My stories

The Secret Box

"Athena, what's going on?" I knew who it was before I could even turn around. It was the exact same British accent that my butler had. "J-J-John!? I-" I started before he cut me off. "What are you doing here? Your dad's orders, go to your room." I was about to argue but he held me with his strong hands and dragged me off to my room locking me there.

I tried opening the door but I could feel that a huge bodyguard was standing in the way. I ended up storming out my room an hour later with the guard sleeping. I sneaked off into my secret room where I had private time to myself. But then, I saw a sparkling object out of the corner of my eye that I had never seen before. Desperately, I immediantly ran to it with curiosity.

'A chest!' I wanted to scream. The chest was red and gold, and had lions on all sides. I reached forwards to touch the mesmerising chest but a booming voice stopped me in my tracks. 'Little girl, little girl, come to me my sweetie!' I felt a hot breath down my neck, and a fat hand on my shoulder. I didn't turn around, I just stood there in silence like I was a statue. Then he spoke in his same demon-ly voice again 'did you touch MY treasure?' I gulped and shook my head ever-so slightly. Then I heard the man fiddling with some chemicals, and the world around me thinned into blackness.

The cold air blew and I could feel my eyes slowly open. 'EEEEEEEEEEEEEK' I screamed noticing a fiery red eyeball staring into my soul. A gruff voice then errupted the room 'I will keep you hostage until your father gives me all his gold, and until I forgive you for touching my treasure,' then he showed a slight smile, 'and maybe if you agree to marry me.' Inside my head I was full with rage and ready to expolde, but I had to keep my cool otherwise I would be trapped with- who even was he? I looked him up and down and realised that he had his name tatooed onto his arm. "Jordan", it read.

I looked him up and down, I guess his name fit him. He was big, muscular, looked like one of my body guards. He also had massive amounts of hair in different places. I even kind of felt sorry that he had to look like that.

'Tff, tff, tff' the sound of shuffling feet echoed around the small dark room. Jordan was gone! I sat up slowly trying not to cause any sound that will echo. As I looked up, I saw a mysteriously creepy shadow lowering down into my hair. While my eyes were adjusting to the light, I tryed to creep away from the corner, but found out I was handcuffed firm to the wall! Hairy legs crawled across my face, I tried to scream for help but the only sound I could make was a tiny squeak. I retried twice more but nothing more came. Then, I felt a bit light-headed and past out into the dark and cold.

*Athena could make out her mum in the misty night. She wasn't working or busy with her friends. She was just sitting there, looking around depressed and sad. Like she lost something, or she was lost herself. Athena's mum then started speaking... in riddles... 'I have nothing else to live for, I can't go on'. Then, a gunshot.*

Sweating, I realised I wasn't in the same room as I was previously. I was next to the campfire in an empty steel room. The room was small and it looked like a jail cell. An aroma then hit my nose, 'n-no' I heard a voice cry out. 'NO!' Dad? I stood up and shook myself out of the blanket that was lying neatly on top of me. Waiting for the noises to come, a light flickered quickly but silently in another room, making me shiver nervously. Next, banging was heard from all directions and honestly, I felt like killing myself. What was this feeling? Then I remembered the aroma that I smelt earlier. Oh, no. 'Help-'

Athena was lost. She's stuck under a spell. Yet she doesn't know. Your probarbly wondering who set it? Or maybe, how will she get free? Well your answers are unravelling now to this very moment.

Johnny yawned trying to keep himself awake until it was time. Only two more minutes. He could do it! Johnny's eyelids heaved down to close but he was strong. 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH' he yelled. Almost there!

A strong wind gushed in as Johnny's watch began to tick louder. It was time. All of the children around the world were sleeping. Not a sound was heard at any house. Except one house was the exact opposite. Workers were making and people were chatting. As for Johnny, he couldn't keep it together, again! You see Johnny is a boy but not just any ordinary boy, he was the chosen boy. Okay I think you'll have to sit down for this one...

Over 20,000 years ago the sun chose someone to someday rule the elf kindom and told the elves by handing them a picture. But this wasn't like anything before, they had chosen a human. Everyone trusted the sun even though they were quite dissappointed but only one elf stood his ground, Trevor. Trevor was a powerful sorcerous but thought it wasn't enough. He wanted to change the ruler so that he could be the one to boss everyone about and take over the land. So that night when everything was quiet, Trevor snuck through the guards and took the picture. He was never caught or seen again until, it was his time to strike. Trevor burned the picture that was cast from the sun and he took out his staff to make one of hisself. Back at the elf kingdom he replaced the old picture but was caught by the guard on the way out. He was sent to prison and the sun had to present a new ruler, but becasue of what Trevor did the chosen one would appear 20,000 years late. You might want to know what happened to Trevor, but that's something you'll need to figure out yourself.

'Wake up you lazy piece of something!' yelled a voice from down the hall. Johnny didn't move a muscle, in fact he didnt even hear a sound. 'Johnny!' this time it was his best friend July, they've been friends since they were born becasue their mums had birth at the same time in the same room. July shook Johnny's shoulder but he remained sleeping. Then an idea rang in her head. 

Johhny's eye flew open. Was it just him or could he smell something awfully familiar. Cookies!
