=__ The Blue Thorn-Narrative writing __=

====** The blue thorn slowly climbed the steep hill to meet her vicious enemy. The howling wind blew her bright red hair into her shining green eyes. She finally reached the top to meet the evil, glowering thief. The thief smiled gruesomely and his teeth glittered with red jewels. She unsheathed her blue sword and the thief pulled out his deadly knives. They fought for several minutes finding that they had met their match. Blue thorn stepped backwards for a moment and then quickly shot him in the chest with a blue arrow. The thief fell heavily to the ground, groaning in pain. Blue thorn picked the short thief up without any difficulty and then tossed him into the dark, shadowy sea where they could find him. The thief was dangerous and cunning. He was not going to jail but instead to a more suitable place for a thief so dangerous. He was going to the station to have his rare powers removed and then he would go to jail. **====

====** She smiled as she shot a red arrow into the darkening sky. Then she tiredly sat down onto the luscious green grass and put her freezing blue hands onto her icy cold cheeks. Her breath came out in misty clouds that floated away into the sky. She sheathed her shining sword into her blue scabbard. She sighed as she thought of returning to her wonderful home in the sparkling sea. The night was silent as she waited for the signal yet dreams still threatened to take her back to her horrifying past. She shook her head and tried to focus on staying awake. The signal finally arrived after her long wait and Blue thorn stood to watch. She removed her battle boots and carefully placed her high heels on her small feet. Then she grabbed her one of her green arrows and shot it into the air. Immediately the spectacular blue and green fireworks crackled in the sky. There was more work to be done. **====

====** Racing through the water at the speed of light, Blue thorn grinned with her white teeth sharpened to a deadly point. She was on her way back to Rosemary which was a small town. Even though the town was small there were still many criminals who were in hiding but most lived on the edge of town. She smiled at the thought of some action. She had been sat in her room for nearly three weeks. She wished that she could have free time like the others. Blue thorn wanted to relish the small amount of time she had in the sea. **==== ====** “Who’s there?” a voice cried loudly. Startled she stopped and examined her surroundings. There was red and green coral floating around while also resting at the bottom of the water. There was a ruined boat sat on a grey rock. When she saw a shadow she fumbled with a blue arrow until she heard the familiar click. Her black bow had been an eighth birthday present. She had made arrows for it herself in different colours. They were blood red, pitch black, sea green, bright blue, mustard yellow and mysterious purple. Feeling memories threaten her she focused on the strange voice. She slowly swam forwards with her bow pointed at the shadow. **====

** “No, it’s not but who are you?” she asked simply. **
====** “I will not name myself as you will not name yourself. You do not understand why though do you? It is purely instinct. Leave the water quickly before you are transformed” he whispered before vanishing again. Blue thorn quickly set off again pondering what the old man meant. **====

====** She reached the surface in a bad mood. She understood now what he meant. They would not let her leave to find out about her past, to learn more about herself. She glanced up from the murky water and saw the rubble of the bank. She quickly pulled herself out of the water. She ran towards the remains of the bank, forgetting to dry herself off. She heard the thieves before she saw them. She shot two in the chest with yellow arrows and by then they had noticed her. She hung her bow on her back and pulled out her sword. She injured three more and then only one was left. She fought viciously but she was being pushed backwards towards the water. She tried to push him back but it was impossible. Then she fell back into the water and the last thing she saw was the sniggering face. She landed into an underwater meadow. She suddenly felt a change in herself. She began to weep as she knew that she could never return to land as she was a rainbow fish. Then she smiled cheerfully as she realized that she had the entire ocean to explore and have adventures in. She laughed and disappeared into the murky depths. **====

THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCES By Lauryn and Kiara

The rays of sunlight peeped through the clouds on a warm summer day. On Sunshine Beach, people were relaxing on the golden sand. The waves lapped at the rocky shore and children plunged into the sea. Seagulls screeched at each other, greedily snatching food. As the long day was coming to an end, parents were calling to their children to go home. The once crowded beach got more and more deserted, until only one parent was left, calling to her son. “Bob!” she yelled, getting more anxious every minute. The only response was the quiet rise and fall of the waves.

It was stormy that night, and a shadow could be seen running through the rain. The shadow was pitch black in the darkening sky. The dark figure reached a door and ran into its protective shelter. The shadow belonged to a man who was a dentist - he had been waiting all day for his wife to come in for her appointment. He had come home to ask her why she hadn’t attended it. “Barbara! Why didn’t you come for your appointment today?” he shouted. The house remained silent. “Barbara, are you okay?” he asked anxiously. “Barbara? Barbara? BARBARA!” There was still no answer. He ran to the phone to call the police. The phone line had been cut.

The tall woman strode into the living room, hungry and exhausted. “I’m home!” she murmured, before flopping onto the sofa. “I bought takeaways for dinner. Come eat while it’s hot!” she called out. The only sound was the humming of the refrigerator. The woman got to her feet and advanced up the stairs. She peeked through the narrow doorway of the bedroom. Empty. She searched the other room. There was no sign of her children. “Betty! Billy?” She hurried outside and surveyed the garden, to no avail. “Betty? Billy!”

Moodiness was brewing on Lunatic Road. The dark building of the mental facility was having a bad day. Well, the people who work there were having a very bad day, especially one woman. First, someone threw up on her. Secondly, she slipped over in a puddle - and the list carries on. She checked her list to see who she had to check on. It was Mr Icantstoptalking (that wasn’t his real name but everyone called him that - they couldn’t remember his real name as he had been there for so long). She entered his room, but he wasn’t there. She asked his best friend, Mr Blabbermouth, if he had seen him, but he just shook his head. She spoke into the speaker. Her magnified voice filled the building: “If anyone knows where Mr Icantstoptalking is, please come to the reception now.” Mr Colby turned around and said, “He has disappeared.”

The short, plump teen marched onto the school grounds. For some peculiar reason, it was empty. The children must’ve gone home already, she muttered to herself, thinking nothing of it. “Patricia! Sally!” she murmured. No response. She sighed and trudged over to the office. The receptionist sat behind the desk. She was a thin woman with brunette hair. She wore glasses and her hair was tied back in a bun. She looked quite tired, but she was concentrating so hard on her work that she didn’t notice the teen entering. “Excuse me ma’am. I’m Geraldine. I’ve come for me lil sisters, Patricia ‘n Sally. Have ya seen ‘em?” The lady glanced up and sighed. “I thought they went home already. They are not here.” Geraldine frowned. “Ya mean they aint in the school? They have to be ‘ere somewhere, Miss.” “They aren’t here.”

The local police station was very busy that night. It was full of panicking citizens who’s family or friends were missing. There was a teen who’s two sisters were missing, two mothers were missing their children, a husband was missing his wife, a patient from the mental hospital was missing and more were yet to be heard of. Sheriff Yewsless and Officer Werthlis were trying to calm the frenzy before it got out of hand. Finally when things were starting to calm down Inspector Intelligence walked in alongside Sergeant Hellplyss. They were amazed at the amount of people missing. Sheriff Yewsless sighed and walked over to the shocked police. “Thank you for coming down tonight. Its a strange one, I'm telling you there's a storm brewing and its only gonna get worse if people don’t stop disappearing!” Sheriff Yewsless yelled. They stared at him and then nodded. Sergeant Hellplyss shouted “I think we may need the Detective.”

Detective Growler scanned the area.
