Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess stuck in a tall tower, her name was Ruby. She was captured far, far away from her parents. When she was 10, an EVIL witch took her far, far away. The guards took her down but the evil witch cast a spell on her where she will be taken by the Witches Tower. The witch was gone and so was the princess, the king & queen cried everyday and hoped for her lost daughter to be found by a BRAVE knight. Ruby was stuck in the Witches Tower for 8 years. But good thing Ruby learns how to make food every year by using magic from the Witches Spell Book… “ *sign* it’s so boring, why can’t I just get out by myself” said Ruby. “I mean I have a spell book but it doesn’t have a spell to get out!!”. “ *sign* oh why, oh why does this happen to ME. Why can’t I just be a knight, not just a hopeless PRINCESS. Why don’t I just escape by myself, I don’t need a KNIGHT to rescue me at ALL” Ruby said to herself. Ruby was too angry to be in this tall tower and had to wait for a knight to rescue her. Ruby thought for a while, she has been stuck in this tower for 8 years. She was ready to do this all by herself, she can’t wait in the tower for another year!! Ruby ripped her dress short, ripped her sleeves and went on serious mode. Ruby did her game plan to get out of this tall tower, she took a look at everything in the room. Then she looked at the bed sheet, she took the bed sheet. Ripped it line by line, tied it together until it looked like a ROPE. Ruby took a look at her robe that she made, then smiled. She tied the end to the bed and threw the robe outside of the tower. Ruby looked at her robe outside , it was long enough. Then without any hesitation, she climbed down. Ruby was sure that it was high but she didn’t look down until she felt the ground. After climbing, she felt the ground so she opened her eyes. “A-am o-o-outside, am outside, AM OUTSIDE” she said excitedly. She jumped, rolled and even spined. Ruby was finally outside touching the ground after 8 YEARS. But she still had to focus on finding her parents.

 

While wandering around the forest, Ruby tried to find some berries because she was a little hungry after wandering. Ruby then spotted some purple berries, she ran to it and started to pick some. When she had enough, she started to eat it but then someone pushed her. Ruby took a look at who pushed her. When she took a look, a girl in a black hood hissed at her. “W-who are you?” Ruby said holding a stick, “Woah, look I just saved your life!!” said the girl. “What do you mean saved my LIFE?!” Ruby said. Then the girl picked one purple berry, “These berries are poison, one bite then your DEAD” said the girl. Ruby had apologised to the girl, “umm, my name is Ruby yours?” she said. “Cat is my name,” said the girl. “Cat, it’s so nice to meet you. Also, sorry again for scaring you”, “Ha no need to say sorry, you barely scare ME”. Cat had told Ruby that she was an orphanage child, her parents passed away, so Cat had to go to Foster Care. But she ran away from Foster Care, so now she lives in the woods. Ruby had told her everything that had happened to her, Cat was shocked to hear all that. “REALLY, you are a lost PRINCESS. And you want to go back with your parents!!” Cat said. “Yeah, I don’t need a knight to save ME. I do things all by myself and I want a new style too, I don’t like wearing the witch’s old clothes” Ruby said to Cat. Cat took Ruby to her new home. Cat had lived in a tree this whole time but her home was decorated. 

 

Cat looked for some stylish clothes in a pile of clothes. Ruby looked at Cat for a while until she found some clothes that were her style. Cat looked, looked and looked. Then she pulled out a green hood, she gave it to Ruby and told her that it used to be her mum until she passed away. Ruby felt bad about wearing it, but Cat insisted. So she wore it, it looked fire on her. After picking some clothes, Ruby had to continue on her mission. Cat wanted to help her find her parents, Ruby agreed Cat to help her. Soon after, Ruby had made a NEW friend after 8 years. When they were walking, Cat had a map of where her kingdom is. They had to take a boat because it was the fastest way to go. Waking will take ages, so they follow the path to the boat.

 

When they were here at their destination, an old man walked up to them and said “Where are you two girls going” , said the old man. “Uhhh, we’re going to C-Chlorophyta Kingdom,” said Ruby. “Chlorophyta Kingdom, ALL ABOARD” said the old man. The girls got on the boat and went off, the old man asked what their names were. “Cat and Ruby, oh what beautiful names you girls got. My name is Old Lincoln, but you can call me Captain Lincoln” he said. When they were chatting, the girls were here at Chlorophyta Kingdom. Ruby was amazed to see Chlorophyta Kingdom and her parents but before she stepped out of the boat. She got pulled out, Cat laughed at her when she was on the ground. Ruby was confused about what just happened. “C-Cat, why did you do that?” Ruby said to Cat, “WHY I DID THAT, YOU KILLED MY MOTHER. I TRICKED YOU, I LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING. WHEN I WAS LITTLE, MY MOTHER WAS KILLED IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN THE GUARDS LEFT, I RAN TO MY MOTHER. SHE SAID HER FINAL WORDS, “GET REVENGE” SO I HAVE WAITED MY WHOLE LIFE FOR YOU TO GET OUT OF THAT TALL TOWER. BECAUSE I KNEW YOU CAN GET OUT OF THAT TOWER” Cat said. Ruby was stunt to hear ALL that. Cat had tricked Ruby this whole entire time, Ruby cried for a bit but she had to fight Cat. Cat turn into the biggest monster of all time. 

 

The guards were too weak to fight Cat, Ruby felt betrayed by Cat. But Ruby grabbed a sword from 3 guards and threw it at Cat. Cat roared at the guards & Ruby. The guards were blown away from the big roar but Ruby didn’t. She fought until the end. The king had come to fight for his kingdom but he saw Ruby fighting for HER kingdom. “RUBY HERE” said the king when he threw his sword to Ruby. Ruby got the king’s sword, so she ran as fast as she could then made a big jump. Ruby had cut Cat’s head with the king’s sword and said “SHE IS GONE”. Everyone clapped for her, the king ran to his long lost daughter. Then gave her the biggest hug in the world. “You’re finally HOME Ruby” said the King. Ruby’s dad cried a lot when they made it to their castle. Ruby ran to her mum when she was walking in the hall. Ruby’s mum cried so much and so did Ruby. Ruby had become the ladder of  the royal guards, after defeating Cat. And changed the history of women’s.  

 

                                                                                      THE END

 

This week I wrote a story about a BRAVE PRINCESS, I thought about writing a story on SUNDAYS (If I can). So I write story that’s in my mind, and maybe you guys have some ideas for my stories about what it should be about. If you do then comment (ALSO THIS IS NOT A SUMMER LEARNING JOURNEY TASK)

Obsession:

 

I saw you at the station, you look beautiful today

So full of elation, laughing all the way

I followed you on the bus to see where you would go

I don’t like to make a fuss but I still need to know

you have never met me though that will happen too

You will then soon see just what I am to you

 

My hearts been in recession, dwindling slowly away

But you are my obsession It’s growing again each day

Soon I will come to you and hope that you’ll be mine

And maybe you will love me too and all will work out fine

I know now where you live and I will visit you one night

To show you how to give me the love that’s mine by right

 

I saw you down by the shore walking with another guy

I’ve not seen him before, I watched you kiss goodbye

You left, I followed him down, some things must be fought for

I knocked him to the ground and held his head under the water

They’ll find his body on the tide, just another drowned

Assumed to be suicide drifted to where it’s found

 

I know it won’t be easy I have been here before

The drugs make you queasy and the bindings won’t reassure

My last love struggled against me, she shouted and she fought

It saddened me so greatly but a lesson must be taught

I put my hands around her neck until she fell to the floor

But when I went down to check well she breathed no more.

 

I saw you with the police today, I saw you break and cry

How I long to kiss away that tear in your eye

Maybe tonight I’ll hold you, hold you close for ever

But I need to be careful too the police can be clever

They might want to check to ensure your not involved

I don’t want to risk my neck until you are absolved

 

I need to.hide, to go away

Just for a week or two

But I’ll be back and back to stay

I’m coming back…for you

 

The search:

 

The detective put down the statement and looked at the clock on the wall

It had only been four hours, since they had taken the call

They had a witness who claimed to have witnessed the fight

And a girl who was seen with him just before his last night

She said he was like a brother, best friends since they were small

That she could never have another friend so good, and that said it all

 

She’d been asked if anything odd had happened quite recently

Anyone acting strangely In her vicinity

Well she had replied, I don’t want to make a fuss

There was one person who kept staring at me on the bus

She described him very well, as did the witness to the fight

It seems they could be the same, if the descriptions are right

 

They put out the descriptions and a photo fit

Got the usual wasting calls and then they got a hit

Then they got another, they kept on coming in

Many named the same man, mayhap its a win?

They had an address and a name, just needed now some luck

Within an hour the detectives team were at his home for a look

 

No one was home, no one seemed to be in

Nothing in the area that would incriminate him

They didn’t have enough to break in the shack

So they were resigned to having to call back

Then someone noticed a grid in the ground

Hidden in a corner of the compound

When they lifted it they were hit by the smell

Coming from what seemed to be an old dry well

 

The bodies were lifted out, body bags one by one

Some had been there a while others not so long

The latest had been strangled, the others well, they may

The state of the remains made it really hard to say

All five were young women, probably around eighteen of age

Though in some cases that was difficult to gauge

They searched the shack and the land around

Fingertip searches across the ground

 

The police pulled out all possible supports

The detective put a watch on all the ports

The killers name was Edwin Dee

He didn’t seem to have any family

Friends too were in short supply

Only a few knew him well enough to say hi

And most of them would happily avoid him if they can

He was described as abrupt, rude and threatening man

 

But the police were not talking about who, why or how

It was Where he was was the important thing now

They had searched every corner and turned every stone

Had posted policeman outside his home

But despite the policeman doing all that they could

Nobody noticed the eyes watching from the wood.

 

 

Legacy:

 

He watched in anger as the police moved around his land

How they had found him, he didn’t understand

He’d been so careful, but not, it seems, quite careful enough

And now they were in his house going through his stuff

He would have to move on, but here his ties were strong

All the beautiful women in the end had done him wrong

He thought about his new love, what would she have to say

Another bride to take away and on her wedding day

 

She sat outside looking at the moon,

Wondering if life was still worth living

If the pain of loss would leave her soon

Or be forever giving

She missed her friend, so simply said

But the emotions heaving deep inside

The man she now realised that she loved was dead

And something inside her had died

 

He swore as branches scratched his face

Cursing as he tried to retrace

His way back out of the wood

Nobody knew him, nobody understood

Nobody knew that all he wanted was to be needed

But in that he’d never succeeded

His life was all about rejection

A rare moment of introspection

 

She passed the kitchen knife from hand to hand

Ran her finger along the edge to the top

She knew no one would understand

But she knew that he would not stop

She had felt the obsession in the air

When she had caught him on the bus, staring

She knew he was somewhere, somewhere out there

She knew he was coming, unstoppable, uncaring

 

The detective awoke, his head in a whirl

The Girl he thought, we forgot about the Girl

He struggled up and reached for his phone

Need to get someone to watch her home

 

He parked the stolen car in front of her house

It’s time he thought, to collect my new spouse

He Picked up the bag ready on the seat

Time to Sweep her off her feet

 

She heard a car stop somewhere close on the street

Knew that this game was reaching a conclusion

Clutching the knife she got to her feet

Her head finally clear of confusion

 

He quietly walked around the back

Looking for a window, open just a crack,

Wanting to get in without too much commotion

Time to show her his devotion

 

She stood in the shadow watched and waited

For an opportunity to get close enough

Reminded herself it was a monster that he’d created

All would be over soon enough

 

He found a window that didn’t quite fit

Allowing him to open it

He stuck his head in to check all clear

So didn’t hear her coming near

 

The police sirens filled the night

Blue lights flashing cold and bright

 

A drop of blood on a silver blade

Her life forever nightmares of vengeance repaid

 

He lay face up on the cold ground

Eyes staring at the stars

He heard her sobs from all around

The slamming doors of cars

Even as his vision fading

Even as her scent pervading

Even then and for eternity

 

His obsession died and became his legacy
