE!!!" Ten minutes later the two were ready and luckily, they just about made the flight. “Phew, sighed Sara, we made it!” When they arrived in Norway, they traveled across the country till they saw the trees of the forest. “I remember this place as if it was yesterday!” "Is this the place?" "It sure is!" "WHAT?! It is so…. AMAZING! AN ADVENTURE! Let's goooooo!!!"&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Norway 16/12/22 "Oh no!" cried Alice. "They were supposed to be here two days ago!" "Alice…GRAB ALL YOUR SNOW GEAR WE HAVE TO GO TO THE FOREST!!!" "But there’s a snowstorm!" "THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT!!!" At this point, Alice was starting to get worried not just about her mum, but also about her Nan. She had never got so worried. Within seconds Alice and Nana were entering the forest.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; After an hour of searching in the snowy forest, the storm was getting stronger and stronger but there was still no sign of Abagail.

&nbsp;&nbsp;Twitch Blink Twitch What is it, Alice? Is she okay? I dunno, that’s why I asked you. For all I know she’s dead. “Oh, hello,” said Nan ignoring her comment. "WHY DID U SAY HELLO TO ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONVERSATION!" screamed Alice, till she realised who she was talking to. "Ohhhh you were talking to her, that makes sense. That makes sense. That makes sense. That makes sense," rang through the girl’s head over and over again until everything came into view. A girl (around her age) was staring at her along with an older woman although the woman seemed strangely familiar. “Is she dead?” asked the girl (Alice) bluntly. “Goodness no!” screamed the sort of familiar-looking woman (Nan). It took a minute for the sick girl to realise she had just randomly appeared in this… house, and she didn’t know these people!
