Llamamander continued 

Chapter 4

I was ready to run,but there was only a dark,hollow cave.The soft egg was shining like a diamond with brisk sparks in it.Then, Ash mumbled “it will be alright” in a soothing voice covering her fear.

The Llamamander paused and crouched on the floor,its blue crystal eyes glaring mysteriously.”We will protect you” ash says.The Llamamander stepped back signalling she wanted to let us go.I think its working.Ash was communicating with the Llamamander.

“We’re leaving now” says Ash, now walking out the cave.The Llamamanders eyes looked into mine and i saw clouds waving slowly,i then put the fluffy egg on the floor and ran out.safe at last.

Outside,I layed on the warm sand but,inside mushroom town was the hearing of the llamamander caring about its egg.

The fog cleared,the gleaming moon shines down at the beach.stars glitter in the sky,their reflections peering down.All was silent.We walked towards the hotel and talk about how we will protect the cave leading to mushroom town.”No one can find it” ash says quickly planning what to do,ash is always full of suggestions – pretend it’s off limits or pretend a rockfall happened and report it to the local council,get signs up and caution tape around the cave.I listen as she speaks a mile an hour her face really ready to do business.

By the time we were in town the bright sun started to come up the edges over the wavy sea.It casted the mirroring shadows gazed upon the land. Billy’s pizzeria is open and is making fresh dough outside,the owner waved at us with a cheery smile. Larry’s drink stand is making some tropical shakes.Mrs rose was putting out some bluebells and white roses.By the we got to the museum,the morning traffic began.Cars rapidly swooshed past us on their way to a car park.

I messed up the keys but we finally barged in.Inside,it was silent and fresh but soon it will be loud and warm.As i open the ticket office,my heart thumps.Will the Llama Manders egg be safely hatched? Will we be able to keep it hidden away from glaring eyes?

Ash wanders over at the “find the egg” event in town.I stand behind her looking closely “wait” says ash “look” she says in terror..the egg they were finding was soft and fluffy and blue sparks around it.We looked at each other,thinking “what”.

All day,Ash was sleeping and thinking about the egg.She then found a log about a captain and a rock back in 1898.”This book is so boring” I said while sitting on the floor.” Its about a fishing vessel that netted what the fishermen believed to be a huge,soft,fluffy rock that sparkled blue.They kept finding the rock shattered and the captain told the story of how the ship had been visitted by the Llama mander devil” ash said in a huge huff.

That evening,we talk.Our adventure is not finished.it has only just begun.
