The Cobramander

The Cobramander

The Cobramander is one out of many species of mander. It is closely related to the Wormamander and the Adderamander.

Cobramanders are not easily mistaken. Their skin is a gleaming red and their eyes are like emeralds. They have long fangs that are full of deadly poison. If you are bitten by one of these fangs your life is at an end in less than 1 second! Cobramanders are 80 feet long! Wierdly, they are still able to hide quietly and not be seen.

Cobramanders are carnivores. They eat big cats and humans! There is sometimes the odd one that is a herbivore but they are mostly all carnivores. They can strip a giraffe down to the bare bones in 5 seconds, so you would not want to meet one of these when it is hungry! Cobramanders can last a month without water but can only last a week without food.

They mostly live in jungles and savannahs. If a cobramander lived in a jungle, they would slither up a tree and wait for a lion or another big cat to come past. Then they would jump out the tree, onto their prey and devour it. If a cobramander lives in the desert they would bury themselves into the sand until only the eyes can be seen. Then the same thing would happen. They would wait for some creature to walk past and then would leap out the sand and eat their prey.

Cobramanders have only one threat. Humans! All the time poachers are coming to kill them for their poison to use in battles. People are concerned that the cobramanders will get angry and come and attack the villages and towns. This has not happened yet, but a majority of people are very concerned that is might happen. Some people think that the poachers should be stopped and put in prison. They have made a Cobramander Society that helps protect cobramanders.

Crocamander – Chapter 3 by Erin

Chapter 3

Two days later we are in the attic eating some lemon squares from my bosses birthday. We sit, deciding to talk about the Crocamander. I have had a lot of work to do so we have not been able to go out and look. But I don’t want to go monster hunting anyways because it is starting to get freaky. It is also because it is freezing outside but we have heating in here.

“Well while you’ve been doing work at the “toy shop” I’ve been out looking for clues, which is much more fun then what you’ve been doing.” She says with mischievous grin.

I’m nervous I wonder what she has done. I think about it I say to myself that she can’t have done much. Maybe she has asked people about it! Oh no.

“What exactly have you been doing?” I say hoping it isn’t that bad.

It turns out Michelle has spent hours outside in the foggy coldness of Unshine – on – sea asking people about the Crocamander.

“What!” I shouted. “Why would you do that, what is wrong with you?”

“Well you should be happy to know that I know where it lives.” She says with a smug face.

“What do you mean you know where it lives; I don’t believe you.” I tell her forgetting that she will show me.

“Fine I’ll show you” Michelle says.

Oh no the sentence I’ve been dreading to hear. I started to think about it. I mean it is probably just a joke anyways. We are not going to see that thing; are we.

“Ok then you can show me.”

When we get outside it is dark. I want to go back inside but Michelle won’t let me. We get to the beach and see two pairs of footsteps one leading into the sea and one leading… The6 were leading straight up to the haunted caves of terror. If yo go there you never come back. The baddest thing  was that Michelle was making her way towards them. I knew I should not follow this crazy maniac.

The cave was lit with these weird looking rocks.

“Isn’t it pretty.” Michelle says in amazement.

“Yeah.” I say as believable as I can make it.

I think about going back but I’m already here and I need to make sure that Michelle is ok. I heard a growl and laugh because I know it’s just Michelle teasing me. But then I see her running towards me. So I started running to. I don’t know where we’re going I just want to get away from that cave.

Malamander

Chapter 3

Several hours later. In a little room we sit taking a sip of a cup of tea and biscuits to go along with it. Outside, clouds smother the town. Inside, we are cozy and warm relaxing in the Grand Nautilus Hotel. But on another hand Isaac has plans. Plans about ” the Stingamander.” Isaac begged for help.( so I said ” Anvil var) ” Ok, ok” I do know a bit of information about where the Stingamander lives.” ( having no even a specific clue)

I woke up hearing a knock on the door, I opened the door and saw Isaac.” What are you doing?” ( I asked him) ” I’ve been outside” what! I exclaim my words. It turns out he had been searching on the beach looking for clues of the Stingamander. Which he had found. He came to ask if I ( Anvil var) wanted to see what he had found. Certainly agreeing, we both exited the Hotel making our way to the beach. I stared at the footprints ( once he had showed me that was it) they look like the ones we had seen at the casino. ( him pointing it out at me) Yes I am sure of that but what wondered me the most was what were they doing here. At the beach.

Late that night I lock every door in the museum, along with the windows and turn off the lights. But then Isaac recommends torches which I don’t know a clue of what we need them for. But once we venture back to the Hotel and get  the torches. I told him that what is this needed for, turning to the hotel door blocking it until he answers.” Ok, I just want to go to the beach and search that cave we found earlier. I open the door and we exit the building going to the beach. Once again. We arrived in front of the cave. I yawn and say it’s getting late we better get going. Isaac’s stubbornness gets to his head.” Come on let’s go it will only be quick.” (He says desperate) we head into the cave but then we see dozens of signs. They were worn and old, almost like they were placed there ages ago. The signs. They’re not that pleasant, I express my fear. Why what do they say, I can’t read. Danger, do not enter, creature! I stutter, I’m terrified but Isaac has not even a bit of fear. We head further in finding myself follow him. There’s goo at the side of the cave, the Stingamander must of been here I tell Isaac. But can we go up now I moan to Isaac. Ok we can. 

Once we reached the top. The night was no longer there, it was dawn. But I hadn’t believed Isaac at first but now, now I believe him. At the sand I saw another pair of footprints, I ask Isaac should we follow it, ready to get it over with. He agrees. But I get the same feeling that Isaac is leading me into trouble yet again.

We follow the sand footprints to be led into a muddy path leading into a forest. But the forest was silent, to silent. But soon enough we was at a dead end but I soon saw Isaac climbing the fallen tree that had been blocking our path. So I decided to climb it to while getting a hand up by him. But as I get up Isaac whispers “look” I look and straight away notice why had whispered. There I saw a huge egg in a huge nest. Which is naturally not an animal egg form a normal sized animal. So we slide down the log which originally we were lying down on.

Moving forward to the nest, there we hear a rustle in the trees not too far. We fell a guilt our way. There we fell a loud rattle behind us, my senses tingle just like spider man when a villain is on the move. But we, we were the villains. My eyes latch onto Isaac slowly turning around, almost like a robot loosing connection. There’s a loud screech, I turn around but there I get a gust of wind in my face, its the Stingamander! I look in front of me. The exit! It’s shut. My soul left my body. Were trapped! Isaac steps forward; I step back.

Chapter 3 by Evie

3 days later and we are Sitting in my surf den . We are talking over a cup of tea the thing we are talking about is the tortamander . Through the window we could see the fog forming above the shop.

“Can you help me,”ben blurts out “, I know where it is .

I find out that ben has been looking for evidence on the beach every night. And he want  to show me something . That something is about the tortamander.

What is it ?

Down at the beach we could faintly see enormous footprints leading down to the crab infested island . It Is low tide so we decided to walk across the beach to the island. On the way to the island we noticed few crabs which gave us the impression we were going the correct way.

We finally found sight of the island . We stepped foot on the island and saw Hordes of crabs in many colours from pink, yellow, orange , blue, green and even purple . Palm trees as tall as houses lay around the island Giving shade to all the creatures that need it or would want it.

The tide was now coming in but did not want to leave so we stayed.

We followed the footprints deeper into the forest to come across a nest !

In the nest lay 3 shiny green eggs .

 

Me and ben picked them up . And put them in my bag . 

Then suddenly footsteps where coming from behind .

” The tortamander ,”we screamed in fear,”run”.

We run straight though the low but high tide with the eggs in my bag . We run back to surfs up into my surf den away from the monster.

We were safe at last away from the evil monster.

Chapter 3 Malamander

Chapter 3

A few days later and we are in Jimmy Jims ice cream parlour. I have a chocolate ice cream and Dylan has an Eerie vanilla. But then Dylan puts it down and says. “I know where it lives.” Here we go again I think. But before I can say anything he’s off his seat and running to the beach. I sprint to catch up to him. “This is a crazy idea,” I say. “No its not,” Shouts Dylan. He then runs down the spiral staircase leading to the beach jumping the last few steps.

It’s been 10 minutes now and Dyaln finally stops at the cliffs. No one is allowed past the cliffs so I turn back. But after a while I realise he’s not following. I look back and see him climbing the rocks. I look at him amazed. “You to scared,” Shouts Dylan. I stop gazing and start to climb.

The climb is hard and tiring as the rocks are super wet which makes them slippery and seagulls keep pecking at me. But after 15 minutes we find a cave. It’s pitch black inside so we try and find a light source. I find a decent size stick and Dylan finds a flint. I then scrape the twig and the flint together and we have light. I look at my DIY torch proudly but then Dylan picks it up and enters the cave!

The torch shines all around us but then I step in… slime? Why is there slime here. I carry on as it’s probably nothing. There’s a voice in the back of my head telling me to turn back. But I’m to focused on the endless hallway infront of me to focus on that little voice. But then after a few minutes of walking we found something. A giant nest. We climb the nest and we find an egg. The Frogamander has an egg. “But frogs don’t have eggs they don’t even have nests,” I say confused. We advance towards it.

We gaze at the bright ruby red egg. Then we noitice it’s glowing. Josh picks it up. “Wow that’s heavy,” Says Dylan. He hands it to me. I almost drop it its that heavy. “Lets go,” I say. But as soon as we’re about to leave something moves behind us! 

Pandamander chapter 3

Chapter 3

Two days later we sat in silence in the attic eating slaty chips in took from downstairs. Outside a strange mist awakened Rose was flicking through the clues and gasps. Joey! I know where it lives! Can we go find it I sigh and agree.

It turns out the clues were fake and the location was written at the bottom of the box all this time. Rose pulled a compass out of her pocket and said it was 20° North we starting walking in that direction it was all fine until I spotted two trails of claw like footprints one leading into a cave were we were meant to go and the other leading into the sea.

We kept following the prints into the cave and Rose whispered there are its footprints… we walked into the cave and turned on our lanterns so we could see clearly. We turned the place inside out looking for the book Rose spotted something covered in spider webs it was the book I cleared the webs and Rose grabbed the book we started ti run out when we were stopped by something slimy it was the pandamander the cave went dark he had rolled a giant rock in front of the exit we both gasped and took a step back we heard a squeaky growl and something shon behind us. We looked over our shoulders something was emerging from the wall it was an egg I instantly knew what it was and grabbed it the pandamander growled at me and I shouted at him LET US GO OR I WILL THROW IT. The pandamander rolled the stone in scare I gently put the egg down and we pelted it out of there.

Hydramander chapter 3

[1 day later] We are in my room and we are having some snacks and watching a movie. It’s silent in here but I don’t want to break the silence. Outside its cold and raining, inside we are warm and and cozy but Holly asks me something, she asks about the strange blue egg.

She says she footprints in the sand but yesterday we went and nothing was there. She swears she’s seen them and Holly says she is going to the beach because of it. “l’m coming too” I say because she can’t go alone.

 [10 minutes later] “Wait for me” I ask Holly “Please.” I see the footprints, I understand now what she meant, 1 path of footprints is going towards a cave, the other is pointing towards the ocean near an egg nest, and her…

 I tried to get to her but then mist swirled and all I could see was myself and the sand I tried to run, but it was too late, I was cornered. I could barely make out, a person with scaly skin, a tail and 3 heads.

 I wake up questioning what just happened “I, I saw it, the Hydramander, in my dream, I don’t know what just happened. Lets just not go to the beach Holly.”

She doesn’t listen, so I come with her. We arrive but this time we go to the cave and find the blue egg again but this time it seems fragile just like it’s mentioned on the myths but the Hydramander isn’t here. I look around to check it isn’t a trap or a fake egg but you can’t see anything that could be a trap, except a welcome rug on the entrance, it seems as you can fall through it so we take the egg. CRASH! I mutter a bad word under my breath, “Why is that so heavy? It’s says it lightweight in the myths,” I say confused. Then Holly tries to pick it up but she says it light but then we hear something, like footsteps, then a roar like a dragon’s, I ask Holly, “Is that the, the, the,”

Without letting me finish the sentence she replies”I think so,”. The sound is coming closer, and closer until we can see it right in-front of us. I try get Holly to bring the egg and come, she can’t lift it. We run…

Merbug chapter 3

Chapter 3

Two days later me and Dexter returned to the shop. As we go in mr Ha ha says I fixed the window I quickly put up the new news. I think in my head why he did not ask how I broke it and where I had been, but mr Ha ha is a nice man so I thought of nothing. We go outside to investigate where the Merbug went we looked down and I saw little pieces of ash on the ground. 

It led to a abandoned house we go in but something was moving upstairs we go up and see a egg. I garb it and we run we get back to the shop Mr ha ha is sleeping we go into my room I tell Dexter that I need to put up the closed sign up I put it up I realised that mr ha ha went home. That means he is ill. I run down tell Dexter to help me bord up the door and the windows, so the Merbug can’t come in. We start to look at it it looks like two baskets on top of each other I’ve read about this I say a baby Merbug comes out and finds things that it likes ad if it gets five it will grant you 2 wishes.
