Chloe's World

I charged through the clouds, waiting for my family to greet me. But none came! “Perhaps they were eating,” I thought so I rushed to the Palace. But still none! I heaved a great sigh and flew to my Grandma who was making biscuits, while no one noticed that the hunters had dodged around. 

“Where’s Lu?” I searched for my sister. “Hunting,” Grandma replied.  However, when Lu returned, her horns were gone. She died in the night! 

We realised we were being hunted! We tried everything to keep the humans away. Otherwise we would all die. I couldn’t bear it so had to do something. I ran away and asked the Jade tree for advice. Without fail, it replied, “ Take rods, a shell, a feather, a star, and one of my leaves for strength. Then go east. If you can earn the three mysterious jewels, you must then swap for the Dragon Pearl.”

The next day, I took those things and flew east. When I reached sky barrier, I threw my star towards the gate, and the star cracked with a key. I took it out and slid it into the gate. The gate opened! A gargantuan waterfall showed. While hovering over the waterfall, I tied the rods, shell and stone to create stairs, which led to the Night Beach. I took out the Jade tree’s leaf of strength and flew to the edge effortlessly. A glittering chest popped out from the navy sands! On the chest was inscribed, 

“A MESSENGER ANIMAL 

WHICH FLIES AT NIGHT 

WILL GIVE YOU 

MY KEY.”  

I pulled out the feather and gasped. The feather turned into a luminous pearl, glowing beautifully in the dark night. I hurled the stone into the sky and watched as it melted into the moon. Suddenly, a ghostly bird appeared and pecked the chest open. Inside were JUST three black coals! “No jewels at all,” I moaned in despair. Suddenly, one coal glistened and burst into flames. It turned into a ruby! Just then, a monster appeared, slashing at the chest. I roared, leapt over the monster and killed him in seconds. His blood dropped at the second coal, which started to grow into a sapphire! I stared at the third coal. So quiet, nothing happened yet. I would have to force it. Tremblingly, I sliced my horns and sprinkled the powder over the last coal. Smoothly and suddenly, it turned into an opal. In the meanwhile my horns grew back covered in gold. My scales turned into jade, my claws into peal and my eyes into emerald. The weak fire I used to breathe was now as alive as a magical monster. However, those three jewels had disappeared. I understood though: They had been swapped for the Dragon Pearl, ME!

I flew home and fought against the hunters. They never came back beyond the dragon border, which was named as The Great Line of Dragon Pearl.  

DAY 1

I’m going to tell you about the flight first. I vomited four times on the plane, so it was quite uncomfortable. Next, going to meet my ‘friends’. I wrote friends like that because when we last met we were one. We arrived at 5:00 to 6:00 PM. When we arrived, we left soon after to eat.We went to bed after.

On the next day, we went to the water park.The day after that, we went shopping. My mum arranged for us to meet one of my friends.

DAY 5

Today I went to the aquarium, it had a cool place where you can touch star fish. It actually felt like a rock!!!!!!!!!

DAY 6

Today my friend and I had an early Halloween party, since I was leaving tomorrow.

DAY 7

Today I had to leave, so we spent the day shopping.

I really enjoyed the time at Singapore, and I hope I go again (provided I don’t vomit).

This is an interesting book about bravery and promise. It was hard to tell who the main character was, but it was really exciting. It tells you old isn’t wrinkles. At the start , there was lots of mystery. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes action.

Gone

Once in a deep, dark forest, lived an orphan. Her name was Maria and she had dark brown eyes with fire and flame in them. Her hair was glossy black and tangled with leaves. In her tree house was a pile of moss and soft leaves. A beautiful woodpecker was pecking at the pine trees. She raised her spear and threw it. It landed with a splash in the rive. She went to retrieve it. When she picked it up, she noticed a fat salmon on then end. ‘Lunch!’she cried.

Back in the tree house, with her white breasted friend, Mary the humming bird, caught food supplies for winter. After some herbs for dinner, she crawled into the pile of moss as Mary disappeared to her nest in the darkening night. Owls hooted in the shadow of the tallest trees. Then, suddenly, the room was bright with sunlight. She wriggled in the pile of moss then realised she wasn’t in her moss anymore. Mary was standing on a table, hooting dolefully. As Maria looked around herself, she realised she was in an orphanage she’d heard about before. She scrambled out of bed and slipped down the window sill. The streets were busy and teeming with markets. Down the great building unnoticed, she made herself at home in a strange hollow tree. Blackbirds chirruped around the tree. She lifted up her knees to her head and began to cry.

A week later, having found some money on the streets, she bought some food and water, But, before she know it, a girl with blue eyes snapped, “What are you doing here and where are your parents?”. “My name is Maria and I’m lost!”. The girl who had blue eyes said, “My name is Caroline.” Just then, Mary poked her head around her neck, where she’d been staying since she left the orphanage. “Who’s this?” asked Caroline. “Oh, that’s Mary, my hummingbird.” “Will you help me get home?” Maria asked. “Of course I will.” said Caroline.

Back in the hollow tree trunk, Caroline finished “… we must board a train to Windsor Castle.” So that it was on a particular Tuesday night they found a train leaving soon to Windsor Castle. They jumped with a loud clang onto the train roof. Suddenly, the train jolted into motion. Sending them flying to the back of the train. “That was close!” Gasped Caroline. Then out of the darkness, police cars came. “Jump now, or they’ll catch up!” shrieked Maria. BOOM, we jumped!

There was a strong wind, which pushed them on. But the police cars were gaining speed. In the early morning dawn, the shadow of Windsor Castle loomed over them. “Run for it!” Maria yelled. The grandness of Windsor Castle froze us, then we were dragged into the castle dungeons.

“I think I have a hairpin.” Mumbled Caroline. As they live in the dungeons, life was busy in London. Posters of missing orphan! Daughter of high priest gone! appeared all across the city. Now Caroline and Maria, with Mary, are working out a plan of escape.

Tinkle, tinkle, the keys of the dungeon rusted as Mary held them in her teeth. They slipped out the unlocked window and locked it again. But where Maria’s tree house had been, was a shopping mall. So through the dense forest, in a tall tree, they built another tree house with beds for everyone.

Caroline, as she was very important, she stood up to the police and cleared the name Maria.
