Lost (By Ethan & Nick)

The last thing George remembered was feeling the breeze speed up as the train plummeted towards the dark oak forest. Then he blacked out.

George woke with a sharp pain in his left leg, “AH!” he screamed, a huge block of wood had collided into his ankle, blunt pieces of wood shot out through his soft skin, blood oozed from the wound, “Help me!” he screamed thinking he was alone, then he heard a rustle and the sound of heavy breathing, another person stood bruised and battered “hello?” the strange figure responded. “Over here!” George screamed.

The stranger didn’t know what to do, he took a step back and glanced at George. Then, he leaped forwards and grabbed the plank of wood that was in George’s leg and tore at it. then it came loose and George could get up. The stranger grabbed his arm and put him over his shoulder and sat George up against a tree “see if there’s any more people that made it” said George while taking sharp quick breaths. “The name’s Peter” said the stranger.

Peter walks for a while checking for survivors “Help!” he hears someone scream, He jumps and steps over to find two people hoisting someone from the wreckage “Crap!” one says as the body tumbles out impaled with a big hunk of metal, “what the f#$%” “Run!” one screams as a another part of the train drops from the bridge and crashes into a man crushing him and into woman’s leg “AHH!” she whales pinned to the soil “what should we do?” says Peter “ we have to leave her” says the driver who says his name is Nathan “No way!” shouts Peter cross “Please don’t leave me” mumbles the woman “Fine.” say’s Nathan. “We have to cut her leg off.” says peter “Three, two one Go!” “AHH!” the woman screams as the knife slices her leg off, they drag her back to where George was lying, DEAD.

Disappear (QUICK WRITE)

The old train gushed through the overgrown swamp, somehow staying afloat, It’s once rich gold exterior had now become a dull greyish green. It emerged from the depths of a cosy house, positioned on a mountain top, the mist blocked out almost all of the sunshine and the humidity here was astonishing. Above the train was a watcher, It made sure the train reached it’s destination in time. The mist closed in and thickened the sky, The train lost control and went swerving of to the side,

Never to be seen again.

Nick & Troy go to war 3 (ft lasers)

We wait, Nick, Troy and our new friend, Ethan. Were about to invade the battlefield, sweat pours down Troy’s face, this was the toughest mission yet. “So uh what exactly do you do here?” asks Ethan “Be Quiet! i'm under a lot of pressure!” Troy shout’s.

“Ok boys you're up next.” say’s a boring adult “remember not to die like last time” Nick say’s, “Got it.” Ethan and Troy both say.

“Ok, we can do this.” says troy through fretted breaths, We rush down the long corridor leading into the battlefield our laser guns ready in our hands. We run in with our guns blazing into the enemy soldiers. Nick goes up into small compartment unit and signals us to follow him in. Troy and Ethan suddenly get lost through all the chaos.

“Up here guys!” Nick shouts leading them in. “What do we do?” Ethan asks “There’s too many of them!” Nick continues “We need to stick together and ambush them.” Troy says “Ok” Ethan and Nick both reply. “Three, two, one GO!”, we leap out firing lasers in all directions hoping to strike someone. We hear cry’s of collapsed soldiers stuck by the hot lasers “Run!” Ethan screams dodging rival lasers. We run over to a thick block for shelter, “What now!?” we all yell.

“We should go back to base for cover” Ethan suggests. Troy suddenly hears something BOOM!! went a huge barrel of fuel, “GET DOWN NOW!!” Cries Troy. Troy run’s to the left while Ethan and Nick sprint to the right. Nick storm’s upstairs to the unit from before to help Troy up. Ethan goes down to try and keep the enemy at bay.

“We got company!” Scream’s Ethan before being struck in the chest “AHHHHHHHHH!” he shouts tumbling down like roadkill “Not again!” Troy says “I thought I told you not to die!” Nick shouts annoyed “I can’t help it man! This kind of thing happens every time, I thought it would be rather fitting!” shouts Ethan, “well were getting kind of bored of the bad death scenes!” screams Nick and Troy, “I’m going home” mumbles Ethan walking away.

“Well there goes our new friend!” says Nick “Yeah, we're really bad at keeping friends” replies Troy. we hear a voice “Freeze, don’t move!” “It’s an enemy soldier!” cry’s Troy “Blam!” goes a laser before whacking into Nick’s bum “OWEE!” screams Nick running of crying. “You're next scream’s the soldier, “Oh No!” cry’s Troy in fear.

Then out of nowhere Ethan appears and fires a laser right into the soldier's arm, he jolts back in pain “YOWZA!” the soldier screams falling to the ground “Ethan, you came back!” shouts Troy in delight. “Yeah well my mum wasn’t back yet so I didn’t really have an option.” says Ethan “oh” Troy replies “What happened to Nick?” Ethan asks “some egg head, shot him in the bumhole.” say’s Troy. “Ouch, that would hurt” continues Ethan “Ok kiddies round’s over says a boring adult “Aw!” Troy and Ethan both say.

"Water" (QUICK WRITE)

WALT: use descriptive language

The sky softened as the first glimpses of winter crept through. The glow of the bonfire lit up

Frank’s face, his shaggy grey beard swayed in the morning wind like a thousand kite’s. His travels were almost concluded and his village would soon be saved, he trudged through the scorched wasteland in search for the scarce source called “water” just as Frank felt death upon his shoulders, he saw a quick flowing stream, “Were saved!” he screamed in joy.

Nick & Troy go to war 2 (ft paintballs)

We walk into the dusty rustic battlefield, we plant our feet on the ridged dirt “Dude I bet we look so OP right now!” Nick says excitedly “Yeah, course we do” Troy replies calmly “Ok kiddies so you wanna hold your gun like this..” says a boring adult “Team?” we both say at the same time, we walk in the battlefield, guns gripped firmly in our hands “can we get some water, cause it’s gonna get hot!” Troy says cooly.

When the other team strides in we glare into there eyes. We’re in the arena, “this reminds me of the hunger games” Troy says to himself “Got that right” Nick recites. “Three, two, one GO!” Troy and Nick run out into the forest for some cover we go down into a loot tower to get some supplies. “We got company!” shouts Nick over the sound of Troy getting supplies.

Paintballs zip past barely missing us “Get down!” Troy screeches as a bullet flies past him.

We quickly shove the supplies in our bags and make a risky run for cover by some pine trees. “Do you think they saw us?” Nick says nervous, “OBVIOUSLY!” Troy replies. we retreat into a dune “you got the supplies?” Nick says “I thought you had them” Troy whispers “really! now we have no bullets!” Nick shouts angry “just joking it's on the floor behind me”

Troy replies, “not funny” mumbles Nick.

We soon go out into the battlefield, running through hundreds of bodies each covered in a thick coat of paint. “Whoa! Look at all those bodies!” Troy says scared “Dude they’re pretty good actors” Nick says “Seriously, you ruined the really deep dramatic death sequence!” one shouts angrily “I’m going home!” another one says, “Jeez what’s their problem?” asks Troy

“I have no idea- SMACK!” a paintball jams into Troy's face, he hurtles down the hill in pain. “No!” Nick screams running down, “Don’t die on me!” Nick shouts “I-It's ok, just t-tell my fa-family I wanted another cupcake for dessert” “No!” Nick screams as Troy rolls on his side dead “Why!” Nick crys “Ok what’s the problem?” says a boring adult “WHY DOES EVERYONE RUIN THE DEATH SCENE!” We both scream.

"We've done it!" I cried
