Nightmare

Nightmare

I’m walking through the forest; I wish I’d stayed at home. I’m not safe. Something’s not right, the fresh forest air has become polluted and the world around me is eerie silent. Then I hear it .

A SCREAM!

A CRACK!

Before long ,I’m running. I stop to catch my breath, tears rolling down my face. I realize what’s happening.

Creeeeak!

A tree collapse inches for where I stand. I look around one last time , I see my home destroyed.

Darkness

An earthquake!

I sit up, sweat pouring down my forehead, relief washes over me. No earthquake, the ground is still. I hop out of bed to get a glass of water. I stop. A buzzing. It’s getting louder and louder. I rush to the window.

No!

Not again!

Buildings tremble and quiver under the force of the earth. What if this time it’s the end.

A new life line

Thursday 8th May 1506

The rain is heavy, the water’s rough and the boat’s wretched.

We are getting ready to sail home as we have little chance of finding new land to search .The rations are low and our hopes of succeeding the exploration are lower.

At the last minute, the lookout spotted what we suspected was an island in the east. We decided to venture towards our new location as it would surely be better than going home with just a few gold coins at hand.

After our greatest efforts of fighting of the ocean waves, we finally reached land. It appeared to be quite fruitful, we will search our new lifeline at dawn

Big blue eyes

Many orbits ago, when the world was pure. There was a small but loved town called Crete. In this town lived a beautiful young girl called Shappious .She had a wonderful gift, her eyes were always wide with amazement and they twinkled like two big blue sapphires.

One tragic night shappious’s father had called into her mother’s bedroom. Because of a fatal illness going around Crete, Shappious had found her lifeless mother tangled in her unwashed bed sheets .Her mother had gone to bed early and her life had slipped away whilst in a deep sleep. Slowly and painfully her father’s life left too because of the heart break he had felt for his loving wife. This left Shappious by herself on the lonely streets of Crete.

Grieve filled years past by and Shappious grew taller and more memorizing every day. Unfortunately she had learnt to use her gift the wrong way. Because couldn’t afford her own food, she used her eyes to charm people into giving her all she needed and more, for free. Every night she would come home to her newly built camp with a basket full of sweet delicacies all for herself. One hot flustering Shappious thought to herself  “I am so well off, I can charm people into giving me what I want and some people on the streets are dying of starvation ,I’m better at thievery than Hermes!”. Hermes had heard Shappiouses thoughts and was enraged “a mortal thinks she can out do me! “he boomed.

The night passed and the sun rose, the next morning, Shappious was strolling through town when her gaze fell upon a gleaming silver necklace. Swiftly her hand reached out and clasped around the necklace. The shopkeeper who had been browsing his rubies was now fixing his deathly stare on Shappious. Her legs started to move, she was running. Despite the speed of Shappious’s feet the shopkeeper was much faster as it was like his feet had wings. When he caught up with Shappious he shoved her against the wall and whispered “do not make a fool of yourself you can’t out do me! “and with a cloud of mist he was gone. Shappious stumbled to the grown gasping for breath what that strange man mean? “She mumbled.

After a night of lurching in and out of sleep the news had spread that Achilles was won the battle and was passing through Crete on the way home. Ever since Shapppious was a mere child  she had dreamt of owning horses such as Achilles’ this was a perfect opportunity to prove just how good she was at thievery .Shappious spent the next coming weeks plotting her master plan. When the day finally arrived, Achilles strode into town next to his immortal horses with a parade of soldiers marching behind him. Achilles had stopped to great the king of Crete when Shappious decided to take her move. She crept up to the horses and tore at their rains and she swung upon their backs, galloping into town with the whole Greek army running after here. Hermes had been watching her and he was truly amazed “she has made a fool of one of the greatest heroes of Greece; I will prevent it from happening again! “ He growled. Back in Crete Shappious had found a safe place to hide. She was admiring her new horses when her eye lids stared closing and blackness covered the world. here eye sockets became heavy, she tried desperately to open her eyes so she could see her surroundings but no matter how hard she tried her vision stayed black, little did she Know that in a few panic filled moments ,instead of too beautiful blue  eyes , she was destined to have eyes made out of crumbling coal for the rest of eternity and so she did , never to see the beautiful earth ever again

The deathly shadow

Lo: can I show what type of character my god is?

I gazed up from my glass wine; a dark shadow was circling my hut. His feet dragging across the grainy sand, I could hear his rasping breath against the wall. The sound of the wind howling danced into my ears. I scampered to the back of my hut. Slowly the door opened. In floated a figure wearing a raven hooded cloak. His ghostly white face glanced up at me. The figures eyes were two pure black marbles, he had yellow gritted teeth and his damp hair had been cut at. All colour had been drained from his hollow face .In a deep voice he groaned “you have been ungrateful to your leaders and fellow warriors, you will be deprived of all respect in the underworld!” He gasped. “W…Who are you?”  I stuttered. Before he could reply, a dark mist filled the hut stripping me of all sight of the man. When the mist finally parted the man had gone and all that was left was a stain on the white marble floor  where he‘d been standing.

The death of Icarus

Thursday 1st October 2015
Lo: can I retell the ending of a story using noun phrases and accurate verb choice?

As they darted down the king’s tower their tender ivory white wings spread out across their blistering backs .they glided up! They soared across the electric blue sky their feathered wings easily cutting through the rushing air. Icarus swiftly started to shoot upwards towards the scorching sun. “Boy don’t fly to high” cried dadelus but icarus was swooping and twisting above him to notice. “ with my talent for this flying I could do anything even take on the sun god” whispered icarus with a smirk. The furious sun god Apollo over heard and sent the beaming rays of the sun to melt the wax sticking the battered wings together. the sun shone upon icarus and slowly red wax started to trickle down his back. Then suddenly icarus started to fall ,icarus tumbled out of the sky and plunged down into the crashing sea below, the impact crumpling every bones in his body. for years icarus rotted in the furious sea forgotten by all but his father who wept for the rest of his life .
