Adventure story by Bethany

Using Serena's up levelled action opening

As the fuel gauge reached empty, Adam Lyons started to feel edgy. the passengers knew something was wrong.
CRASH!!! The plane thudded onto an island full of green, with a serene atmosphere. At this point, Adam Lyons knew there was no way out of this green world.
A few hours later, as the sun reached the highest point in the sky, Adam took in a deep breath of fresh air. Alarming and disturbing thoughts drifted around Adam's brain, like a fly sttracted to bright lights.
How was he supposed to defend himself without weapons? Where would he find materials to make a shelter? Where was he supposed to find food? Hopefully his questions would be answered soon.

Luckily, when he was younger, Adam was a very talented cub scout and had many medals, badges and certificates for nearly everything. Including: medical aid, navigation, camping and many more!
But this didn't answer the most important question of all - whne was he going to get off this god-foresaken island?

Adam had no idea what materials he could find to make a shelter, he was still apprehensive about wondering through this green world. As for finding food, Adam was very cautious about what lurked behind a corner, and he also had no weapons to kill pure meat. Adam had always taken getting food from the supermarket for granted but now he realised how hard it really was to survive.

The Giant's Necklace by Bethany

Narrative Writing For The Giant’s Necklace


As the beaming sun reached the midway point in the sky, Cherry’s mother and father couldn’t stand the heat any longer, and finally made their way back to the to the winding path, that led back up to the cottage.
“Boy’s, me and your father are going to tidy up the cottage ,be home well before dark and LOOK AFTER Cherry,” their mother instructed them, while she brushed sand off of the deck chairs. But the boys were so engrossed in what they were doing all sound was lost by excitement.

After a short period of time, the four boys began to get bored of finding sea weed and stones, instead of crabs, so as their mother and father had done Previously, they made their way up to the winding path that led to the cottage. But Cherry was so quiet collecting her shells, the boys hadn’t noticed they had left her behind.

About three and a half hours later Cherry’s mother had called everyone for tea. As soon as Cherry’s mother, father and the four brothers had sat down she called,
“Cherry tea’s ready”
There was silence
“Cherry come on now, stop playing games!”
But there was still silence, Cherry’s mother’s head turned to the boys,
“Where’s Cherry?” Their mother asked almost in a whisper. One of the boys plucked up the courage to speak.
“We might have left her on her on the beach.”
“WHAT” half shouting half screaming their mother replied.
“She’s only eleven! And you left her on her own?”
“Sorry mum, we’ll go straight back and get her home!”
“She’d better be safe!” Threatened her mum.

The Giant’s Necklace – play script by Ashleigh

A cave in an old tin mine, a girl and two men talk. Cherry is on her feet backing away.

Young man: No need to be afeared! (holding his hand out towards her) We won’t hurt you. (staring at the fire) Not now!

(Cherry moves closer)

Young man: It’ll be alright we will help you.

Cherry: But I want to go home! (feeling the panic rising in her voice and trying to control it)

Cherry: I know you are kind but I want to go home! (kindly) My mother will be worried about me! They will be looking for me.

Young man: Yes it is only natural that you should want to see them.

Cherry: Your light saved my life and I want to thank you! (walking around) But I must go back or they’ll worry themselves sick.

Cherry was looking at her necklace at the table wearing her dressing gown.

Cherry: There’s still the sea in them (talking to no one in particular) you can still smell it.

Mum: You’ve only got today (putting her arm around Cherry) we’re off back home tomorrow, first thing. Why don’t you call it a day dear? It’s long enough
already!

Cherry (shaking her head): No, only that little bit left, then it’ll be finished.

Mum (weakly): They’ll take hours to collect dear.

Cherry: Only a few hours (bending over, brows furrowed).

Mum(desperately):Isn’t it long enough, Cherry?

Cherry: No, it is going to reach the toaster!

Mum (turning away so she can continue her drying up) Well, I can’t spend all day on the beach today, Cherry!
