Chapter Two
Lucifer
The sound of the car engine sputters and the car sparks to life with a rumble, the car starts to roll on to the road to
the point where as soon as you know it you're on the way to the camping grounds. When Jack and his family get to
the grounds they see that the gatekeeper was a great friend of Jack's that works part-time at the office.
As Jack finished his conversation with the gatekeeper Mia asked what section of the grounds they were staying in
and the gatekeeper simply whispered back Section Lucifer with a pale voice and just like that the gatekeeper was
back to his job ignoring the Ultman family as they asked more questions until one specific question was brought
up “Why is the section called Lucifer?” as soon as the question was asked the gatekeeper instantly locked eyes with
Jack and said “Oh you’ll see” in a snarky voice. Jack felt a strange feeling as he drove through the gates
wondering if this was a good idea after all?

Chapter Three
The Night
Jack and the family finally found a place to set up camp after 23 minutes of searching, Jack springs out of the car to smell the fresh air but instead, he smacks his head on a huge branch that didn't seem to be there as they drove in.
Jack picks himself up as if nothing happened even though the whole family saw him. They walked up a path toward a circle of trees surrounding a shack Jack unlocked the back door with a key that the gatekeeper had given him.
As Jack was walking in Lucy peeked behind her to see chalk drawings Lucy struggled out of her mother's hand to
have a look at the strange drawings “hey daddy look there are a horn man and a boy in a circle” Jack stared at the
circle as if he had seen it before then Mia turned around to see what was happening behind her she saw Jack just
standing, staring at the circle as if he was just a shadow. Mia tapped him on the shoulder and Jack came out of his
hex and without talking to anyone he set off to search the house for somewhere to sleep as he left he had look on
his face expressing something weird Mia knew something was up because this isn't the first time this has happened.

C’hapter Four
Finally Quality Time.
The next day Jack had planned to go to the river with Jase so he went round to Jase’s room knocked on the door
and stormed in with a heroic look Jase woke with excitement to see his dad pretending to be a superhero “are you
ready to go fishing!” Jack yelled in an idiotic tone, Jase fell out of bed just to pop back up again into his dad’s arms,
Jase squeezed Jack as tight as he could as they walked off down the stairs toward the back door. As Jack reached toward the door handle he felt a shiver, Jase burst out the door as soon as he saw a crack of light separating the
door and the doorway. Once Jack had got over this weird feeling he got out the door to see Jase kneeling,
crying to see that the boat had evaporated into the depths of the gloomy forest.

Chapter Five
It All Makes Sense Now
Jack was confused to see the kayak was missing it just didn't make sense everything was going wrong on this trip
but that was about to stop Jack wanted this to be perfect but perfect it may not be. As an owl screeched its chilling
noises Jack set off into the woods with his watch reading 2:24 a.m he heard the chirps of birds, the clatters of the
tree’s and rustling of the animals on the ground but still moved on into the darkness. As he was looking at his
watch he heard an irregular sound coming from deeper in the tree’s as he edged closer to the complex noises
he found a crimson red substance laying on a pile dead leaves and twigs Jack thought it must be blood so he
ran until he couldn't run anymore and once he stopped to take inhale the misty air he saw it just standing there.
The creature had sharp yellow fang's , long narrow horns and the demons eyes locked with Jacks where dark red
shaded with a light grey blend, Jack didn’t believe this was happening but he knew he wouldn't stand a chance
against the beast so he accepted his fate to see that his fate would lead to cold-hearted death.

ReplyDeleteThis is great Kody! I like the way you have published this as if it is a published book - dedication, coming soon etc. You've used some different adjectives to add interest to your writing and it's imaginative. I would have loved it if the chapters were longer and more detailed. Overall, well done! :-)
