Underground 3

Undergound 

Part 3


Joel and Izzy both looked at me with fear in their eyes, what they saw was unexplainable. “It… it grabbed me and t-t-t-took me. “ Joel stuttered. He wasn’t able to speak. “Izzy s-s-saw it too” but Izzy wouldn’t talk. She grabbed a stick and began scraping the dirt. Her picture was of a huge angry demon with dark hateful eyes, we were not alone. His name was Maer ceci (May-er-sick-eye) he was the demon that lurked in the shadow of the gold mines, Grand dad has told me a lot about these. “ We shouldn’t be here guys, i’ve heard stories about this thing. He’s been hunting lost miners since the old days and now, he wants us. “ Michael gave us his serious look that he only gave us in very VERY serious times. “ Grooooooowl !!! “ We flicked our heads into different directions, scared and shaking. Everyone stood and followed in a line behind me. “ We’re lost! “ I screamed in my mind. A panic expression on my face. Big footprints came stomping towards us and we didn’t know what to do! I went off on my own hoping to find an exit but I couldn’t. The long passageways seemed to go on forever. The stomping got louder. And louder. And louder. Then they were right behind me. I turned around in fear, about to come face to face with a dark, huge and evil demon. I turned around and there stood… My brother. “ Tommy what the heck was that for! “ I was furious, all that fear gathered up in me and it was all for nothing. Tommy is my older brother, I think he heard about our plan and wanted to scare us. “Chill Billy I just wanted to have some fun with you and your little friends that’s all “ He gave a smirk and an evil laugh.

Underground part 2

Underground

Part 2

As mums voice disappeared thoughts of what we could find in the gold mines filled my head. I met with Michael, Joel and Derek, all 3 of us then sped off to Izzy’s treehouse. We met Izzy inside and started taking action, grabbing all our bikes and setting off for the goldmines. When we reached our destination I made us stop by a creek near the opening. “ We just have to crawl through the creek and the openings right there. “ I assured the group. One by one we piled into the goldmine with our torches shining bright like stars from a distance. “ We need to split up and cover more ground, blow the whistles if you found something. “ I said in a serious voice. There were four passageways. Izzy and Joel paired up and walked away quickly into the pitch dark. So did Derick and Michael, leaving me to wonder around, alone. Passage one on the far left had a lot of curves into it. I didn't find much but a small gathering of rocks with white stripes on them that had been strangely placed in order. I didn’t take them into consideration until I heard a whistle blow. I ran to the sound, it was Joel. He sat there in shock with Izzy just standing frozen. “Are you okay? “ I questioned. Derick and Michael had both run into the passageway as well. I could tell that we were all thinking the same thing... “ What could it be that made them so scared? “

Another blog writing for this week, I'm doing a series on one story called Underground. So hopefully you stay tuned for the upcoming parts. 

Underground

 Part 1

“Billy, Billy you get back here now! “ I heard mums demand become more distant as I rode off on my bike. I have a reputation of being the daredevil or adventure seeker in my family, but what I discovered next was nothing like i’ve ever seen before. The previous day me and a group of my friends: Michael, He’s the smarts in our group, Izzy, She’s the muscles, Derek, The idiot, Joel, Just Joel and Me, Billy, The leader of this whole group and operation. We all heard rumours about a new opening being found in the gold mines. Since we were toddlers we’ve heard stories around town about how a whole city of gold was in those mines but it was too deep in the ground to ever be discovered. As we sat on the cafeteria tables Joel said “I’ve heard that crazy man Robert Greene once went deep enough and actually found it and made friends with all the people who lived in the city. “ Making all of us sit there and wonder what happened next. But then he told me that he ate cheese off of the moon so I don’t really believe him. “ Our hopes were gone. “ We should just go anyways, I want another adventure “ said Derek. After school we all had our daily meeting in Izzys treehouse. Michael pinned the map of our town on the treehouse walls, we then began discussing what time to leave and where to meet. “ 9pm sharp at the treehouse. It was 8:55 pm and I was going to be late, the punishment was a worm for each minute you were late. I sped off as quick as I could on my bike. That’s when I hear mum from the door, yelling at me as I sped away off into the night.

The storm

My 20 minute blog writing was a quick and short narrative about a young girl and her nightmare. Enjoy my quick little story :) 

The storm 

As the heavy storm got worse the quivering girl curled up tighter in her bed. The lightning and thunder were all banging and rolling constantly filling her ears with loud clashes and bangs like an unpleasant marching band. The old oak tree hung low over her window giving away a silhouette of what seemed to be… a monster! It was knocking loudly on the window. She shivered in fear, being only 7 years old and terrified of a storm seemed silly but to her it was a living nightmare. Then the monster growled and slowly snuck into her room. The young girl had her eyes closed shut and held her blankets very firm in her hands and over her face. The growl grew closer and closer. She waited for the monster to grab her but when she pulled the blanket down to reveal the monster it was her imagination. Trying to take advantage of her dreams. As her eyes opened the day was new and the horrible storm was only a dream. The birds chirped and flew happily in the crisp morning air. She awoke with a smile. “Uhh it was only a dream”

Room 5 & 6 Assembly

Since its been Halloween and our classes were on assembly we decided to have a Halloween themed one. I personally wasn't that thrilled and interested in the assembly but others enjoyed it. We performed a dance called  Un poco loco from one of my favourite movies, Coco. Another dance called rave in the grave, presented our te reo selfie videos and a song. Here is a photo of our classes after the assembly.
