 * THE VERY FIRST ACTIVITY.

It was a quiet autumn morning and the sun was filtering through the window. The house was deserted, they were all out doing things, I was alone. With my heart in my mouth I crept up the attic stairs looking to continue the exploration that had been interrupted so suddenly yesterday. Gently opening the door I peered in, everything was still the same, no-one had been up. I breathed a sigh of relief and moved over to the rickety shelves in the corner. A beam of sunlight clawed its way through the high window and shone on the pile of old newspapers I had stacked up by the bottom shelves in an attempt to reach the thing on the top shelf. Some were scattered on the floor where they had skidded when I jumped and ran yesterday. I still didn't know what had made the noise! Gathering the newspapers and courage I gingerly climbed on to the stack - it shook more than a bit. Using the shelves like rungs I was just able to reach the object I had seen. Panic and exertion made my fingers tremble as they hooked at the hard dry surface. Pulling it off the shelf I skied down the newspaper stack and landed in a heap on the floor.The object landed solidly beside me.Looking down I saw it was a very old book with a crinkled and cracked cover. I picked it up and gingerly opened it to the first page. It was covered with dust. I blew gently and these words leapt off the page.

AND THIS IS WHAT I READ....￼

A man named Ben walked down a road looking for a place to stay while it was raining, he came to a stop at an old deserted house. He went inside slowly but eager to get out of the rain, he walked inside the old house where he stood in an old room. Suddenly! the door slammed behind him he quickly turn to open the door but it wouldn’t open again. The man decided to go and find another way out. He was breathing hard as he walked carefully up the stairs, he was beginning to panic, they creaked as he walked. He had goose bumps all over him. He heard a sudden weeping coming from in a upstairs bedroom he spun around and walked scared into the deserted room. In the room there was only a bed and a wardrobe, the bed had dirty old sheets and mould growing on them. He walked over to the wardrobe and flung the door open. He was shocked to find a young lady in an old dirty rag doll dress, her hands where bound together with stripes of her long brunette hair. Her face was scared from a whip that bound her feet. She had the bluest of eyes brighter than the sun, but her face was sour as if there was a lemon in her mouth. She tried to scream but her mouth wouldn’t let her. The man looked at her then pulled out a pocket knife and cut the leather whip from her feet and the hair from her hands, then put the knife away and reassured her that she was going to be okay.

He sat down and told her his name was Ben ,and he was trapped in this house. She said her name was lily ,she also told him that an old man had left her here to die after she had reported him for stalking her on her way back from a friends house two weeks earlier. THEN suddenly they heard a creak coming from the bottom of the stairs, a sudden wave of fear ran down there spines. Ben jumped up and said quick run with me, she shook her head and said “I can’t walk I’m paralysed’’. He picked her up and hid her behind the bed, then hid in the wardrobe himself. The old man walked in the room with a plate of green mashed slop, he turned towards the wardrobe and then opened it, to find not the young lady but a man with a knife. Ben stabbed then old man in the gut, he fell to the ground, Ben ran and grabbed lily from behind the bed and ran down the stairs to the front door it was closed but easy to open. They ran outside and onto the footpath where Ben laid Lily on the ground and called the police. When they arrived they where shocked to find no one in the house but an old black cat.

Two months later. Lily and Ben where living in a small house in the middle of a quite street.

When that night when everyone was asleep an old man walked aimlessly down the street. He crept up the path to a small house with his black cat trailing behind. He paused then crossed the lawn and ran down the side of the house. He opened a window. He found himself in a small room not much bigger than his own, he removed his shoes then got to work. His black cat sat and watched from a nearby window ledge.

In the morning Ben awoke to fine a bare bed where Lily used to lay. He ran to the phone and rang the police. They arrived and began to search. They took fingerprints and dusted all the ledges, including the one the cat sat on the past night. They found fingerprints that where not Ben’s but someone else’s, they took the fingerprints away.......

They never found Lily but an old myth says if you look in the eye of a full moon you will see the body of a young girl looking for a boy.

THE MAGIC WATER

Once upon a time there lived a lovely bird and his pet spoon, spoonly spoon. They lived in a place where all magical things lived, like the worlds smallest giants and the worlds tallest midgets. ￼ They enjoyed many things such as swimming in the invisible lake of drink bottle or climbing trees such as the fishing trees where all the fish and unicorns are from. They also liked to chase the Unicorns into the volcano of cold water, where they would drawn because they cant swim. ￼ But one stormy night in a small house Harry cat potter was fast asleep with his turtle teddy he was awoken by a squawk of the tuna fish swimming on the footpath road. He ignored the silly fish and went back to sleep. In the morning he meet up in his new blueth yellowth car, bird and his spoonly spoon. They went down a long lane skipping as they went. ￼ WHEN SUDDENLY a toadstool fell from the sky and onto spoonly spoons nose, so he ate it. YUMMY YUMMY said his tummy but then threw up because it was yuck.

￼

They walked some more then came to a stop at a lake this was strange because most lakes in their land were invisible.

They walked around, talking as they went. Spoonly spoon then came to say that he was thirsty and needed a drink, so he bent down and drunk some strange water from the lake when all of a sudden he turned into a handsome prince. bird was amazed so he drunk some water as well but didn’t turn into a prince but a ugly half fish half person. Harry cat potter started to laugh and laugh, bird who was not very happy about this started to get mad so he pushed Harry cat potter in the water. He splattered then stood up because it was only up to his knees, He came to realise that he was a girl not a boy cat but an ugly girl, with no fingers or hair. He began to cry and didn’t stop. He didn’t stop for days, finally he did because a wonderful fish burger called Yemen said he was beautiful. He replied in a faint voice “I like cheese''. He then ran away and was never to be seen again.
