                  Wolfs Of The Beyond

              Lone Wolf

So far my book is about a female wolf giving birth to 3 whelps. She suffers while finding a birthing den for her kids. She finally gives birth and finds out that a child of hers has a problem. She realises she can’t go back to her clan with a weak pup. If she returns her and her mate will be deemed to find new clans also as new blood-lines.

In my opinion this book so far is really interesting.

My Balloon Adventure

Up,Up and away I went, soaring high in the beautiful blue skies. I felt like I was undefeatable. Dancing like I was in a circus. A dozen balloons were carrying me. Everything went smaller and smaller while I was going higher in the air.

It soon became noon and I started flying far far away from my street, I was lost. Hopefully I could be traveling to America.Why? Because I’ve only lived in America for a short life and I think it would be AWESOME if I could experience it more. Also because I could visit more of my family. I would visit many things my parent told me about like Taco bell,Dollar tree and Walmart. They sounded like great shops.

The unicorn - Mythical Narrative

There once lived a unicorn who didn’t have any wings or any friends. She would usually  go lurking in the magical forest of  Never Land. Then one night while the unicorn was walking through the forests she saw an old lady in black clothing.

The old lady approached the unicorn with care.The unicorn stopped to examine her and she could feel her hand tingle and turn clammy. The lady in black told the unicorn that she could give her thousands of friends and special wings if she could have the unicorn’s horn. The unicorn was delighted with her offer and immediately said, “ Yes!”  

The old lady took out a sharp pocket knife, and cut off the unicorn’s horn. The unicorn then reminded the lady of the bargain and expected to get what was promised but the old lady turned young and laughed.

“ You stupid horse, you’ve fallen for my trick.”

Next  she disappeared in a flash. The unicorn felt betrayed and she cried for days. Her tears formed a river in which she swam to drown her sorrows. She would lay in her bed hoping that one day she would gain confidence to go searching for friends.

“Knock knock”

The unicorn crept to the door and peeked through the tiny hole.  She slowly opened the door.

“Hello, My name is Amelia I’m new here*Shakes hand*Nice to meet you,”Amelia said politely.

They have a short conversation about being friends and why Amelia came to the village.

The unicorn never thought this day would come, she pinched herself to make sure she wasn’t sleeping. From that day on the two became great friends.

Narrative - Piha Beach

“Man! doesn’t Piha Beach just feel soo relaxing,” Roni gasps.

A couple of friends and I have just arrived at Piha Beach after walking for an hour. Ivy thinks that since Piha Beach is so famous that we will get famous being here too, so she dragged Roni and me along with her. Ivy went searching for video cameras while Roni and I had a little tan.

“HELP! HELP”

“Did you hear that sound? It’s like….Ivy,” Roni says in a worried voice.

“No, what? I don’t hear Ivy,” I say confused.

“HELP! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME”

“Wait…..wait a second I hear it...yeah that does actually sound like Ivy,”

Roni quickly gets up, turns around and wipes  the sunscreen off her nose.

“Look! It’s Ivy, it looks like she’s drowning in those  giant waves,” Roni shouts.

I get up and run to the nearest lifesaver.

“Sir, excuse me?” I ask politely.

“Yes, what is the problem?”

“My friend down there *points to Ivy* is drowning. Could you please help her.”

“Of course it’s my job.”

The lifesaver runs to Ivy and blows his whistle to get her attention. He then throws a seabiscuit at Ivy.

“Grab hold!” he shouts.

Ivy wipes away her tears.

When Ivy gets out,not to our surprise, her hands are trembling and she looks embarrassed.She runs to give the lifesaver a big hug.

“Thank you so much you’ve saved my life,” she says with joy.

“So… um how did you get in there?” I giggle.

“Well… long story,”

“I think we should be careful around these places and get some surfing lessons,”Roni suggests

“Great idea,” Ivy says.

We all giggle and head home.
