Cast Aways

I looked at Lenox with a hopeful smile on my face. Lenox smiled a sad smile. Lenox was a nice little girl. She was the oldest person here. She had light brown hair. her hair was now knotted from not being brushed. George looked at Lenox with a little wetness in his eyes. George was a young boy with curly, blonde hair. He had blue eyes which used to be filled with happiness, but, was now filled with sorrow. I am the youngest cousin of all. I have dark brown hair with a hint of gold in it.

We were cutting coconuts in half and washing strawberries. We had been on the canoes for nearly 3 hours. We landed on this strange island. I wandered around the island. I felt strange.

Early next morning, while Lenox and George were asleep, I walked to the beach. The water crawled up to the shore. I sat on the soft white sand and began daydreaming of home. How surprised my mum would be be to find me. I closed my eyes and started to feel drowsy. "3, 2... 1," I said in my head, but I had already fallen asleep. I was woken by the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. I thought I was dreaming but I wasn't!!! A pumpkin the size of an apartment was floating toward Lenox! I quickly grabbed a pole and pushed it in the water. We had attached it yesterday to the boat, but it wouldn't fit. We had decided to put floaties on it. Anyways, I pushed with all my might. It stopped with a "swish". I was curious. Why was it here?

I started to walk to it. It was absorbing me; pulling me towards it. I ran straight to it and soon I reached the huge pumpkin. I was already knee level in the water!!! I felt around it and pulled out a crystal. It was as big as a watermelon. I slowly swam back and found that Lenox and George were looking at me in awe. I told them how I found it and when I finished, they were looking at me and the crystal with a gaping mouth. They looked like fish breathing!

I decided to hide it. When I woke up the next day, I told them that I'd go to the forest to explore. I dug a little hole the size of a foot and as deep as something that could fit a watermelon. I put the shiny crystal in and covered it with yellow grass and dried leaves.

After that day, I was woken up by a fierce roar. I bolted up and looked around. I saw a black dragon's head in the cracks of the trees. I also saw Lenox and George running for their lives. I knew something. "The crystal!" I said out loud. I leapt up and started running to the forest. My tired brain begged for rest, but I ignored the begging.

I easily found the crystal. I ran back to the beach. I thought about saving Lenox and George. My hand began to glow, a light flashed out. It was a dark green light. It swirled around and around the dragon. After one final roar, a flash of green shot out and disappeared. Now the dragon was green.

This dragon was very generous and apologized for his grumpy mood. We rode him home and I explained everything. When I got home, my astonished mother asked me what had happened. I wrote this story in one kind of book. Guess what the book is? Yes, you've just finished it.

The End.
