It was a beautiful day the sun was out, and birds were singing. Oliva was sitting on a bench waiting for her train. Finally, her train arrived Oliva was about to finally get on when she felt a sudden pain , and then falls to the ground. When Oliva wakes up, she finds herself on a train seat with a pain in her head. Oliva is very confused why she was on the train in the first place, she didn’t even have a ticket so, she wondered how could she possibly get on the train. A man approaches her and says “hello ma’am.” Oliva screams with fear from the look on the mans face. The man is confused and asks “whats wrong?” Oliva gives him a mirror full with fear. The man says “I don’t see anything.” She then realizes she can only see it. Oliva then says “never mind sorry to waste your time.” The man leaves her and mumble “stupid girl.” Oliva looks out the window and everything is passing by very quickly. She gets up and walks over to the driver‘s compartment. A man is laying on the ground supposedly dead. To make sure he isn’t Oliva checks his pulse turns out he is. Oliva breaths heavily scared of what might happen to the train with no driver. She then takes the wheel and tries to press the brakes but, the breaks are broken! She feels like passing out but, she stays strong for the sake of her life and others. She makes an announcement and says “attention everyone on borad, the train brakes broke, and we are going the max speed. Everyone stay calm no need to worry I will get you to safety.” She looks up how to get the brakes un-stuck on a train. Suddenly her phone dies; she panics then reminded herself to stay calm. She takes a few deep breaths and finds her calm. Oliva thinks “I might die doing this but, it’s worth a shot...” Oliva opens the train doors, and climbs her way to the top of the train she stands up, and walks her way to the front of the train where she discovers she has powers…! She discovers she can freeze things and move things with her mind! She cracks a smile and goes to the very edge of the train and tries to freeze the wheels… but, wait…. it’s not strong enough. She tries to move the wheels off the train but, yet, it doesn’t work. She says “what a waste.” She goes back inside the train and thinks for a long time. She finally came with an idea. She than asks everyone for the help. She says “ if you guys can help me I can help us all if you just cooperate with me, and listen to what I say.” Everyone agrees with Oliva but, it’s too late… the train was going to fast and got off the rails and crashed into the wall. A couple minutes later oliva wakes up with again, no memory of how she got there… Half the people on that train died and the other half were horribly injured Oliva couldn’t believe her eyes. Oliva preys, and preys, and preys that this was just a dream but, at last, it wasn’t... Oliva broke down crying on the cold, dirty, hard floor. She gets up turns her hands into fists and stops crying. She says to herself “I will safe myself and all these others.” She yells at the alive people and says we will walk, and walk, and walk until, we reach help. Eventually she gets back to the train stop. Oliva sighs in relieve and cries happily.

The end.
