Shadow grabbing the golden lock

it happened in the dead of night. The garden light illuminated the person, casting a mysterious shadow.

As silent as a whisper in the night, the figure stealthily crept towards the green, wooden doors. Click…The key slipped into the metal lock, the cold mechanisms inside responding to the familiar shape of the object that had been slipped inside. Seeing the padlock pop open as expected, the figure slipped the slender bolt across into its resting position. The doors groaned agonizingly, the figure turning to survey the surrounding area, alarmed at the loudness of the sound their actions had made.

The coast seemed clear. Resuming their mission, the shadow slipped inside the room. There it was. This was the sight and moment they had been waiting for…

Listing into the doors

I placed my ear against the firm, wooden door. It felt warm: the sun had been shining on it all morning. From the other side I could hear voices. It sounded like two, or maybe three people whispering. One of the voices was a woman, and the others seemed to be men. Or was it the sound of a child?

The tone of their voices suggested great excitement. Had a great discovery just been made? Had a long-lost secret just been unearthed? Curious, I placed my hand on the shiny, metal door handle and began to turn. Creak… the door’s stiff hinges resisted me, but gradually gave way, and I was drenched in darkness as I stepped over the threshold…

The six doors that you can see in the picture above are all real. They all have their own stories to tell, about real people.

Hidden secrets in the library

The Great wharenui had many tiwhiri  treasures. As a tekau year old wahine , many of the ruma were out of taparepare  for Elsa, but her matenui  for adventure often got the iro of her…

She peeked back  Tuwhiti shoulder to check that the tuwhiti was clear. She could  oko  tahi of the butlers clattering around in the kihini at the far end of the hall; no one knew she was there.

She carefully turned the ornate, pingao door handle, hearing the mechanism roto clunk, and eased the heavy, wooden door open just enough to paheke inside the ruma noho

Immediately, Elsa was bathed in rama as it poured down from the circular in the ceiling. She could see dust dancing in the beams of sunlight.

With a flutter of excitement inside her chest, she strode confidently into the centre of the room, her shoes click-clacking off the chessboard-like floor. She loved this library – it felt like she was ‘in’ history. How many lords and

ladies had graced this great room? It has stood here for centuries, and Elsa doubted that little, if anything, had changed over the years.

Elsa loved reading, but that wasn’t why she had come to the library. She approached one of the golden orbs lined up along the centre of the library floor, and carefully placed her finger on the top. It had worked last time. Would it work again? She longed for the magic to happen, and closed her eyes in silent prayer…

Story 2

Michaels flippers started zig zagging side to side. When  Michael. was chasing his pet mango taniwha  through the splashing water  when I was trying to chase my pet mango taniwha  I felt the smooth sand, the sand started to make a colossal spiral  the tornado started swirling and swirling like a milkshake being mixed.

The sand pushed me back and I fell onto a hard wooden rock. Blood started gushing out, I passed out. My mango taniwha tried to wake me up he started to wale I heard him wale. Every second he tried to comfort me until my body started to turn purple he cried for ages. Then he slapped me then I coughed up a pile of crusty old sand

My mango taniwha stopped waling my body stopped turning purple. I said to my pet mango taniwha ‘’thank you I don’t know how to repay you for anything’’ .  Since he was my pet I decided to name him my hero because he is a hero for saving me we set of to go back home and settle in for the night.
