The Silent Thunder Part 3

 

Maxwell ran for his life he screamed and called out for Marietta but then he noticed that she wasn’t beside him he looked back and saw Marietta calling out. The leopard sat back on its haunches and started batting its tail on the floor. Next it revealed the most luxurious wings like the ones of a majestic eagle. Maxwell started running back. was it going to attack?  But at that moment Marietta climbed onto the leopard’s back. Its wings spread, the leopard-eagle creature started flapping it wings. He ran to catch up and jumped. His sister grabbed his hand had and hauled him up. They flew around on her back for what seemed like hours. They saw the island from above and flew, dangerously close, to the top of the vile volcano that seamed to be filled with melted hot caramel instead of lava!

 

Finally, they landed. It was a sunset that looked like an oil-pastel painting that had been propped up in front of them. As Marietta flopped against Maxwell she wondered, would they ever find their parents? Were they even on this island?

The next few days consisted of Marietta and the leopard-eagle, which they later named Felicity, racing across the beach.  Maxwell whittled sticks, made fires and collected materials to bring on the journey they were about to make. The days were filled with lots of laughter and joy.

 

 

Chapter 3

A thorny tail could be seen scraping its way along the rusted wall of the Wind Whipper. Mimi screeched with excitement and raced towards the something which was now butting its bony forhead against the metal side of the airship, which seemed to be taking it rather well. Mimi, whose hair  was static, had an urge to drag it onboard. “It’s a dragon!”she shouted looking down.

“Just a baby though but still!” Seth was stammering behind a barrel. Now he shouted “it’s a DRAGON leave it alone” But it was too late. Mimi was belting toward her litter picker she had decided to use to retrieve the monster. She let it down and closed the claws firmly over the victim’s strong body

“Grab a towel,“ Mimi snapped to Seth who was backing away hoping she had not noticed “and some gloves”

“Alright,”he scoffed back , although he had a tiny doubt in his mind. Had Mimi gone mad? What if its Mother found them and thought they were stealing it , they’d be sausages! But what would they feed it? What did dragons eat? They would never sleep with a howling nightmare just outside the door.

Chapter 3- New to the crew

It was actually a scream of joy that came from his sister; “James, James! Come quick!” Squealed Sophie, “ It’s a unicorn foal, and the tip of its horn is broken!” Once again, the unicorn tapped the pellucid window, obviously in pain. James hobbled over to a nearby seat, and quivered on it. Euphoric, Sophie bolted into the cockpit and clambered up onto the pilot’s bunk, where there sat, and silently so, a large, steel bucket. Sophie wasn’t stupid; she grabbed a large handful of enticing thornberries, a unicorn’s favourite treat! Alarmed by this harmless creature, James checked above himself for an oxygen mask. Sophie hauled the steel bucket over to seat B’s window, of which was blocking the injured unicorn’s path to its benevolent helpers.Unlocking the latch, Sophie leaned forward so far that she nearly fell out! Gently, Sophie lowered down the chipped bucket, which contained the berries. The unicorn foal took one look at the metal being and trotted away.

A moment later, the foal cantered back, delicately smelling the thornberries. Coaxed by this tempting treat, the foal, and reluctantly, hitched itself up the lip of the bucket. Realising that the foal was still weeks old and needed care, James took a deep breath and prepared for instructions; “Grab the suitcase!” Yelled Sophie. He fetched the suitcase from his footwell, doubt in his mind. Would strict no-nonsense Captain O’leana agree to this foolish bribery. Of course he didn’t want to admit his worries to his sister, who was so benevolent to this poor soul, but he knew he ought to.

Chapter Three

A paw? A body? Something strange? I gazed at the unknown animal in awe and fear. All of a sudden, I noticed something. It made a noise. A meow more like. It was a cat! Shona screamed and hid behind a bush. “W-what …is that?!” The look on her face suggested that she had never seen a cat before. Suddenly, just as I was about to say something, the cat did something. It glowed! A warm golden glow. “ What’s it doing?” Shona questioned.” I don’t actually know. But it feels nice. Sort of tingly. “ I added. I laughed as the beautiful golden cat rubbed against my tired leg. I stared closely. “Wait! Its leg looks like it’s hurt! “

Shona, whose tail was slipping and sliding behind her, hurried herself into a huge storeroom full of chests and barrels and rifled around for what she was looking for. Hair standing on end, she rushed back to Emily as soon as she had found what she was searching for. Emily raised her eyebrows in surprise as Shona slivered past her at the strange thing she had found. Shona slid onto the filthy floor and held out the catnip to the purring ginger cat. Slowly, she enticed it onto the deck and it disappeared down the stairs.

“Get the pillow ready!” Shouted Emily at me. I slivered off immediately. What was Emily thinking? Didn’t she know this bizarre creature could scratch us at any minute or escape when we weren’t looking? “It can sleep and eat on the pillow!” Emily yelled. So nevertheless, I pulled myself together and rushed off to the storeroom to get a pillow.

Chapter 3: A New Guest

Chapter 3

Suddenly he heard a noise and looked up.Above her, a cute dragon was flying! If he was five again he would have fainted but now Jerry was much older, wiser and braver! The dragon was lilac and shot  out what he thought were lavender sparks. Jerry opened the window to try and lure it in but then he realised that all he needed was a treat so he rushed the freezer to see if there was anything and there was an ice cream it was blueberry flavoured. He placed it on the window ledge and the dragon flew straight in. He suddenly shouted, ‘’ Flurr get the barrel!”shaking like an earthquake, Flurr hid in the back corner (the one furthest away from the window). Tense was spreading around the room. Will captain be happy?

The steps out side

All of a Sudden Lucky heard a noise and sprang back into the wall.

Tod, who was not a scared person, sprinted towards the mysterious sound. Peering over the side, Tod

Saw to his amazement it was an eagle with a broken wing “OW!” cried Tod “what” “are you dead?”

“No look at the eagle’s wing,” remarked Tod.

“ow that does look sore,” replied Lucky, looking sorrowfully at it.

“GET THE POISON FREE GLOVES!” shoutedTod as they pulled it on board.

Then they realised it had an ability to grow…

The magic newcomer

Chapter Three – The Magic Newcomer

 

Something was lurking in the field of grass! Oliver, who’s hand was shaking, reached out and pushed the grass to one side. Underneath was what looked like a baby pixie! It had beautiful blue eyes, a small pink nose, floaty gold wings and an indigo flower carefully placed on her blond silky hair.

Alice quickly tiptoed towards the pixie, whose face twinkled, trying not to frighten her, she scooped her up, gently placing her in one of Alice’s shoes. The pixie, whose face was now smiling and giggling, seemed to have no mother or father. Oliver, who had now realised she wasn’t all that bad, peered over and wondered what she was called. They decided to call her Echo. Oliver was still slightly unsure though, “What if her mother comes back!” he mentioned. “She won’t,” Alice assured him. They headed to the beach to assemble a camp for the night.

The Griffin

 

They had heard a loud thud from the other side of the ship. Ava rushed over to discover what happened, but could not see anything but the lush emerald grass below. So where had that noise come from? She thought. THUMP! A creature had landed before, half lion half eagle, at first sight she knew what it was; a legendary griffin. But this one looked smaller than normal ones, maybe a baby? She twisted her body to call Finn but when she turned back it was gone.

Meanwhile, Finn had wandered into what used to be the captain`s cabin, abruptly he sensed he was not alone. Behind him stood the creature. He turned around shaking, “W-w-what do y-you want?” he asked anxiously, the animal squawked and started scuttling towards him. He tried to backed away but the wall of the cabin was behind him.

After spending five minutes frozen in terror, he realised that if it meant harm it would have done so ages ago. So, he took a deep breath in and crouched down. “Well your quite lovely aren`t you?” he stated imagining this was Apple their old dog they owned before Dad disappeared.” I`ll call you Gloria,” he announced. As this bond was forming, he found himself happily rubbing the griffin as his own pet.

“Finn!” Ava called as she burst the door open to find him and Gloria together.

“Ava!” He yelped happily, “Meet Gloria!”

“You named the griffin!? She asked. “I don`t think Captain Rusty would be happy with this,” Ava issued as she glared at the griffin with disgust.

Adventure on the Roaring Fish Chapter 3

Adventure on the Roaring Fish

Chapter 3

Something was appearing from behind the active volcano! Claudia, who was trying to not make a noise, accidentally stood on a twig and it split in half. Worrying, she hid behind Claude as the species revealed its identity. When Claudia and Claude saw the animal it was a big, chubby, fluffy multicoloured ostrich.

Claude screamed in fear, not realising it was just a harmless ostrich. Claudia’s eyes glistened in the sun as she took a look at the bird, she immediately loved it. She tried to warn Claude off so he wouldn’t whack the poor thing with a wooden plank.

“My name is Ferb” replied the ostrich. “Claude, we have a talking bird!” shouted Claudia while Claude was trying to control his instinct to scare it away. They were right they did have a talking bird. But was it going to be any help?
