Midnight Gazer
Suddenly, there was a bang, as the ground got closer and closer. We were heading towards a line of mountains! Captain Marsh wrestled with the wheel, Zephyr looked over the side to find we were going down! In the distance, Captain Marsh spotted an ancient looking dock and steered the Midnight Gazer towards it. There was a sickening bang and the crew all went silent.
Sam came running out from under the deck shouting, ” What’s going on?!” No one noticed as they watched Zephyr fend off a bird like creature that was nibbling on the balloon. She grabbed and stick, jumped on the deck and waved her weapon around. But it was too late, there was no air left in the balloon.
Zephyr looked around to see a line of mossy old boats, a statue of an elder from long ago and a huge mossy rotting building. The mountains surrounded us.
The wind blew and the thunder roared as the children found them selves alone, sitting on the deck, waiting and waiting. The children were not aloud to leave the deck. But not all children follow the rules!
There was a noise and a shuffle.
“What was that?!” exclaimed Zephyr,
“I say we follow it!” said another girl.
