Dogamander

  I’m on my feet running but there is a back of the cave facing me.The red glows and has tiny freckles of gold. We are trapped! Just then Sophie starts to talk, in a lovely, soothing voice. “Everything is going to be OK,” she says, taking a step. I know that she’s trying to calm herself and release her fear. The Dogamander stops and bends his head by the side. Its red bloody eyes are fixed on us. “We’re not harming you or your egg. We’ll keep you safe.” Sophie pulls her hands out to show that she is no threat. They stand firm and stare at each other. The Dogamander seems to listen. It gives bark; the spines on its back lowers. I think your plan is working. Sophie is having a chat with the Dogamander and it’s working!

 We were on our way home,” says Sophie, stepping one step to the side and together we walk past the Dogamander. Its eyes locked on me and I see the depths of the sea, the glitter of so many tiny, red sparks of life. It bows its head as we pass by, safe at last.

The mist is clear. The bright moon shines and the star reaches the dark sky, their reflection sparkles In the sea. Time stood still and blank. We walk towards the promenade and talk. No one and I mean no one should find the Dogamander and her egg. Sophie goes on and on about what we need to do. She has many ideas — pretend there’s a meteorite and report to the council. Get more posters to put up, stopping people from the end of the beach as the hills are unsafe. I listen as she speaks at a pace for half an hour. She may win a trophy for talking the fastest.

 

 By the time we arrived we were walking through the town, the town was still awakening. The sun  shifts over to the still sea. It shows shadows on the other side of the stands. Billy-go-Lucky is taking out some deck chairs as if it is going to bring a lovely day for once. He says hello with a happy grin at the side of his cheeks. Henry’s Heart is opening and he’s right inside sipping a cup of tea. Mrs Teacup & Robin Jaxel shop. She puts down some piles of beach water wings for little kids,umbrellas and beach boards with all the colour you could think of. By the very time we get to the museum, traffic already starts. Cars past us to the seafront car park.

 

All evening, Sophie has her books stuck to her nose, records and ancient books. In a volume, she finds a captain’s log written in 1868. It is the story of a fishing net.  The fishermen always believed that a huge smooth and silky stone that glows in the dim light. They kept it a secret so no one and I mean no one seemed to find it till this day. Ever since then, the fisherman have vowed to capture and kill any species of mander that they might find. 

 

That evening, we talk. Our adventure isn’t over but it will get the better of us; our quest has just begun.

Kittenmander

  Chapter 3

 

A week later,we relax in my mini bedroom in the hotel.We sit silently,taking huge sips of a warm cup of hot chocolate,one of the best drinks ever.Through the window, fog makes no clearance on  the streets at midnight.Inside,we are comfortable and warm.Although,Layla has an idea.”Mayla we must go and investigate.” Here go start I think to myself. “ I know exactly where it lives.”
I figure out that Layla has spent many days in the freezing breeze,on the sea every midnight and has been searching everywhere.She claims to have seen mini fingerprints all over the sand and says that it was the ones that we saw in Miss Brown’s sweet shop but these fingerprints are in the beach near the tower.

I close down the hotel and lock all of the doors and windows and switch off all the lights before we leave.I make sure I have put on my scarves,a puffy jacket,gloves and a hat ( which I normally wear on a snowy day).We grab our torches and sneak outside.We slowly follow the fog until we reach  high in the tower.Everybody have to be at a great distant.This is scary.For Layla that seems to just be an actor.I knew I couldn’t leave her alone.She is very light-headed and still I kept following her. 
I wouldn’t believe Layla but I slowly see the fingerprints come very clear.There are tons of prints ,one of the sets of prints are leading into the tower.The other pair was leading deep into the sea. “Hurry up,let’s get ready for the moment,” she whispers in my ear as she clicks her touch.I’m not feeling any excitement but again I see Layla leading me into a dangerous topic.

The tower began to turn deep dark as we walked more and more.It smells like dirty sea water as raindrops drip.Pieces of rock, point at the torch.My heart beat as fast as it could go as we walk side to side.As I think that nothing bad is going to happen and starting to feel comfortable,Layla finds the kittenmander.There,it snuggles in the corner,with bags of seaweed as sticky fur all round.As it opens its eyes,deep eyes glow.We pause as glance in fear.The kittenmander has given birth.

During that moment,I feel ashamed and guilty.We should probably leave.”Lets’ go,” I hiss pulling on to Layla’s scarf and running carefully down the stairs back on the sandy beach.Our way of safety was blocked and something or someone was moving at the entrance of the tower.It doesn’t sound friendly.It sounds familiar,a messy screech and the sound of metal feet.We both flash our torches and there it is.The kittenmander!Layla slowly walks forwards as I stay behind.

Chapter 4

I’m ready to escape but there is only one exit facing me.The glow in the dark egg shines and I notice it was not an ordinary egg,it was a legendary egg.But we are trapped!After,Layla starts speaking,in a whispering, soft voice. “ It’s fine,”she says in her soft voice as she looks up ahead. I can see that she is trying to conquer her fears and cool down. The kittenmander takes a stop and turns its head side to side.Its amber-coloured eyes switch us both back on track.”We’re not here to harm your precious egg or a beautiful you.”We will protect you from any danger.” shouts Layla as her soft voice disappears as she lifts her arms up to show that she is harmless.They stand and give a glance at each other.The kittenmander seems to have an interest of what is going on.It gives a silent screech.I’m sure it’s working.Layla is talking to the kitten mander and it’s happening!

“We’re leaving now ,” says Layla walking down the stone stairs ( passing the kittenmander). Its amber eyes take mine and inside I see the waving-rapidly ocean and see inside of the sea of nature.It shakes its head,trim its claws and steps to the side and we pass by,staying safe at last.
The fog softs up.A golden moon brightens the beaches and the stars,the ocean sees its reflection sparkles the beach.Every thing else is still.We head back to the hotel and walk through streets,talking.Nobody must find the kittenmander or its golden egg.Layla starts to talk rapidly about what we need to do now to make sure nobody goes to the tower.Her mind is filled with thousands of ideas-pretend that there has been a flood and report it to the local council.Get huge signs,banding people from entering and that the beach is also dangerous.   

By the time we get back to the hotel,everyone wakes up.The sun corners the edge of the earth.It makes shadows across streets.Derek-go-nerdy decides to add some sun chairs since it’s a really hot day finally for once.He happily gives a wave.Miss Brown’s new cafe is finally opening today after that disaster and she’s getting ready,preparing to serve coffee and tea.Mrs Joe is serving donuts outside on her stand.Mr Mister sets out a pile of thing you’d need for the beach like water guns,floaties and sea boards in 12 different colours.When we get back to the hotel,the expected morning traffic begins.Cars start to pile up,on their way to the beaches car park.   

All week. Layla has her mind struck on books.In a huge book she finds a captain’s of ships written log from the 1900’s.It is a story of a huge fish that was bigger than a human being that was fury.Anyway,fishermen used to kill it ( not knowing it was the fury kittenmander).The captain tells that people used to call it a shark that was disguised like cats.Ever since then,the captain said that never catch these creatures every again and soon they never did.

That night we have snacks and hot chocolate and we talk.Our adventure is not over yet.It has just begun.

The catermander

5 days later and we are in my little room(with the fireplace on).We sat down in quietnes ,nibbling on some chocolate cake, my favorite cake.Outside the glass window the sky of the town was becoming foggy.Inside we were both wrapped up in warm soft blankets.However Lily has more useless ideas in her head.”Jim you have to help me.” Here we go again I thought .”I know where it lives now.”

It turns out that Lily has spent her hours in the frosty area around the pear looking left and right around the beach.She said to have seen mysterious footprints,just like the ones we found at the cinema but the one were the graveyard is. I had locked the factory and made sure that the windows were all closed including the lights before we left.At this time I made sure that we had candles and my wooly coat to stay warm.We followed the path until we got to the graveyard gates.Knowone is allowed further than this point.It is so dangerous.For Lily that  just seems to spur on her on.I know I shouldn’t leave her alone.She is clumsy and stubborn and I yet find myself flowing her. I hadn’t believed her but now her footprints are quite clear.There were two paths of prints,one leading to the misty canyons and the second one leading to the sea.”Let’s go and have a look.”calles LIlly.I am not in the mood of going to have a look and once again she was leading me into trouble

The yard is super dark and water drops into puddles.My heart pumps as we move forward into the yard.Just as i think nothing it there I began to calm down.Lily founds it.Ther is a egg in a nest.We moved forward to just to recognize it was the catermander’s egg.At that moment, I felt a slap of guilt.I felt we were not supposed to be here.”Let’s get out of here,”I whisper .We turned around  back to the path till we heard a growl coming from behind us.I sounded annoyed.We have heard it before,the loud growl,the sound  of claws scratching on trees.we turn our candles around and there it is. The Catermander.We step further and further

Vapomander chapter 3

One day later we went to my tiny room.We sit in complete silence as the sun shines brightly.I drink  small  sips of milk with smooth chocolate.The people crowding in this town are crazy.Its super warm and cozy.However jeweria had plans and went.

 

It appears she spent hours and hours in the freezing cold  next to the pier and saw suspicious footprints like the ones we saw near the black house and saw the same fur and said it could be the vapomander.

 

I lock up the hotel and clear everything and also shut shut and close the windows and blinds.I close the lights and the hotel is closed.Double check if there’s anyone  hiding.I go to my room and get in bed and go to sleep.But while i sleep i hear banging and shattering.I forgot where is JEWERIA!

 

I didn’t believe  that she got lost or captured. I went out and saw the same footprints and fur one in a pattern.One leads us back to the lake.Come on let’s seize the moment.Clicking a torch i feel like i am being bites in the spine by Jeweria.

 

It’s dark and rain drops  start to begin getting worried. Jewria got devoured and my guts began to tell me where to go.Glancing side to side I couldn’t find her.I go to a cave and i see someone could it be Jeweria or the Vapomander.I sneak in and its Vapomander and in its hand there is a half hatched egg.Could it be…

 

At that moment I felt a slap of shock. We should not be here if it’s not appropriate?I go  and look for Juweria.I keep looking everywhere and hours later i found her  but she was saying where are you.she starts to walk and i follow.i heard her saying i hope this is right.She runs and so do I.

Chapter 3

About 3 days later we are sat  in my room. It was very quiet as we were taking sips of our pomegranate juice ( my favorite juice ) Outside, an unexpected wind zoomed past my window and spread across town. Inside, we were covered with pillows and warm blankets . But as usual Aisha has other plans “Khan, come on, this is actually serious, hear me out !” Ugh here we go again . “ I know where it lives , I saw it again, I’m telling you !!”
As well as that , turns out while Aisha was searching for a home she had been through awful things limping on one leg while trying to balance herself because of the strong wind , sitting on the side of the pier with no mean and walking lengths and lengths with no rest , nor food nor water. She said that she had spotted trails of footprints just like the ones we saw, up at the mountain  but these were at an old building near the town.

I locked the museum , closed the windows and checked that all the light were switched off . This time I was prepared , i had torches , my big jacket and some food just incase. We followed the footprints upto an old building . As we walked further and further we passes many signs that said danger ahead. Aisha wasn’t bothered though.She wouldn’t leave , she is so stubborn and i couldn’t get her back .
At the start I didn’t believe Aisha but I could see the footprints pretty clearly . We stopped. There were two paths and footprints on both of them one leading to the cave and the other going going back to the sea . “ Come on lets seize the moment ,” Aisha mutters.I really dont want to do this but once again Aisha will not take no for an answer ,

The cave is dark and has spider webs everywhere.Its floors are damp and smells like rotten sardines.The torch reflects on the cave . My heart is pounding each second .Just as I am beginning to tink that this is safe and there is noting to worry about , Aisha discovers a grenade ,  an AK 47 and nukes. We stop and see an egg turns out it is the nonomanders egg!
At that moment I fell guilt in my chest. I nudge Aisha and mouth we should not be here. “Come on lets go NOW!!”

The woolymander

I’m prepared to run but the exit of the grotto is on the other side. The tiny egg glistens and I notice that it has small talons sticking out from the side. But we are trapped! At that moment, Bobby starts mumbling.”It’s ok,”I can see it in his eyes that he’s trying to hide his fear.
The woolymander stops and slowly moves its head to one side. Its bloodshot eyes lock onto us both.”We’re not going to attack you or your egg. We’ll protect you.” Bobby raises one arm to symbolise that he is no threat. They both stand and glare at each other. The woolymander almost seems to listen. It gives a soft growl; the bony spines on its back lower. I think it’s working. Bobby is talking to the woolymander!
“We’re leaving now,” says Bobby, stepping to one side and together we walk to the exit of the grotto. Its eyes stare at me and through them I see crashing waves, decaying ships and the rotten bones of sailors. It nods its head, steps back and lets us pass.
The fog has cleared. Twinkling stars shine and a bright moon slowly emerges from the darkness. We walk back towards the rocks and talk. No one must discover the grotto. No one must find the woolymanders home and his precious egg. Bobby rapidly talks about how we need to keep the woolymander anonymous. He is full of ideas – place signs up, report that there has been a rockfall and ban people from entering as it is dangerous. I listen as he speaks endlessly, his face eager and determined.
By the time we are strolling around the town, it is awakening. The sun borders the sleeping sea and casts shadows across the sand. Charlie’s Fish and Chip shop is placing a few chairs outside as it seems that it might be a lovely sunny day. He waves at us with a grin full of joy. Bailey’s Ice Cream shop is opening and he’s inside sweeping the floors. Mr James sets down his cappuccino at his Starbucks Coffee shop. He places umbrellas, sand buckets and toys outside for the children. By the time we arrive at the museum, the early morning traffic begins. Cars whizz past us on their way to the beach’s car park.
All day, Bobby has searched book after book  trying to find information. He finds ancient records and logs. In a white envelope he finds a captain’s note written in 1744. It is the story of fishermans that netted a large rock that shined with freckles of gold. They kept the precious find but later that night, the rock shattered and the captain told the story of how the ship had been visited by the devil’s dog. They had barely managed to capture it and throw it into the sea. Since then, fishermen have an unspoken bond to capture and kill any sort of mander that they find.

2 hours later, we talk. Our mission is not complete; it has only just begun.

THE LEVIAMANDER

You’ve probably been to Imaginary- on-sea. In summer, you probably rode on rollercoasters, slid down water slides and built sandcastles on the beach with your family. Its an amazing holiday destination…in the summer.
But in winter, there is dark side you do not want to go on. Its like the dark side of the moon, wind and rain dropping as fast as the flash, tornados beginning and signs flying off buildings. No tourists comes in winter. This is what the locals call dead-on-sea.

 

Chapter 1

My name is Tom Cruise but you can call me Cruise I work as a movie actor it’s fun doing tricks and fighting  but one day when i was performing i heard…

 

A SCREAM. I believe whoever said it  said ‘help’. I went to the front door and saw a boy. I let him in as he shivered saying ‘thank you’ . I tried asking him what happened but I received no response

I took him to the counter and gave him a drink to see if he would speak. 

 

The boy smashes the glass on the floor with tears dropping like the flooded frosty rain and then KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

I went to the front door and I saw a crowd of people. This is when i realized what happened. I quickly hid behind the stairs waiting for the right moment to go back to the counter.

I look back to see where he is and find a path to go through but then i remember a story i once got told about something called a leviamander.

I was told it had vicious teeth multiple arms and legs and a scar which hypnotizes people but this is only a few things about it and i fear we will find out more.I shake the story out of my head and quickly run back i peak over and see tentacles coming from the top of their heads grabbing each one until i see the last ones head which fell down and the only thing i could think of is the LEVIAMANDER.

I went to the boy and we escaped from the back door in a rapid fast car. I asked the boy what his name was and he said Tom. “No your surname” I asked.  “Tom Serto” he replied. I knew it your the scientist that was tracking the Leviamander but when winter happened a humongous tsunami came and you got washed away it was looking for him.

 

Chapter2

As we park up in dark alley i hear a scramble and then i barley see a sharp spike,black tentacles and then eyes sticking out starting to hypnotize  their was no time to waste i press down on the pedal and sped away.

30 minutes later, we are in my house, I seal the doors shut and the next thing I hear is a KNOCK its a girl saying she has news of THE LEVIAMANDER. We let her in and she becomes part of the crew, her name is Viola and she has a bit of a rich attitude this is how i knew she was from a rich family.This is good because we will have more money and that means more equipment to end the LEVIAMANDER!

At last we located a base we got in the car and zoomed off. On the way we passed many shops like the ice cream hutchins,chicken grillers,blazy wings and the pier which had rides and another ice cream shop called rad deserts

20 minutes into it,

We see the road destroyed,gigantic footprints,bent metal and rocks rolling down mountains as the waves flow with the ocean we arrived we called the base the X CAVE we walked in and found computers.radio,super fast cars and the best weapons but then the radio comes on about the pier and THE LEVIAMANDER.
We find a Mclaren P1 we zoom with a freeze gun and a poisonous gun we pull up and use are jetpacks to fly up to the rollarcoaster and took every one whilse viola and Tom distracted the Leviamander they soon got him to jump in the ocean.

Viola stays behind while me and Tom go back and upgrade the weapons. Viola saw the Leviamander going towards dead-on-sea without a moment thrusted away but this was just a trap by the Leviamander to lure her in!.

Outside, The thick deceiving clouds struck like thunder from the heavens.

At the right moment, the leviamander gets Viola and traps her in the water only for the LEVIAMANDER to go to the DECEITFUL AND TROPICAL ISLAND but Viola didnt see as it was her time.

 

Tigermander

 Three days later and we are in my house. We sit quietly, chugging hot chocolate,it is my favourite thing to drink in the winter.Outside, a strange sight has almost smothered the village.Inside, we are warm, covering our self with a blanket and duvet.Anyways,Wolfy already  has plans  “Anna you must help me”There we go again ,” I know where it lives

 It is turning out that Wolfy has spent a long time in the cold,hanging around the spy place and searching everywhere in the shore.

 

 I have not believed Wolfy but the foot marks are very noticeable. There are three separate sides of marks,one leading to the dark pit .The other set leads back to the shore and the third one leads to the park .”Come on,let’s stop the moment “ murmers Wolfy clicking on her power light bulbs .But i am still feeling that Wolfy is making me to go into trouble.

He claims to see suspicious foot marks,just like those that we found at the old park but these are by the cliff edge.

 

I close up the airport and make sure that there isn’t any place unlocked and lights turned off before we go out .This time I’m sure that we have power light bulbs and I am  in my lightning proof jacket.We follow the straight road of the bay until we reach the cliff edges. No one is allowed there anymore because it is highly dangerous for Wolfy.I know I have to say something about it.I tell her to go away from it but she is so stubborn .

 

 The cave is totally dark.it smells so bad like dirty grease slips .Stones shine bouncing off the power light bulbs.My mind shouts loud as we go,looking side to side.Just as I’m thinking that there isn’t anything to be unleashed ,Wolfy finds it.There ,in a nook,is a big nest of sea- torn sticks,old rags and fur.In the nest is a big egg,glowing a deep golden.We stop and stare in fear.the Tigermander has an egg.

At that moment,I feel a gash of guilt.We should not be here.”Let’s go fast!”I scream,tugging at Wolfy’s sleeve and turning to make my way back to safety of the shore .But our way is closed .Something or someone is moving through the darkness of the cave .It doesn’t sound pleasant.We’ve heard it before,The low murmur,the throaty growl,the steady,closed footsteps.We shine our light bulbs forward and suddenly i is the tigermander! We step back.

Chapter 3

One day later we are in my tiny room. We sit quietly, gulping hot coffee, my favourite drink. Outside, an unknown haze has almost suffocated the town. Inside, we are enjoying coffee with heaters on. Although, Advert made plans. “Daisy, seriously, you didn’t even help me.” Here we go again, I wonder. “I know where it lives.”    
It turns out that Advert has been on the beach for hours in extreme cold, curtaining around the pier and looking right and left the width of the beach. He found doubtful footprints, just like the ones we found at the old restaurant but these are by the cliffs where there are old caves.
I lock up the shop and check that all the windows are closed and lights are off before we leave. Now I confirm that we have lights and I am covered up in my comfort coat. We follow the bend of the bay until we reach the cliffs. No one is allowed to go in there, it is wild. For Advert that just looks to prompt him on. I know that I can’t leave him alone. He’s awkward, block – headed and yet I find myself retracing him.   

I hadn’t believed Advert but the footprints are so visible. There are two sets of prints,one follows across the sand and into the dim trap of a cave and the other set of prints follow into the sea. “Come on, let’s grab the moment,” whispers Advert, clicking on her light. I’m not feeling like grabbing anything but once again I feel like that Advert is going to put me into huge trouble!  
The cave is dim. Totally dim. It stinks of rotten tuna and dirty water is leaking. Boulders glow in the light. My heart started to pump faster as we head forwards, bouncing side to side. Just as I’m wondering that there is nothing and starting to feel glad, Advert finds it. There, in an alcove, is a huge nest of seagrass leaves, old wet rags and cotton. In the nest is a massive egg, shining like rose red. We stare in aww. The megamander has an egg!                       

At that moment, I feel really guilty. We should not be here. “It’s not safe here let’s go,” I whistle, holding at Advert’s arm and turning to go back where the safety is. But our way is stuck. Something is making a motion through the dark from the trap of the cave. It doesn’t sound good. We’ve listened to it before, the small whistle, the throaty purr, the ready netted footsteps. We both bright out lights forwards and it is there. The megamander! Advert steps forwards and I step backwards.
