I’m going to make this VERY clear, my name is NOT Baby Bear. My name is JONATHAN
WIGGLETON. That blonde criminal thinks she is ALL THAT. I am three AND A HALF years
old! I am very mature.that girl thinks she can break into my parents house and then
have the AUDACITY to judge us!!!! I’m going to cancel her. This is what really happened….
My mother woke me up (way to early!!) on a saturday. I was meant to help her with
the washing (she’s very insistent on wearing the latest fashions). But I fell asleep.she
came back upstairs screaming at the top of her lungs about not respecting her and
that she had made but it was too hot so we had to wait for it to cool down and I was
meant to be up. I apologized and got dressed.she practically pushed me and my dad
out the door. And that’d when little GOLDILOCKS appeared!! She broke down the door
and let herself in. First she slurped down my mother’s FAMOUS PORRIDGE that we
had been waiting for and COMPLAINED ABOUT IT!!!!???? Like what did she expect, A
SEVEN COURSE MEAL!!!!???? Ugh. Then she decided the test (?) our chairs. Then she
hated my parents chairs and BROKE MY ONE!!!! After, the prostitute decides that she
is ever so tired of a kind and innocent hour OF DESTROYING OUR HOUSE!!!! She goes
upstairs jumps in my mother’s bed and says “ITS TOO SOFT!”. Does the same thing to
fathers but this time the princess thinks its “TOO HARD”. Then, get this, she goes into
my bed (!!!!) and decides in her twisted little mind decides its perfect and GOES TO
SLEEP IN IT!!!! By this time, my family and I were coming coming around the corner
to find our front door was off its hinges!!!! We cautiously walk in to find our house IN
SHAMBLES; bowls of porridge thrown all over the place, we found porridge stains all
over my mother’s and father’s chair and mine in PIECES. We quickly went up the stairs
following a trail of destruction to find HER SNOOZING IN MY BED. She must’ve heard
us coming because when we got there she was half awake. She screamed “BEARS!”
threw a pillow at my father and bolted out the door. My parents were furious and
chased her all the way to the edge of the forest. We thought we’d heard the last of her
when we saw that she put out a statement in the newspaper claiming to be the VIC-
TIM IN ALL OF THIS! Then she, wait for it, RELEASES A BOOK ABOUT IT!!!! Which was
so painfully wrong but everyone sided with her for some reason. She literally doesn’t
deny her crimes and you STILL SIDE WITH HER. I mean like, COME ON!?
So that’s me and my family and I’s side of the goldilocks drama. I hope you know you
now realise that we aren’t the villans in this story, she is.

Spy Camp
It turns out that this camp is actually a spy center and they are making us do loads of
push ups, sit ups, and squats. We also have to eat a lot of chicken breast. Now that we
are all in top physical condition we are learning how to code, decode, and speak different
languages. We just started learning how to use spy gadgets. It’s pretty fun I guess.
We are supposed to go on our first mission tomorrow. I’m pretty sure we’re going to
use the world’s largest emerald to build a huge laser to blow up a giant meteor but
it’s not heading towards earth, it’s heading towards somewhere much much worse
than the sun. Yes, it’s bigger than the sun. If this doesn’t work the universe will be
destroyed. I’m going to bed now and I’m super worried about the mission tomorrow. I
really hope I don’t mess up because I for some reason got the hardest job, taking the
emerald, even though this is my first mission. Oh if you are wondering why we don’t
just ask the museum if we can borrow the emerald, it’s because the biggest crime
agency in the world A.L.I.E.N* have it.
*Always Livid In Every Nation*
We are getting ready to start the mission now. Once everybody is ready we go on the
mission. In order to get to the emerald we have to doge a ton of lasers then swim
through shark infested water and finally parkour on moving red hot metal and you had
no time to think about your next move or else you would get burned. When we finally
got to the emerald there was a laser wall blocking it but I had a laser proof suit on so I
went through. In order to retrieve the emerald I had to use suction cups to lift the glass
case off but OH NO! I forgot the suction cups so it was time for plan B to smash the
case but my suit only protected me for two rounds of being lasered but I knew what
I had to do so I went through the laser wall for the 2nd time. I got the hammer then
went through the laser wall for the 3rd time and it was agonizingly painful then got the
emerald then left and went through the laser wall for the 4th time and I don’t remember
anything after that but you will be happy to know that we destroyed the meteor.
THE END!

The Double Train Crash
“I’ll be back in two hours” texted David to his daughter’s babysitter. David was a ticket
seller at the London train station. It was the 6th of February 1984 and the Third World
War had begun a year before. It was being fought between NATO and multiple other
countries including the Soviet Union. The sky was a dark purplish red due to the bombings
of surrounding cities. Every other train station in London was turned into a bomb
shelter. The only reason that this station wasn’t closed was because the owner of the
train company wanted to earn more money. The train station itself was small but horrible
since it had random bumps and cracks in the walls and no lights installed. Some
workers had brought in a few lamps that they put in the corner of each room.
The workers at the station had to work for 15 hours a day with only two breaks but the
work was worth it because the workers were paid above average for a job at that time.
David was about to finish work for the night and was feeling hungry. He looked at the
candle on his desk and thought about his previous job as a candle maker. He had a
5 year old daughter called Helena who was with a babysitter whenever he wasn’t at
home. A football game was on in a nearby city so there were more people than normal.
David started to doze off since it was the middle of the night. Suddenly, a loud
crash and multiple screams woke David up. “Was that a train crash?” Thought David
to himself. David ran down the station’s stairs and into a staff only room. He walked
through the break room and came out of the room onto the platform. David looked at
the train tracks in horror when he saw a train which had slammed straight into the wall
at the end of the tracks. London was the last stop so the tracks ended at a wall. David
noticed multiple football t-shirts inside the train and he also noticed that there front
carriage was extremely crushed. David ran up to the door of one of the carriages and
attempted to open the door but failed. Another worker had appeared behind David
and called the fire department using a telephone on the wall.
The fire department arrived half an hour later and the workers at the station ended
their shifts early due to the crash. David was cycling back home and had stopped by a
small shop to buy some food. David had bought some bread and eggs and then headed
home. Suddenly, the roar of a dozen planes was heard from above. An explosion from
far away lit up the night sky as the ground shook. The street David was on was right
next to the River Thames so it didn’t help when a falling bomb exploded a bridge. David
dropped the food and cycled back home as fast as possible to get to his daughter.
David arrived at his house as a bomb hit the street. The explosion ignited surrounding
buildings into flames as David ran into his house. David found his daughter in her bed
and hugged her. “We need to find a bomb shelter” said David to Helena. “Ok!” Shouted
Helena who was terrified.
David and Helena who was sitting on his back cycled by the train station that David
worked at and decided to go in. The fire department was still there but most surviv-
11

ing people from the crashed train were taken out of the train and were taken to the
break room which was turned into a mini hospital by multiple doctors and nurses.
“What happened Daddy?” Asked Helena as they stepped onto onto train platform. As
David was about to explain what happened, someone who interrupted him. “What
are you doing here!” Shouted a short man in a black suit. It was the owner of the
train company. “We’re taking shelter from the bombs” replied David to the owner.
“This isn’t a bomb shelter, get outta here! boomed the owner. “We’ll die if we go out
there!” Shouted David at the owner. “How dare you shout at me, this is a public train
station not a bomb shelter” Shouted the owner back. “Sir, we have to go help the city
in putting out the fire” said one of the firefighters to the owner. Before the owner
could reply, David interrupted him. “ Public train station? It’s occupied by a literal train
crash, there are no trains coming here” said David. “They’ll stop before the crash, now
scram!” shouted the owner. The firefighters began to leave the station. “I’ve been on
that train and I know that there’s a turn right before the stop and the train goes downhill,
there’s no chance they’ll see the crash” said David. The owner realised his mistake
and ran to the telephone on the wall and tried to call someone. “The phone lines are
down” said the owner worriedly. “Wait, Helena where are you?” Asked David after
noticing that Helena had disappeared. David then noticed Helena walking inside one of
the crashed carriages out of curiosity as the noise of an incoming train was heard.
David ran into the train carriage as fast as he could but tripped over when the ground
shook due to a large explosion from far away. David stood up and noticed Helena next
to a carriage door. David ran to her and grabbed her. David suddenly heard a knock
from he carriage door. David opened it and screamed when he saw a heavily injured
person without an arm wearing a football shirt. David and Helena ran out of the carriage
as the train approached. “No stop!” Shouted the owner as he jumped onto the
tracks. “Don’t!” Shouted David at the owner but it was too late. The train smashed
into crashed train which was crushed even more. The second train’s front carriage
was also crushed and burst into flames. Parts of both trains flew towards the end of
the tracks and hit the wall. Glass shattered and multiple people screamed. Helena and
David walked into into break room and almost bumped into a doctor who was checking
out what happened. “Another train crash” said David to the doctors and nurses. David
checked whether Helena was ok and kissed her when she was.
The fire department arrived a few minutes later after they heard the loud crash from
the station. After a few hours, the bombing stopped and David and Helena went back
home. On the way back, David picked up the food he bought and dropped earlier. Their
house was one of the only couple in the neighborhood that wasn’t damaged. Helena
fell asleep instantly and David made himself some toast and eggs. David thought about
becoming a candle maker again and fell asleep later.

Zane POV:
It was Liam’s birthday today, hope was pretty upset this morning because we made
up a secret birthday plan that everyone knew about. So whenever he would go up to
anyone me and his other best friend, Jason, knew about, Liam would ask “Do you know
what special day it is today?” Then people would reply with: “Uh, July 1st on a Saturday?”
Or “I really don’t know, what is it?” And that made him quite disappointed. But
I’m pretty sure this plan would make it up to him.
Jason set up the balloons and his mom and mine baked the birthday cake, but our
dad’s didn’t do much than sitting on the couch watching or talking about football (they
got scolded by both our mothers)
Eventually, everything was ready! The cake, the decorations, and his presents were all
wrapped up and ready to be torn open, now all we had to do was hide and wait for
him to come home from summer camp…
15 minutes pass by and we were kind of miserable of waiting, mostly Milo because he
was stuck to the roof—
Then suddenly, the door creaked open and a light shined into the living room. “Quickly!
Get into places…!” I exclaimed quietly. We all hid as he walked into the living room.
“..Why is it so dark in here?” He inquired in a depressive tone.
“SURPRISE!!”
We all shouted.
He felt his mouth open a gap and wet tears fall down his face, he rapidly swiped his
cheek with his palm, “This is the best birthday ever” he smiled brightly.

встановить зд-ания на на жизни Я не способен.
I am an angel, and my job is to assist God. I help the creatures that need a helping
hand. I received a message that there began a war between people and jars. Unfortunately,
their Universe was too far, and it took me 4 days to get there after their battle
started.
When I landed, the planet was already half-destroyed. People had a half of jars killed,
but they themselves stayed without any victims. I’ve managed to stop the war! I can
restore the buildings, but not the lives of those who passed.

“Finally I’m going to get eaten , I’ve waited for this day my whole life!” said the bucket
of shrimp. “Me too!” said the bowl of crisps. “Me too!” agreed all of the foods. One
person however, didn’t want to be eaten… and that was, THE WEDDING CAKE! The
wedding cake (better known as T.W Cake) gave all of the foods a bitter look,”WHY oh
WHY please tell me, would you want to be eaten? The EXCRUCIATING PAIN!! IT FEELS
LIKE VERY FABRIC THAT HOLDS TOGETHER YOUR BODY IS BEING RIPPED TO SHREDS!!”
screeched T.W Cake. The bucket of shrimp looked at the cake and sighed,”Your
crazy old man.” T.W Cake looked over at the bucket frothing at the mouth and
screamed,”YOU THINK I’M CRAZY!?(T.W turns around to show a scar on his back)YOU
SEE THIS!? THIS IS THE BITE I GOT IN 87’ , AN ALIEN TOOK A CHUNK OUT OF M-!
Out of nowhere U.F.O’s poured from the sky like rain, streaking havoc across the wedding
, hundreds of them all at once. The sky turned a ugly dark maroon colour,”My
god… THEY’RE BACK EVERYBODY DOWN, GET COVER!!” warned T.W Cake. The bucket
of shrimp was flabbergasted,”W-w-what how is this possible?” said the bucket. “GET
DOWN THEY’RE GOINGTO SEE YO-” T.W Cake awoke after the aliens had sent a shock
wave down to earth,”EVERYBODY I HAVE AN IDEA!” screeched T.W Cake. “What is it!?”
chanted everybody. Looking around at everyone, T.W Cake felt a wave of bravery wash
over him,”EVERYBODY NEEDS TO GET A HANDFUL OF SHRIMP AND A FORK, WE’RE
GOING TO FLING THE SHRIMP INTO THE CONVENIENTLY PLACED WEAK SPOT ON THE
BACK OF THE U.F.O’S!” screamed T.W Cake almost running out of breath. “I assume
we’re getting the shrimp from me?” said the bucket of shrimp in a sad tone. “Finally
you’ve gotten something right! Okay enough messing around, EVERYBODY GET SUITED
UP!” screamed T.W. Everybody proceeded to fish a handful of shrimp out of the bucket,
and grab a fork from the last table that hadn’t been sucked into the U.F.O’s. “EVERY-
BODY AIM! FIRE! AIM! FIRE!” screeched T.W. Slowly one by one, the U.F.O’s went down
crashing. They had done it! The heroes had ended the aliens invasion and rest peacefully.
“Okay that’s Finally over!” *Robot noises come from the distance* “Oh great!”
said everybody.

Extract
As Norman predicted, Phobus found out about the robbery and was infuriated. He
summoned his underboss, Thanatos, who was a close associate of the emperor and
the man who fired the killing shot on Scar. “Thanos. Phobus said you have heard about
the robbery, yes?” “Thiscannotbe tolerated and must be punished, do you know of any
reliable hitmen?”
“I know of the most reliable” Don Thanatros said “his name is Dhato. He has done
numerous jobs for your father. In fact when your father blessed me with the honor of
killing Scar, he had a pirate crew accompany me. Here’s his number , give him a call.”
Phobus did just that and a pirate answered “you the emperors kid?” “No.” Phobus said
“I am the emperor , but the old one,yes was my father.” “Right.” Said the pirate. “Anyway
what do you need?”
“I have sent you a list of the guys I need to get rid of.” Phobus said. “But I need them
all done within five minutes, I have carefully planned this time so that they are all not
with their guns, but if they find out about the other guys’ deaths they will surely take
up arms.”
“And the payment?” The pirate said.
“Half a million per hit” said Phobus.
“Deal.” Sajd the pirate.
Phobus hung up and poured himself a glass of bourbon, and the hits began.
In the next five minutes many deaths occurred.
First Don Ceasars guys in prison, where most of them were shanked by pirates inside
men.
The next one on the list was Vito, who due to his low rank was given a plea deal and
didn’t have to serve time. He completely restarted his life and became a wealthy bank
manager. That night he was out drinking with his coworkers in celebration of a new security
system he had fitted. Vitos murder would be a lot more difficult as they couldn’t
shoot up a bar full of innocent. However the perfect opportunity arose when they
found out he was scheduled to give a toast and Vito met the grim reaper who slipped
poison into his drink by pirate men.
The last two murders were carried out by the pirate himself. He told Lupo who was
returning to his house after being let off by the police on bail. When Lupo was in an
29

alleyway beside his house the pirate was still following him from behind and took out
his gun and shot a completely oblivious Lupo in the back of his head.
The last murder target was not a member or Don Ceasars organisation but the one
who would hurt Don ceasar the most… his wife, kiara Wren.
Pirate in the dead of night shot kiara to death in her sleep. Leaving Norman Neri to
awake to the sight in the morning.
After this the pirate dialed the call to Phobus “its done.” Phobus mildly irritated said
“that was twenty minutes you should consider yourself lucky.” “Nobody put up a fight”
said the pirate. “I will have my men deliver you your payment soon” phobus said and
hung up.

Let Love and Forgiveness to Reign
Probably to be wealthy or to be a daughter of really famous parents sounds so posh
and glamorous. But not for me. My mother is really successful lawyer who wins every
case which was given to her. And my father prestigious CEO in bank. Everything
can seem really beautiful and you would think that I have to enjoy my life and swim
in reaches of gold. But rich life is not like this. It is filled with secrets which never be
revealed. It is filled with grevances which would never be solved. And it is filled with
revange and passion which will never fade.
My parents never paid attention on me. They just provided me with everything I
needed. I always hanging out with maids and was cruel child. When I was 3 years old I
cought a bird and did it ‘unneeded’ surgery and then did a grave for this little bird. She
was killed because of my hands. And she was buried because of me. It wasn’t enough
for me and I didn’t know why.
I was expelled from hundreds of schools because I thought that I was better than
anyone else I thought that I’m in power to rule a school. But one day everything was
changed. I was expelled from one more school and the reason to this was only because
I didn’t study. When I came came home from school the only question I got ask from
mother: “Do you have any homework?”. I wanted to have an attention and didn’t do
anything. I only answered: “No”. Now I’m 18 years old, already an adult which I’m so
proud of. There is a year left to finish for me a school and I was moved into prestigious
school where children all from well-known families and everybody hoped that their
warmth will come into my heart and they will share with me it. But self-confident, urrugant,
selfish me will never trust this kindness. Months passed and whole class afraid
me especially this nerd Vika who accidently got in our school because of her brilliant
smartness. Ah, hate poor which are around me. She had really nice parents but really
poor. Because if you can’t find normall and sustainable jod in New York you will never
be rich. Her mother was a maid in my house and always play tricks with her. For example
I pour an oil on the stairs so that she would stamble and fall on her beautiful innocent
face. And then she walks with big bruise on her eye. Her father a builder which
as Vika says builds increadible castles for princesses. Beloneys, usually I say. Because
if he would build beautiful houses and castles, his daughter would never wear such
trash as she wears nowadays. She is the smartest in the class, Vika knows all apects of
history, maths, geography, english literature. But I get a chance always to humiliate her
in front of class as she annoys me. Her glasses always slip from her nose and one day I
smashed them.
I have a posh walk in front of class and I get a sit wherever I picked. But I haven’t got
any friends. I don’t know what actual friend is. And I never fall in love. I just have everything
I wished, until that day.
Three new pupils arrived at our school. First girl was with black hair her walk was quiet
agressive. Bandage was on her forhead and all her uniform was absolute black. She
slammed the door and beside her sat another girl who had serious and judgemental
stare and with glasses from Armani on. She was in impacable uniform and unfriendly
eyes. That’s what I was looking for, a first thought that run through my head. Last pupil
was a boy with dark like an ash hair with penetrating blue eyes and handsome face
who made my butterflies in my stomach flutter and fly. I never felt like this before, I
32

thought I was sick, but it was something worse and it us at first that I fall in love. I tried
to get his attention, but he rejected me really painfully only after he saw that I bully
Vika. He helped her to stend up looking kindly into her eyes. I couldn’t describe such
despair which I felt, I never get an answer no in my life. After the lessons I sat on the
bench which was beside my school, ignoring my driver who has to bring me home.
“Black girl” that’s how I called a new pupil in our school walked passed me with her
friend and suddenly stopped towards my deraction:
“I never thought that girls like you can cry.” - she said surprisingy.
“Leave me alone!” - I said desperately
“I didn’t know that my brother such a heartbreaker” - she said funny
“Your brother?”
“Oh, I forgot to introduce my self I’m Millie and that is my assistant friend Polina. Well,
we probably look so similiar with Michael but we absolutely different as kind of people.
I never talked to him since we were kids. I always like to have troubles or fight with
people, can get easily angry and can cause lots of bad staff. But my brother kind, smart
and as my mother says “sweetheart”. My parents are famous designers who have their
own brand of clothes. They are kind to me, but I feel it is completely a lie. And that’s by
the way Polina who is never smiles, serious, smart and direct with her opinion to people.
Her parents are great detectives, who always teach her to be a cold-minded. You
don’t have to introduce yourself, I know you, Chloè” - she described this so smartfully.
“I think you will be a nice couple with my dear brother, because I as well as you don’t
like this what’s her name Nika?”
“Vika” - Polina prompts
“Oh yes Vika, now we will be great friends with you Chloè”
“Be ready to the worst Vika” - I said passionaly with angryness
***
Mounths passed and our evil team was known to whole school. We reigned terror and
power over the school, but the biggest our enemy was Vika. We glued her sit so when
she will answer during the lesson she will be glued to sit and whole class laughed from
her. Michael always protected her and something bigger than a friendship grew in their
souls which I would never suspect - it is love. Once we stole her key from her locker and
started to play with it, Vika started to resist and said the phrase that startled and bewildered
me:
“Michael will protect, you will regret of what you are doing now, he loves me and love
him”
I fell on my knees, not saying a word. Polina said scientifically and flatly without emotion:
“Your love with him it is not 100 procent proved, because you have a purpose to lie
us.”
“Shut up!” - I said bewildered.
33

***
After the school Millie spotted Vika and Michael are holding their hands and turned
the corner of the school, she called up Polina and me and proposed to follow them
as they seemed so suspicious. We all agreed, and straightaway headed towards their
direction. As far as they stopped Millie took both our hands as a sign to stop. From the
corner three of us saw how Michael kissed Vika which was really weird. And I losed my
mind, Millie hold my hand as I really wanted to break out.
Michael left with a warm smile on his face.
Millie jerked to her and punched her into face so she fell frantically. I took her by her
throat and girls continued to punch her and Vika started to sufficate until we realised
she is dead.
***
Our enemy has passed away and no one has seen us as we thought at first. But actually
Michael saw from the corner the scene of our murder, and called to the police immideatly
reporting us and his sister without no regret. My mother got the best lawyers but
the court didn’t have a mercy on us and ordered to arrest us until the end of our lifes
and send us into the harshest jail in the world. That’s what we actually deserve.
We arrived there and we didn’t have such power as we had in school, absolutely opposite,
everybody bullied and convinced us to do the worst work in the prison. And
now I actually understood how is it like to be bullied. Because here we can’t argue with
anyone as here all the worst prisoners were gathered together. All three of us fell on
bed and we are exhausted. In our dreams appeared Vika in white gown haunting us
and asked for repentance and confession, but every time I escaped from her and from
apologies.
Once we got a letter, but I knew that this letter not from our parents as they forgot us
but from somebody called “Anonymous” it said:
“Dear girls
I know you stuck in this prison till the end of your life, how pity it is. You seeked for
justice, but what can you do now sitting here? I can suggest you really good proposition.
There is a game called labyrinth, which has in the end a glorios prise filled with all
reaches and all your wishes will come true. But don’t forget that everything gets not
as easy as it seems. In this labyrinth there will be lots of trials which you have to cope
with and survive through your old fears. Afraid or not but time starts to go. I will be
waiting for you at the midnight at the main gates of prison if you want to join and get
incredible prise. Don’t lose your chance!”
“Our chance to win equalls 1 percent” - Polina says calmly.
“Don’t be too dramatical Polina. We will get this prise and all our dreams will come
true” - I tell them unsure.
“Polina is right. We don’t know this person and what is his purpose of writing this to
us” - Millie makes everything clear, but I insist.
“If you won’t go, I’ll risk my life. Because I don’t have anything to lose.”
34

“Well you are right. Therefore deal. Let’s meet over there and see how it will go.”
The night crept up so quickly. I couldn’t see anyone around as I left building because
guard as usual took a little nap. While I was approaching to that place I saw that something
lied in the middle of road. I came closer to take a look.
“What is that?” I heard the voice at the back and strightaway recognised Millie and
Polina. They standed as me, bewildered. I collected a book from the floor and opened
in the middle and saw a red bottom. Under the buttom there was a sign: “Play”. With
curiosity I pressed it and the world started to dissapear, black hole swallowed us as
worms.
I woke up and first thing that we saw it is a labyrinth with high walls made of bushes.
“Welcome to the death labirynth. Thanks for choosing us. As here we will meet three
people who are going to fight for their prise and with their fears. Will they win or misterious
ghosts will get rid of them? Let’s see. The rules are so simple don’t get caught
by a ghost or monster. Good luck!”.
“What’s happened?” I ask
“You don’t know what’s happened. Because of your curiosity we stucked here and die
of a hungry monster who will eat our souls. That is what actually happened. I will better
stay in that prison than with you.”. - Millie says angrily.
Cold breeze headed to us from the entrance, but we had no choice but to only enter
the game.
As soon as we entered we realised that this labyrinth will take ages. We walked exhausted
as turning to right or left never ended. I was hungry and thirsty. I never
thought that the prison will be better than this endless labyrinth. But what is the
strangest is that no monsters, ghosts or spooky things. Just grave silence. I spotted that
clock was on our hands which showd how much in procentage we already passed and
how much left to get to the end and there is 40 percent left which is already impossible
to me. We didn’t know what time is it know only sun helped us to understand is
there a night or day. But sun was really strange as day which was measured my calculations
of Polina sometimes lasted 3 hours or maybe twice more. We couldn’t trust this
either. Suddenly silence wad invaded by a strong wind and all leafes started to tremble.
We all heard a sound of wounded deer which screamed through the wind. Millie loved
animals so she followed distant sounds. I knew that something was wrong and we ran
together:
“Did you hear this animal scream. We need to help him” Millie said in desperate voice
on our way when we got closer. I couldn’t argue with her as she is so stubborn. At the
corner we saw a little deer which was strangely laughing and suddenly it transformed
into ghost of Vika. It’s a trap. Now she had all power:
“You thought I will leave you unpunished” - she smiled eagerly.
Her ghost suddenly vanishes and sky was full of black clouds.
We couldn’t figure out where is she and what did her words mean. Until we heard
moarn of Millie. The knife struck into her and she fell without breath. Rain started to

pour. Polina kneeled beside dead Millie.
“Don’t leave me Millie” - she said weakly “you were all my life. If you will go, I will go
with you as well.”
“No, Polina. Don’t do that. Don’t leave me alone in this labyrinth.”
It was too late. She took out a knife that struck Millie, and Polina killed herself. Holding
hand of her sweet friend: “I will be always with you, Chloè. Now go and get a prise
until you will be killed as we were”. She closed her eyes. Puring rain started and I felt
such a depression. Sounds which were dead surrounded me and drived me mad. And
I realised that I have to run and try my fortune. I immidiatly followed the clock which
started to give wrong information and every time percentage of distance between me
and exit or increased or decreased. It seemed as a compass was disorinientated by a
metal. I had to run, but what was strange there was only one way out. Suddenly a door
appeared in front of me, but there wasn’t any other ways only this wooden door. I felt
that dangear was so close so I was left without any choice but only to enter. A bright
light blinded me. And all the anger which was in my soul passed, I never felt like this
before - so free. All that hatred which I had vanished. I heard a voice:
“So what is your wish my darling?” - the voice was somewhere in a distance.
‘I want...’ I stutter with a doubt. “I want to ressurect Vika who died from our hands,
Millie and Polina who died because of the revange. And let love and forgivness to
reign”
I heard a snap and it got dark in my eyes.
I woke up realising that I sit beside Michael.
“Please forgive for everything that I did to Vika” - I say desperately.
“Sorry? What are you talking about?” - he asked kindly smiling without purpose.
“But...” ok, that means that he does not remember anything. Neither Vika, Millie or
Polina.
“Hello Chloè” - Vika said kindly smiling at me and she sat beside Millie.
Non of us remember what happened and how we became a really good friends even
with different tastes or interests, but it doesn’t matter. I don’t want to tell anyone, I just
want to enjoy.

Marry Manson
Hello, I am Marry, Marry Manson for sure. I believe that I can be a detective! I am 16
years old and I will tell you my story.
I born in the small village in the London “Howkins”I have a god family we are not rich
and not poor, In general, an ordinary family that lives from paycheck to paycheck.In
childhood I always ran away from home and ran to the forest and try to find something
interesting. In a one day I again try to ran away from home but my sister saw me and
said “WHERE ARE YOU GOING???” I said, heyyy be quiet, come to me, let’s go. My
sister’s name is Holly at that moment she was 8 years old and I was 6 years old. We
come to the forest and we start try to find something interesting, and we accidentally
went deep into the forest and in one moment something black and about 3-4 meters
tall,matched Holly and she vanished into the darkness. I ran away faster than I ever ran.
I run,run,run and in the end I ran out to our house, but Holly, she, she stayed in the
forest. I was scared of all what’s happened.
