Chapter 1-The Gorm attack

BANG! The deafening explosions downstairs are enough to cause attention the swords clashing like lightning, children screams that you can hear from miles away have started that night.Metal sounds like there being forged.The Aunty rabbit ,whose name is Anna, grabbed all 3 children and locked the door shut CLICK! “You need to explain why we are up here while fathers being attacked downstairs and it better be a good one” Pupkin angrily yelled.Anna blankly ignored all of the children’s pleads and as she searched for something special the 3 young rabbits names were Pupkin the eldest son Pes the eldest daughter and the oldest out the 3 and Puke the youngest son whose still a young kitten.The aunts eyes shone as she picked up a old shoe box “why do we have a old shoe box, what does this have to do with father fighting?” Pupkin mumbled “It’s got to be important if she ignored our questions” Pes exclaimed smugly.Anna had now given Pes the box showing a glimmering.silver sword and a map with a letter from their cousin Trinity attached to it. “What will we ne-” The stubborn boy got cut of as she gave him baby Puke and pushed them into a deep.dark hole which seemed to be a tunnel “Wait there’s a tunnel here how come we never knew!” they both shouted “ be safe my children i’ll tell your mother you escaped safely,see you in the land beyond” she said softly slamming the door shut causing baby Puke to cry.

Pupkin started banging on the door ragesly “Will you stop your scaring Puke” she yelled “sorry?” Question Pupkin “What do you expect me to do were trapped with no adults and i’m no help either? ” he started to calm down while saying it.Suddenly, heavy iron boots smashing on the ground making alarming echoes. “We need to leave…NOW!” she demanded they start running.

They run and run hesitating to go back and attempt to open the door, but they knew it can’t be done.Their visions blurred by the tears they have been holding back since they were in the bedroom.Pes paused as she heard the door CLICK! Unlock. “Pupkin” She mumbled quietly “What!” the confused boy yelled. “They are in” she started crying. “Whose in!” he start to get mad and start to yell “SHH” she demanded “The Gorm are in” Their eyes turned into waterfalls crying.Meanwhile.Puke is asleep.They started making beds out of dirt and leaves since they knew they might pass out from exhaustion.They fell asleep thinking they were mostly safe… 

Chapter 2-journey ahead

“AAHH” a helpless woman cried, waking up the frightened little rabbit,Pes “what was that?” she asked herself as she heard the sound of iron scraping against each other CLASH SCRAPE! “How long have you been awake!” Pes wondered. Puke accidentally smacked Podkin round the face while waving his arms about pretending he’s a scaring lion.Podkin instantly and about to scream OW but he realised who it was and that the Gorm are still there in the tunnel lurking somewhere.”I think it’s about time we leave this place but we have to really silent.” he said whispering.

As soon as they left the cave they headed towards Mountain Apocalypse leaving the damp,green Forest Escape they named it as they use it to escape.They saw the massive blanket of snow laying over all of the mountains that are so tall they reach to the clouds.However, Puke went “Squawk Squawk!” to signal a bird,a certain type of bird.”It’s them the nuisance,of all birds,the spy crows who work for the Gorm.” Podkin said as all 3 children ducked behind a rock before it could get a single glimpse of them.

The three children kept dead silent and still.The bird flew off until it was out of sight.Pes,Pupkin and Puke started heading towards the blood river or so they thought.A Gorm  grunted grunted to the news of the pests not being found.However,the children were coming up behind it and the crouched down the second it turned around so it wont see them.Pupkin slowly,quietly whispered into Pes’ soft,long bunny ears the plan on how to kill it.

They finally agreed on a plan and got in their positions Pes holding the dagger and Puke hidden behind a rock but where Pes can see him. Podkin shouted with full confidence” Hey I’m the child you’re looking for right, come get me!” he fell for it and fell into a hole they dug and SLASH! one slash of the dagger. “Maybe he was wearing the wrong iron” Pes said confusingly.

“Right now to go to the blood river as we originally planned,” Pupkin said, annoyed  As they started running.They finally found the blood river but they were getting more hungry by the second.They knew they would get blood stains on their fur once they got out. Pes is holding Puke this time since they also knew that that was going to be a struggle too.While they were walking through it Podkin made a point saying “it feels like someones pulling MY paws down stronger and stronger every step take!” of cause Pes didn’t hear or she was just ignoring him.Pes,Pupkin and Puke get out and Pes exclaimed “I recognise this place if we keep going strait we’ll get to the Mares village!” and so they did and when they found It they felt relieved.

Chapter 3-The unknown

Carefully,Pupkin knocked on the giant,wooden door with Pes gasping for air as she and Pupkin had been running for hours.”Hello” the mayor’s wife said softly.”Can we come in please,we are from Tree Warren and currently on the run” Pes tried to say in on breath.The mayor’s wife eyes widened as she heard that,that warren was recently attacked and their chief died.”Calm down dear.come in,i’ll make some tea and soup” She let them in and guided them to their seats.She also made them the beverage she’d promised but also made herself some as she was making food.”Where’s the others Buttons and Fluff” Podkin signed quickly in the code they made up.Pes rapidly pulled Podkin away and grabbing Puke like a bull,they made sure Athena,the mayor’s wife,knew that they were just going to roam the halls.

“Squawk Squawk!” Puke yelled excitedly “What is it Puke?” Pes questioned.”A crow. You Puke is really good at spotting them, I think he can be our little watchman for them.”Podkin said certainly.Rats started Squeaking giving everyone in warren a horrible headache.”what was that?” Pes was now really unsure what was going on.BANG! Explosionions hit the warren,tearing down the wall BANG! BANG! A grenade rolled in front of their little feet the rabbits ran as fast as their little legs could handle.In an instant,the grenade exploded hurting poor Pukes ears leaving him squirming  inside Podkins arms.”Calm down Puke,” Podkin said nervously.”Now,Now,Now what have we here,the little pests that escaped my presence”In the finally I found you again evil voice.”WHO ARE YOU!” Podkin yelled.

Outside,Podkin is brave and trying to protect his siblings.

Inside,He’s horrified and just wants to cry a waterfall. “I’m the Gorm leader.but you can call me Scarface” He said from a soft voice breaking out into a deep,evil voice.The mighty Gorm leader drew his sword hoping for a emusing battle fight with the pathetic,weak children to the person they call chief who is absolutely pathetic.He emerges from the shadows “Are you the disgusting creature who attacked MY father!” Podkin snarled, “Yes,it was my pleasure,now lets fight!” The leader nastily shouted.

“My pleasure” Pes yelled demarmendly.”You…fight me im not sorry for laughing it’s so funny!” Scarface collapsed from laughing to the ground. “I’ll help!” Pupkin yelled “To late” The Gorm leader snapped his fingers.Instantly a soldier came up grabbing the children.Podkin started yelling in pain.”Pupkin!” Pes screamed Pes chopped his ear off as she saw it was causing him pain.”Let’s go boys” Scarface announced.

Chapter 4-The escape

The Gorm walked into the darkness and into the secret trapdoor that the iron giants stomped down.Carrying the poor rabbits by the scruff.Boss” a Gorm called “I can’t walk anymore” “shut your snout ,continue walking and stop being such a little kitten” Scarface snapped back. He was amazed that he answered back but also was left silent. “Wow you really are a kitten” another Gorm called “Oh shut your cotton tail” He snarled “were here” Scarface said. Thud! The helpless,unconscious bunnies were thrown to the brick like floor.Hours later, all three rabbits woke up and they had a friend called sky they met.

A big,gumball looking rabbit came in staring at the four rabbits and not a blink from his crusty,bloodshot eyes.A sound os howling broke out “Bless my poor soul” The gumball figure said “It’s the hell hound, you kids stay here and if move a muscle your dead”He ran off leaving them all alone.A injured fox showed up ching on the rusty iron bars that instantly snapped.”Squeek squeek” Puke said amazed “Err close” the fox confused “You can talk” All four children screamed.”Yes now come with me” The fox said unipressingly.

“Sky!” Podkin yelled. Sky got stuck in the cage and got stabbed.”There’s no time for her,get going”The fox called still running.They reached a dead end.They felt defeated.”Don’t stop running” The fox yelled.They walked into the wall finding themselves outside in the snow.A hawk was there and it looked looked like it was waiting for them.” Hop on I don’t bite,I promise your safe” The hawk finally said Three rabbits hopped on and flash they were in the air.”Don’t worry about talking i’ll do all the thinking” Hawk said.Three hours later they were on a island with all the animals who were captured with them.

Two years later, “Squeak squeak” a Rat sound has awaked.

Chapter 3 -Trouble

Bobkin, Bob and Rob were eating carrot cake in the carrot cave when suddenly the floor started to shake and paintings were falling off the wall. BANG! The door burst down and it was the Gorm… AAAAA! Bob and Rob screamed as Bobkin told them to run away. A hand came towards them and snatched them.

Chapter 4 – prison

Bobkin, Bob and Rob had been captured by the Gorm and taken to his prison. They woke up in a dark dingy cave, smelling of the juice in the bottom of the bin and rabbit sweat. They could hear the screams of other rabbits getting killed. Bobkin thought of an idea to escape.

Escape

Bobkin called his brothers Bob and Rob to escape. They slid through the gaps of the cage and ran as fast as they could. They went back to their home and home and saw their mum and dad . As it was bramblemus eve they put up their decorations and bramble bush. 

Ending

Bob and Rob wanted Bobkin to read them a the night before bramblemus Bobkin tucked them into their bed and began to read “ twas the night before bramblemus when all threw the burrow not a creature was stirring not even a mouse…” Bob and Rob fell asleep. The next morning, Bob and Rob exitedly jumped out their beds eager to open their presents. They dashed to their parents room and woke them up and then they went to Bobkins room to only find that he was missing…

“It’s Ok” Milly said peacefully,taking another step forwards “What are you doing?” I hissed at her.No reply.I can tell she’s trying her hardest to stay calm.

It’s red eyes fixed on both of us with its head tilted to one side.”Were not going to harm your kitten”I followed on.Milly opens her arms to signal for a hug and that she’s no her or the little one.It seems she’s listening to us.It gives us a low pur.MIlly is communicating with the Catmander and its working!

“If it’s alright with you we’ll be leaving now”I said trying not to be scared of what might happen.We step past her but I look back for one last time.I see the shining stars above the crystal blue sea and the moon hanging in the the inky black sky and the plane soaring among the clouds like a bird.I get brought back to reality with it taking a low bow and leaving us alone at the mouth.Finally,were safe at last.

Outside,I have a sigh of relief.Inside,I hear the plonk of the cousin as the Catmander lays next to the kitten Catmander keeping it safe.

We walk on the pear and talk.Nobody and I mean nobody must find the Catmander and the kitten, we must protect them.Milly ranbals on,on what we need to do.Her tiny brain is honestly full off ideas.I listen as she talks i light speed.I can tell she determined.

BY the time we walked round,the town has awaken.The sun rising above the salty water.It casts shadows across the beach.Lizzie opening up her flower shop and kathrine sitting in her deck chair waving and smiling at us.

Can we keep the kitten a secret from prying eyes?

That afternoon,we talked.It’s only just begun.

Chapter 2

“What was that?” the girl worriedly asked.”It’s just the tree from out the front” I replied.”OK”she shouted “I guess I should tell you my name i’m Milly Lime but you can call me mil.” “I’m Lilly Cactus and I guess you can call me Lil.”I mentioned “Why are you here and what’s chasing you?” Mil looked at me for a moment then looked away and said “I came here for you Lil,I came here for you to help me found out more about the Catmander and what’s chasing me,well I just told you the Catmander.”

I whispered to myself the Catmander “We best be off” Mil declared “What,why?” I asked her “What about Shadow?” Milly questioned “Whose Shadow?” “My cat,nevermind let’s just go” I said with a sarcastic voice but actually meant it.We left the closed arcade “come down here,i remember the poster!”Milly said with full confidence.15 minutes later we heard a ow growl almost a per as the mist came out blurring our vision but we did see the eerie glow of the impulsive red eyes as its rattly bones clang together.

The eyes glow get closer and closer then all of a sudden SCRATCH! The jet black and small cat scratched my arm with its enormous claws as sharp as butcher knives.It sprints away with an impressive amount of speed leaving us standing there in the tiny,narrow alleyway. 

Prologue

You’ve probably been to Wonder-on-Sea.In the summer,you possibly sat on a low deck chair and ate the flavorful ice-creams.When you visit their you would have made sandcastles and would of eaten salty fish and chips.You probably explored the rock pool and got taken to the seaside museum.It’s that kind of place…in summer.

But in winter,there’s no deck chairs to be seen and no ice-creams to be eaten.There’s nobody determined to make sandcastles,no one exploring the rock pool.Snow falls into the sea that turns it ice cold,rain soaking the sands and hail pinging of the ground.This place is a terrible place to be…especially when the mists out.

Chapter one

My name is Lilly Cactus but most people call me Lily.I work at the Lazer Arcade,I am a game tester but I also make sure there in good condition all the time.In my free time I clean the place.I live in a small room under the Arcade with a heater,bed,mini fridge to keep all my food in and my pet shadow (my black cat) to give me company.

It’s really busy in the summer but in winter there’s very few people,it might as well be closed but business is business.

I started walking to my room when I heard a scraping sound.I looked around for about 4  minutes and I saw this girl hiding inside a cardboard box underneath the window,that had been opened,”hide me” she begged.I locked the window as fast as could so I started searching for a ********** coming”the strange girl whispered.”We must hide immediately!”

I must interrupt to tell you about an ancient legend that no one remembers the date to or even the first person who told it.Local legends tell a story of a beast that leaves the water when it’s exactly midnight,a full moon and when the mist has formed.It prowls the streets and roars like a lion hunting for its prey.Apparently,it is a type of Mander to be specific the Catmander.If anyone heard it’s claws on the floor and it’s stomps on the ground they would turn of the lights,close the curtains and lock the doors and windows.

Some say they are looking for a child.Others say it has a liking for children for some unknown reason.Some say it cries for all the sacrifices it’s made.

“Why do we need to hide?”I hissed “Who are you?”

“It’s chasing me” the whispered in a stressful tone“what-”I was cut of by a scratching sound on the wall.

These dangerous Catmanders can be dangerous in a variety of ways.It’s closely related to the Malamander,but they act mildly different.

The large,red eyes stare deep into your soul,powerful ears that can sense whatever it wants from a whole country away! But beware it’s cuteness can turn into a nightmare, a horrible,horrible nightmare as it’s three tails can swing at you like metal chains and their claws as sharp as butcher knives which will pierce through your delicate skin.WARNING!:every razor sharp fur on their body holds poison!

It eats the vicious Piranhas with their vampire-like teeth,what they do is they suck out all the blood then they eat the remains (meat and bones).On special occasions they eat children from 13-16 and sharks.But for some unknown reason they seem to be friends with the Blobmander.These Catmanders are no ordinary cats as they live in both land and water.The Catmanders give itself a waterproof cover so it doesn’t get wet when it goes underwater this happens when they groom themselves.If for some reason they feel like being hunted they go underwater and find a place to hide so it doesn’t be killed.

A main concern is that children have gone missing since the first sighting in an abandoned building.On the other hand,the Catmanders are being hunted for their fur to be put onto weapons.The public are unsure what to do,please give us advice.

Dear Diary,

I came to Cheerie-On-Sea for a reason and it was meant to be bitten from a slimy,needle like monster.It happened just after midnight when I was taking my dog Baxter out for a walkon the sandy beach when I heard the sloppy sounding growl from the freezing,misty sea.

I turned round to sea what it was then I when I saw that the environment had changed-there were rocks formed in a circle were the noise was coming from.Then drip,drip a faint sound from behind me drip,drip it got louder drip,drip.Then the next thing I knew was I was being hugged.I saw blood.

It bit my shoulder as my dog growled and leapt forward.He knocked the hideous creature to the ground and bit it’s leg,But it was then gone in a blink of an eye!

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to feel free?

Then come to our Grand Nautilus hotel in the famous town of 

Cheerie-On-Sea! With our tropical,luxurious,crystal blue sea with shiny,golden sands,but I will say no more as you will be staying here.It’s the best rated place in the country.

Be stunned by our crispy,sweet croissants being served every morning,But you ask whatever you’d like to eat and we’d make it (Just like you make our menu) We have lovely staff to help you with anything you need.In the rooms,that are full of character,have small bottles of shampoo and conditioner just in case you forget them and you can take them home.We have spare blue robes if you need any.So what are you waiting for?

We have so many local attractions so sit back and relax while I tell you.We have a leisure centre incase you have a fear of the sea,massive arcades that are low price,gyms to push your limits just like them parks and sport courts,most importantly,parents put your children in the kids club while you’re in the Nightcove bar with a disco floor!

New this year:

• We have a new restaurant. It’s an all you can eat dessert.
• We have a new offer,children and pets eat for free.

It doesn’t have to be the sharp and smooth flint houses on Gashouse Drove.

Or the wedge of swans protecting the young.

Or the heart shaped leaves gliding down from the tall trees.

It could be the glint of the Walkers crisp packet on the side of the road that a young child was too little to put in the bin.

Or wild blackberries waiting to be picked and made into a lovely blackberry pie.

Or a book with the scent of the old library waiting to be returned.

Be inquisitive as a squirrel looking inside a classroom waiting for the children to be free.

Regard how the mundane can become unforgettable

Even the crow sitting on an old branch was thankful for the bird seed. 

“AAHH” a helpless woman cried, waking up the frightened little rabbit,Pes “what was that?” she asked herself as she heard the sound of iron scraping against each other CLASH SCRAPE! “How long have you been awake!” Pes wondered.
