Chapter 4

James dreamed. A voice called from the bottom of the bed. He was sure it was his mothers soft voice but couldn’t make out the shape that at the bottom of the bed. “Who are you?” asked James. Suddenly, the world around him began to crumble “No” James shouted as character at the end of the bed fell into a black void and never to be seen again.

He woke with a start. Morning sunlight blinded his eyes through the wooden planks of the old stable. Suddenly, he noticed Will cleaning his fur in the corner while Sam was fast asleep. James walked over and winded him up. ” That’s better” Said Will ” I saw the professor by the garage getting the airship ready lets go.”

“Oi I was having a good dream” mumbled Sam yawning. Moments later, the gang of three clambered over the wall. Luckily, the rope was tied to the pole. They watch the professor cradle the box in his hands then put it on the deck. “Did you see that he left the rope down” shouted Will they rapidly clambered onto the deck and were ready.

Will ran to and bounded to the wooden walkway. Surprisingly Sam opened the box and the amulet was lying in the box with John Hartman’s designs.

“Thieves, rapscallions, scoundrels” roared the professor sprinting towards us. Without hesitating James cut the rope holding the airship down. Immediately, the airship rose as the professor was shaking his fist and shouted insults but we were to high to hear him.

A muffled shout came from bellow Will James and Sam ran down and in front of them was John Hartman was tied up. James cut the ropes and John hugged him close. we’ll put some distance from that Villain.

James and Sam stood on deck watching the world slip by below as the airship drifted far above the village where they live. Tiny houses were at the edges of fields. Sam grinned at James. her. Will
curled up on deck and snoozed.
