AVENGERS: REVENGE OF THE OUTRIDERS
By Aditya Krishna Vakkayil
III C

My story begins after the end of Avengers: Endgame, the
movie. It tells the story of a team of mighty superheroes
named the Avengers. The Avengers protected Earth from
threats big and small. Just a few weeks ago they defeated their
strongest villain yet. His name was Thanos. Thanos led an
army called the Black Order formed by him and The Outriders.
The Outriders are an alien species that come in different
looks. They were created by Thanos using his and Chitauri
DNA and samples of the worlds he conquered to create the
Outriders. The Chitauri are a race of shapeshifting aliens who
have attempted to conquer the Earth before.

When Avengers defeated Thanos’s army, not all of them were killed. Some Outriders survived
including the Chitauri Leviathans. Leviathans are colossal beasts used as weapons and troop
transports during the invasion of Earth by the Chitauri. Not long after the Avengers found out about
this surviving army of Outriders they are attacked. This leads to a battle between the Outriders
army and the Avengers.
During the battle one of the Chitauri Leviathan smashes Hulk into the ground as revenge after he
crashed the Leviathan into a building. Hulk then smashes an Outrider in the face and throws the
Outrider at another Outrider and knocks them both out. He then lures the Chitauri Leviathans to
Ant-man to handle. While that was happening Captain America got on the main ship of the
Outriders army and fought a few Outriders. One of them swept Captain America off his feet but
then he gets back up on his feet again and punches the Outrider in his face. The Outrider falls down
and knocks the rest of them down with him. Then Captain America sets the Outrider’s ship to blow
up and takes an escape pod before the ship blows up. Captain Marvel shoots an Outrider’s jet and
it blows up. More help arrives for the Avengers when the Quinjet arrives and shoots an Outrider
down. Later Ant-Man defeats the last of the Chitauri Leviathans and the Outrider army gets smaller
until they all are dead. Black Widow returns from the dead and kills the last surviving Outrider.
The Avengers finally win the battle with the Outrider army to bring back peace on the Earth.

By Arisha Adeeb

There was once a family that aged in reverse! The
oldest member looked like a baby and sounded like
one, she was actually 87 years old. There were 5
members in that family Lilly the toddler who looked
87 years old, George the teenager who looked like
a parent, Margret the mother who looked like a
teenager, Harry the father who looked like a
toddler and Rebecka the grandma who looked like
a baby. One day Margret’s sister called and said “I
am traveling so can you please take care of my daughter for a month” Please hold said Margret,
she rushed downstairs and yelled “My sister asked us to take care of her daughter!” They all were
shocked and stayed silent for a few seconds the finally, George said “for how long” “for a month!”
said Margret then continued I can't say no she’s my sister so we all have to act like how we look,
okay? Everyone said that’s going to be super-duper hard to do but we’ll try. Thank you, said
Margret, as she returned to the phone her sister thought, “Why is Margret taking so long?”

Then finally, Margret returned and said “yes we surely can look after your daughter what’s her
name?” she said. “Leah” said Margret’s sister “Okay we will take care of Leah” said Margret with
a nervous laugh. The next week Leah arrived and she didn’t know anything about that family.
When she reached the airport George and Lilly picked her, while they looked like adults, but they
were only kids so they didn’t know how to drive, so they booked a taxi and used the money their
parents gave them for paying the taxi driver. On the way Lilly tried to sneak a chocolate piece into
her mouth, but George caught her and said “Hey what did you just eat!” “Nothing!” Lilly replied
“I know, you ate chocolate” said George and they both started arguing Leah thought to herself
“Why are my aunt and uncle acting like this” then George and Lilly realized what they're doing and
said “that was a play we made for you did you like it?” in relief Leah said “oh, that was really nice!”

When they reached home, it was lunchtime, so George had to make lunch, because he looked like
a parent. But he only knew how to make sandwiches and cake so he said, “I am making peanut
butter and jam sandwiches” But Leah was allergic to peanuts so, she said “sorry but I am allergic
to peanuts” So, George said “no need to be sorry, anyway I was going to try this chicken biryani
from a YouTube recipe, I could make that” I love chicken biriyani” Leah said, “Good to know” said
George so, he opened his phone and started to cook. Once it was ready, he served it and Leah said
she loved it but it needed a bit more salt so, George went to get it he got confused by salt and
sugar. So he got the sugar instead, and when Leah took a bite and it was tasting bad, so she said

By Aviral Rathi

III C

Once there was a boy named Aviral, he was poor
and he lived in farm in small village of Santa Marta.
All he had was a cow and a hen and he used to stay
with them in cow shed. He used to sell the milk and
egg from cow and hen to live his life. Still he was
kind and happy boy and he dreamt of become a
warrior. He made himself a wooden sword and liked
playing with it.

One day in the morning when he woke up, he saw
his wooden sword was shining bright and he
realized it was no more wooden sword, it was a sharp shiny iron sword. He was surprised, he
thought he is still dreaming. That is when he noticed a button on the cow head, he carefully went
near it and with lots of courage tried to touch the button.

Ahhhh!

He found himself floating in the air round and round and he landed in a huge temple. He was
scared. He got up to see around, there was no one.

“Hello, anybody there? Asked Aviral.

“Come here,” said a voice

Aviral got scared, but he started moving in the direction of the voice.

Who are you? Where are you? Asked Aviral.

He realized, he is still carrying his sword, he raised it to defend himself. At the end of the passage,
he saw a shiny yellow stone and above it was a huge green monster.

He slowly moved towards the monster keeping his sword in front, they both had a fight. Thanks
to his practice with wooden sword, he fought well with the monster and killed him with his special
move.

He picked up the stone and again he teleported back to his cow shed.

He saw a boy standing in his shed.

Who are you and what are you doing in my shed? Asked Aviral

I am Mike and I am here to find you, said the boy.
Why? Asked Aviral

Mike said, “I am part of Jade Blaze, we are protector of the Jades the special stones. Few years
back, Rago the monster killed most of the protectors and hide all the jades around the world.
From that time I am searching for the Jades and Jade warriors. My compass brought me here.”
“Is this a Jade?” Aviral pulled out the stone from his pocket to show to Mike.
“Yes, Yes it is the one,” said Mike happily.
“Will you join Jade Blaze and protect the Jades, once we find all Jades and Jade warriors we will
defeat Rago and save the world,” asked Mike
Aviral was delighted, he always wanted to be a warrior and wanted to save the world.
He immediately accepted Mike’s offer.
Suddenly the compass in hand of Mike started making some noise.
Mike said, “It seems another warrior is nearby, will you come with me?”
“Yes Mike, lets go,” said Aviral holding his Sword in his hand.

quick brush and shower followed by breakfast. Once done he hops out for a fresh breath of air.
Pule loved butterflies and most he loved is to follow them with his arms spread in air. His mornings
pass by following them to meadows with a pack of cheese bread in his cross-bag. There in the lovely
meadows he likes playing hide and seek with the mammoths. As the game lasts for couple of hours
Pule feels hungry and sits on the meadows viewing the wonderful mountains and the beautiful
village in the valley. Treating his eye, he bites in the sandwich. Looking at the clouds floating in the
sky he rests his back on the meadows and naps.

After the quick nap he rushes to his secret tree house
in the woods to spend his evening. This tree house is
the place where he hides his treasure.
As the sun sets its time for Pule to run down home in
time, so that mother won’t be worried. Pule rushes
down to reach home before the bright moon shines
with the twinkling stars, up in the sky.

Quick quick…

“Wake up Pule it’s late for your virtual school”, tells mamma. With a pleasant feeling, Pule woke up
and spent his day happily, explaining his dream with his parents and friends.

ANTIE AND THE SAILOR BOAT
By Hannah Williams
III C

Once upon a time, there was an ant called Antie and she
loved the seas and oceans. One day she was out for an
evening walk, when one of the land giants picked her up
on a leaf! Antie tried so many times to get off but they
kept getting her. And soon they put her on what the land
giants call a pool, but when she saw the water she was
extremely happy! There was a water pool and a place with
shelter and there was a lovely stick above the water for
her tricks!

She had set sail on the sea, the waves pushed her forward and she saw lots of fish, but that’s when
it hit her: she wouldn’t have anything to eat! But thankfully the land giant sent food her way. She
was taking a peaceful nap when something shook the boat, she got up and looked at what shook
the boat, and she was terrified: it was a shark! She managed to get away from the shark by using
an oar to push the shark and row away. She was sailing a round of the sea, and she was halfway
there! On the second day, she had some fun at the stick, but she saw something and was terrified:
It was a land giant and it was cleaning its pool! She skillfully dodged the net and next she took rest
in the shelter. But she was sure that many difficulties would come. That night there was a terrible
storm that shook the boat like a super-fast and scary swing! Antie managed to stay dry and sleep
happily, but it was a terrible storm.

The next day she was almost there! But when she was playing on her stick, she thought about her
family who would be so worried, but then she thought about the adventure of her life and she
decided to just continue her journey. That day she met an octopus and just steered the boat around
it, but then she came across something that terrified her again: It was a kraken! She had to fight it,
so it was good that she had kraken fighting training when she was younger, and she got that kraken!
When she finally reached the other side, she saw her friends there. They said ‘what are you doing
here Antie?’ Antie said, ‘I sailed here thanks to a few of the land giants’ ‘A land giant ??’ her friends
asked, ‘yes’ replied Antie ‘Not all land giants are bad’. ‘We never knew, thanks for teaching us
something new’. ‘No problem guys’.

THE MAGICAL WATCH
By Harshavardhan
III C

Once upon a time, there lived a boy named Mike. He was a very
clever, smart boy and was very brave. One day when he was
returning home from school, he happened to find a watch. He
looked at the watch and it showed the time as 7:30 in the morning
but he just returned from a normal day at school. When he
checked his real watch, it showed 3:30 pm. He thought the battery
of the watch died but the hands were ticking. He noticed in the
opposite direction (anticlockwise).He got a little scared but then
he put it on because it was red and it was his lucky colour. When
he blinked his eyes he couldn’t believe what he just saw. He saw
himself at 7:30 in the morning when his mom was going to wake
him up for school and he understood that this was the watch that could reverse time. He could
reverse the time whenever he wanted; to whatever time he wants from the Past. So the following
day he wanted to try if it worked so he decided to test it on cheating a test.
He first wrote the test and copied all the questions on a piece of paper. Then he reverse the time
and went home and looked up all the answers and learnt them. Then he reversed the time to write
the test with all the answers he learnt. He was very happy because he knew he had to get an A++
on this test and his parents will be proud of him. After school when he was playing a game with his
friends he decided to use the watch again to cheat on the games they were playing and win all the
time. He went back home after playing. He started to misuse the watch and he was having lots of
fun doing it .The next day at he got his answers of the test he was shocked to see a big F. He didn’t
understand what happened because he had correctly looked up all the answers and put them on
the test. He continued thinking about this until on the way back home he looked at all of his friends
and none of them seem to talk to him and one of them even said he didn’t want to play with him
anymore. he was so angry and confused what happened and he went back home. At home he was
removing the watch to take a shower until he realized that was something written on the back. It
looked like some kind of ancient language.
He went to his dad to ask him what it was. His dad took the magnifying glass and read that“
performed with this watch if the deeds are bad the owner will be punished but if the deeds are
good the owner will be rewarded”. Mike quickly grab the watch from his dad’s hand without
explaining anything and ran to his room. He finally realized that he had been misusing the watch
for wrong and that is why he was punished by failing the test and by losing all his friends. So he
decided to get rid of the watch for good. He ran outside and tossed it to the trees on his backyard.
Now he was relived and he hoped who ever found this watch next would put it to good use.

PARADISE ISLAND

By Ishaan Das

III C

Once upon a time there lived a boy named Dak and a girl named
Leyla. Both of them had pets. Dak’s dog was a black Husky and Leyla
had a white furry cat. The Husky’s name was Casper and the cat
was called Snowy.

One sunny day, in the month of December, they all went to a
nearby meadow for a picnic. Leyla carried a picnic basket which
had their light jackets to keep them warm if it got cold, some bread
and jam, cookies, juice, and a picnic blanket to spread out and keep
their stuff. Once they reached the meadow and spread out the
blanket, they relaxed under the bright blue sky for some time. Then
they played ‘catch me if you can’. Even Casper and Snowy ran all over the meadow in the soft
breeze chasing butterflies and dragonflies. They played and played until they got very tired.
Eventually, since they were very tired playing the entire day, they decided to take some rest under
the cool shade of the big crimson pine tree. Collecting their stuff, they went and leaned on the
trunk of the tree; but when they leaned on the tree, the wind WOOOOSHED and suddenly they
were teleported to an island.

This was a small island. It was full of greenery everywhere. The trees were tall and beautiful and
they could hear birds tweeting everywhere. But it looked like the weather was changing into a
stormy day. When Dak and Leyla finally got up and absorbed this new location, they realized that
their pets were missing! Where could they have gone? They called out to them ‘Casper, Snowy?
Where are you?’ ‘Snowy are you hiding?’ but instead of a cat and dog, two big dragons responded
to those calls. To their surprise, Casper was a night fury and snowy was a light fury. So, knowing
that it’s just them, they all thought on how they were going to get back to the picnic meadow.
When they were finally finished discussing a plan, to their shock, they saw a pirate ship dock at the
island shores.

Now, they needed a new plan on how to get away without being noticed. But it was
impossible to get away without the dragons being seen. Dak and Leyla soon realized that the pirates
wanted to capture the dragons and soon there was a war which began. They all fought the pirates
hard. Dak and Casper were fighting the captain, while Leyla and Snowy kept the crew occupied.
There were lot of sword clashes and plasma blasts seen – CLING, CLANG, SWISH, and SWASH were
the noises from the swords and cutlasses. Eventually, the captain said ‘I surrender, I promise I will
never ever do this again and I will be the kindest captain in the whole world” and waved the white
flag. The war was finally over! And as soon as Dak and Leyla realized that the war was over, the four
of them were magically teleported back to the picnic meadow. Dak and Leyla were happy to be
back from the paradise island and see the Husky and cat back with them.

NEW AGE CINDERELLA

By Kenisha Vatts

III C

This tale is about a young girl – not once upon a time, but only a year
back! Girl was named Ella. She lived in a place called Owl’s hill in the
house named Owl’s den. She lived there with her step mother and 2
step sisters. As the luck will have, her stepmom and sisters were not
very kind. They knew that they can’t be cruel due to fear of police, but
they were very mean. Sometimes her sisters will tear her homework,
will switch off her Wi-Fi, hide her books and the list goes on. Her
stepmom sent her to a basic neighbourhood school, whereas her
daughters went to the best school in town. Ella felt alone especially
because her father had passed away a few years back. But she could
find her happiness in beautiful planets, stars and heavenly bodies
which she used to admire through the last gift from her daddy – a telescope which she named Frankie
after her daddy. She spent hours on her window seat identifying constellations at night and during the
day she kept reading about the stars, planets and other things in the universe. Her dream was to become
a part of Space X and NASA. She wondered how it will feel to drive Parker Probe to sun! Her sisters on
the other hand were busy going to parties, playing and doing everything other than studies.

Ella with her hard work and passion did well in studies and got admission into one of the best colleges in
the country. She also got full scholarship. Her sisters on the other hand went to a basic college.

Once when they went shopping and Ella was there only to hold her sisters’ bags, they heard a loud voice.
Who is Speaking so loudly” – Said sister one.

“I don’t know – some fool may be!!” Said sister two.

“Hey – It’s Elon Musk!!!!” Ella shrieked!!

Her sisters wondered – “how does she know???”

Ella – “Let’s hear what he has to say!”

Ella hurried towards the stage and her sisters soon followed.

Elon musk was on a big screen and made an announcement – “This announcement is for all the space
lovers who can win a golden ticket to Space X. It’s a simple competition, but there will be only one winner.
The competition is about creativity and intelligence. You must find your own constellation, take a picture
and send it. But you can’t draw it on paper. You have to take a real picture in sky!”

The announcement was over and Ella knew what to do now! She had to win her golden ticket!

Ella worked and worked and could find an excellent constellation in form of a Heart and she named it
“Golden Heart”. Her submission came in before the due date.

17

THREE MONTHS LATER…

Ella was eagerly waiting for the results. She was asleep when the mail came addressed to her. Her sisters
immediately opened it and were shocked to see that Ella had won. Evil stepsisters decided to impersonate
Ella and collect prize. Ella knew nothing about this plan. In the evening when she was watching the news,
she was surprised to see her elder sister on TV, collecting prizes from Elon Musk! Ella was heartbroken.
She knew she had to do something. She can’t wait for a fairy godmother to rescue her.
So Ella immediately went to Space X and shouted – “I am real Ella, and this girl is an impersonator”.
Elon Musk himself came and said – How can you prove it.
Ella said – “Only I know about the constellation I found. Ask my sister who is impersonating me to show
the constellation in sky!”
The stepsister knew she had lost! She cried and confessed her mistake.
Elon Musk was very impressed with Ella and he gave all prizes to her which included a new Tesla, a job at
Space X and last and most important – a future trip to Mars!
All dreams of Ella came true. She was very happy. She was like Cinderella of olden day, but she knew how
to save herself and her dream was to make a career and life for herself.

FAIRIES
By Marianna

III C

Fairies lived in the meadow. They ate the nectar of flowers.
But the rains stopped and the flowers dried up. The fairies
needed a new place, because there are no flowers, so there is
no nectar, so there is no food. And they flew like birds to look
for new flowers. They found a garden. The garden was
watered by an old woman, so flowers are always flowers, even
when there was no rain. The fairies settled in the garden and
the garden blossomed even more beautifully. The old woman
thought that it was magic and every day she sat motionless in
a chair for a long time to see who was doing the magic. After a while, the fairies ceased to be
afraid of the old woman and she was able to see them. But she did not touch the fairies, but
simply rejoiced that magical creatures lived in her garden.

MARIGLOD’S CUP OF CLEVERNESS

By Nainika Sivaram

III C

Once upon a time, there was a little girl called marigold. she lived
with her parents in a small, cozy house near townsville. she dreamt
about many fantasies and would ask her mother if they were real.

One day, she was walking down the hill to collect flowers for
decoration. as she went down, she saw a little house that was
shaped like a mushroom. curiously, she went down the hill to see
who lived there.

When she reached, she knocked on the door 3 times and the door
opened on its own in slow motion. there stood a small gnome that
looked like a girl. “well, come inside. who are you?” the gnome
asked. marigold was so surprised that she could not say anything for a
moment or two. but she slowly went inside. then she turned around
and said calmly, “my name is marigold. and what is your name?” “my
name is tessa,” said the gnome.

Suddenly, she was hungry. So, she politely asked Tessa, “would you be
so kind to make me a cup of tea? i am very thirsty.” The gnome went
into the kitchen to make some tea. After she drank her tea, they both
started chatting away like old friends.

After a while, Tessa went in and brought a small, glittery cup to give to
marigold. “This might be a small cup, but if you pour out a liquid from it, then you can ask a question and
the cup will answer it for you. Use it well.” Tessa said. Marigold thanked Tessa and took the cup home. it felt
warm and smooth. She showed the cup to her mother and told her all about her encounter with Tessa, the
gnome. Her mother seemed surprised.

The next day, mother poured milk into the cup and then poured the
milk into another glass from the cup. She wanted to see if what
marigold had told her about the cup was true. She then asked the
cup, “what is the gnome’s name?” suddenly, a high-pitched voice
came out of nowhere, “her name is Tessa!” Both, marigold and her
mother were very excited. They began using the ‘magic cup’ for the
next few days… and marigold even used it for her research for
school. Oh, but oh, only if her teacher knew about that cup!

One fine day, marigold’s father found the cup lying around and kept
it in a cupboard along with other chinaware. Now, all the chaos

22

began. Marigold and her mother came home and were desperately looking for the cup and marigold’s father
forgot where he had put it. “Oh dear!” said mother, “what are we going to
do now?”
That afternoon, everyone was tired after searching everywhere for the cup.
So, they decided to take a nap. When they were sleeping, a naughty goblin
crept into the house and stole the cup!

The goblin took the cup to Tessa’s house and left it on the table to
make her believe that marigold did not like the cup. When he was
sneaking out of the house through the back door, Tessa spotted him
and saw the cup too. She immediately understood the goblin’s trick
and scolded him. She asked him to make amends.
The goblin took the cup back to marigold’s house and placed it on the dining table.
When everyone woke up, they saw the cup and mother let out a shriek of surprise. As for father,
he promised to never keep it anywhere again. Marigold was very happy with her ‘clever cup’ and
decided to name it “the cup of cleverness!”

THE MYSTERY OF MRS.RIA RIFINTIN

By Sri Dharshini Reddy

III C

Hey, I am so bored, come on let’s do something, says Sarah. I
think I want to eat Ice cream, says Fiana. Everybody says yes
our mouth is watering!! Those 5 children went to a hotel to
buy Ice cream. Everyone ordered a strawberry ice cream.
When Zoe felt that something was on her leg she bent down
and saw a note. It was written as “H LINTALEE MR SIDCUS”.
She immediately showed it to everyone. They were astonished
to see it. Something is written over here. Within less time
everybody finished their ice cream. Merry said let’s investigate
about this. Be serious, don't tell this to anyone she whispered.
Let’s go home and investigate about this declared Sarah.

While driving to everyone’s house she saw a man wearing a mask. He was about to shoot them all
but everyone saw that the man was about to shoot so they all bent down. Sarah drove the car very
fast like a racer as she was so frightened about this issue. Everyone was shivering. At last they
reached their house. At the door it was written as you think you can escape from me… no you
cannot! Look I am breaking your window can’t you hear the sound...everyone ran out of the house
so fastly that no one could see them. When Fiana looked behind her there was a man following
them. She asked everyone to run fastly as the man was near to them.

Everyone was panting for breath. Finally they saw the police station and went inside and as soon
as they went into the police station the man vanished. Sarah said let’s be here for some time or the
man will again come to us and catch us. Why is that person following us? Interrupted Merry. I think
as we found the note the man was giving us a message that something is there in this note and the
man wants us not to read it and this is also part of our research. Hey Fiana, something is there on
your back, says Merry. OH my god take it out, says Fiana in a scared way. It was a note and it was
written as “ROBIN HOOD 03789 BUS AT 4:12 SHARP AND TELL THE DRIVER DEAD END. “What is this?
Says Zoe in a confused way. I think someone is having trouble and hurrilly kept this note if I am right
let’s go to the address.

The address

They found the bus 03789 and stepped on the bus. The bus was empty except the driver. They told
the driver Robin Hood and also said dead end. The driver took them there and said to leave the bus.
There was no one there. Suddenly they saw something moving behind a bush. It was just a rat. They

held their hands tightly and moved forward. They instantly heard a voice saying Help help help…
They saw a police officer and went to him but he was not a police officer but the man who tried to
follow them. They ran towards the forest sides as they did not have another way. But soon he
disappeared. So they went back to the way they came from. Suddenly Sarah felt dizzy and fainted.
The others did not even have water to sprinkle on her so they found a pond near to them. They
took the water and sprinkled on Sarah. She did not still wake. Merry felt something on Sarah’s hand
like it was an injection. Merry said to everyone that the man poked an injection on Sarah. Wait I
have an Idea says Luna in a happy tone so she jumped up and down. Fiana said Hey! Stop jumping
and tell us the idea. So the idea is….. Wait!! Does anyone have a phone? Asked Fiana. Everyone
gave a confused look and checked their pockets. I lost my phone says Fiana as while running maybe
it fell down and even me too….. Me too….. And everybody. Except me. Who’s that? It’s me Luna….
I have it here in my pocket. Ok why did you ask that everyone has a phone or not? Interrupted Zoe.
For the idea we need a phone well….

The idea is let’s call the police or anyone that we know. Hmmm is it a good idea? Or I think search
what we should do when a person gets like Sarah. Yes, the second one is a good idea, says Luna.
The ideas are not good because if we call the police we cannot investigate this case…. if we search
also we don’t have the necessary things used for that declared Merry. This conversation was going
on till an hour. At last Sarah woke up. Everyone saw her but Luna saw her and immediately asked
what we are going to do next? Sarah did not understand anything and said what are you talking
about? In a low tone. Shhhh be quite Merry whispered.

As she woke up now only right so wait for two minutes. Yeah oooooof Luna says. After a few
minutes she asked. Sarah said now I am ill so let’s go back to our homes. Suddenly they heard again
a voice saying Help help help… No we should not, someone is here in trouble and he is near to us
said Merry. How do you know that he is near to us? Asked Zoe. Oh didn’t you understand that it’s
so easy, says Merry. No, I didn’t please tell me persuaded Zoe. As Sarah said, let’s go to our house
and at the same time the person shouted help because the person wanted us to stay here to save
the person did you understand? Yeah yeah so are we going to find him? Yes you are right let’s
search.

But what about Sarah? Hmmmmm 2 people stay with Sarah and others… you know. Who will stay
with me? Asked Sarah. It’s me Fiana because I am good at sports which means good at self-defense
but not with experts. And I Zoe as I am good
at reading and I have read the self-defense
book which knows as I am going to be with
her. So we have decided that Fiana and Zoe
are going to be with Sarah. Merry and Luna
are going to find the person.

HELP SARAH

31

Merry and Luna were finding the person. They were so careful about thorns and all dangerous
things. Unexpectedly they heard the sound of a bullet. They bent down and looked straight; it was
the man who was following them. He laughed in an evil way and said I was the one who said help
help to make you all find me hahahahaha!!! You fools don’t have intelligence mainly you Merry you
thought some person was in trouble. Now you both are trapped you cannot run back because you
are going to die. They were running towards Fiana and Zoe. They shouted we are Merry and Zoe…
the one who said help help help was the man who was following us as you both know how to defend
then can you do it with the man? Zoe and Fiana heard the voice of them and said No we can’t but
come towards us let’s run away.

Within less time they came and everyone ran out of there. But poor Sarah fell down and got hurt
but everyone did not watch her and ran away. But the man caught Sarah. Sarah fainted due to her
pain. So the man took her to the deep forests and as soon as they stepped into the deep forests
Sarah got a dream which was a true story. It was when Sarah lost in a deep forest she was chased
by so many predators but still she was alive and went into deep and deep forests she saw four
travelers which were her four friends Luna, Merry, Fiana, Zoe. As they all saved Sarah they became
her best friends but Sarah was still scared of deep forests and this dream comes only when Sarah
is near to the deep forests. Soon everyone stepped out of the forest. First of all they drank water.
Luna asked where is Sarah. Everyone looked at her.

Oh no it can’t happen the man took Sarah. What are we going to do….. Her parents are going to kill
us oh shit!!… Fast think of an idea…… fast or the man will kill her oh no ushhhhhhh. I think first we
should find the place where the man lives. He may take her there? But how? I know where he is
but I don’t know whether the place is where he lives and the place is deep forests. He may take her
there because she is scared of deep forests and I even have a map which is this. This is the map….

Trump

Now, they were in the dark forest so they were going to the hills but Luna said I cannot come. I am
scared of heights but at last she said okay. They went to the hills. It was a long journey and it took
3 hours to climb the hills. They came to the pond they were fishing, they even drank water and ate
fish. They crossed the bridge and came to the thorny area. They wore a blanket to prevent thorns.
They went on a boat and to the island they found treasure but they did not take it. They went to
the boats and entered the deep forest. They found a few stones in a line which were the stones
that Sarah left to give a message to anyone who comes here and actually Sarah got the dream when
she was coming to the deep forest like when she was at the boat but after the dream she woke and
she was at the deep forest so she left those stones. Merry says I think Sarah left these stones. So
they followed the stones. At last the stones stopped. There was the man. Sarah was near to him.
He removed his mask and did you know who he was. Luna said It is Trump a prisoner and do you
know how I know that he was Trump and he is a prisoner …… on his shirt I saw his name and under
that written as a prisoner. He doesn’t have a family. Luna said why he will try to kill us….. Is there
any problem or is he doing this with no reason? I don’t know, let's ask him said Zoe. Are you mad?
