Title: When I was a Gladiatorreason for writing this story: Mr. Burgman ,our history, english and geography teacher, wantted us to write a story about if we were a gladiator. Before Rachel went into the dangerous arena with Ashley and Danyera, she thought about how she became what she is now. ***** 10 months ago ***** Rachel was holding a stick at Ashley and Ash held her stick at Rachel. They were pretending to sword fight. They heard horses galloping in the distance. The two girls called” Kayla, Danni come here!” Danyera and Kayla came running to them. They stopped in shock as they saw the soldiers coming. Rachel yelled” c’mon, over here we can hide in here!” they followed Rachel to a hole in the ground. She told them that her parents had dug this to keep her safe if soldiers came to take her. Unfortunately they were killed two years ago. They jumped down the hole. They fell in to a chamber which was lit with torches. The 3 girls were terrified when they herd horses running above them. A man was climbing down the hole. Danyera screamed. Rachel grabbed 2 sticks, a shovel and an empty bottle. She gave Ashley the empty bottle, Kayla the shovel, Danyera the stick and herself a stick. She went after the man who was now in the chamber and other men were in behind him. He grabbed her by the leg. She was lifted off the ground. He yelled” get the other girls they should be good as Gladiators. Rachel kicked and screamed, but could not get free. Later on Ashley, Kayla and Danyera were put in the cage with her. They were now slaves. When they reached town a lady in a purple dress came up and said” how much for the girl with short brown hair?” the man looked at the lady then at Kayla. He then answered” she is probably worth 3 sheep or 2 sheep and 4 ducks.” The lady looked be hind her and counted her sheep. She had 3 sheep. She gave the man the sheep for Kayla. The man unlocked the door and pulled Kayla out. Then he locked the door again. They were sad that Kayla was gone. ***** In the stadium/arena ***** Rachel, Ashley and Danyera were given a sword, a spear and a shield each. They were pushed out the Iron Gate and in to the arena. On the other side were 3 other girls on the other side of the arena. They were charging at them. Danyera quickly said” pull your shields up and poke your spears out of the side. They did what Danyera said. The first girl could not stop and ran strait in to a spear. Rachel came out of the bundle and took the person off her spear. She dropped her spear and chased one of the girls. She had blonde hair. She was chasing the girl around the arena. Ashley and Danni dropped the spears and pulled out their swords. They were about to help Rachel when all of a sudden a tiger came out of a trap door. They ran towards Rachel as fast as they could. A lion was let out in front of the blonde headed girl. She was tackled by the lion. Rachel changed direction and ran for her spear. Danni went with Rachel. Ashley chopped the head off the dark headed girl. Rachel and Danyera through their spears at the lion, Rachel missed but Danyera speared the lion in the head. Ashley then cut the head off the tiger. It fell to the ground and did not move or breath a gain. Every body cheered for the three girls. The emperor got up. Every one fell quiet. He turned his thumb sideways to show that he was about to decide if the girls were going to live or die. He turned his thumb up so that meant that the girls were FREE!!! THE END

Title: Maya Reson: for an egyptian story wrighting contest, but it was not allowed to eneter becoase i read the rules wrong and mucked it up. Maya was a 14 year old. She lived in Thebes; she was a slave in the palace for Pharaoh Khufu. She worked all day and a lot of the night. But one day she was out in the stables cleaning out the poo for the plants as manure. She heard a noise behind her, as she turned around the person put their hands on her mouth and eyes. She could not see or scream. She tried to get free but she could not. Then the last thing she remembers was feeling something hit her hard on the head. She woke up in a dark room. Her hands and feet were tied together. She tried to see but the room was very dark. Then someone opened the door. Light flooded into the room and blinded her for a short time. The person shut the door and lit a candle; Maya’s eyes grew used to the lighting and saw the person’s face. It was a mans face. He had a scar over his eye and was frowning at her. He said,” tell me what the Pharaoh is doing?!” Maya said,” I don’t know, why am I here?” The man said,” I have taken you for information you slave girl! If you aren’t careful you will end up like my last victim.” He pointed to the corner, blood was on the ground. Maya’s face went white. She said,” let me out. I don’t know anything!” She noticed two other people in the room. One wore a black cape with a hood and the other was too far in the corner so she could not see his face. The man in front of her raised his hand and slapped her in the face and yelled,” Liar!” Maya slumped to the ground. He said,” maybe if we leave you here and come back later you will tell us what we want to here.” He got up and left the room with the man in the cloak. Maya looked at the man in the corner, he wore a white skirt. On his feet were sandals. Maya began to cry, she hated this place, it was dark and everyone was mean. She closed her eyes. She felt a hand on her chin, it lifted her head upwards. She opened her sobbing eyes and saw that the hand belonged to the man in the corner, she looked at his head, and she gasped in shock! His head was a falcon head. It was the god Horus. Horus untied her hands and feet. He said,’ Maya you are safe with me. You must come with me now, before those men come back.” Rachel bowed and wiped the tears from her eyes. Horus said,” there is no need to bow, just take my hand and we will meet the other gods.” Rachel stood up and put her hand in his hand. He started to glow a golden colour then they transported to where the other gods were. He led her up to a golden throne. In the throne sat Osiris. He had green skin and was wrapped up like a mummy. Horus let go of Maya’s hand and said,” I brang Maya father.” Osiris nodded and Horus went off to the side of the room leaving Maya in the middle of the room. May gods stood around the room all looking at her. Osiris got up he said,’ come here my dear.” Maya walked up to the God and stood still. Osiris put his hand on her shoulder and said,” I give you the power of fertility and Lower Egypt. May the cats of the world obey your command.” He lifted his hand away and Maya felt strange. She felt like she had a tail. She looked behind her and she had a long black cat tail. Maya gasped,” holy Isis!” Hathor the goddess of love and beauty held a mirror in front of Maya. Maya looked into the mirror. She saw that she had a cat head. Rachel asked,” what happened to me!?” Osiris said,” you were born a god but you were taken away by that pharaoh Khufu. He made you a slave and made your life terrible. But now you are home and can have your real name. Once you call your self by that name you will have all your powers back and you will take your true form.” Maya looked back into the mirror and said,” my true name….my true name is Bastet.” Baste glowed and turned into a black cat with a golden collar and a scarab beetle on it. She was her true self, she was the goddess Bastet. Sister to Sekhmet and Hathor, daughter of Ra.

Title: Green_leaf's journey Reson: i loved neopets so i wrote this story abut a green eyerie. i have not finished it but one day i will. One day in Neopia an eyrie went to Krawk Island. She wanted to go to the dubloon machine to trade in her twenty dubloons. She was about to place her coins in the slot when a faerie came from the clouds. She was a fire faerie. Fire faeries are very mischievous little urchins. They like to live in wormer parts of Neopia. Her name was Amber. She has one sister. Her sister is Ethine the evil fire faerie. Amber flew down to the eyrie and asked”what is your name young eyrie? I have a quest for you if you want to?” The eyrie answered” my name is Green_leaf. I am willing to do your quest dear faerie.” Amber said” good just call me am or amber because I have a feeling that you will meet me again Green_leaf. My quest for you is find me a snow negg the one that has snow faerie wings. Then go to Fyora if you can find her then ask her to get garden to take you to my castle over Mystery Island. Walk to my castle then say ‘oh Amber where art thou’ and I will appear. You have until midnight tomorrow to do what I have said. Now go,“ and with that she disappeared in to a flame. Green_leaf pulled out her map of Neopia and ordered a boat to take her to Terror Mountain. But what Green_leaf did not know was that the ship was owned by some pirates. As they passed over Maraqua they stopped one of the pirates jumped over board Green_leaf knew this was her chance everyone was busy she grabbed her things and jumped off the boat and flew to Meridell. She was very tired from her fly over the sea. She collapsed. When she awoke she was in the hospital in neopia central. She tried to get up but she still was tired. A gelert walked in to her room he said” are you all right my friend saw you collapse. Why did you collapse? What is your name?” Green_leaf said” my name is Green_leaf and I collapsed because I flew all the way from maraqua.” The gelert said” hi Green_leaf my name is shootingstar11. Why did you fly from maraqua for?” Green_leaf answered” I flew from Maraqua because I was on a pirate ship I think they were going to do something to Maraqua. A yellow usul jumped off his boat.” Shootinstar11 said” ooooohhhhh, cool. A pirate ship.” “Bye Green_leaf hope you feel better soon,” and with that he ran off. Green-leaf looked at the time she had been a sleep for three hours. She got up and tried to walk out of the room but kept falling over. She kept trying. Green_leaf made it to the exit to the hospital. A grey faellie flew out in front of her and whistled a spotted uni came charging around the corner and grabbed Green_leaf. The uni galloped away some police were chasing them. They made the police lose them by running around in circles then going into a building and out the other side. The faellie was riding on the uni’s head they ran to a cave out of neopia central. Green_leaf wanted to get off but could not because the uni was going way to fast. So all Green_leaf did was hold on tight to the uni. Finally they stopped in a room at the back of the cave. Green_leaf heard something in the darkness around her. Then all of a sudden a light turned on everywhere she could see was other neopets. There were grey pets, shadow pets, dung pets and other pets no one really liked. A yellow gelert stepped up to her. Green_leaf knew the gelert, it was shootingstar11. He helped her to her feet. Green_leaf asked” where am I?” A grey uni said” you are in our secret cave. Don’t tell any one that we are down here. We are here because no one cares about us any more. I was dumped at the edge of a street when I was only two years old and look at me know. I made this place with an earth faerie her name was Bella. She went missing two days later. Then a grey faerie wondered where I last saw her, *sigh* I miss her sooo much.” Green_leaf looked at the uni as if she could feel her pain. Green-leaf suddenly remembered” I have to go I have a quest to fulfil for Amber. I have to get from here to Terror Mountain, and then to Fyora’s Palace and some one named Garden needs to take me to Amber’s fire castle, before midnight tomorrow.” Uni grey said” wow I ever had a quest that important I only had a few miner quests. You must be very important. I will help you and so will all my friends. I will take you to the shore where my friend Flipper_the_flotsam can take you to Terror Mountain when you get to the shore Hannah will take you to the negg faerie then back to her cottage. In her cottage a uni will fly you to Meridell. A faerie lupe will wait for you at illusen’s glade. He will take you to faerie land. Here is a map of faerie land if you point to the employment agency and say ‘show me the hidden palace’, Fyora’s castle. Go there and then I can’t help you any more.” Green_leaf cocked her head to the side and asked” why is my quest important?” Grey uni said” it is important because you have to go to Fyora’s castle.” Green_leaf said” ooooohhhhh, ok.” Grey uni says” we go now, we can’t wast a second.” Green_leaf says good bye to shootingstar11 and follows grey uni. They travel for one hour and reach their destination. Flipper_the_flotsam was waiting for them. Green_leaf hopped on his back and they were off for Terror Mountain. Green_leaf had a little nap on Flipper_the_flotsam’s back. When she awoke they were at Terror Mountain. There on shore was Hannah running down to them she told Flipper_the_flotsam to swim for it. She grabbed Green_leaf and ran. Green_leaf asked “why are we running?” Hannah answered “we are running because a monster is after me. He is after this.” Hannah shows Green_leaf her amulet with a red stone in it. It was shinning really bright. Green_leaf heard a roar not far behind them. They ran for miles. Hannah panted” I think he’s gone.”

Chpater OneOne day a buckskin named Silver could not find his girlfriend called golden `the pinto horse`. Silver called to his herd, a horse named Rowan’ the roan or brown coloured foal’ said” I last saw her when she was right next to me when we were getting cased by the mean person. She must have run in a different way or she must have gotten caught” Silver said “what” “no she couldn’t have got caught, I’ll go find her’’ and he galloped away like lightning. He must have gone about 3 kilometres. Then he saw a dirt road, he followed the dirt road to the Colton footy ground and saw a coral. A coral is places were horses get broken. Silver said “oh no there has been a horse here about 5 minutes ago, it was about 5 minutes ago when Golden went missing.” He looked around, there was no one here. Silver trotted off quietly following the dirt road. He saw a road so he looked left and right and galloped off quietly as fast as a flash of lightning. A brown horse and a white pony were in separate paddocks. Silver kicked the fence down like when you kick a ball. The brown horse said “thank you, may we join your herd, please?” “Ok” and they walked away together. Silver asked”have you seen a pinto, horse, go by here just about 5 minutes ago.” The white pony said” aaaaahhhmmmmm, yeah I think I saw a pinto with a man running after her. She was trying to get away I think. The man dropped a thing that looked like a whip so I picked it up and here it is.” Silver asked” by the way what are your names?” The brown horse answered” My name is Bow his name is Snowy.” Snowy handed the whip to Silver. Silver said” thanks, well you now that pinto horse’s name is Golden; and my name is Silver.” *** Now the sun was setting. They had to find something to shelter in and to hide in to. They found the dirt road and he took them to his herd. Rowan that night could not sleep he was worried about Golden. He herd a noise he looked at the bush, then he saw Silver come out of the bushes. He was limping badly. Rowan cantered towards Silver turned to Rowan who was about to cry and said” its ok I was only hit a car and I’m alive and well except my hind leg.” Silver walked over to a grassy spot with levees on it. Rowan trotted up to Silver and asked” why did you go to the road? why were you out there?” Silver answered” the answer is I was looking for Golden and I found the place where Golden is; and a car hit me on the way back.” Rowan said” ooooohhhhh ok.” He trotted off to the hay Silver took from when he got caught two years ago. Then he did one of his good tricks, it was a flip ‘n’ drop to look dead, Silver nicked as if to say ‘that was good but I could do better’

Chpater TwoThe next day bow saw Silver trying to get up and she said” stay here, Snowy and I will get her because we now the area more than you.” “Oh yeah can you tell the description of the house or farm.” Silver answered”the house looks like it’s a ghost house and there is a gaurd dog out the front I got away from it because I kicked in to the ground and jumped in to the air and galloped away from the house and you know the rest.” So he said good bye to his friends and good luck. *** At the paddock the girl named Carole, who said” where are my horses Snowy and Bow.” Then she went and untied the lead rope mounted so quickly it was like she was always there. Then her horse, Tex bucked, Carole fell off and Tex galloped off in to the distance. Her best friend saw the whole thing she galloped off after Tex. Tex galloped off in to the wood very quickly that he all most tumbled over side ways. Her friend Renee all most grabbed his bridle. Renee saw Bow galloping over to Tex her brother. She neighed loudly saying in horse language” hey bro come follow me I’ll take you to were I’m staying,” and they galloped off faster then they were going before. Renee lost sight of them and she memorised the area. When Renee got back she told Carole what happened. *** When Bow got back some of the horses stepped back in fright. But when Bow introduced them they were no longer frightened of Tex. Silver struggled to get up soon went over to Tex and said” welcome to my heard Tex do what you do to make your self at home.’ But before he could make a step towards Bow. They heard a gun shot and saw dust in the distance. They looked at Silver and Silver said “run to the Hillers homestead, NOW!!!!” yelled Silver. They all galloped to wards the Hillers homestead all too easy for the heard but Silver was not so fast because of his hind leg. It was really swollen. The hunter was right behind him. He turned right he saw another hunter to his right so he turn left there was one there too. He ran as fast as his legs would take him. He then thought he could jump them all. But he forgot that his hind leg was damaged. So when he tried to jump he collapsed. The man behind him stoped and through a lasso at him but at that moment a bullet came flying to wards the lasso. Broke the lasso so Silver had a chance to get to the Hillier homestead. He only looked back once and he saw a man coming behind him he told Silver to go in to the country town of Corryong.

Chapter ThreeIn Corryong Silver galloped into the golf courts. People were very upset that a wild horse was running through the courts. Some mania hit the golf ball at his head, luckily Silver saw it coming and ducked. He ran and ran. He was getting very tiered now. He was nearly there. He could see the Hillier’s home now. He could see his heard in one of the back paddocks. Two people were at the house, they were Sky Hillier and Kirby Hillier. They are two sisters, there parents and there little sister were out shopping for supplies. Sky, who was the older sister held a gun in her hands. Silver realised that the man with the lasso was after him again. Sky took aim and shot the gun. The bullet hit right in front of his horses hooves. The horse reared and its owner fell off. This was silvers chance to escape. He went though the gate and kept cantering until he got to the back paddock wit his heard. The Hillier’s’ are good people. They let the horses stay in there paddocks when they are in trouble. When Silver got to his heard he collapsed. His leg had failed him again. *** when he woke up the two girls were there. He tried to get up but could not. Kirby said,” rest stallion, rest. Your leg needs healing.” Silver lay his head back down. Kirby got up and said to Sky,” lets got back inside. He will be ok now. We have to tell mum to get a vet.” The two girls got on there motor cycles and rode off to the house. Rowan came up to Silver and asked,” are you ok?” Silver looked at Rowan and said calmly,” I think so, but as the girl said, I have to rest a bit. So I can’t play with you for a while.” A grey horse from his heard came up to Rowan and said,” come now, Silver needs sleep. We have to leave him in peace.” She nudged the foal away from Silver so he could rest again. But Silver could not sleep. He was so close to finding Golden yet he is so far away from town, and his leg is hurt. All he could think about was what Golden might be going through. He looked out to the road where he was being chased but there was not horse or man there now. He closed his eyes and hoped that Golden was ok. Somehow he drifted into a deep sleep. *** He awoke the next day. The magpies were singing and he could hear cows in the distance. Silver lifted his head up and looked at his leg. It had some wood on it and a long bandage wrapped around it. He turned on to his belly and knelt on his front legs. He stood up with them so he tried the same with his back ones. He was now standing on all four legs. He kept most of his weight on his other three legs, because it hurt his bad leg when he put too much pressure on it.

Chapter Four A few weeks past and Silver’s hope was running out. By now Golden could be sold or worse, she could be dead. Silver’s leg was fixed now, so the vet came and took the bandage off and the wood. Silver bent his knee and pawed the ground. It was as good as new. He bowed his head as if he was saying ‘thank you.’ The vet packed up all of her things and drove off. Bow, Snowy and Rowan came up to Silver and all asked,” so what you waiting for. Go find Golden?” Silver reared and ran off down the dirt path and came out of the tared main road to Corryong. He followed it for a while and came to the sign at the start of town. He stopped to look at them. There was one on each side of the road. On the left hand side sign was a man on a horse with a whip over his head and on the other side showed horse heads all running away from the other sign. This was Corryong’s spirit. The Man of Snowy River would chase the wild brumbies and catch them. He was buried some where in this town. There was a poem & a song made for this man but what was so important about him, he was a man that chased horses and for all Silver cared was that the man was the one who caught his ancestors and made wild brumbies rarer around here now. Silver trotted in to town. He kept to the paths; he did not want to get hit by another car. He sniffed the air. Something was familiar about the smell. It smelt like…. Golden! Silver followed the smell and it lead him to a large paddock next to a school. Children were running around every where. School had not started yet but will soon. In the paddock stood two horses. One was a black horse, it had dirt all over its legs and back. The other was a pinto and she had cuts all on her. Silver called to the horses,” Golden is that you?” The pinto’s ears flicked up and she turned her head. She ran down to the fence and said,” Silver it is you. I thought you were never going to come for me.” Silver answered,’ of course I would come back for you. I love you.” The black horse came over. Silver saw that the horse had a scar over his eye. It showed its teeth to Silver and said angrily,” go away stray. Our I will call my master! We are busy here.” The black horse bit silver’s nose. Silver was about to bite him back when the bell rang. The children ran in side. And a man came out. He wore jeans and a chequered button up top. He saw Silver near his horses and started swaying his arms around yelling,” get off ya mongrel!” He hit Silver on the rump which made Silver panic and ran off down the street. Golden neighed after him, but Silver was too far away to hear what she said. Silver stopped when he got to the park. He was catching his breath and drank from a puddle of water. He could not believe that he had found Golden. If it was not for scare face he would have got her free.

Chapter FiveSilver had gone back to his heard and told them everything. It was sunset so they had to act quickly if they wanted to save Golden. Rowan, Bow, Tex, Snowy and a palmino horse who’s name was Thowra went out of the gate and left the heard in the paddock. They followed Silver into the Town. They kept to the shadows so they were not spotted. They soon reached the paddock, but something seemed wrong. Silver stopped the horses and sniffed the air. He smelt man and he was close, very close. Silver whispered,” stay here.” Silver walked quietly to the paddock. Then stuck his head over the fence. The moon shone over the grass and made it a silvery colour. In the middle of the paddock were the two horses. Golden stirred slightly in her sleep. Silver whinnied to his friend. She lifted her head slightly and saw Silver. She began to step froward to the fence but the Scar-Face woke up and reared. He neighed very loudly. Then something jumped out of the grass and grabbed on to Silver’s neck. Silver reared in fright. He panicked and nearly fell over. He landed again and realised that the man that had shooed him away last time was holding on to his neck. In his hand was rope. He began to slip the rope around Silver’s neck but silver shook fiercely and the man nearly fell off. Rowan ran out from the shadows. He reared and bit the man on the bum. The man let go of Silver, the rope slipped off and fell to the ground like a dead snake. Silver could have sworn that he had heard an owl in the gum tree next to the paddock. Rowan kicked at the man on the ground. Silver called golden then he kicked the fence, but it did not brake. So he tried again this time with more force. He heard the fence crack but it did not snap completely. But before he could kick again the man leapt off the ground and grabbed at Silver. Bow ran over now and tried to get the man off Silver. She bit hard at the man’s shoulder; he screamed in pain but still held on. Rowan was not tall enough to bite the man so he went back into the shadows. Now Thowra came running out of the shadows. He head butted the man off Silver’s back. The man fell to the ground. Thowra being a colt did not know when to stop so he reared up and stomped on the man’s arm. The arm snapped under the horses hard hooves. Thowra went to strike again but Silver nibbled his shoulder to tell him to stop. Siler kicked the fence one last time as it broke. The fence fell to the ground. Golden trotted out and nuzzled her head against Silver’s head. Silver neighed in happiness. Then he ran down the road with the horses following him. Scare-Face stayed with his hurt master. He yelled after Silver,” I will get my revenge on you, just ait and see!” Silver did not care what Scare-Face said, it was nothing to him. He was happy that golden was free. They went back to the homestead. He neighed and the rest of the heard came. Most said hello to Golden. Then they Galloped back into Corryong and turned off the main road, across the golf course and in to the wild. They ran for ages. Then they came to their home land. The moon shone on the river and everyone was happy. The End

Title: the story of Coral Username: evil_fuzzle2 reason: a story i wrote for my rpc's locket. i am really happy how it came out. to find out more vist the kingdom hearts rp. art: CoralIn the 16th century there is a legend about a mermaid with blue hair and a tail like a dolphin. she was beautiful and she was the daughter of Neptune, god of the sea. her name was Coral. she was told that she would live forever as long as she does not love a human. she kept to the rule for 20 years but on her 21st birthday she swam up to the surface. she saw a large wooden ship sailing near by. on the front of the ship was a handsome man. Coral swam next to the ship for hours, but was very careful not to be seen. she was curious about the man on the ship. he wore a red bandana and a black captains hat. on the main mast above the crows nest they had a flag. it was no ordinary flag but it was the jolly roger, a pirate flag! it was soon to be sunset. she dragged herself on to the edge of the ship. she hung there until it was night. the anchore was dropped and the boat stopped moving. they were all asleep except for the man she had been watching, then that night Coral sang a beautiful song. the man came to the edge of the boat and saw Coral sitting on the edge. he helped her onto the boat. she wore a light purple dress and around her neck she wore a golden heart shapped locket with her name engraved on it. Coral asked him," what is your name?" the man smiled showing some gold teeth," my name is Capatin Grant Sparrow." they looked into each others eyes and made a promise that they would protect each other til the end of their days. but unfortunatly that time came in 6 years. it was a very stormy night and the seas were rough. the ship got rocked back and forth. Coral clung to the boat with her life, she knew her time had come, she was going to die. but she could not let Gark die in the storm. the ship got caught on a reef and many pirates got flung off the ship and into the wild sea, Neptune was angry that his daughter had fallen in love with a human and to make it worse he was a pirate, a thief, a murderour and a scallywag! everyoe on the ship died, except for Gark and Coral. they were flung into the water but Coral dragged him to the surface. she dragged im to some rocks. he coughed and spat out water. she could feel her body dying all around her. her breath grew short and swift. gark pulled a love heart locket out of his pocket. on the front it had engraved Rachel. they had a son named Jack, the sea had pushed him a shore, hoping that he would not take the life of a pirate but he did. Coral let go of the rock and started to sink in the water. Gark jumped in after his love, the locket still in his hand. he opened the locket, it was empty inside. Coral glowed a light blue colour and said," I love you Gark and i will never forget you." she then turned into bubbles. gark caught the bubbles in the locket and then closed it tightly so they could not escape. now she could live on, but unfortunatly he drowned. he dropped the locket into the drak water. Coral's brother King Triton was king of the mer-people. he made a vow that he would name his 8th daughter rachel and she would have the soul of Coral with in her self. King Triton carved a memorial to his sister on the front of the boat and then painted it, but after years of being under the sea the paint slowly came off. that is the story of rachel's locket and of Coral.

Part 1-(2 pages)
We always hear about horror movies where mutant creatures escape from laboratories and prey on the people around them. But what if this mutant was you?
I followed the long corridors to my laboratory. It is here where my master piece is being created. I am one of the top notch scientists at Maraquan Laboratory; we are currently working on a new discovery that will get all of us in the history books. This project is known as Smilodon. I know I could make this project work. We were on the edge of a break through. I found the large doors and pushed them open. Inside were heaps of computers, microscopes, thousands of wires, jars full of liquids stacked on movable racks and thousands of other scientific gadgets. A man in a white lab coat called out,” Doctor Haines! I thought you were home sick today?” I clear my voice and answer,” I am well enough to look through a microscope. Thanks for worrying Bill.” I walked towards Bill and peered over his shoulder at the computer screen,” so hows our project coming?” Bill typed in something and clicked into a file,” Project Smilodon is still a while off. It is very hard to bring back something that has been extinct for 10,000 years. Could you take a look at her for me? I want to see how the clone is coming?” I push a chair out of my way and head towards a large cylinder tank that glows eerily in a green colour. I wipe off some dust and inside is a creature that is curled up in a ball like shape. Wires were dug into its newly formed skin. I peered a little closer, it had slight fur on it face. The fur was a goldish-brown colour. I yelled in delight,” she has fur! Finally she is almost ready.” Bill let out a little laugh,” just because she has fur doesn’t mean she is ready. Look carefully at her teeth. The front incisors haven’t grown bigger than the other teeth. A sabre-tooth tiger must always have large teeth.” I sighed in disappointment,” I really thought our hard work was nearly over….” Bill saved the files and turned off his computer,” I am going home. It is my daughter’s birthday so I have to get there early and help out. Don’t wreck anything while I am gone, ok Nicole?” I grinned and said proudly,” No worries I am not that clumsy!” Bill whispered to himself as he left the room,” please don’t let her wreck everything.” I busied myself checking data and looking at the old bones of sabre-tooth cats from all over the world. Our sabre-tooth is going to be more powerful than any of these cats. Her DNA is fused of the strongest cats that ever lived. But of course she is mostly sabre-tooth. We are not the only organisation that is trying to clone mega fauna. Recently two other scientific laboratories have been destroyed. It was in the newspaper this morning and all over the news. It reported that the two laboratories were researching effects of DNA alterations of reptiles and the evolution of dinosaurs. The cloning of extinct creatures has been rumoured about for 20 years. My father was one of the first to conduct these ‘projects’. When I was 10 he was killed by a green peace organisation. Ever since then I have worked hard to be like my father and follow on in his research. Now I m 31 and have worked on his leftovers for 10 years. It was lucky for me that he kept copies of his work on disks at the house. If I didn’t have these discs I wouldn’t be here now with a clone of a sabre-tooth cat behind me. I swung on the chair and it rolled over to a computer desk. I turned it on and began to record the data from the sabre-tooths progress. When I was almost finished I looked at the time in the corner of the computer screen, it read 11: 59 pm. I stretched my arms,” man is it late.” The cans of coke-acola that I drank earlier lay around the ground like leaves fallen from a tree in autumn. I began to pick them up when I heard a bang out side the room. I dropped the cans and started to run towards the door. I halted when I heard ticking. Then I ducked as fast as I could under a computer desk. The doors blew open with a loud “bang!” I popped my head up to see who had put the bomb on the door. That is when I saw them. At first there was only 1 of them then there were 4 then 10. They wore black coats and wore ski masks on their heads to cover their faces. One yelled,” there she is! That must be the abomination to gods’ earth.” He pointed at the clone in the tank. I screamed out,” get out! Leave now!” That is all I could do. I was terrified. They had guns and bombs. All I have is a couple of close by microscopes. I trembled in fear. The mob ran into the room and began to destroy everything they could. That was it; if they had come to destroy all my research then I must do something. It wasn’t only for me but also my father and Bill that I moved. I had no idea what I was doing, just moving by instinct. To afraid to stop, I ran to the tank to try and protect it from the mob. I stood in front of it with my arms spread wide across. One of the mob members yelled,” get out of the way. We have important business to take care of. We have to destroy that thing behind you!” I called out,” NO! I won’t move. Don’t harm Smilodon, my father, Bill and I have worked to hard to let her be destroyed. Leave now!” Another man pointed his gun,” get out of the way or do we have to kill you like your father!” My eyes widened in terror, these were the people that killed my father and they were going to kill me. The same man yelled,” everyone, lets burn the place. If she won’t let us shoot the thing then we will burn it and her like a witch in medieval times. Let them roast alive with the entire project Smilodon data being burnt to ashes.” They started to tip oil all over the computers and room. I just stood there and watched in pure shock. The man let out an evil laugh,” muhahaha, I couldn’t have planed this better. We killed your partner and now we can kill you without even firing a bullet. So what if we wasted a bomb to blow up a door. It will be a lot more fun to watch you struggle for your life in the pits of hell. So choose…your life or your life’s work?” The oil had been spilt everywhere so the organisation was retreating. The ma with the gun kept pointing it at. When he was at the door he called,” only god should have the power to bring things back from the dead!” And with that he shot a bullet to wards me. It zoomed towards me but missed me only by centre metres. Instead of hitting me it hit the glass tank behind me. The glass shattered and broke into pieces. I screamed out, “NOOOOOOOOOO!!!” The glass rained down on me and pierced me arms and legs. The water in the tank spilled out and the sabre-tooth cat’s wires began to snap. It slowly fell down on top of Kelly. The liquid and blood from the creature saturated my clothes.

Part 2- (pages 3 & 4 1/2)
Its weight made me go unconscious because the next thing that I realise is happening is that, I smell smoke. Lots of it. I could feel the fire licking at my feet. I heaved the dead clone off me. My eyes were blurry from smoke and I was coughing. I crouched low to the ground. He smoke was so thick that I couldn’t see anything but flames and burning science equipment. That is when I smelt it. A faint trail of something familiar. I decided to go for it. I got up and bounded off towards the scent. The fires heat was unbearable that I had to keep moving or I would be burnt to a crisp. The smell was thicker now and it seamed closer. It was a strange smell yet it seemed familiar. As I got closer to where the smell originated from something made my hairs stand on end. I stopped, what was this smell, it was like…..blood. I crept closer, step by step. Then there it was. The smell was as thick as the smoke. I gasped in horror,” Ahhhhh!!!! Bill!” Bill lay on the ground, his blood splattered across the floor and walls. The life from his eyes had disappeared. I dropped to my knees. How could this be happening, first my life’s work was destroyed, then the clone and now Bill! The tears steamed from my eyes. But the fire dried the tears up before they hit the ground. I coughed again. My senses had been turned off in confusion and panic. My mind was telling me to run but my body wanted to stay with Bill. Eventually my mind took over and my body slowly moved away from Bill’s lifeless body. The fire had spread right through the entire place. Then I could smell something again. How am I smelling all these things? I decided to follow this scent. It was a fresh and nice smell, like some kind of flower. It leads me to the main entrance. I ran out of the building gasping for clean air. I could hear fire truck sirens ringing not far away. I fell to my knees once again taking in long breaths. I looked down and saw a patch of lavender flowers. I look behind me at the burning building. The flames were reaching out of the windows like hands trying to grasp something to survive on. Parts of the building were collapsing. I looked around, I could hear the fire truck but where was it. I looked at my heels. The fire had burnt my heels lightly but not enough to worry about. The white long dustcoat was no longer white and it has been burnt black in areas. Luckily it had not caught on fire. Finally I saw the fire trucks racing down the road towards the now destroyed laboratories. I got up and ran. The noise from the fire trucks was ringing in my ears. It was so loud that I had to run to getaway from the irritating sound. When the sound was like a whistle on the wind I stopped. I looked around. Because the lab was out of town there were bushlands all around. I saw the smoke floating away from the building. It was like a black cotton ball on the horizon. Had I really run that far, in such a short time? My head hurt from all the smoke and all the cuts on my body stung as the wind blew past. I went through the scrub. I knew that Bill had a holiday house near here for winter holidays. Not that we had many holidays. I found the single dirt road that lead towards the house. I followed it for about 5 minutes. Finally I came to an old cottage built out of timber. Out the front was a small concrete slab for a car park and a tiny garden that was over grown with weeds and thorns. I lumbered up the steps and lifted u the mat. The keys sat there covered in dust and dirt. I picked them up and dropped the mat back into place. I pushed the keys in and turned the lock. The door swung open with a loud creek. The room was filled with homely items like t table fitted with 3 chairs, a small kitchen with jugs and a sink. A 1 metre tall fridge sat diagonal to the oven. Off to the left was a bedroom with one single bed and one double bed. In the bedroom was also an unsuit. The unsuit consisted of a shower, sink, toilet, mirror, window and a cupboard filled with medical supplies and toothpaste. I raided the cupboard for bacteria eating medics, bandages and Panadol. I pulled off the dust coat and saw that along my arms blood had trickled down from the gashes on my shoulder and arm. I addressed the wound and bandaged it up. Next were the rest of my wounds. I looked in the mirror to see where the bandaid should go on my forehead. The mirror was covered in dust so I whipped the dust off. I screamed when I saw what was in the mirrors reflection. I saw small blackish-brown ears, mattered hair, cuts all over my face and whiskers producing themselves off my cheeks. On my left side of my face grew light brown fur. I felt my face. The fur was soft like a puppy’s coat; I tried to pull the whiskers off but they were stuck on. The ears twitched when I heard something scatter across the floor. I was terrified. What happened to me? I am a mutant. Than I saw something distinct about the ears. They weren’t pointed like a domestic cats’ ear, but more rounded like lions/tigers ear. I had seen them before but where? I stuck a white cottony patch over my left eye. A scar was going to form over my eye because bacteria had gotten in from the broken glass and it was deep. I walked out of the unsuit and saw near the single bed was a cupboard filled with books. I ran my finger along the spines of the books. There were books on fairytales, fiction books, non-fiction books and books on extinct animals. I pulled out the one that said “big cats.” I flicked through the book. None of the ears matched my weird ears. One of them was close but my ears had light brown/grey fur in side. Then it hit me, if it wasn’t in here then I must be dead. I threw the big cat book on to the bed behind me and reached out and pulled the extinct book down, it was called” walking with beasts.” I searched through it until I came upon the Smilodon section. It had a large picture of a sabre-tooth cat and its cub. The ear was the exact same as mine. I ran my finger along one of the smaller cuts. The blood had dried up and was creating a scab. Had my blood mixed with the clone? ”Does that mean I am part Sabre-tooth cat!” This was unbelievable; I was the first human ever to make contact with a sabre-tooth cat. But then I gasped,” They will lock me away and do experiments on me if anyone finds out!” I felt a lump underneath me. I sat up and saw a short leopard printed tail. “Oh no! No, no this too! Now it is going to be impossible to hide the fact that I am a mutant. A-a-an experiment gone horribly wrong!”
