Fantasy Novel

Last term we had to come up with our own fantasy novel. It could be about anything we wanted, we were the authors. Here is my story ...

Introduction
Chelskaville was an island. An island that was in terrible danger of serving an evil beast. Who was this evil monster? It was ‘Tasman’ in other words, he was called ‘The Tasmanian Devil.’ There once lived a girl who only dressed in the colour green. She wasn't an ordinary girl, this one was a kung fu master. Her name was Buttercups, yes yes she sounds so sweet but really... shes a nasty piece of work.


Chapter 1
She travelled from suburb to suburb, and on her journey, she came across many complications. Her first objective was to get through the jungle off ruthless animals where lions, snakes, spiders, and eagles lived. SLICE! CRACK! BOOM! POW! the jungle felt like a hippity hoppity kangaroo pouncing away from its predators. Looking into the animals eyes, she whispered “I shall not be defeated” she ran showing her kung fu skills ending this battle with a kick in the mouth.  She was extremely puffed, but knew, she had to save her island.


“Hello” Buttercups heard a voice behind her. Slowly moving her head she looked for the mysterious voice. “Excuse me” there it was again, she looked suspiciously. It was a pig that stood at 1.5 feet tall. He had nostrils that were size of two clocks and his face looked as if he had been ran over. Buttercups looked at him like he was wasting her time, he looked so pathetic standing there. She was just starting to walk away when he told her he wanted to join her on her quest and had a secret weapon. “Hmm, what is this weapon you are talking about?” Buttercups said as she rubbed her chin. “Its my tail, it has the power to shoot, bounce, strangle, basically to do anything” Buttercups eyes opened wide and proudly said, “Really? Wow, yes come along then”


Chapter 2
The sound of a great big beast had Buttercups ears plunged towards the castle of doom, where a troll named ‘Hellgar’ was guarding the bottom room. Buttercups and pig crept carefully, making sure no sound was heard. They tip toed and searched for the troll. “Where is he?” Buttercups was curious. BANG! his mud munching feet felt as if it created an earthquake. All the trees had fallen to the ground, making it harder than ever to kill this ferocious monster. The young kung fu fighter Buttercups, kicked, slapped and even pulled his mangy hair. It was no use, this troll is undefeatable. “Or it is?” pig said as one eyebrow lifted and his tail shook like a fluffy dog eager to get its food.


Buttercups had super stealth, she hastily ran around pig winding his tail. “Here it goes!” pig shouted. His tail sprung into Hellgars face, giving him a frightful fall. “Ahhhhhhhhhhr!” Hellgar felt terrible pain, and his eyes watered so hard that pigs stomach became the umbrella. Don’t worry, Buttercups is filled with surprises, she only lifted a 107 kg animal. It took 17 seconds for the troll to stop. It turns out that Hellgar the defeated troll was finally history. Both hero’s proudly walked away heading towards their next objective, the maze. (dun dun dun)


Chapter 3
They hadn't even said one word and already they were lost. They had no idea where they were nor how to get out. Could this be the end? They were seeing the same thing over and over again, branches and bushes. “We should split up, it will make it easier to track down where the exit is” pig suggested. “No we can not leave each others sight. If we split up, one of us may get lost while the other is searching” Buttercups replied. Two hours past, still no clue how they were going to escape from this horrendous maze. “THINK!” pig said to his self. Ding, a flash of light sparkled in his eye as he said “My tail.”


Buttercups eyes opened wider than ever. With a big smile on her face she took hold of pigs tail and stretched it. “Ready?” Buttercups exclaimed. Pigs spidery finger went up and off bouncing he went, leading both heroes out. They were relieved that they had found the way out. More or less, they started to feel like they were hallucinating. This wasn't the end though, Buttercups still had to defeat the great and powerful Tasmanian devil. Light awaited to be seen by Buttercups and pig. Yet, they still couldn't believe the quality of time they spent trapped, nothing to be seen, nothing to do except search. They marched out of the maze heading to the last challenge, Tasman.


Chapter 4
There he was, standing in front of them looking like a piece of bread that had gone off. His eyes were green, his fur was starting to moult and drips of dribble were hanging from his mouth. Out of nowhere, he charged at pig with kick, making sure that he hadn't been in the way of defeating Buttercups. SPLASH! pig had fallen into a deep hole. “Pig, noooooo!” Buttercups was furious. She rapidly grabbed anything she could find and threw it at Tasman. It didn't even put a dent nor a scratch on him. After a while, she felt genuinely fatigued and couldn't even move one foot ahead of the other.


CRASH! Buttercups fell to the ground with her eyes on Tasman. She thought of her island, and what Tasman would do to them, making her even more keen to destroy this non hearted monster. “I won’t let you do this, I won’t let you take the lives of the people on Chelskaville” Buttercups uttered in pain. “Hahaha if you think you can defeat me, then think again. I know that I will rule the whole of Chelskaville and no one, absolutely NO ONE is going to stop me, not even you” Tasman confidently said confidently. Buttercups got up standing 5 feet away from him and had her legs ready to run at him. SMACK! Tasman tragically dropped to the ground, laying there for a long time.


Conclusion
Buttercups ran to pig making sure he was conscious. Pig looked up and proudly said, “Well done Buttercups, you sure are the hero of our island” They travelled back to Chelskaville feeling happy that their lives and the citizens of their island could finally live like normal people. Not having anyone to rule them and tell the what to do. Buttercups and pig led everyone to a small part of Chelskaville called Ch, and from that day on, Buttercups told her children, and her children told their children NEVER TO ACT LIKE YOU KNOW EVERYTHING, because if you do, you could end up like the Tasmanian devil.

Halloween :D


Halloween was two days ago and already, all the lollies I collected were confiscated by my parents. Halloween was the night, the night that children from all over the world got to go trick or treating. This was also the day where I had turned 14 years of age. My cousins and I went house by house, obtaining different kinds of treats such as, lollies, lollie pops, chocolates and fruits. We had left the house around 6:30, decorating the pram with spider webs and creepy spiders too.

We were eager to collect as many treats as possible. We started off wondering around the spider-man park. Other children were walking past us, trying their very best to give us a fright. It didn't work. However, as it was getting darker, we found a little 3 year old child on the road, lost, lonely and crying. "Where's your mummy and daddy? Are you alright?" I exclaimed. We went to one house, carrying this child and asked if they knew her. 

They pointed in the direction where this kid had lived. I ran towards the door, told them what was going on and then continued on. It was 9 pm, everyone was sleeping. My cousins and I took our time as we walked home. The first step I took inside of my house, I smelt a rather delicious smell. "Cake, pizza, curry and sausages, mmmmmmm!" I examined. This couldn't get any better.

Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. My family, friends and even the people I didn't know on Facebook. You guys rock my world!

New school, New Friends, New Teachers!

Waking up excited to start my new school, Tamaki College. I couldn't believe this was the year, the year I was going to start this college. The butterflies fluttered in my stomach as I nervously stepped into my class. 9PFn is the name, also known as extension one. I knew some of the students already from primary and intermediate.

Period three goes past, everyone was asking me which school I had come from. I then proudly replied "I came from Point England!" The shyness slowly faded away throughout the entire day.  I met a lot of new friends and teachers too. I felt like this was the beginning of my journey and that I needed to try my hardest.

So far this year, I have done extremely well. I wouldn't have had the skills I have now if it wasn't for my teachers at Point England School. Miss King, Mr Barks, Miss Lagitupu and Mr and Mrs Burt. Thank you for helping me strive to succeed.
