Goromander Chapter 4

I’m ready to run. I can feel my heart hitting my chest like a steel hammer. The glow from this red egg with golden splashes all over is shining as bright as a star in the midnight sky.I looked over my shoulder glancing at violet trembling in fear as she picked up this precious stone.As she picked up this egg she could make out a nest and it was resting in the middle of it.

 

This creature came crawling out of the dark tilting its head sideways with its amber eyes locking onto us.Violet put her hands out showing it that we aren’t a threat.It started to back off into the dark hiding away in the shadow.In my head i knew it was working.

 

“It’s time to go” i whisper Me and violet clamber over the pile of loose rocks getting drenched in water.We get out of the cave  and lay in the golden sand gasping for fresh clean air.Outside we lay on the golden sand inside the Goromander hides the egg under its thick nest.

 

The mist has cleared. The moon eyes the beach stars scattered around the sky waves crash against the rough glimmering sand.Nobody can find this cave.Nobody can find the goromander egg i thought to myself.Violet keeps going on and on about ideas like make a rock avalanche to get the county to shut that part of the beach off. 

 

When we get back to town we can see the sun emerging from the lapis blue Ocean rising over the town. Billy-go-lucky was at the dock polishing his boat.  He waves at us  with a cheery grin. It might be a sunny day.Mr fizz with opening up and unlocking the roller shutter. today there’s not very many cars on the road snaking by.

 

I fumble round trying to find the right key and I shove the door open. Soon the shop will have customers all over.soon the shop will be filled with customers.My mind is racing with thoughts will the goromander be safe.

 

The waves go back to me and VIolet sees this red golden egg laying on the sand.Me and Violet are thinking the same thing.

 

All day violet was looking through old and ancient logs and records. She came across this log written in the early 80s.They were on a fishing vessel and he picked up this glowing egg.Then disaster struck and a hole was put in the side of the boat.After that they were never seen again.

 

That evening we sit around the table realising are adventure is not over yet.
