Ben's Story

The Shadowlands
Book 2

Walking down the thoroughfare, the amulet jangling around his neck, Tom began to wonder why they were doing this in the first place.

“If they wanted the amulet destroyed then why hadn’t the done so at the village?” he asked Caretaker his question.

“Because if we let it run out of power then the wall which stops our dimension merging into yours will be abolished, so it can only be destroyed at the volcano behind the king's palace,” was his answer. They were nearly at the volcano then suddenly then stopped moving, their feet were but the volcano wasn’t getting any closer.

“Bewitchment,” whispered scruffy, “very unyielding bewitchment. Tom, it's time.” Tom grabbed the amulet from his neck and held it in his palm he whispered the words into the ore imbedded in the small gold carapace of a turtle.
Suddenly their feet were free.

“This is bad: it means someone knows we're here.” Hiding behind a rocky outcrop the atrocious heverlades looked at them and prepared their next attack. Tom sensed movement and one again once again used the amulet, the two heverlades hurtled down the mountain and landed with a thud on the ground, they walked on up the mountain path and looked down at the pulsating lava.

When Tom was almost at the the top he tripped and the amulet went soaring into the lava.

First there was nothing, no voices; the very air seemed to go still, then an air splitting crunch the blackness.

Furious curious imagine imagination funeral caretaker garage supermarket mountain document

It had been coming on for a while. Something inside his head was furious really furious, it was bad now.

He heard his mother call down to him “come on Tom we going to the supermarket now’’ but he hardly heard it. “oh not now’’ the room around him started to fade into nothingness he looked down at his feet and saw the tunnel through to a world of imagination. Tom’s mum walked up through the garage past the mountain of documents on the desk and into Tom’s room, then she screamed, for the monster that stood in front of her was too terrible to describe. Tom stood up, he looked up at the men in front of him they looked angry, “may your funeral be soon” they shouted at him, “leave now little…” he stopped mid sentence “vot are you?’’ “I am Tom”. “Leave now Tom or stay here to fight the king”. ”Ok I’ll stay and who are you?” “I am the caretaker”. “Do you have a name” said Tom. “Yes caretaker”.
“We have to go to the mountains of doom to destroy this” said a scruffy small man-like creature who was standing next to Caretaker as he pulled an amulet out of his pocket and gave it to Tom. “It’s magic so anything you imagine will come true but be careful we are still curious of its powers”.

Claudia's Amazing Spelling Story

It was a lovely summer day when twins called Lucy and Martha finished their last day of school. They absolutely loved school holidays because they always went on awesome holidays and right now they were packing their bags to leave for Maui (Lucy and Martha live in New York). It was so good to get out of the city, the girls thought as they packed their surf boards! Once they had landed, their parents said the girls could go off and explore the island. Excitedly, the girls ran off towards a small river to paddle their hot feet. What the girls didn’t realise was that the tide was coming in and the river gradually was getting higher. Martha accidentally fell into the water and the current swept her away! Lucy screamed for help but there was no one around to help her so she dived in and started swimming towards Lucy.

As Lucy swam along, she grabbed a long stick and held it out, yelling ‘Martha, grab hold!’ Her struggling sister managed to grasp hold of the stick and Lucy dragged her to safety. Bedraggled, the two girls clambered onto the river bank and lay on their backs panting, soaking wet. ‘Well, that’s one way to explore’ Martha joked, ‘thanks for saving me’. ‘We better get back before it gets dark’ Lucy said, and the two girls set off in the direction of their house. When the girls got home, their mother was very relieved and made them a hot chocolate and tucked them into bed.
