Helen James & Crash

By J Maxwell

Helen James is riding home from school on her new bicycle with 3 friends, at the first roundabout they each go their separate way. Helen is heading for the last exit but before she reaches it a large van with the driver busy on his mobile phone enters the roundabout and crashes into Helen, even though she was wearing a High Visibility jacket. As she is thrown into the air she calls out "Hyming". How she really expects him to be there she didn't know but before she came crashing down in front of a car she is taken up into the sky, across the Milky Way and far, far away to the Imkoo galaxy. Unlike on Earth, where there are many banks, this galaxy has only one bank and one currency.
The bankers had got greedy and this was causing a financial meltdown. Helen knows how to look after her pocket money and how to earn extra by doing odd jobs for her mother or their neighbours but the banking systems are beyond her knowledge but the Visitants leader, Zacred said that as she was a 'Good' she would be able to sort out the problem. With Hyming wrapped around her Helen visited the Bankers and many planets. With just a thin film of Hyming around her it protected her from the environment and enabled her to communicate with the various beings she encountered.
If Helen could not bring the banking system back many of the star systems and planets would perish.

Preface

This is the 6th adventure Helen James is about to encounter with the Visitants.

The Visitants are a collection of beings that roam the universe looking for Galaxies, star systems and planets that are in danger of being destroyed by the actions of their inhabitants.

To put things right they have enlisted the help of 5 ‘Goods’ from across the universe. One such ‘Good’ is 10 year old Helen James from Earth.

When Zacred, the Leader of the Visitants needs the services of a ‘Good’ he sends out one of his most trusted members of the Visitant family. In the case of Helen the one who normally comes to collect her is Hyming but not always.

In this case Zacred has sent Pyling, Hyming’s younger sister.

Chapter 1 - ‘Hyming Help’

Helen James was in her last year at primary school and so this week was an important one to her. Today she had had a busy day at school. In the morning she took two Maths exams and in the afternoon an English exam.

She was working hard to get the best marks she possibly could as they would affect which school she would move up to in September.

Once she had talked to her friends about how they all got on, Helen headed to collect her bike and make her way home. Since she got this bike for her 11th birthday and before she would be allowed to ride it to school she had to learn the Highway Code and pass a proficiency test.

Her granddad had drummed it into her how important it was to know what was around her as she rode along. He also fitted a mirror on the handle bars so that she could see what was coming up behind her.

All girls need a mirror, he said.

Although she was tired, her concentration levels were as good as ever. It would only take her fifteen minutes to get to her mum’s house.

She could then relax before starting her final revision for tomorrow’s exams.

Helen, Jane, Sally and Richard all set off together. They turned right as they left the school gates. Because of the volume of traffic at this time of day they rode in single file. Richard led off followed by Sally and Jane, with Helen taking up the rear. After all, she had the mirror!

They rode along for half a mile until they reached the Christmas Tree roundabout. It was here that the four of them went their separate ways. Richard would take the first exit, Sally and Joan the second and Helen would take the final exit. It was a practiced manoeuvre they carried out each night.

Richard signalled that he was making his turn and waved back to the girls. Sally and Joan carried on around the roundabout to the second exit and took the turning. Sally called out to Helen that they would call her later.

Unlike the others Helen had signalled that she was turning right and had moved over to enter the roundabout in the right hand lane.

She had done this many times and so was practiced in what to do, to ensure that the drivers behind her were aware of what she was doing.

It had been because of this roundabout that her granddad had insisted that she wore a high visibility jacket. He let her choose the colour; in that
