The Troll
Siena Shotwell
Chapter One
His greasy yellow hair flung back. He stared at me, frowned, then swung his giant mouldy club at my head. I’ve got to admit, he’d be a fairly good baseball player.
Grinding his bronze and blue crooked teeth, he let out a gianormous
rancid roar. Spit flailed through the air, landing in great blobs of yellow and green bubbles, but not the bubbles that people blow through hoops.
The sun turned away behind a cloud. Now I was really freaked out, so I ran for it, but it turns out that was a very stupid idea. Now I’m locked up in his disgusting castle (if a castle is what you could call it). You couldn’t even feel the floor, there was so many bones.
Oh, there’s a broken bit of bar – I bet I could bend that bar back then move more, so it makes a hole. Then I’ll be able to get out, I thought to myself. I started right away, and soon I was finished. I walked along the chamber with my hand on my sword.
Chapter Two
I closed my eyes and crossed my fingers and opened the door. It squeaked open, and sitting there was the troll. I gasped, for it wasn’t the stupid cave troll that swung the club at me earlier – it was bigger, stronger. It wore a giant white gold crown on his head. Around his waist was a large blood-stained leather belt, and a huge waistcoat was over his shoulders.
He turned. “So, you’re the thief who stole my treasure!” he boomed. I didn’t know what the troll was talking about. “Now you shall pay the price!” The next thing I knew I was walking along a long narrow plank. I realised the trolls’ castle was in the clouds, just like Jack & the beanstalk, I thought.
I looked down – a whole sea of crystal white clouds floated beneath me. “GO! Jump!” cried the troll. “Be off with you!”

Dear Mankey, well done for becoming our cat.
Although Olly teases you, I think it was a good choice.
Being wild must be hard, no safe place to hide or keep warm.
You’re really a good cat, I think everybody should have a cat like you.

PANIC ON THE TITANIC
Bella Culshaw
The ship started to creak and then the unexpected! It broke in half. Our ship loomed upward diagonally towering. People were falling into the shredding suction in the water.
I hung onto the bars on the front of the ship with all my might – the Titanic was sinking.
Screams rattled my brain like prisoners shaking their chains.
Suddenly the back of the ship let go of the front and we slammed down onto the water like a belly flop.
Only a couple of seconds later the suction from the front of the ship which was plummeting towards the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean started to pull us down as well!
I climbed up onto the other side of the bars. The surface of the freezing water was getting closer and closer. I held my breath. We were underwater, and I started to swim desperately to the
surface, but the Titanic pulled me down like it was trying to take me with it to the dark abyss below and keep me in its history
forever.
But it let me go anyway. I burst up to the surface. It was like one thousand knives sticking into me all over my body after swimming for minutes only. I found a floating piece of wood which looked like it had come from the ball room. It was just the right size. Soon I was almost as frozen as an ice cube.
The seconds started to come together. It was getting very quiet. My eyes started to close, but then out of the shadows I saw a light gleaming towards me. A man was shouting, “Pull her in! Pull her in!”
They wrapped me in a warm blanket of cotton and laid me down on the bottom of the life boat. It was a boat full of the crew from the historic Titanic.
The men fired flares into the air and shouted at the top of their lungs. After what felt like forever, a ship came and I could just only make out the name, Capathia, that was the ship that saved me and hundreds of other people.
When we arrived in New York, a young man walked up to me with a board. “May I have your name love?” he said it very softly. It was comforting to hear somebody speaking without panic in their voice. “Rose,” I said, “Rose Buckatayer”.

THE NATURE MOVES—
Final part
Lucas Baird
“Hi, Nathan, so you got bullied,” I said excitedly. I thought finally I could get a friend who’s like me. “I got bullied a lot at my old school, I lost my mum and dad and they were attacked by Bracanius. I got
poisoned there but I was saved by the Kenethland Police Army. I got put in hospital and met Doris and here I am”.
Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling and fireballs were falling from the dark, gloomy sky. Screams, shouts and horrified voices were everywhere. A sharp pain suddenly shot through my entire body like I was getting electrified. I clumped to the ground, and deep dark voices were booming around me, was I still alive?
I slowly woke up somehow in a metal cell. I saw Doris, Nathan and two other boys, or shall I say, plants. One had venus fly trap arms and one had two beaks coming out of his back, they were both groaning. Suddenly the venus fly trap boy shouted “HE’S AWAKE!” They all hurried to me. “What happened?” I said. The venus fly trap boy said, “I’m Socorro and that’s Ryan. You got knocked out somehow and Bracanius put you here in this old dungeon cell”.
“Now that you’re here, we need your help,” said Ryan. “We need you and me to melt the bars of the dungeon cell and Socorro can bite the bars with Ryan and Doris. Okay? We are going to have to do this with every prisoner,” said Nathan. “Wait,” I said, “there’s one problem, how are me and Nathan going to melt the bars?” “Of course, you can, you’re humans, once you enter Kenethland you can melt metal if you put your power into it,” explained Doris. “Well, then it’s an excellent plan, let’s do it,” I said.
So we bit the bars and clashed the bars down as gooey metal liquid oozed to the ground. It took twenty minutes to melt all the bars. All the prisoners ran out shouting, “WE ARE FREE!”
Suddenly there was banging coming from the cell stairs, and we froze. It was a giant ugly creature with a putrid, sour face and furry moss covering his entire crusted-up body. My stomach filled with a horrible feeling as all four of my friends started backing away.
Nobody knew what to do. Suddenly, Doris shouted to climb through the window. As we all climbed through, Bracanius squirmed over, “Come back here, you filthy prisoners!” and he wrapped around Nathan’s legs. “NO-O-O!” shouted Socorro and he bit Bracanius’s bacteria-covered hands with his sharp fly trap teeth. Green goo exploded out, and Nathan and Socorro sprinted away. The other prisoners had ditched us, and we were now very thirsty, and had no plan, and Bracanius had an army.
I felt weak and dreadful.
There was a loud booming voice yelling from the castle, “Guards, Pricks, Whipjulls, Moss – attack!” We were all scared. We didn’t know what to do. There was rumbling in every direction, prickles popping out everywhere, and globs of bacteria and moss surrounding us. “The legend was wrong,” said Doris, “ Bracanius wasn’t a mole, he was mould, and he was capturing people into the sewer, not underground.” The blobs of bacteria held them in the air. They now couldn’t move. They were stuck.
As they got carried away, evil cackled from every direction, it was obviously Bracanius.
They were thrown into the filthy dungeon cell again. “Great! Now what?” I grudged. “Shhhh, listen,” said Doris. There was a major rumbling again. What was it? Bracanius demanding a fight? An earthquake? But, suddenly, pistols, swords and harnesses were flung everywhere: and a giant ship rose up and landed right in front of us!
A familiar voice shouted, “Tony, you’re in danger. Bracanius is going to kill you – he’s coming to get you right now!” It was the tour guide! They hurried out of the ship taking lavendars and sprayers filled with bacteria-killing liquid poison. The bacteria, prickles and vines all charged at them. There was shooting, poison spraying, and cries and pain, and after about an hour, all the enemy were dead except for Bracanius. The whole dungeon was smashed, and all four of us were freed, happy to be safe.
As only humans can defeat Bracanius, they gave Nathan and me five roots of lavender and a poison squirt pistol each and we slowly walked up the stairs, terrified. We crept along the corridor and sprayed the whole place. Then we saw a door made of moss and carved in the moss, it said: “Bracanius Emporium”. We slowly opened the door, and looked around – everything was gooey and smelled putrid. A gun suddenly exploded, and Nathan screamed. “He’s hiding somewhere!”
“Well, well, well! Look who we have here,” boomed Bracanius from the side of a mossy wall. As soon as we saw him, we threw the lavender at him, and I sprayed him with the toxic liquid. But he was still not defeated, though he had weakened. We went over to him and used our combined power and melted him with our bare hands. The goo oozed around our feet, and I suddenly felt a big shock. Filled with pain, I thudded to the floor. “Filthy boy, filthy boy!” said a dark voice in my head.
“Are you okay?” asked Doris. I slowly woke up and felt fine, and now Doris was a human again. She had a beautiful face and long blond hair. Across the room, there were three boys, Socoroo, Ryan and Nathan, and there was a gold medal around my neck. It said “Well done hero, you have saved Kenethland. You are all going back to your world. Meet outside the hospital. Farewell. The King & Queen of Kenethland.”
We walked outside and stepped into the portal. We were all back and safe. I finally had some friends, and they came and lived with us in our new house. Socoroo, Nathan, Doris, Ryan and Tony would never forget the day they met. They started a restaurant together, called The Nature Moves, and sold Mediterranean food.
THE END.
