BEGIN WRITING HERE:

Once upon a time there lived a lovely, beautiful girl named Olivia.  She had wavy black hair and light blue eyes.  Olivia lived near a forest.  No one goes in the forest, but not until now.  Olivia was told not to go in the forest.  Olivia was very curious about what lives beyond those trees.

The next day, Olivia told her parents that she was going out with some friends,  Lousie and Bob said no.  They had to go to a family reunion.  That happens once a month.

“Really Mum, I can’t go out with my friends?”

“I’m sorry darling, our family reunion is very important, we must attend each one”

“You can go with your friends tomorrow”

“Thanks Dad, I mean, there is free food right?”

“Haha, yes there is” Said Mum

 That night, Olivia texted Stacy and Mya to come over tomorrow for an “Adventure”.  Stacy and Mya are Olivia’s Best Friends.  Olivia is the oldest of the group, and Mya is the youngest.  Stacey has short brown hair, with green eyes, and Mya has long black hair, with light brown eyes.

The next morning, Mya and Stacy came over to Olivia’s house.  Olivia had big backpack. Olivia had packed a lot of food and water.  Since they were gonna be out for the day, they needed to be prepared for their adventure!.

“Where are we going?” Mya said

“We’re just going to the forest”

Stacey screamed,  “What do you mean the forest! That’s the forbidden forest!!”

“It’s ok. We’ll be fine.”

A few minutes later, the three girls have finally made it to their destination.  Olivia was the first to go in.  Stacey followed Mya.

“This is so beautiful I don’t know why we’re not allowed in here.”

“I think i'm gonna go”.  Stacey ran out of the forest.

“Why did she leave?” asked Mya.

Olivia yelled, “Stacey where are you going! We just got here”.

No reply.

“Come on Mya We’ll be fine”.

“Stacey is such a scaredy cat, she doesn't usually act  like this.  I thought she was the “fearless” one in the group”.

“You gotta go easy on her Olivia, maybe she’s not that interested.”

“Your righ……….”

Something interrupted Olivia.  It sounded like a small, high pitched voice.

“Mya did you hear that?”

“Yea…..”

“Let’s turn back…..”

ROARRR!  Stacey came running out of the bush!.

“You scared the crap out of me! I thought you went back home!”

“Olivia, you really think I was that scared of the forest? Hahaha”

“I'm getting tired, should we head back it’s getting dark…..”

“Yea we should”.

“What do you mean getting dark? It’s just 12:00 AM?  Mya, Olivia, do you really want to head back home?”. 

“Not really? Mya? How about you?”

“Let’s just stay for a while.”

The longer the girls went, the deeper they got in the forest.  *Crunch*.  

Olivia was shocked “What the heck is that?!”

“Eww yuck!”

“Stacey do something”

“Me? What do you want me to do?!”

“Grab a tissue from out of my bag!!”

Stacey takes the tissues and gives it to Olivia.

“What is that? It looks like slimey poop”

“Stacey do you think your father can take samples of this weird thing?”

“Sure, I’ll give it to him, give me the tissue I’ll put it into this tiny container.”

“I wonder what kind of creature lives in these forest”

“Hmmm Let’s find out!”

Narrative: Young Detective

The Young Detective

pobble365

It had been three days since it had gone missing. One minute he had held it in his hand, the next it had vanished. How could it just have disappeared? It had been right in front of his eyes!
He had been warned about what would happen if he lost it. His mission had been to guard the key with his life, ever since they visited him last summer.
Adam had always had a detective’s instinct. They had told him as much. He had been chosen because he had certain skills, and he would need them more than ever now.
Only one clue had seemingly been left, which was sat on the living room table.
Holding the magnifying glass up to his eye, Adam began to investigate…


Adam was full of fear.  He didn’t know what would happen to him if he didn’t find the key sooner.  He started to look in the lounge.  He looked under the sofa, under the coffee table, and  inside the chimney.  Wait, why would it be inside a chimney?.
He gave up.  Adam bursted out with tears.  He was so scared.  At this point he didn’t know what to do.  The last place Adam had been to was the Library.  Adam quickly put his shoes on and he ran to the library.  The Library closes at 12:00.  It’s 11:30 at the moment.

 Adam was surprised.  He saw his Dad sitting on the chair.  Adam stopped for a moment. But Adam had  no time to chat.  Adam quickly ran to the corner.  That was the last place Adam was seated.  He looked everywhere.  Adam just sat down on the chair. Sad and angry.
“How could I lose that key?.  It was right in front of me,  IT WAS IN FRONT OF MY EYES!” 
Adam sat there.  For at least two minutes.  But something was off.  He could feel someone staring at him.  The hairs from the back of his neck were tinkling.  He stood up. To his surprise, he saw his Dad.  Adam Screamed!.
“Dad what are you doing?!.”
His Dad laughed.
“Son, I know why you’re here.”
Adam didn’t have a good connection with his Dad.  They would always have bad moments with each other. 

“You..You know why I’m here?”
“Of course I do.  I’m your Dad.  I have my own ways to keep my eyes on you.”
“Then why am I here?.  What am I here for then?”.
He giggles.
“You’re looking for the key. Hahahaha. I wonder... where.. it.. is!”
“Dad give it to me!!”
Says Adam.
“Try and FIND ME!”
Adam’s Dad quickly runs away!.
Adam couldn’t keep up.  His Dad disappeared.  He was nowhere to be seen. 
“I gotta  get that key! Why does he always have to act childish!!”
Adam saw his Dad run into the bathroom.  He rapidly ran after him.  Adam was shocked.  His Dad disappeared.  AGAIN! 

“Wha….What?.  Does my Dad have superpowers?”
