My sky ship

Part 4

I woke to the sound of birds cheeping softly next to me. Slowly, I sat up to see that the dragon was already awake. I opened a jar of jam for me and the dragon to eat. I got up and decided to go and find a way to get out of there.

We wandered for a while but then I heard footsteps coming towards us. I closed my eyes in terror. “Hello are you lost,” announced the friendly voice. I opened my eyes to see an old woman. “I live in these woods and have never seen a soul here.”                                                 “Yes we are lost,” I exclaimed.                                                                                                              “Where do you live?” Said the old woman.                                                                                            “Well I live in London and the dragon lives here.”                                                                                    “I will look after the dragon from now and then I will take you home as this wood is no place for a little girl, come on  let’s go,” said the old woman thoughtfully.                                      Ok thank you,” I confirmed.

We followed the old woman into a clearing where a hot air balloon was waiting. “Get in,” said the woman. We were up in the air for ages until finally we reached London.                         

My sky ship

Part 3

My heart skipped a beat as more trees plummeted to the ground. I gazed in horror as a gigantic dragon emerged from the shadows. In the corner of the dragons left wing there was a rip. It came towards me and laid down on the ground. I decided to help the dragon.

Later that day, when I had finished tending to the dragons wounds, I decide to go for a walk around the woods, looking for help. Just then, I saw an old well, I looked inside with hope that there was water in there. To my surprise there was. I chucked the bucket down then, hauled up the water.

Further into the woods I went, then I stumbled across an old, deserted house. I opened the door with a creak and inside was some jars of jam to keep me and the dragon going until we found help. I walked back to the dragon, water and food in hand. We had a feast eating all we could until we both fell fast asleep.

My sky ship

Part 2

I looked around me everything went past in a blur. I reached into my rucksack and pulled out my wishing stones, I wished that I could be floating peacefully through the air. Normally when the wishing stone works it will glow a shade of jade green, but it didn’t it just stayed the same boring colour of dark grey. 

I stood up and sighed, I thought if I’m going to get home I should have a look around. In the distance, the mountains gleamed with snow like icing sugar.  I could see a path way leading into a darkened forest. Slowly, I walked up the path, the light seemed to be disappearing fast. All of  sudden, there was a CRASH and a row of trees starting tumbling down like dominoes.

My shy ship

I am getting ready to go on my sky ship adventure, soaring high above the clouds, in the winters breeze. I am walking into my sky ship, about to take off. I am riding in my ship, it is certainly an adventure.

The clouds are thick, grey and gloomy, getting higher and higher, but at that moment there was a CRASH, a bolt of lightning hit the deck with force causing the ship to start cracking and screeching as it started to fall from the sky. The thunder grew louder and lightning struck all around. I looked at the ground, it was only metres away I close my eyes as the ship started to bump along the ground as the wind became a breeze and the lightning became a distant flash.
