Chapter 3

Chapter 3  

 

Finn, whose ego was as fragile as a baby sparrow’s tiny footprint in the snow, stared around at his breath-taking surroundings. In the distance he saw a glow. Finn could tell that Harley had noticed it to because she had that look on her face, a smile that spread across her face from ear to ear. Harley-Quin Blakely, who was named after her grin, took one look at her brother then darted towards the faint glow in the distance. After a while, the siblings reached the forest with searing arms and numb legs as though molten-hot lava had been injected into their veins slowly turning to stone.  

 

Looming above them, was a glow as bright as the sun, in fact it was the sun encased in every pod was a drop of pure, golden sunlight. One million berries on each tree so one million drops of golden sunlight on every single tree, amazing… 

 

Slowly Harley came back to reality, realising that Finn was no longer by her side. No, she thought he can’t have left, how long had she been standing there mesmerised?  

 

She swerved around, the misty sky was now shades of purple and blue and the horizon was just merging with the polished, ebony ocean. Her heart was thumping in her chest surely, she would die of heart explosion, wait a minute was that even a thing? Quickly, see grasped the rucksack on her back pulling out a clear divided container then she plucked ten glow berries and placed them inside. She sighed facing the other side of the island, then placing the container in her bag she started to run.

Chapter 3

 

Olivia screeched, as she finally, after two full days of work, finished the raft. “JAMES! JAMES! IT’S FINISHED!” screamed Olivia, James suddenly heard her shout and immediately ran towards the lake in utter excitement. As he stopped right beside the raft, he stared at it with a glimmer in his eyes. He kneeled down to carefully touch the masterpiece. The raft looked amazing, it had a wooden base with small princess stickers stuck onto it, his sister must have put them on. When you looked at the front of the boat you would see a long flat stick, resting there for them to paddle with. Then at the back James built a small motor from some of the leftovers that had broken off the sky ship when it had crashed, but the best part was the small messy writing reading, ‘JAMES’S AND OLIVIA’S RAFT’ that his sister must have written on with his pen. James looked astonished, he gave Olivia a massive hug and told her to pack her rucksack.

 

Two hours had passed, James and Olivia leapt onto the raft. Without even thinking about it, James grabbed the paddle and started to move it back and forth into the water. “James where are we going?” asked Olivia with a worried look in her eyes, He told her how they’re going to the other island and how its going to be an adventure, Olivia nodded and gripped onto his shoulders, ready to leave.

“AHHH” they screamed as the raft suddenly tipped over, what happened? Why did they tip? “HOWDIE I’M JOINING YA’LL” an American cowgirl accent came from behind them “Sorry I tipped your boat over,” the girl said whilst staring at the raft as it sinks into the water, “Who are you?” James asked whilst staring at her angrily. She told them how she had lived on the island for two years and now she’d found them. James angrily ran towards camp and sobbed in his hammock, “My name is Sammy by the way, and I apologize for making you upset…” she said before sitting cross legged on the bark ground in their camp. James told her to go away, and then he climbed out of his hammock, he needed to find Olivia and tell her that they’re building the raft again. James couldn’t see her though…

 

“OLIVIA! OLIVIA! WHERE ARE YOU?” he yelled whilst rapidly searching the desert. Olivia was nowhere to be seen. As James stormed back towards the hammock, he sat deeply in it and rested his face into his hands. Where was she?

 

He sadly lifted his head up and stared at Sammy with an angry look in his eyes. Then, he jumped up and explained to Sammy how he was going to find her. Sammy immediately sprung up and happily skipped toward him, but he didn’t want her to come. Without warning, he shoved her with all his might and she flopped into the painful bark laying on the ground. He sprinted off in pure anger. James’s hair pulled back as he sprinted out into the desert, his dirty brown hoodie drooped down as it pulled up his arms. His heart was pounding aggressively as his body felt as sour as ever, he had never run this fast nor had he ever felt this exhausted before. He stopped. He breathed. And he felt all dizzy.

 

Worried, he flopped himself over to a nearby palm tree and rested himself next to it whilst rubbing his leg in pain. James suddenly saw a small pocket knife sat next to him, he reached for it, grabbed it and slipped it into his pocket. As soon as he could he pulled himself up, he started to drag himself along the ground. He had found it; the number one main object he needed. James thought for a second, he could use this knife… but he can’t tell anyone he had it.

 

He heard a loud bang! He couldn’t stop he had to carry on further, James stared up at the bright pastel yellow sun and feared going further, he felt like he was going to faint. But this was his sister he was rescuing… he shifted himself up whilst sweat was running of his face like an ice mountain, its snow almost erupting as it falls. He took almost five seconds taking each step one by one, his legs were jelly and his arms felt like lead, there was nothing else he could do but walk. Suddenly he heard a scream, it sounded like his sister! She has a high pitch scream and it slowly dissolves into a sudden burst of breath, and that was the scream he just heard, it must have been Olivia!

Silent Noise

 

 

That morning, Ria and Dylan were awoken by an ombre sunrise glistering at them, as Ria stepped out of the temporary log cabin that They had made from some branches and leaves, she spotted a man wandering around looking clueless as if he had been hit on the head with a sauce pan. At that moment Dylan emerged from the cabin with a plate of something that Ria really didn’t want to know what it was, it looked like a plate of burnt slugs, “Do you want to try may mystery dish” asked Dylan, she gave a little shriek as one of the burnt slugs wiggled, Ria said in a queasy voice “No why would I?”

Dylan dropped his mystery dish in shock as he spotted the man that looked like the pilot. The children decided to wander up to the man as they got closer they realised that it was him there was something down by his feet that looked like a tortoise but it was a lot bigger. As the pilot spotted them he looked at them as if he was to say what were they doing there.

As Dylan started to try to drag the pilot back to the cabin, Ria wanted to have a look at the creature on the floor. The animal was curled up in a tight ball as if it was about to freeze, she quickly scooped up the animal in her arms and ran back to the cabin. Dylan had tried to make a small bed for the pilot to recover.

Dylan noticed the creature curled up in Ria’s arms, He automatically tried to touch but ria didn’t want to scare the it so she told if Dylan not to touch the animal it wouldn’t get frightened.

 

That afternoon, the pilot had woken up from a sleep that seemed to last forever. He was as grumpy as usual but the good news was that he wasn’t acting as if he had just been hit on the head with a sauce pan. The creature was refusing to leave the cabin, so they decided that would try to take it out another time.

The children had made a small area for the creature so it couldn’t escape, as the sun went down they said goodnight and drifted off to sleep.

The Basilisk, Chapter 3

The Basilisk, Chapter 3

 

 

It was soon the morning and Ug had suggested they should go to Fig Field. Mary wanted to go but Bill was hesitating; eventually Mary managed to drag him there. They sat down on the soggy grass but then they realised something was crawling around them. Bill, whose hands trembled, slid away in the opposite direction to the creature but Mary rushed curiously towards it. She could just make out something that was crawling through the undergrowth.

 

“It looks like a baby Basilisk!” exclaimed Mary. Mary was trying to figure out why a baby basilisk was on Fig Field. It had orange eyes that were staring into Mary’s soul. She was wondering if it got separated from its mother in the storm. Bill was thinking they should leave it alone but Mary thought the opposite. “We can’t leave it alone it has lost its mother!” shouted Mary.

“Fine, we can keep it,” said Bill reluctantly.

The Dead Poppy Chapter 3

Chapter 3

 

In the morning the ghost bat woke up. The ghost bat was like no other bat. It was the king, and he ran away from all the others because he was scared to be the king of bats at age 12. The bat king is like the king but more powerful, there is no limits to what they can do, because every year after they have been crowned, they get a power. The ghost bat family always have a weird name; this generations name is Delaney, and it means ‘Dark Challenger’. She got the name because when she was a baby, she tried to kill someone but that is in the past. When Elm and Begon woke up they decided to go towards a blob of orange that looked like a village.

 

When they got there, they saw that the name of the village was Conte.  Conte was bright orange and sand covered it as well as the fighting school. The minute Begon saw the fighting school she ran over and an old woman said, “Don’t go in there nobody comes out.” But Begon did not listen and went straight in there. Elm was slowly following Begon, he heard what the lady said and decided to wait for Begon because she can defeat anything and any one in seconds. Elm had gone into the cross-legged position and started to pray his sister would come out.

 

Meanwhile, Begon was having the time of her life defeating everything in her path. She was on the final stage when suddenly an evil spirit, that had no face and hundreds of weapons, tried to kill Begon but she dodged it. The evil spirit started to use it powers and the floor started to float in the air. Begon was in the middle of two planks, so she slipped, held on with all her strength and just managed to pull herself up. Delaney saw what happened, flew all the way up and turned into a human with wings! Begon was in shock. “So, we meet again my friend,” said the spirit. “Is that you Thana?” asked Delaney. “Yes,” she replied just as they were about to hug. After they had made up, the spirit let Begon go. She made her promise never ever to eat another person and to teach the people to fight instead.

The Thunder Bolt-Chapter 3

Suddenly, Buddy came panting, tripping over his heels; he had finally come back to his rightful owners!

“Buddy! Naughty boy!” Ruby rebuked. Buddy whined, then turned around and started wagging his tail at something in the distance. Something was rustling in the bushes; Leo skidded back at the sound. Ruby rushed over and gestured for Leo to join her.

Leo shook his head vigorously and whined, “Oh, no! You are not getting me in another bad situation! I’ve had enough, we need to build a camp for the night, it’s getting dark!”

“Don’t be such a baby! Follow me!” Ruby replied. Annoyed, Leo crossed his arms and followed his sister, who was brushing away the leaves. Laying there, feathers scarlet red, was a baby phoenix, who sneezed out ashes all over Ruby. “Aww! What a sweetheart!” Cautiously, Ruby lifted him in the palm of her hands, the baby giggling at her and nudging her arm for tickles. “Leo, isn’t he amazing? Leo? LEO?” She realised her brother had run away at the sight, and she found him concealed behind a tree. “This is why I always win at hide-and-seek: you just hide behind trees.

Leo screamed, “Get the beast away from me!” The phoenix let out a huge burp, and fire burst out his nostrils, like a volcano

“Pardon you! I’m gonna call you Ash!” Ruby said kindly.

“We’re naming the beast now?” Leo yelled to his sister. Ash growled, and snuggled into Ruby.

“Oh, shush, Leo!” Suddenly, a ferocious bird swept down from the sky, his claws like coat hangers, ready to swallow Ash in one gulp. Until a man wearing explorer’s clothes snatched the bird and punched him.

“Why, hello children. What on Earth are you doing in The Wilders?” spoke the man, with a smile like the crescent moon.

“Phew! A human being! I can finally talk to someone! So, now may you please take us to the way out of this godforsaken place!” Leo interrogated the man, but he just laughed.

“There is no way out! I’ve been here for fourteen years now!” the man informed Leo.

“What?”

“I’m William Scott by the way! I’m the best explorer of all time, look me up on Google.”

“Pleasure to meet you. I’m Leo and this is my…unique sister: Ruby,” Leo grinned, joyous to find that someone was on the island. The only thing was that Ruby didn’t trust this ‘William Scott’ one bit. He had something about his copper-colour eyes that she just didn’t trust, like they were faking something. He tickled Buddy, who didn’t seem to mind, even though he hates it when strangers play with him.

“What have you got there?” William Scott asked with a smile, noticing a red blur in Ruby’s hand.

Ruby stuck her tongue out at him and said, “It’s none of your business!”

Mr Scott told her, “It can’t be that bad!” He peered over her shoulder and was about to say something, but it never came out. He stood there, stunned. “Is that a baby phoenix? Ruby, if that is your name, this is an incredible discovery! I thought they were extinct but…I just can’t believe it,” he gasped, and paused for second, pondering for a moment. “How about you come to my camp for the night? It’s getting dark outside, and it’s terribly dangerous and cold out here.”

“We’re fine on our own, thank you,” Ruby responded promptly.

Leo kicked her and said, “Ruby! You silly girl! Of course, we would love to come, Mr Scott.” William beamed, grabbing them by the arm.  Ash looked at Ruby with fear rubbed all over his face: they both didn’t trust this.

At the camp, William Scott took them to a colossal tent, filled with fellow explorers, and the twins noticed a monkey sitting on a table.

“Hello, boy!” Ruby called, stroking its fur gently, but to her surprise the monkey slapped her hand away.

“Oi! Don’t you touch me!” the monkey said to everyone’s astonishment.

“Ahh! You talk!” Leo shrieked.

“What are you gawping at? Ain’t you ever seen a talking monkey before?” the monkey, whose name was Bobo, snapped.

“Sorry.”

“This is Bobo, my noble companion!” William Scott answered.

Hours passed. Ruby and Leo lay in their beds, staring at the ceiling, until Leo drifted off. Ruby was wide awake though. She didn’t even flinch. Scaring the life out of her, Bobo tapped her on the shoulder.

“Bobo, what are you-”

“There’s something you must see!” Bobo interrupted seriously. Buddy and Ash trailed behind the pair, when Bobo unleashed a secret vault, that was full of cages. They all had about five animals in. Captured animals. Ruby gasped at the horrific sight, as animals whimpered and screeched.

“What is this?” Ruby sobbed, as silver tears feel down her cheeks. The pair of pets (Buddy and Ash) were as shocked as Ruby was.

“It’s William. He came on this island to capture all the incredible animals, including me. It’s for scientific research, so that he can win some stupid award or something. He’s cruel, beats us. He makes us race each other for entertainment, and then keeps us locked up the rest of the time. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t tell you this, but he wants to steal Ash, make him a slave,” Bobo burst out, like it had all been piling up inside him for forever.

“Well, then I guess we must get out of here. With you. And all of these animals: every bird, every mouse, every crazy and amazing creature, big to small,” Ruby told Bobo.

Bobo sighed and said, “Oh, Ruby. You have a heart of gold, don’t you? I just don’t see how this will work!”

“Well, I guess you’re going to find out!”

The four sprinted back to the camp, right up to Leo. Ruby shook him from side to side, making him awake from his deep slumber.

“What was that for?” Leo moaned.

“Leo, we must get out of here.”

“What, why? William’s been so kind to us!”

“I know, but he isn’t to animals. We must get out of here and save them all.”

“Ruby I-”

“What did Mum always say? Well, that ‘to do the right thing is the best thing, even if it’s hard.’ Come on, Leo! For once in your life, be brave!”

“Okay, I’ll do it. I just don’t understand how,” Leo replied.

“Maybe this big, strong man will help?” asked Bobo, the twins turning around to find that it was none other than their uncle!

“Captain Storm-Breaker!” Ruby cried with joy.

The Adventure Of a Lifetime chapter 3

Azari rubbed her eyes, knowing they were playing tricks on her. A shiver of mystery shot through her body. She glanced round the room, looking for a hole in the wall. At the end of the hall there was light peeking through a crack. She felt ecstatic; a way out, a way to live. Just to be sure she whipped out her map which she had programmed to say where she was. The people of the village had told her every little aspect of the island making sure nothing was missed. She located herself. She paused… she was in the Tunnel of Life and Death! One wrong step and she would be gone for sure.

At that moment she heard a faint scratching on the wall behind. Slowly she turned around a saw a miniature hippodoodle. Azari, whose eyes glimmered with curiosity, slowly edged towards the creature. She had read about them in a book once called ‘Animals in the Mountains’. Though she knew they were real, she never thought she would meet them. She sat down on the floor and encouraged it to come closer. Her fingers trembled as she slipped them through the soft thin layer of hair. She decided to call it Alden, meaning ‘wise friend’, hoping he would guide her out of misery.

Alden led her towards the light, almost showing her that it was safe. She stretched out her hand feeling for the wall, she felt nothing but air. She reached further in, she took a step. Soon her whole body was submerged. Too scared to go too far, she put one foot in front of the other feeling her way through. Azari worried about Keoni and how he was alone at night in the ship. She wondered if the crew had come back or if they had been in an accident. She tried to figure out how much time had passed, it felt like minutes but she knew it had been hours or possibly even days. The more she walked, the more thoughts rushed into her head; the thoughts about her mother and father and how they must be dreadfully afraid, that they have been captured or worse killed.

After a short period of time, Azari and Alden emerged from the light, slightly tired and breathless. Immediately, she saw Keoni sitting by a fire looking glum. He spun round as he heard Azari’s voice. He sprung up from the floor and sprinted towards her without another thought in his head. Soon he was being suffocated by Azari’s bushy brown hair. The crew had all seen the odd-looking creature trotting behind her. Noticing the awkward looks from her friends, she told everyone that Alden was friendly and he was the reason she was there with them. Keoni was quick to agree as he had to listen to Azari give long lectures about mysterious beasts. She gave the crew some information like their personality hoping they would agree. They all thought that a hippodoodle would be a great addition to the team and accepted Alden as a friend.

The new crew member

As they flew back on the air ship above the deadly quick sand. The crew finally landed on the air ship. But little did they know a new born baby air spirit was peacefully sleeping in its egg shell missing its mother. Were could she be? As the Crew searched for her mother not able to find her, until they looked down. Just in time, an island had the mother of the baby was lying on the ground bleeding nonstop, she was DEAD!!! The Crew could not believe what they had laid their eyes on! They could not just leave a baby by itself who knows how is out there in the endless clouds. The baby had mysterious teal eyes that would make you say awwwww, a lilac body and a baby pink hair The young air spirit gently pushed its eye lids and started to pear around and the first thing the baby laid its eyes on was Nala immediately they made a connection to each other. The air spirit mumbled.

“Mama mama”

Nala fearfully scooped up the baby and reapplied

“I am not your mother, we think she has passed away”

Sadder than a rainy day the baby sky spirit cried

“Really”

“Sadly yes”

Nala understood the baby air spirit was miserable but the whole crew helped to make the air spirit as happy as a sunny day.
