The excitement trembled through my stomach.Oliver and I ran to the blue and orange double biscuit floating in the shore line.

I jumped on. put my thumbs up and the 150 optimax speed off towing us behind. I  looked behind me and I saw most of the year 8s and Jayden, Kyle and Josh on shore waiting for their turn.I  reached for the black  handle holding on for my life.

Jason, the boat driver turned to the left and pulled us into the other biscuit and Oliver next to me, nearly made me capsize but luckily he grabbed on and pulled himself back on. Jason sped up faster and made the biscuit go down the boat wake into the open and rough sea. 

Terrors of the abandoned fortress

Jax reached for the shattered door handle with his coarse hand he heard whistling of wind and rustling of leaves it sent shivers down his spine. He slowly turned the door handle with his shaky hand. CREEAAAK! went the wooden fortress door, I stepped into the shadowy gloom of the castle with cautiousness I heard squeals of terror echo through the vast hallway of the castle.

A glimmer of diamonds struck my eye, I walked away from the door and towards the diamonds, BOOOM the rusting door slammed behind me and shook the castle like a violent, raging earthquake. I hastily turned round and rushed towards the door and I yanked and yanked but it would not open.

WOMP! WOMP! WOMP! I ran outside of my cabin and gazed into the clear sky. I yelled "Jordyn, Dad come and have a look at this." Jordyn ran outside curious about why I called her. I pointed up into the sky showing Jordyn what that roaring sound was, her mouth grew open and she said "Whoah." "Das, hurry up" I yelled raucously. Dad took a step out the door and put his jandals on. We didn't have to tell dad why we wanted him, he found out straight away.  I was camping in the beautiful cityof Rotorua with my Dad and my sister Jordyn.
