Me and Amanda are ready to go but I’m face to face with a gate.The baby’s eyes seem to be getting bigger and bigger.Amanda starts to talk in a soothing voice.’It’s alright.’ she says, trying to disguise her fear.

The Catamander stops and stares.Its eyes growing.’We aren’t going to harm you or you egg.’Amanda holds out her hands so we don’t seem like a ********* spikes seem to lower and its lets out a purr.I think to myself,it’s working.Amanda has soothed the Catamander.

‘We will be leaving now.’ she mumbles in relief.It’s eyes seem to lock onto me as I slowly stumble out from under the pier.We tiptoe up the stairs so we don’t disturb the mander.Amanda looks back at the Catamander bowing its head and sheaving its claws.The sound of waves start to stop.I sigh in relief knowing we safely escaped the Catamander.

Outside,I take a long deep breath.Inside,We hear the Catamander settling down with her baby,slowly falling asleep.

The mist started to clear once again.A bright moon reflecting off the mirror-like water.We stroll over the beach towards the top of the pier.No one can find that cave or the Catamander and her weak baby.Amanda starts to say all her ideas,tell the council that a bolder has fell,put some signs up or ban everyone.

By the time we are walking down the street the sun starts to rise.Mrs Willson is setting up her bakery.Fin is setting up deckchairs in front of his fish and chip shop.Mrs Rose is going fishing for fish to sell to Fin.Mr Found is putting  his umbrellas up.He waves with a big smile on her face.Mrs Sand opens the blinds at her Bucket and Spade shop.

I grab the keys to open up the hotel.My mind asking so many questions,will the Catamander and her baby be safe?Will the Catamander get found and hunted down?As I go into my room Anamda is already sitting on my bed with her head stuck in books.

Amanda wanders over to me with a book called ‘Facts about mythical creatures’ she claims it has the Catamander in there.I stand beside her as she flips through the pages.There it is!The Catamander!

Ever since the day we found the Catamander Amanda has been reading everyday looking for information.She has gone to the library every single day.We went to go see if the Catamander is still there.She was but there was a note next to the mander its says ‘We have found that Catamander and her baby.’

That night we stand in shock.Our adventure isn’t finished.It has only just begun.
