Chapter 3 : A new friend

THUMP! Oh no! Did they find us already! Emma grabbed my wrist and she hopped to the secret cupboard under my bed. I pulled it open and crawled in, Emma came in after me. We had a mattress and snacks just in case we were here longer than we might expect.

“Ooo, those pesky girls made a secret hide-out down here boss!” He sniggered. I knew that voice , it was Jemsha. He captured me a few years back but I managed to escape! “They are not here boss!” they yelled as they turned our secret hide-out upside down. “Go! They tricked you fools again! Maybe they are outside!” I imagined BIG K (the boss) with a plump red face and bulging eyes as he said this. I tried my hardest not to let out an unladylike giggle but as soon as they left me and Emma burst out laughing! Once we got out of the cupboard we noticed a SCAR soldier who was just about to leave. He turned around and gasped at us as though he saw a ghost. I turned to Emma. She had gone pale in the face and her mouth was wide open.I grabbed a glass jar from next to me and threw it high in the air. It landed on the SCAR soldiers head and shattered. Scarlet red blood poured  from his bald head as he dropped to the ground. Pieces of broken glass stabbed his neck and Emma looked horrified. Was I a murderer all of a sudden…? “ Emma , I did it to protect you, as your big sister it is my duty…” I tried getting it out as reassuring as possible but even I didn’t believe what I said. “You cruel murderer! You’re no better than the whole SCAR army themselves!” She grabbed her bag and rushed out with tears in her eyes. I knew she hated it but if i didn’t do anything, it would cost us our lives… I ran out after her. She was stopped in her tracks. “HI! I’m Piper but you can call me Pip!” A soothing voice came from in front of Emma. She slid to the side and I saw a figure standing there. She had bright blonde hair put up in a ponytail, emerald green eyes, a beautiful silver necklace with a scarlet ruby engraved on it. She was wearing a black top with a lace at the bottom and some matching shorts. She had black and grey trainers which had been smothered with mud. “Who are you?” I said as Emma stood behind me, I knew she was scared so I tried sounding as brave as possible.

“I’m from the tribe at the end of this forest… I know your father…Sorry, I knew your father”she squeaked 

I heard Emma sigh, father had warned us before he passed that we would meet someone who would help us on this journey. Emma burst out into happy tears and grabbed me and Pip to give us an emergency cuddle. I knew she missed father lots and so did I which is exactly the reason we will not fail on this mission. Outside snow began to fall on the damp grass. Inside the fire crackled and the room lit up. “Lets go inside, you must be starving coming all this way!” and with that we all poured inside and closed the door behind us.

“WOW! You really want to trick those annoying soldiers!” She laughed as we showed her the secret den. We all planned how we would get to the village to get the secret potion.

Chapter 2: Lost/ 21.06.21

I heard a SCAR soldier celebrate his success as he thought he found us  but once he walked in he was utterly baffled. “I don’t understand where they could have gone?” He explained to his commander whose identity was yet to be discovered.

“ Find those girls! Or else I will cut your heads off!!!” He raged with burning anger. Emma giggled, the thought of our biggest enemies being defeated by a bunch of 13 year olds. Pfft. So called SCAR warriors. We’ve never been down in the secret tunnel before. Well only when me and Emma were playing first to be tagged has to forfeit their cake. Obviously I won, like Emma had no chance at all. We walked down the winding tunnel into a spacious room with a bunk bed made from bamboo sticks and bird feathers, a small table with a board game and a big cupboard full of snacks. Emma trotted to the water cooler and pressed down the dark blue flappy thing. “Go search the place you fools!” I shivered. Just yesterday we had a plan to defeat the evil, cruel SCAR team but today we were out of luck. Everyone back in the Kayi tribe is counting on us to save them. We thought we knew their biggest weakness, we thought we knew their tactics but we were so wrong you can’t even imagine. They set us up. It was all a diversion to steer us away from the truth. What would we do now? THUMP! I shot a glance at Emma… Oh no…..

Chapter one: Journey begins

Lily picked Emma up and put her on her back. They had to escape the SCARS or they would be dragon food. They dashed through the forest and turned a corner to rest in a cave. Emma shrieked as Lily placed her down on the concrete ground. “Ouch my leg!!! Careful lily!!!” She yelled, pulling her leg away and examining the cut she had on her knee. Lily rummaged through her rucksack and found some bandages that she could put on Emma’s knee. “Hold still Emma!” She would demand every time Emma flinched. Both girls gasped. They could hear the SCARS coming after them. Lily grabbed Emma and put her in an old wagon that they found in the corner of the cave. She put their bags in and pushed the wagon. Once the wagon started going she hopped in and made herself comfy. She grabbed hold of the wagon’s handle and twisted it so that the wagon changed direction and curved through the leafless trees. Emma unzipped her bag to find a billion water balloons. One by one she threw them at the SCAR soldiers. Some fell,some cursed her and some dodged them. She had got half of their team on the floor burning with pain. Even though some were on the floor injured the team did not stop. They sent twice as many soldiers on motorbikes. They did not fail to catch up to the two frightened girls who desperately tried to lose them. Every corner they turned , hoping the SCARS would stumble and fall , they only went faster. They were out of water balloons, they were out of cunning tricks and they were out of hope. Then Lily realised the only way out of this forest was their secret underground hide-out. She pulled the wagon handle with all her might and they even heard a small crack. Thank goodness the hide-out was nearby. They grabbed their rucksacks and rushed  inside the hideout. The scars would easily find them in here which is why they had a trapdoor to lead them underground. Emma limped towards the book shelf and pulled the “MAGIC SPELL” book. Suddenly the ground where Lily was standing gave away and she fell but she did not fall and die instead she slid down a massive neon blue slide. Although Emma’s leg was severely injured she was still able to hop on the slide and enjoy the ride down. Once they were down the slide Lily pressed a bright red button which caused the book to go back to its original position and the trap door slid across the floor and locked in place as if it never moved in the first place.
