THE MYSTERIOUS CASTLE<br />
by David<br />
Secretively, Jeff crept out of his front door. It opened with a creek. He<br />
paused. All he could hear was the silence that filled the house with sleep.<br />
Eventually, Jeff arrived at the castle. The lake glistened in the sunlight as<br />
bees buzzed passed. Phenomenal flowers filled the inside from every<br />
imaginable colour. A red and gold carpet narrowed down to a colossal golden<br />
chair. Ten minutes later, Jeff entered the king size bedroom and laid down in<br />
the jumbo bed.<br />
With a jolt, he awoke. Not a sound could be heard. Silence. Cobwebs<br />
covered the ceiling anxiously Jeff looked out of the window. The oily surface of<br />
the pond stood out in the darkness of the full moon. A muffled cry could be<br />
heard in the distance as Jeff cautiously crept out of the room. Something<br />
brushed past his neck. Nervously, he turned around. No one was there. Spots<br />
of moonlight filtered through the broken glass. Violently, a bat flew past. Jeff<br />
fell back. He quickly got up and ran downstairs.<br />
All the petals had fallen off the flowers and the red carpet had muddy<br />
footprints. A dark silhouette with dark red eyes glared at him…<br />
Frightened, Jeff bolted out of the castle door. The howls stopped and<br />
the sun blazed down at him. The river shone in the sunlight once again as the<br />
birds sang a breath-taking song. It was like the castle swallowed the secret.
CREEPY CITY<br />
by Anakchan<br />
Joe crept down stairs, dodging the creaky step. He tip toed to the door.<br />
The floor board creaked.<br />
Two hours later, Joe arrived at the city. The sweet aroma of flowers<br />
lingered in the air. The tall houses towered over each other. Joe wondered<br />
what a nice place for the moment. The people were suspiciously kind. After he<br />
had a glimpse of the city, he got tired and went to sleep, dreaming of crystal<br />
tower and goblins.<br />
In a flash, he woke with a shock. It was pitch dark and wolves howled. He<br />
listened carefully and heard breathing. The sun had disappeared behind the<br />
sky scrapers. Dead mice covered the floor. The flowers shrivelled. The lights<br />
mysteriously turned off. He heard a chuckle and saw a knife on the floor. A<br />
light turned on and something brushed by his neck. He thought something was<br />
behind him but it was the wind. An eye flickered.<br />
In a second, he left in a flash. He had a quick glimpse behind him. The<br />
eye was gaining on him. He heard a growl getting louder. He saw it come<br />
closer.<br />
Running like wind, Joe ran for his life. There was no exit. People were<br />
blocking the exit. He had an idea. He jumped over a fence and ran until he had<br />
no breath. Eventually, he was safe.
SLENDERMAN IN THE<br />
FOREST<br />
by Kajus<br />
Slowly, Jeff crept down the stairs dodging the tenth creaky step to exit.<br />
He entered Claw Tooth Mountain and could see his home from the view.<br />
The mountains were a beautiful place to be in. All the snow was fun and<br />
it was deep enough to make a crunchy step. Later on Jeff went to sleep.<br />
In a flash Jeff awakened. There was almost no light and all he saw was<br />
tall mountains towering over him one by one. A ring in the ear meant that not<br />
a sound could be heard. Soon he found the forest that led back home but it<br />
seemed to go on forever.<br />
Just then, a set of green eyes appeared in the darkness. Something<br />
blitzed past him. Now, he was running for his life and then he caught a glimpse<br />
of the mythical creature known as Slenderman and he stretched his arm and<br />
almost grabbed Jeff but he just missed.<br />
At that moment, Jeff realised he was no longer in the forest but had<br />
finally escaped and was safe.
HORRIBLE ZOMBIES<br />
by Seraj<br />
As I jumped through the window to the garden, I raced to the town,<br />
across people and town streets. I felt tired but I came to this beautiful place.<br />
I front of me, a peaceful waterfall shimmered. Tall trees swayed and the<br />
red flowers smelled like sweets. Finally, I sat down and I fell asleep.<br />
With a jolt, I woke up. Everything was darkness. There were no people.<br />
Maybe something happened. My heart stopped.<br />
The waterfall was dark and grey. First there were fishes but no more and<br />
they were killed. It was shiny but now no. What happened over here?<br />
I felt something on my neck. I looked back. Nothing was there. But<br />
someone said ‘shhhh’. Silence. My heard beated fast and fast and he said<br />
‘Don’t breathe’. There was blood everywhere. People were screaming and I<br />
didn’t know what is going to happen.<br />
Footsteps were coming closer. Almost a zombie was going to get me. I<br />
ran for all my life to save myself from the town.<br />
Finally, I was at home. I ran upstairs, I jumped in the bed. Now that I am<br />
not doing again and it was a horrible day. Try your hardest to escape and save<br />
your life!
JOHN AND THE MYSTERIOUS<br />
CASTLE<br />
by Delaxan<br />
As John cautiously tip-toed down the stairs, he couldn’t wait for the<br />
adventure that will await him. John glimpsed at a window and he saw the<br />
translucent window climbed through the window<br />
He saw an old school castle made out of solid rock and the door was<br />
open. He took a quick peek through the door but the urge grew even more so<br />
he went inside. Red velvet carpet covered the entire floor and there was<br />
shining armour that nearly made him blind. John explored the castle even<br />
more and it was the best castle ever. Then he felt snoozy and he slept. John<br />
dreamed of knights and swords.<br />
With a start, John woke up. The darkness filled the entire castle. Lofty,<br />
huge silhouettes of rusty ancient armour carpeted the brown and squalid<br />
carpet. As silence awoke, John wandered around the castle. John followed the<br />
carpet and then it stopped.<br />
He looked back and two huge blue eyes shone so brightly. As he tried to<br />
escape the castle, he felt something brush against his neck. He didn’t turn<br />
round. He kept on running.<br />
Eventually, he could see some lights in the distance. As he got closer, he<br />
could tell that they said ‘KFC’. He breathed a sigh of relief. He will never go<br />
back to the castle again.
THE UNKNOWN<br />
by Noah<br />
As Jamie crept down the stairs, he was recounting the creaky steps. Next<br />
Jamie ran down the road and across the river.<br />
Eventually, he got to the palaces. It was pure blue like a perfect sky .The<br />
flower bed had beautiful roses. Jamie strolled up the stairs and a smell<br />
mysteriously wafted in the air. Just then, Jamie fell asleep.<br />
All of a sudden, the lamps turned off one by one. The horror began. The<br />
flowers were wilted and mourning. On the shelf, something appeared that was<br />
most certainly not there before. It was a doll.<br />
A moment later, scary music started playing and the doll fell off the<br />
shelf. Jamie heard the phone ring. He picked it up and lightning struck. The wall<br />
wrote with blood “who dares come in”. A voice muttered slowly “who dares<br />
come in”. Jamie shuddered and threw himself out the door like a bullet.<br />
It was like a door to freedom. He dashed and finally, he got home. Still<br />
dodging the steps, he frantically jumped into bed. “I’m never going there<br />
again.” And he never did.
THE UNKNOWN CASTLE<br />
by Imane<br />
As Jody sprinted down the stairs she leaped over the fifth one as she<br />
knew it creaked. While she stuffed her face with cereal, she struggled to put<br />
her shoes on. As she sneaked carefully out into the drive, a blind was being<br />
pulled open and Jody scurried out to the castle but little did she know it was<br />
haunted…<br />
Rather than checking it was safe, Jody ran into the castle without a care.<br />
As she entered the castle, light hit her face, music louder than lightning, shook<br />
the ground. Entertainment was organised by magicians, actors, acrobats and<br />
the trapezium. The food wafted strongly and immensely and tasted even<br />
better. The servants saw that Jody was tired and took her to her bed for a good<br />
long nap<br />
With a jolt she awoke. There was not a sound to be heard. Silence. As<br />
she got up, Jody freezed .A muffled cry could be heard in the distance. A<br />
picture fell and as it smashed it mixed with evil cackles .Jody gasped. Who was<br />
it? A faint light shone in the darkness but what was in the light seemed like a<br />
man. She inched closer. The moons light shone in the glowing sky. Suddenly<br />
she realized the man was a suit of armour and she huffed a sigh of relief.<br />
Continually, muffled cries could be heard in the distance. Jody had to<br />
take a closer look. But as she entered the room she screamed, “good grief” and<br />
ran for her life. She zoomed home, barricaded the door and slipped under the<br />
bed. She felt like she would never go to sleep again.<br />
And from this day on people called it the unknown castle because<br />
nobody knows who the beast is…
THE UNPLEASANT FOREST<br />
by Zaynab<br />
As Cloe tip-toed down the creaky old stairs to leave the house she found<br />
a forest …<br />
Cloe dashed to the unpleasant forest. She hurried and hurried. When<br />
she arrived, she sat down and fell fast asleep, dreaming about a unicorn and a<br />
girl that looks exactly like her.<br />
With a jolt, she awoke in a shock. She had noticed it was dark. The sun<br />
was down and the moon arrived. The owls hooted and Cloe shivered in fear.<br />
Cloe started to run.<br />
Slowly, Cloe saw a red eye blink…she panicked and ran as fast as she<br />
could. She ran out of breath and tripped. Suddenly something brushed past he<br />
neck she shivered nervously<br />
Shocked and scared she was stuck in a gloomy old and dull forest she felt<br />
more scared than ever. The swoosh happened again she was petrified and<br />
horrible she was in fear. A twig broke. She felt like there was some one stalking<br />
her. She felt she had to go home but there was no path.<br />
She paced quickly out of the gloomy old forest she found herself safe at<br />
last. She ran home.
THE KILLER DOLL<br />
by Genny<br />
Just as the sun rose, Lilli set off for the forest of the living doll. She had<br />
heard all of the stories of the doll that was abandoned there many years ago<br />
but she didn’t care; she had never believed them. Soundlessly, she crept down<br />
the stairs, careful not to disturb Rocket, the jet-black cat.<br />
After what felt like a lifetime of sneaking down narrow, empty roads<br />
with Rocket in her arms, she reached the forest. The soft ground was crisscrossed<br />
with thin strips of light. The pond sparkled like millions of shards of<br />
glass. Exhausted, Lilli settled down with her back against a tree and she closed<br />
her eyes as she fell asleep.<br />
Hours later, she woke with a jolt to find herself in the same forest, yet<br />
it was filled with long, ghostly shadows. Rocket sat beside her, whimpering<br />
with fear. Leaves rustled at the foot of a tree. There was something there. A<br />
mouse darted out from beneath the leaves. It was just a mouse it couldn’t hurt<br />
her. But she knew there was something there. She just knew it.<br />
Something was missing. The pond was gone. But how can a whole<br />
pond just disappear? Then she looked closer. It was still there, just blanketed in<br />
shadow.<br />
Cautiously, she stood up. A twig cracked. Red eyes blinked at her from<br />
somewhere deeper into the tangle of trees. They belonged to a strangely small<br />
figure. It advanced towards her. It was a doll. The living doll. It held a<br />
bloodstained axe. Terrified, she grabbed Rocket and ran for her life. She risked<br />
a glance over her shoulder and saw that the doll had gained on her.<br />
Immediately, she set off again, even faster than before. The axe thudded into a<br />
tree, barely missing her arm as she dashed on, desperate to leave the forest.<br />
All of a sudden, she caught a glimpse of buildings on the horizon. The<br />
closer she got, the further away it seemed. Finally, she stumbled through the<br />
gate, down the narrow alleys and into her home. She ran up the stairs, into her<br />
room and threw herself onto her bed. She breathed a sigh of relief, glad to be<br />
safe at home. She definitely wasn’t doing that again!
FOREST TROUBLE<br />
by Imen<br />
After Matilda packed her suitcase she sets off for a vacation, but little<br />
did she know that there were secrets lurking in her dream day.<br />
As soon as Tilly arrives at the forest she is over the moon. The pond<br />
glistens like crystals in a mine, and dragonflies zip their wings as fast as<br />
lightning. Flowers bloom proudly presenting their stunning bright colours<br />
swaying in the gentle breeze. Dreamily, she dozed off while crickets chirped<br />
noisily.<br />
Eventually, she woke up but everything had changed. The moon<br />
shimmered like gold as owls san their night melody. Suddenly something<br />
moved. Something big. Tilly turned her head slowly. There, behind her were<br />
two fire red eyes. Without a second thought, she darted frantically, running for<br />
her life.

colourful swimsuit as well as her baby blue towel then she scurried of to the<br />
beach.<br />

yellow sand mixed in with the salty water. The warm sea was full of joyful<br />
people playing and bright, colourful fishes jumping up and down and side to<br />
side. Emma peacefully dozed of.<br />
With a jolt, she awoke. The sun was gone and it was dark. The<br />
sea turned black and it was full of rubbish. Emma turned around and behind<br />
her were millions of little crabs crawling on top of piles of dried up sea weed .<br />
She felt some thing brush against her back. Although she wanted to find out<br />
who was behind her she was to scared to move. Emma heard a whisper in her<br />
ear, all of a sudden there was a huge splash so she turned round but there was<br />
nothing there but the sea and the sand…

SIDE<br />
by Ugnius<br />

the window landing on the soft grass.<br />

started to pedal like never before. He finally arrived at the beautiful cliff side.<br />
Feeling tired, Dan slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.<br />
Excitedly, Dan woke with a start. As the sun disappeared and the sky got<br />
darker and darker, the bush rattled. The foliage grew big spikey thorns and all<br />

be heard and in the distance, red eyes could be seen.
DEAD MEW FOREST<br />
by Jakub<br />
Secretively, Tom tip toed out of his house not to anger his parents by<br />
awaking his parents. Impatiently Tom made it out of his house and made to<br />
dead mew forest.<br />
It was a delightful place with beautiful birds tweeting and hefty<br />
elephants then Tom felt drowsy and started to snooze.<br />
Hastily, Tom jolted awake . daylight faded away to nothing. Colossal<br />
outlines of humongous trees blanketed the forest. Not even a peep could be<br />
heard. In front of Tom was a silhouette shaped like an axe. But it was just a<br />
rusty sculpture. The wind mill was illuminated with pointless and empty joy.<br />
Moments later, something brushed past Tom. Shivers ran down his<br />
spine. He rushed through the forest but the he heard a giggle which gave him<br />
goosebumps. He still ran until he saw a shadow of a beast. It came closer and<br />
closer until you could hear it. Sweat started to trickle down Tom’s face.<br />
Tom couldn’t take anymore and he pasted out of the forest. Tom made<br />
it to his house in silence and he felt like everything was a secret.
THE FOREST OF THE<br />
UNKNOWN<br />
by Aimran<br />
As she nervously stumbled, she slowly looked around her room for an<br />
escape plan. Then she looked at the window. She knew what she had to do.<br />
Before she knew it, she was there, at the rainforest. She left her canoe<br />
and explored. Tall trees with dangling vines shone. The waterfall shimmered in<br />
the reflection of the powerful sun. The smell of the flower lingered in the air,<br />
making her feeling sleepy and her eyes closed.<br />
With a jolt, she awoke. Noticing everything was dark, she heard a hisss.<br />
As she moved back, monkeys were trying to get her. She fell on her back.<br />
Quickly, she got back up and ran for her life. She never looked back. Vines<br />
broke. Pieces of glass made her bleed. Just at the moment she stopped, she<br />
looked back and no one was there. She went to an old cave and went inside.<br />
There was a red-eyed wolf lying down, getting ready to pounce.<br />
Luckily, something suddenly saved her and took her to another day.
THE DAY OF THE CIRCUS<br />
by Shajan<br />
When Fred unlocked the creaky ancient door, he set off for a journey to<br />
the circus. Clearly everyone knew the only way to go to the circus is by train.<br />
However, there is only one train that could take Fred, its stops at man dead<br />
train station.<br />
As Fred arrived at the train station, he saw trains drifting like it was ice<br />
skating. Elegant music filled the air. Ecstatically Fred danced to the beat of the<br />
music. Suddenly Fred dozed off.<br />
A few hours later, Fred woke up. He saw graves scattered around the<br />
train station. There were signs creaking against the wind. Narrow silhouettes of<br />
trains blanketed the lane. Not a breath could be heard. As he gradually turned<br />
around, two specks of light glared at him he took a risk to take a few steps but<br />
everything was lifeless. Silence.<br />
The next thing Fred knew something brushed past his neck. He still<br />
thought that no-one was there. Suddenly, a figure crept out of a shadow. It<br />
was a doll with a blood stained axe.<br />
Fred started running while he was darting down the lane. He turned<br />
around and saw that the doll had gained on him. Ahead Fred saw a light<br />
leading to the surface. He ran closer and closer towards the light until he finally<br />
made it there. Fred knew he’d never go to the circus again.
DEAD ANGELS FOREST<br />
by Elliott<br />
Carefully, Jeff climbed out of his window into his front garden. He<br />
stopped. The neighbours dog started to chase him, luckily they were chained<br />
up. Jeff excitedly darted towards Dead angels forest…<br />
A few hours later, he arrived at the forest. The sky-kissed trees towered<br />
over the forest like shields. The glimmering lake shone brighter than the sun.<br />
Sweet flowers filled the air with greatness. The aroma of flowers put Jeff to<br />
sleep.<br />
Jeff woke up with a jolt. The horizon descended behind the trees.<br />
Something touched her. There was a handprint on his back…
THE TRIP TO THE CIRCUS<br />
by Maja<br />
Slowly, Jess crept out of her ancient house to get in the car. Jess who was clever,<br />
knew if it was her birthday her parents would take her by car any-were she wanted at any<br />
time. Before her birthday, she searched up the Artistic Circus and she decided to go there.<br />
As Jess arrived in front of the circus her jaw drops! Intricate patterns filled every<br />
corner the tent like place. Soon she spots the perfect present for her. A live time supply of<br />
toffy pop-corn and 70cm magic trick boxes. To Jess the place felt like heaven. Not glad at all,<br />
Jess read a sign on the wall that said that the show will start in 2hours so Jess decided to<br />
take dreamy nap.<br />
After two hours Jess woke up. Her parents sat beside her hugging her tightly.<br />
Suddenly, a glimpse of light started to shake and crack. Her heart thudded. All at once, the<br />
light broke dim. Where had everyone gone? The light turned on. Nobody. Her parents were<br />
not there. Jess screamed her head of. Un-identified shadows grew taller and taller until they<br />
grew bigger than sky scrapers. The circus seemed to be abandoned but, all at once, a<br />
horrifying screech happened. Then, silence. Only silence. Her heart thudded. Out of<br />
nowhere, she caught a glimpse of blood red eyes. Jess wasn’t sure if it was really there but<br />
she had a thought that it might be real.<br />
After that, the sound of razor claws echoed swiftly around the pitch black circus.<br />
Finally, Jess turned around and dashed towards the creaky stairs. She knew something was<br />
tip-toeing behind her. She wasn’t the only one in the circus.<br />
Choosing the right decision, Jess turned around quickly and sprinted down the stairs.<br />
She knew someone was glaring at her but she did not stop running. Bloody knives flew<br />
across Jesses fingers, but luckily she managed to dodge them. At the bottom she paused.<br />
Four doors were placed ahead of her. Her heart stopped. She knew that if she chose the<br />
wrong door, she would stay here forever. All at once, she realised that something was<br />
charging towards her. She didn’t have a lot of time. Hurrying, she closed her eye and<br />
grabbed the nearest handle…<br />
Right in that moment she opened the door, she found herself on her street. There<br />
was no sign of the existence of the circus. She was safe at last.
Thank you for<br />
appreciating our<br />
hard work.<br />
We hope you are able to sleep<br />
tonight..!
