Harlow and the pond

Chapter 1

 

Have you noticed how there are some shops that people never pay attention to? Well the Everywhere Emporium is exactly that shop.I don’t know why though because it has glitter that falls from the chimney and beautiful cobweb patterns that form on the ancient door.

 

Next to the door is a wonderful window display where there is a shelf full with jars of memories, brightly lit stars floating above the shelf and colourful potions bubbling.

 

But still to this day no one has ever entered the wonderful Everywhere Emporium. Until Harlow walked in not knowing what was about to happen to her…

 

Looking around she was so confused and was wondering what had just happened.

 

Harlow, who went to Breckland high school, was getting bullied by a gang of boys. It all started when her parents passed away and she became an orphan.The boys thought that it was funny that she became an orphan and had no parents. Harlow entered the Emporium just to get away from the boys.

 

She stepped inside with no hesitation. Immediately, she saw brightly lit stars floating around and whispering voices coming from nowhere. A pink phoenix flying around and elves making gifts for the girls and boys if any ever enter. Fairies making pink potions with crystals lie next to them to make sure they don’t stress out. Next to the till there are shelves full with keys that no one knows what they are used for. Under the keys there are pencils that make you spell everything right.

 

“ What are you doing here!” yelled a voice.

 

Chapter 3

 

It was a nice calm day outside of the cottage, the sun was shining and the birds were chirping. Harlow walks in to see china stacked in the cupboards and a record player playing quietly in the background.

 

Harlow went to explore the rest of the cottage, she found a sitting room with a comfy couch, a laundry room and a hallway full of rooms. But Harlow wasn’t just there to look around; she needed some eggs to bake a cake. So she kept on looking. A few minutes had passed but she still couldn’t find them.

 

Suddenly, a scratching noise came from the hallway. Harlow dashed down to the hallway and with no hesitation she opened every door searching for where the noise came from. She opens the door and hears another scratching sound. Then something red appeared!

 

Harlow slammed the door shut and ran back to the front door to get away. But the door was locked. There was no escaping…

 

Chapter 4 

 

Terrified, Harlow could hear heavy breathing from behind her. Frightened, she didn’t know what to do. She looked behind her shoulders, hoping she was imagining it. Unfortunately, Harlow thought her days were over because it was impossible to escape now, and especially because there was now a deadly something behind her. 

 

Thinking quickly of how to get out of the fatal cottage, she had a quick glance around the room to have spotted a tiny door at the bottom of a green lake. She was fixed on getting out of there alive. Without warning, she ran as fast as a cheetah to the lake. Wondering if she could swim or not because later that summer she had swimming lessons but wasn’t very good at it. She dived in before taking a big breath. Running out of air, she was determined to get through the door. Opening the door, she got swept back into the emporium safely but panicked! 

 

“What just happened?” she said to herself.” Someone pinch me, that did not just happen.” Nervously, Harlow walked in to see Mr Moore standing there staring at her. “ What did you just do!” shouted Mr Moore “ I thought you knew better than that.” Guilty, Harlow apologised not realising she would upset him that much. “There’s always tomorrow,” he said in a low voice tone.

 

Upset, Harlow stepped outside thinking about what she did wrong. “One more thing,” said Harlow to Mr Moore but it was gone. The whole emporium had disappeared. “There’s always tomorrow,” she said, hoping that it would actually come back.

Taylor and the goblin

During the night Taylor got hungry and decided he was going to creep downstairs to get a chocolate and a glass of water out of the fridge. Taylor tiptoed out of bed and headed down the stairs jumping from one step to another. He made his way to the kitchen oblivious to what was about to happen. Once he was at the fridge a noise came from inside.With no hesitation, he quickly opened the fridge and to his surprise he saw a goblin chewing on all of the junk food. Taylor immediately slammed the fridge door shut in horror.

What are …

What are loud? A crane scooping gravel, my tummy at twelve o’clock and the blue sea against huge boulders.

What are quiet? The tiptoe of a mouse, a baby eating its favourite food and a dog when it gets home from a nice long walk.

 

What are soft? A newly washed blanket, labrador’s fur and my fluffy white pencil case from smiggle.

What is hard? A new basketball, a book with seven thousand pages and Forest Academy’s quizzes.

 

What are hot? An oven on Christmas day, a metal water bottle left in the sun and my face on a summer’s day when I forgot to put suncream on.

What are cold? Crunchy snow, my fingers after having a snowball fight and an ice lolly that has been left in the freezer too long.

 

What are smooth? My hand after putting hand cream on, a new glue stick from Elder class cupboard and the screen on my mum’s laptop.

What are rough? Sanding paper, the back of a Chromebook and an elephant’s skin.i

Cloud Unicorn

 

Many people believe that there are so many different varieties of unicorn but one of  the most fasinating is the Cloud Unicorn. It is thought that the Cloud Unicorn can visit angel pets.

 

The Cloud Unicorn lives in the bright sky on a fluffy cloud, when it becomes stomy the unicorn navigates its way to the West side of Australia where it is the hottest. A week later the unicorn makes its way back up to the clouds just in time to watch the horizon. A fun fact is that Cloud Unicorns can actually tell the weather forecast,  whether it is going to be stormy or be sunny. The unicorn makes all this effort because it hates the cold. In the winter, the unicorn travels to South Africa and stays there until the summer months return to Australia. 

 

The majestic Cloud unicorn has a grey coat with a white sparkling mane flowing down its long soft neck, and a white, sparkling tail. Additionally, on the unicorn’s bottom there is a mark of a white cloud that if it gets cold will ensure that the unicorn will lose its ability to fly. On the top of the unicorn’s head there is a twisted horn made from gold from a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. The creature’s hooves are soft so when it steps on a cloud it does not fall straight through. The wings are like a feather because of how frail they are. They are about the same size as a sixteen hand horse.

 

Cloud Unicorns are a frendily unicorn, many unicorns are not. I doubt you would ever see one, but if you do, here is how to approach it. You have to stand still and you cannot make a sound if the unicorn approaches you, do not be scared! Most importantly do not try to reach out and touch it. If you do, you might frighten it and it will fly away.   

 

The last known sighting of the Cloud Unicorn was in 2020 it was spotted by the queen while in her back garden. Since then no one has ever seen it but have been searching everywhere. Isla

Adventure 1

Finally, they were ready to leave.

 

That afternoon, a note had arrived with Penelope the kind fox, it said that the Gorm were only a few miles away from Sunset warren. No one would be safe. The warren’s walls were so frail because they were built during a bad storm. The walls were unsteady and sandy. Its rooms would never survive an attack from the Gorm. 

 

So it was that the three little rabbits, Peter, Pearl and Pain left home. Their journey to safety would take at least a week but first they would have to cross Green Hill woods, then through the unknown Spider Caves until they reach The Canopy. Even the Gorm could not enter that mighty forest, the Gorm could not get through the magical barrier that was around the outside of the tree line. Warm hearted animals are allowed in while animals with cold hearts do not dare to enter, they get thrown back. Once the rabbits reached their destination, they would be safe. Other rabbits from their warren had chosen to travel elsewhere but Peter’s mother had given them an ancient map that showed the old paths, mostly hidden from unwanted eyes and glances. Too old to travel, she had stayed behind, hiding in the woods.

 

Clutching the ancient map, the little band of brave rabbits entered the first creepy location – Green Hill. They were in the forest, wending their way towards what they hoped would mean safety. Tall trees towered overhead as they followed the ancient rabbit pathways because if they didn’t take the unusual pathway they could have got seen by the Gorm. Cautiously, Paint took the lead, tugging his siblings along close. Wherever he looked, he imagined the evil eyes of the Gorm.

 

Chapter 2

The sun was rising at the Spider Cave. Peter woke up with a strange noise coming from the ancient door. Worried, Peter opened the door to Penelope, the messenger fox, who had a piece of paper hanging out of her mouth. As she nudged her head forward signalling to take it from her, Peter took it. The message said that the Gorm were coming and knew where they were. While they were on their way they were destroying other animals’ homes. Peter froze in fright. There was no time to waste, the Gorm was getting closer every second. Peter checked his map and they set off towards the Fire House. 

 

As they hiked through the woods, the woods were silent. Every twig that was stepped on made them all jump. As the rain came down it got harder and harder and it became colder and difficult to walk. 

 

After an hour’s walk, the tired rabbits found themselves heading towards the Fire House. The rabbits could see a huge black volcano with smoke coming out of small holes in the side of it. When they looked up they could see a massive dark cloud hovering over it trying to force rain out. Huge pieces of coal dotted around the area. Big black crows circling for prey ready to pounce if needed. The sound of bubbles bursting and the screaming of the volcano. 

 

From their hiding spots, they could see a gang of weasels sniffing around and hunting for prey. As it was only a day till they arrived at the volcano they kept on going and faced the dangers. There were seven weasels in total, there was an albino one which was the feistiest and it was the leader, two brown ones and a black and white weasel. The rest of them were brown white and black. They couldn’t turn back now. 

 

Quietly, the three rabbits tiptoed around the volcano. They made it to the other side and as soon as they got to the last little bit and thought that they made it. The leader turned his head and looked straight into Pearl’s eyes… 

 

Chapter 3

With a blink of an eye, six dark shadows appeared. Suddenly, a huge shadow came strolling into frame, it was the gang of weasels and their leader. The leader was albino with warriors ready to fight behind him. Cautiously, they all bowed down because in the troops hand was a knife with metal prongs sticking out from the sides. The weasel swung the knife, which made the little rabbits scream with fright. After the rabbits alerted the mischieves, they came galloping over. They were ready to fight.

 

With the sound of clanking armour and squeaking rats, the rabbits hurried away as fast as the little rabbits legs could go. They ran away from the danger behind them and carried on to safety. 

 

After many gruelling hours of travelling non stop onwards, their feet were aching. Peter carried Paint as they trudged on forward. ”We need to find somewhere to stop soon. This is getting ridiculous,” said Peter,” we can’t go on forever.” Relieved, Pearl found a forest with a three bedroom burrow a few steps away. 

 

Pulling back the leaves from the door, Pearl peared inside. One after another they jumped in to find themselves pulling cobwebs from their face and clothes. Not long after, the rabbits collapsed on the floor in one big bundle. Several minutes later, they woke up to the noise of other rabbits running away from the Gorm and their pet rats. Aware of the danger, they didn’t risk putting a fire on. Instead, Peter put together a simple dinner of dandelions, kale and river water that they collected on the way. 

 

Sitting together, all of a sudden Pearl jumped up in excitement remembering what her father gave them before they left. Pearl reached into her backpack carefully retrieving the present that was perfectly wrapped. They all squealed with happiness, hoping that it would be something that would help them fight the Gorm and rats off. It was long and light. Staring at it, they wondered what it could be and why it was so important that father risked his life to give it to us.

 

Unfolding the last bit of cloth, their eyes lit up to see a brown dagger covered in rust. “Well this is useless, why did he make out that it was so important?” A piece of an old map fell to the floor, Paint eagerly grabbing it and reading out loud. “Voltage: finds a threat and can come back if you throw it at an enemy, and kind hearted people can only use it.”  “Ahhhggg that’s why it is so special,” said Peter. “Now we might actually be able to beat the Gorm and rats.”

 

After a sound night’s sleep, the rabbits gathered their things and set off to Crystal Lake. They didn’t have far to go, only through a field full of farmers’ crops. At the end of the field they discovered a problem. A whole army of Gorm was gathered around the lake.
