DESTRUCTION OF POMPEII

My name is Marcus and I am 11 years old . I live in Pompeii and I'm a slave. I work for Festus. One day I found myself running to get Festus' laundry and I saw a old lady laying on the ground, so I helped her up. She said "The world is doomed!" I thought "What"?! Then I went along wondering "What did she mean?" Then a crowd was there and I found my dad, Tata.

Tata hugged me, I haven't seen him in a long time. Then the gladiators saw Tata. Tata was meant to be killed by someone named cyclops in an arena.

I saved Tata by taking a snake jar up to the gladiators. I opened the jar and the snake whet jumping out! That gave Tata a chance to run, but Fustus saw us. We ran out before Festus could catch us.

We went to find a horse and we found one. We named it Peg (short for Pegasus).
We settled down, then when I was asleep I had a dream. I dreamed of me and Hercules fighting the hydra, a powerful beast with 3 heads.

One head with poison, one with fire, and one with water. But then I had to wake up because the ground was shaking. Me and Tata had to go and warn the people of Pompeii. When we got there the people were having another battle and me and Tata somehow quieted them. And we said "we need to get out of here!"

Festus quieted the crowd down and said " We all need to get out of this city NOW!" Then we all started running. The volcano was mad - rocks started flying! One rock was so big that it made the ground shake. Also it made Tata fall on the floor so hard that he knocked himself out. I dragged him into a temple.

When Tata woke up he looked at the statue. He looked at where his hand was pointing and we found an opened tile in the floor. We went into the sewers under the tile and I survived!
