Abigail

In the forest there was a small house. Spot was lying down in his warm brown basket which was positioned in front of the blazing fireplace; Spot scratched his spotty brown ear with his paw. His owner’s daughter was doing her homework and singing a song very badly and loudly. Her father was watching the news. “A storm has struck Cornwall; The Coast Guards says any boat owners are not to go out!” says the news reporter. At ten o’clock the storm was getting louder and louder until it was unbearable. Spot started to whimper and scratch the door. He heard footsteps as they came closer; Spot started to scratch the door even more. The door opened and Spot ran through the door. He got to the front door and jumped through the dog flap. Spot walked through the town; his fur was flying everywhere and the storm was quite hostile. Spot walked through the dark, mysterious forest. There was an owl sheltering in a tree, it looked very cold. Spot kept on walking through the forest until he got to the beach where he saw an octopus swirling round. The octopus had wicked red and orange eyes and a blue body. Spot got into a boat and started to row.

He rowed past the evil octopus who didn’t notice a thing. Spot rowed to some rocks which were scattered all around the sea. Spot heard a sound, a crying sound; he listened again still the same sound but even louder. Behind the rocks, Spot saw a mermaid with orange hair and a pink tail. She looked really upset; she didn’t notice Spot who rowed up in the old rowing boat. The octopus was getting even angrier and splashed about. She finally noticed Spot sitting on the rock. Just then one of the tentacles pushed the mermaid and Spot and they both toppled into the water. They spun around like a hurricane. They landed with a BANG, as they hit the rock bottom. Spot started to breath heavily, he didn’t realise he was breathing under the water. He and the mermaid swam for their lives; the mermaid broke the silence and whispered “I am called Abigail, “I have lived undersea for 15 years after falling off a cruiser when I was 17 years old!”After a few hours of swimming they found this island with big bold golden gates. On the Island they found, there was a Mermaid School, Mermaid cars, Mermaid cinema and loads of mermaid houses. The houses had roofs that were made out of old upside down boats. “Abigail” called a voice behind them. Spot looked behind but didn’t see anybody. Next thing he knew Abigail had vanished and was nowhere to be seen. Spot doggy

paddled his way to a bunch of mermaids who were whispering. “Do you know where Abigail went?”questioned Spot. Spot hoped that they would have seen his friend. “No!” replied a girl who looked about 7 years old. Spot went around asking people but they all said that they hadn’t seen Abigail. Spot saw the octopus that had started the storm; the evil octopus glared at Spot with its sharp, evil eyes; the octopus swam away through the dark mist. Spot watched the octopus float away. He thought about Abigail and where she went. He had no idea where he was going or were Abigail went. Suddenly there was a tap on Spot shoulder; he spun around to find the 7 year old mermaid who he talked to first. The mermaid took a deep breath. “My name is Lizzie, I didn’t tell you the truth because I was threatened not to tell you!” “I know where Abigail went; but I can’t tell you here!”she whispered. Spot followed the young girl to a small house. “I saw Abigail being dragged into The Cave; nobody goes in the cave because there is an evil octopus that lives there who keeps people as slaves; if anybody is rude to him he will feed you to his shark guards.” “The reason I am telling you this is because my father and mother were both kidnapped by the octopus when I was about 1 years old.” “I will come with you and save Abigail and my parents if there are still alive but

we can’t go alone we need most of the town to help.”she whispered. “Ok you can help but I don’t want you to get harmed!” answered Spot. When they got most of the town to help and swam quickly to the cave. The sharks were guarding the cave doors, but as soon as they saw Spot growling and looking ready to charge they let him through. They saw the octopus sitting on old bones of mermaids and animals that had been kidnapped. Spot saw Abigail tied up to a wall. Spot charge past the octopus to get to Abigail. Abigail wiggled out of the rope and ran out of the cave. The octopus got very angry; he grabbed a spear and knocked Spot over and tied him to the wall with his evil tentacles. Lizzie grabbed another spear and ran up to the octopus and stabbed him in the heart. Spot moved around and set himself free. Then a dark glow from the octopus, then Spot found himself going back in time. Spot landed in his basket.

disgusting woods until he came to a beautiful, rose

smelling beach. He kept walking then he found a pretty,

smooth and unique boat so he clambered in and he set off

on his wavy adventure. In the middle of the adventure he

found something sitting on the rocks in the distance so he

sailed closer and closer until he came so close he could

reach out and touch it, he did reach out and touch it and

he could! It was a slimy half fish half person, it was a

mermaid with lovely blue eyes and silky brown hair so he

let her in the boat. The dog had to keep filling the boat

with water and it got heavier and heavier in till it sank into

an underwater world the dog was scared but the mermaid

was amazed. “Wow!” said the mermaid “Ahh!” said the

dog but then he was not so scared anymore. “Hhaaaa!”

said the dog “This is beautiful.”

said the mermaid but then she saw a different land with

an evil king witch, if they didn’t do as they were told or

tried to leave the land they were put into a gloop that

made you into a statue so he would rule the world. They

swam away quickly just before he could catch them so the

dog dropped off the mermaid back at her rock, got back

to the beach, walked through the forest and went back

home.

Rovers Tale of the Sea

One spooky stormy night, a dog called Rover, who was black and white and

had a red collar, was walking into and deep dark forest. He heard things like

twit two wooo, dooo nooooot eeeeenter. He heard twigs and leaves

crunching under his paws then he suddenly started smelling a smoky smell.

There was a moments silence then suddenly heard a BANG! He jamp with

fear and then he ran to the beach, he found a boat which was covered with

fish blood, it stank but anyway he pushed it out to sea and jamp in the boat.

Meanwhile, under the water, an octopus was making the water rough then

suddenly Rover heard a voice calling, “Help me!” that voice belonged to a

mermaid called Layla, she had blonde flowing hair, blue eyes and a sparkly

rainbow tail. He rowed over to her in the dinghy.

He let her into the boat but since she was a mermaid he had to keep

scooping sea water to make her comfortable, that was making the boat

heavy. Suddenly, they heard a slam and the boat started to rock. Layla said,

“It is the strongest creature in the world, an octopus.” The boat sank. Layla

said, “ Hold onto me so then you can breathe under water.” so they swam.

They could hear the octopus gaining on them, then they swam through a

magical portal and just as the octopus was about to swim through the portal

it closed. They heard a loud SLAM! Then they saw the octopus lying

unconscious on the bottom of the sea.

The magical portal lead to a land full of treasure boxes and in them were

bunches of gold, silver, rubies and emeralds; every precious stone you can

think of. Then they saw an Emerald Castle it was beautiful and it glistened in

the sunlight. Then suddenly a merman called King Triton swam out of the

castle holding a gold collar and a gold tiara with a large emerald surrounded

by lots of topaz stones. It also glistened in the sunlight. Finally he spoke, he

announced, “Three cheers for the dog that brings back my little princess, Hip

hip hurray, hip hip hurray, hip hip hurray!” then Layla shouted out with glee

“Daddy!” Rover was confused. Were they meaning him? Suddenly, King

Triton beckoned Layla. (Which Rover now knows is King Triton’s daughter.)

Then Triton whispered in his daughters ear, “ Go present that dog with this

gold collar then meet me in the main hall, I have a surprise for that dog.”

So that is what Layla did I got a gold collar and she got the gold tiara; turns

out she is the princess of the ocean. The surprise was to live under the

ocean and I also got asked if I wanted my photo taken so then they could

make statue of me and then write Rover the hero dog and of course I said

yes.

Now I am the royal dog of the ocean. I can also breathe under water; turns

out the gold collar helps me breathe under water and I even have my own

doggy throne. Layla and her little triplet sisters Lauren, Louisa and Lizzie play

with me a lot. Lizzie is the smallest, has brown straight hair with pigtails, she

had hazel eyes and a smooth red and blue spotty tail. Louisa was the second

youngest she had red wild hair, green eyes and a green and yellow stripy tail.

Lauren has jet black hair, bluish greenish eyes and a pink and purple starry

tail.

Still me and Layla and sometimes Lauren joins in. We go up to the surface

and sometimes I find makeup and accessories that belonged to humans and I

give it to Layla. Once in a while I like to have a short stroll on the beach.

Once Layla even convinced her dad to give her legs just so she could explore

too. But now Layla is a lot older and she married to a merman called John

who has brown hair and hazel eyes and an orange tail. They had two children

called Bob and Ella.

Ella has dark blonde hair which is dip dyed violet. Ella has blue eyes and

freckles and she is 14; her tail is blue with big dots of glitter. Bob has black

hair he has a bright green tail he has geeky glasses and he is 10. I go and visit

Layla a lot but sometimes Ella has her friends over for the night. Sometimes I

try to leave but Ella always grabs me and tickles me. She also holds me still

while her friends cover me in makeup then Layla comes up to her room and

then she takes me down stairs and takes the makeup out of my fur. When

Ella and her friends fall asleep she takes me home and then it happens all

over again. Sometimes I don’t actually go home because sometimes it is to

stormy so I hide under Layla bed until she knows it’s safe to go home.

Sometimes Ella is still awake so I hide to avoid being covered in makeup;

don’t tell Ella!

The Great People Rescue

One dark and gloomy day a boy named

Billy, a girl named Ivy with a magic dog

called Maxamus went on a giant smooth

blue boat. They sailed across the wet

shimmery sea. Until... an annoying orange

octopus made a hole in the bottom of the

boat and a mermaid with a teal tail went

in the boat and it sank down to the

bottom of the sea. The mermaid said sorry

to Billy, Ivy and Maxamus, “It’s ok but

can you show us a place we can stay?”

said Billy and Ivy. “There is a hotel

called Sand-wick across the street or you

could stay with me?” said the mermaid

called Summer. “We will stay here at the

hotel but every morning come and see us,

ok?” barked Maxamus “Ok” said Summer.

“How did Maxamus talk?” said Summer.

“He’s a magic dog!” said Billy and Ivy.

“Let’s go!” they all said at once. When

they got to the hotel it was yellow and

made of hard sand, but when they got in

it was just the life with swimming pools.

But then it struck midnight so they

thought they’d better go to bed. When

they got up the stairs they saw their

room it looked warm and so comfy. Billy

slept on top bunk with a blue blanket,

Ivy went on a cabin bed and Maxamus slept

on a magic carpet. When it turned morning

Summer swam up to their room and knocked

on the door and said “Hi it is Summer the

mermaid!” said Summer. Ivy opened the

door. “Morning come in!” said Maxamus,

frightened.

“Why are you so scared?” asked Billy and

Ivy.

“Sharkkk!” said Maxamus.

“Stay in the hotel and be quiet, ok?”

said Summer.

“Yes we will.” replied Ivy and Billy.

When the shark was gone Summer said

“You’d better go home.”

“We should probably go home... but we

could visit you again!” they all said at

the same time.

“Bye bye!” they all said. The next day

Billy made a new boat and they are still

sailing to this day.

could hear a noise that sounded like splash and then again

splash so he ran to the sound. It was an octopus splashing the

water. In the distance he could see a mermaid on a rock. The

dog jamp into a brown, wooden boat that was on the beach.

He pushed the boat into the sea and rowed away to the

mermaid. The sea was bumpy, rough and there were lots of

bits of drift wood but the dog got there after all. The mermaid

said I know where there is an underwater kingdom. The dog

said I can’t breathe under water, the mermaid giggled she said

Enchansia

There was a dog named Misty. She was always finding ways

to keep clean. Every step she took, she led a trail of silver,

shimmering, glitter. That’s how people could tell where she

had been. Her coat was the most beautiful thing; shiny, gold,

priceless. She went for a gentle walk and found herself on an

old, yet full of life, looking beach. There were lots of wood

and seaweed washed up from the wavy sea. The fresh air

from the sea smelled wonderful. She found a painted boat

with paddles and thought she could have a go at making shu

shi (even though he had never done it before). The paddles

were multi-coloured and were a bit too long for the dog. He

left the noisy beach and paddled away. When he got going

there was a big storm, there was a whirlpool forming,

thunder and lightning, blasts of wind.... but then, all that

stopped. In-front of the boat there swam a mermaid called

Jessica. Her hair was a lovely pink, her scales on her tail were

glimmering in the sun and she had a beautiful singing voice.

She said as softly as ever,

“Jump in the water, I will show you a special

underwater kingdom for mermaids and mermen”.

“Misty said No, my coat will get all wet and I can’t breathe

underwater!”

“Well if you eat this leaf of the plant of magic then you

can breathe underwater.”

“I can’t. Can you smell my magic? See the glitter, feel my

coat? Do you recognise me? I am Enchansia, Zamzar’s puppy

but Misty’s my nickname. I can’t go because if I did, my magic

would turn black”.

“No I cannot accept that, I was sent here by the ocean

rulers to get you down here. They need you, we all need

you”. If you don’t come I will put a curse on you.

“I will come and risk getting itchy skin and my magic safe.”

So she did. She leapt out the boat, ate the leaf and sank. She

swam as far down as she could and then she reached an

underwater water kingdom. She saw lots of hidden treasure,

ruby, diamond and emerald jewels, treasure chests and big

diamond castles. It felt like she was having a dream. Misty

lost Jessica on the way but found her standing next to a

merman that looked like the king. He said with a very strong

voice “WHAT IS THIS DOG DOING HERE?” Misty looked

confused, she was invited and almost forced to come. She

couldn’t refuse so why was he cross. Jessica said “She

followed me here father, I told her not to but she didn’t

listen” Misty was trying to swim up to the surface but the

bad magic was inside her. She had some dust so she splashed

it over her and swam fast because the dust might run out.

She got up to the boat and rowed back to shore. Misty’s

friend Whiskers was looking for cats at the shore and spotted

Misty. He took her to her home and helped her to recover.
