The Creatures Under The Carpet

We love our carpet, we do everything on it. My younger brother, Josh, plays with his lego, I read my books and my little sister, Jess, plays with her dolls.

When we play on our carpet we are always happy.

“Lucy's It for Hide and Seek!” Jess shouted.

“Lucy, count to one million.” Josh instructed as he and Jess ran off to hide. I closed my eyes and counted, but only to thirty.

“Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty! Coming, ready or not!” I shouted. I ran into the dining room. Nothing. I tried the kitchen. No one. Living room. There was Josh, looking like he had seen a ghost.

“Found you!” I said.

“L...L...Lucy, there was something under the c...c....carpet. I saw it m...m....moving.” Josh stuttered.

“Don't make things up like that Josh, now help me find Jess.” I said.

“Lucy it's true! The carpet was moving!!” Josh convinced.

I sighed. “OK then, I'll lift up the carpet to see whats there.” I told Josh.

“Fine.” Josh said. So I cautiously walked towards th carpet and slowly and gently I lifted it up. Nothing was there.

“See Josh, it was all your imagination.” I told him.

“But I did see the carpet moving!” Josh convinced.

“There's nothing there though.” I said, I looked at the carpet. Suddenly, a little brown creature thing of some sort crawled out from under the carpet. I was shocked.

“Get me a jar.” I told Josh. He did as I said. I opened the lid of the jar and quietly tip-toed over to the creature. When it wasn't looking, I put the jar on it and screwed the lid on. I took it outside and unscrewed the lid on the jar, and the creature crawled out into the hedge.

“I'm glad its gone. Oh, we still need to find Jess!”  Josh reminded me. I nodded and we ran back into the house.

The hooded figure had disappeared, my determination hadn't. I crept down the dark corridor, floorboards creeking as I took each step. Soon, the corridor came to an end. “Darn!” I thought, “but, how did he get through here?” I shivered. Could it...no...but...maybe, was the figure a ghost? “No, thats impossible,” I reassured myself, “ghosts don't exist. There's a logical reason for this, I just need to think.” And I did, for a while. As I did, I leant against one of the walls. Before I knew it, I was falling in darkness, with not the slightest idea where I was.

I should've known. Ghosts don't exist! It was a secret passage! Old mansions like that one always have a secret passage-way. Why hadn't I'd known that? I scolded myself. I suddenly was on the floor. I spotted the figure with something in his hand. “Hmm,” I thought. I got up and started following the figure. In moments I was so close to him, I could almost reach him. But it was better just to step away, a lot away, incase he was the thief. My karate skills weren't bad, but I still needed practice.

I took 10 steps back. The figure paused for a second. He entered a code on a pannel and a door opened. He went in. I went in. The room was filled with money and jewels. This was obviously the thief! I quickly hid behind a huge pile of coins and the thief pulled out a sack from his pocket (several sacks actually, about 3, that pocket must have been huge). The thief hadn't yet took off his hood but I was determined to find out who it was. I stepped out from behind the coin pile and said, “stop right there.” I pulled out my badge. The figure turned around and the hood fell from their head, they had a shocked expression on their face and it wasn't a man it was...Megan?!

An Acrostic Poem

Story writing is fun,
Telling them to people, making the whole thing up,
Open the book or tell it in your mind,
Running away from monsters, capturing an island,
Is yours fiction or non-fiction?
Everyone loves hearing a good story,
So why not read this one?

My imaginary world. (a poem)

A sparkling sun shines over the city,
Peculiar cars hover over the surface,
Steal silver robots stomp around in the darkness,
Exploding volcanoes shoot out scarlet lava and dark rocks,
Mystical mountains glimmer in the landscape.

A Limerick

There once was a young lady from Crewe,
Who oneday got a touch of the flu.
She was bitten by a snake,
And hit by a rake,
And then she cried, "boo hoo!"

Journey to Choco Universe

Feeling bored, I sat in my classroom. Mrs Walsh, my teacher, was going on and on about division. All I was doing was looking around the classroom. It was filled the pictures, posters on notice boards, books and tons of other stuff. There was also seven desks which three or four children sat at.

“Caroline, go get the math books.” Mrs Walsh instructed.  I did as she asked and went into her cupboard.

Now the cupboard had a million shelves that held books, pieces of paper and models.

Suddenly, the trap door on the roof opened and a ladder came out.

“I don't think anyone will mind if I take a peek up here.” I thought as I climbed up the ladder. In it, there was a small room in which a tree stood. I gasped, staring at it. It had a leaf in every color of the rainbow! Since red was my favorite color, I took the red leaf off. I then shrank as petite as the leaf. The leaf revealed to have a small handle, I put my hand on it and it opened. To my surprise, it revealed a world of sweets.  The world was as colorful as a rainbow! I stepped into the world and everybody froze. I looked around and saw a big building with lollipops on and a small sign saying: We Live Here. I saw some mountains made of brownies which had icing sugar on top. There was also a small chocolate lake. The palm trees around the lake had green circles all over them.

“Welcome to Choco Universe,” whispered a voice. I turned around and saw a girl with long, long ebony hair. She had bright blue eyes and fair skin. She was wearing a pink shirt and pink ballet shoes with jeans.

“My names Lauren,” she said.

“Hi, I'm Caroline,” I responded, frightened.  Lauren handed me a green circle.

“Here. Have a time circle,” she said, smiling. Smiling back, I took the circle and put it in my mouth. I swallowed it. It tasted like jelly!

“Thanks,” I said looking at the floor where the door was. Before Lauren could say anything more, I had gone back into the cupboard and was getting math books. When it was playtime, I tried to tell my friend Ella about the world.

“It was probably just a dream,” she told me, walking out the door. Since everyone was out on the playground, I went into the cupboard. I tugged on the string on the trap door. Nothing happened. I was puzzled. I tugged again, nothing. “Hmm,” I thought, “maybe it was a dream after all.”

JEC world

On a warm midsummers evening, I was watching a cartoon program. Feeling tired, I turned the TV off.

Suddenly everything went dark and a giant hole as black as ebony appeared in the middle of the floor. Shocked, I found myself being sucked up by the hole! It felt like I was being frozen!

As I fell down a dark tube, I felt scared and I thought about where I might land. After what seemed like forever, I arrived with a thump on a cold, diamond floor.

“Where am I?” I cried, hoping someone would hear me.

“You are in JEC world.” A voice answered. I turned around to see a strange blob creature as green as grass.

“Who are you? Whats JEC world?” I asked, confused.

“JEC world is a cartoon universe, like the one you saw on TV, and I am a blob, one of the many strange creatures of JEC.” The blob explained.

“Can you help me get home?” I asked.

“Only if you help me and the JEC king and queen first.” The blob said.

“How?” I asked.

“Go to Gem City and get the key to the Puffle Palace. Then come back and give the key to the JEC queen.” The blob said.

“OK. Is Gem City that way?” I asked, pointing to a golden path. The blob nodded.

I said goodbye to the blob and started strolling along the gold path. As I got to the end of the path, I saw a glimmer of colors in the distance.

“That must be Gem City!” I yelled happily. I started running towards it. Soon, I got to a golden gate.

“Why are you here?” A voice asked.

“I am here to get the key to the Puffle Palace so I can go home.” I answered boldly.

“Well, in that case...” The golden gate opened and I walked in. Everything thing in Gem City was made of gems and it was so beautiful. Looking around, I saw in the corner of my eye a crystal palace before me. There was also three keys, a ruby key, an amethyst key and an emerald key. I remembered that the Puffle Palace was pink and green, so I eliminated the ruby key from my decision. I also remembered that the JEC king was green so I picked the emerald key. As I walked back I prayed that I had the right key. Soon I arrived back at JEC.

“Well done, the emerald key is correct,” the blob smiled.

The JEC queen came up to me and asked, “may I have the key?”

“Of course your highness.” I responded, giving her the key.  The queen held it up to a rainbow in the sky. Gold sparkles fell on the palace.  The gold puffle was renewed and the ebony hole appeared again.

“Thank you,” said the queen as I got sucked up again. I bowed my head and soon I was traveling through the tube again.

Suddenly I found myself home on the floor. I also saw a small green key in my hand. “Wow, what an adventure,” I said, smiling at the petite key.
