“Helloooooooooo!”
The echo of his voice came back to taunt him as if a group of boys were mimicking his greeting, each with less boldness that the last. The final echo was deadened and the silence which followed seemed deafening in his ears.
The sound had been dulled by the absolute blackness of the cave which totally engulfed him. He could see nothing, not even his own hands in front of his face. The silence was terrifying along with the certain knowledge that he was completely alone in this dark dark place. It was bitterly cold, for no sunlight ever penetrated these thick walls of rock. He shivered and tried to think himself warm. It had been madness to leave his friends and go off on his own. He wanted to pinch himself and wake up from this nightmare but was rooted to the spot as if frozen.
Mentally pulling himself together he shuffled forward. A scuffed stone rolled and tumbled and he was sure he heard it drop. Then he heard a different sound – a faint noise which filled him with hope. He scrabbled on the ground for another loose stone wanting confirmation, and, finding one, he sent it firmly forward, this time with more momentum. Riccochet and then silence as his hope and the stone travelled unseen and then… there it was… a very faint splosh. He knew what that meant.

He could sense the cliff before him. Just over the edge he was guessing was a bottomless pit leading to water, he had no idea of how deep the drop would be. Before Jason could stop himself he jumped……………………..
He landed with a painful SPLASH!” Jason was magically alive and unharmed, he felt himself being pulled down. He looked around his surroundings, he was in the dark depths of the cave’s waters. He felt himself sinking and sinking. Suddenly it stopped and he was on the cave’s seabed. He couldn’t hold his breath any longer, he opened his mouth and astonishingly he took in a breath of fresh air………. He was breathing normally. Then a thought came to Jason, how would any of his friends find him here, at the bottom of the seabed? But more importantly how was he breathing? Jason had many questions. Then out of the blue he saw a light so bright he had to shield his eyes, the light slowly died down.
“Your breathing? Thank god my magic worked”
“Who are you?” Jason questioned as he reluctantly opened his eyes and saw…………

HIDE! He hid behind a small gap between a rock and a secret doorway. He went through the secret doorway by falling into it when he heard the faint noise coming closer. Then he saw a clown rocking on a chair. The clown had blood on his face. The clown stared down at the boy. Then, suddenly, the clown started to talk gibberish to the boy. The boy started to run but there was nowhere to go. So he ran at a wall instead and fainted… The boy woke up shivering in an abandoned hospital! He started to walk around the hospital; when he visited the room next to him he saw the clown! The clown wrote in blood ‘smidvarg’. He saw a group of clowns eating dead children. The flesh was dark-red! Suddenly, they frantically started surrounding him…his heart was hammering in his chest. What was he going to do? “HELP!!” Shouted the boy. He ran out the building but clowns were surrounding him. He couldn’t escape, he was finished, he was over and done with…

But then it came to him. Maybe it was all a dream? Where was he? He felt something soft and comfortable placed on his head. His eyes opened to the light of a bright candle. He could feel the warmth of it close up to his face. Staring down at him was a ginger haired girl with eyes as green as emeralds.
“Finally your awake, I’ve been waiting for hours” She poured a brown icky substance into a brass cup beside him. It looked revolting.
“Drink up, it will make you feel better” Her face seemed somehow familiar. He took seconds to think about it but still couldn’t figure it out.
“A simple thank you would be appreciated” Jason stared at her as if he didn’t want to. She knew just knew what was going on through his head.
“No not the medicine, when I saved your life with a touch of magic,” she said in frustrated tone of voice,” my name is Isla by the way” Jason spluttered his name as if it was a stranger to him. There was a long silence. He picked up the cup and took a sip. His body immediately rejected it and it got spat back into the cup. Isla snapped a look at him as if to say: Don’t be so ungrateful, you should be glad that you’re being looked after. Jason flinched. Something poured out of her hands. It looked like fog. An odd blue fog. It blasted into the air.

The lonely boy was trespassing through the eerie cave when he came across the silhouette of something strange: a burly man. Instantly, he ducked behind a bolder. Gradually, more brawny men appeared. They discussed something that Jack (Indeed, he went by the name of Jack Jerry) could only understand in bits.

“…try and dig out a massive space for this bomb… everyone’s gonna think Germany’s attacking once we launch our warning on TV… gold’ll be as good as ours.”

Jack realized that the sounds he had heard earlier where despicable miners trying to rob the world’s biggest bank…

“Ow!” Screamed a peculiarly squeaky voice. “Curse this blooming cave! Anybody who is here decides to drop a stone on top of my head!”
“Whatcha doing down there then?” Michael asked. Yes, the boy’s name was indeed Michael. The owner of the mysterious voice rose up above the surface of the water. Michael gasped-which was a bad idea because the cave was sealed, and air was in short supply. A lumpy, distorted and mahogany head was attached to an equally lumpy, distorted and mahogany body. “Crikey! That’s one gnarly face!” Exclaimed Michael.
“It’s what you get if travellers throw rocks at your face.”
“How many have…erm…dented your face?”
“Two, one was you, and the other was a lost old dear on ‘er way to get some alphabetti spaghetti. Ayre, bless ‘er. I showed ‘er the way: she was utterly perplexed,” said the monster. “Oh, and my name is Glee. Seymour Glee.” Michael sniggered at this. Just then there was a loud bang and a clanging noise; like pans being dropped on the kitchen floor.

Little did they know that the noises were notoriously despicable robbers who had broken into the world’s biggest bank, and Michael and Seymour were directly underneath the action…

I faintly heard someone saying “are you ok, what's wrong” I slowly opened my eyes thinking that Isla was going to be there with a warm cup of tea but then I saw my mom holding a warm cup of water. I said ”Mom? what are you doing here”.She told me “what do you mean I was cooking dinner for you Jason” My mom left the room patiently I had the strongest headache. My mind went spinning and spinning around. I was relieved. I slowly walked outside my room whilst holding on to my surrounding I sat in the couch thinking about what happened, ‘was it a dream?’ I tried to explain to my mom about what happened, she gave me a hug, and told me “Honey, it was all a dream” she also said “I wondered why you where over there moving and screaming in your bed” I went back to my room and saw a letter that said “Hi Jason! It's me Isla, remember me? You saw me in your dream, remember? I hope you feel better and you're not confused about what happened!" It was a mystery that was never solved I didn't see Isla, I didn't see the clowns, I didn't see Michael, and Seymour what happened to them?
