NO ESCAPE

NO ESCAPE

Crash! That was the sound of rocks falling on to the earth. Hardworking miners were digging for gold. One particular girl named Chloe was always hardworking and kind to her peers. She had black hair that looked like soot, eyes the colour of freshly grown grass and a brown tracksuit was what she was wearing. “Phew” she thought, her work was extremely exhausting.

”AAAAHHH” a shrill voice came from a nearby miner. Boom, boom! The mines opening was going to collapse! Chloe, a hermit and a miner that looked like a witch stood astounded “Ha, Ha! You have been cursed to live here for the rest of your puny lives!” the witch cackled and vanished into thin air. The hermit began running around like a psycho while Chloe tried to find a way out. She started knocking on walls to find a secret passage. She ventured a while further and found a gloomy looking tunnel. She pilled the crazy old hermit with her and voyaged through the vast world of gloom.

 

Suddenly the tunnel opening had collapsed just as they reached a dead end!

 

What were they going to do?!

 

The hermit started to weep and fell to the floor, Chloe felt around her. Was there another way out?!

Then out of the blue the wall shattered into fragments. Beside the hole there was a majestic horse with hair that looked like fire. Chloe backed away. Was this her spectacular saviour or just another obstacle?! She had to find out. She cautiously tip toed closer to the horse. It beckoned her to climb onto its back. She grabbed the Hermit and swiftly climbed up.

Kapow! A ball of fire had erupted from the horse’s mouth, blasting the ceiling into smithereens. They flew up with the horse who had turned into a Pegasus which gracefully dropped them outside the mine and flew away into the horizon, leaving shiny sparkles behind. Chloe and the hermit yawned as the sparkles fell on them. A while later they had dozed off, forgetting about their amazing adventure.
