End of chapter 1…
“What’s happened? Why do you need to hide?” I asked her.
“I’ve seen the monster!” she replied, clinging onto the legs on my bedside table.
Chapter 2
We stare at each other for a few minutes. I gulp and then ask, “What monster did you see? Was it the squirrel mander?” While the girl was thinking about her answer I could hear the rain hammering against the windows, outside. Inside, I could hear the clock as the seconds whizzed by. “It was, wasn’t it?” I said after a pause. She nodded.
Half an hour later, the girl said something to me after a long time. “My name is Mira.” I nodded. I said it was a nice name. After an hour, we checked every street Mira was on and there was no sign of a monster anywhere! I would have much rather have stayed in my room, curled up in the duvets. The weather was beginning to get worse by the minute. The wind started to howl and clouds swarmed above our heads.
All the shops we pass are closed, including: the fish and chip shop that closes at midnight. I think it was because of this bad weather, that nobody feels like going out of their house.
Mira grabs my nightgown and I shout, “What are you doing Mi-” she tells me to be quiet and points round the corner of the wall. Grunts and yells is all I can hear. I was beginning to get really fed up with her, but then I saw it. The squirrel mander. Eyes as blue as the sea, a tummy as soft as a pillow case and worst of all he was as big as Big Ben.
I scream, but Mira covers my mouth with her hand. She pulls me into a telephone box, daring not to make a sound, we crouch down and huddle into a ball. After we were huddled together, the phone began to ring. I reached for it and it was Mira’s mum. Immediately, I hung up, at that precise moment, the squirrel mander charged towards us.
Outside, the rain continued to hammer against the windows and inside me and Mira were wailing and crying, silently. The squirrel mander stares at us and then hops in the opposite direction. We let out a huge gasp.
