My Anthology story: In a rush
As the lunch bell rang, Boil was lying on the floor crying.
“Ow,” Boil wept as George helped him up off the floor.
“Are you ok?” George waited a moment for a reply. Boil wouldn’t reply. As they walked into the classroom looking sheepish. Mr. Lawl knew they were going to be late again. “Your late. But Boil had to lie or he would get beaten up like he was a little cushion getting beaten up by a blighted 3 year old.
“Why are you bleeding?” MR. Lawl said suspiciously.
“Oh, um,” Boil peeped at the bully, Rex. The most fierce, tough, angry kid bully in the school. “I fell off the..um.. off the tennis nets..yeah the tennis nets.”
“What were you doing on the tennis nets?” Mr. Lawl looked at him with a confused expression.
“We were..um jumping over them..,” Boil said trying not to let Mr.lawl get suspicious.
That afternoon Boil saw Rex beating up another kid and stealing his pocket money. He was about to stand up to Rex, but he mumbled to himself, “There’s no way I’m going to help that kid. One day of getting beat up is enough.” So he tried to walk by looking invisible so that Rex wouldn’t see him. Rex who was oblivious kept beating up the poor kid. He started to run when Rex saw him turn the corner. But Boil looked behind him and bumped into a midget. He was about half the size of Mr. Lawl and Mr. Lawl was short for his age. As Boil started to apologise the midget got furious. He went on about how you should be careful while running. The midget wouldn’t let Boil get past and so Rex caught up. Rex seemed angrier then what he usually looked.
” Pardon me There’s a bully chasing me so can you please move!” Boil screamed.
“Ah, why didn’t you say so. I’ll teleport us from here to my lair so he can’t get you,” the stranger said. Boil thought for a second. “A lair?” Boil was eager to see this so called lair of this midget.
But the lair that he spoke of was just a a normal house with big space and weird pictures and bottles of potions and glasses that were bubbling. Boil stepped into the cold mysteries house of the stranger
“I am martin, magic Martin,” he introduced himself. But Boil wasn’t listening. He was just inquisitive of how Martin teleported.
“Hello, kid,” The wizard said trying to get Boils attention.
“Oh my gosh. How did you do that. It was so awesome” Boil was still amazed
“I told you. I am magic Martin a wizard!” Martin bellowed.
Boil realised that Martin was easily tempered. As Martin showed Boil around his house, Rex was getting fed up of chasing Boil so he would beat Boil up once and for good at school tomorrow. Boil kept on going about how he has to get homes because he’s got a assiment due and he needs to work on it. But Martin wont let him go.
“Martin, I have to go home,” Boil was as annoyed as a raging tornado blowing a city down. So, when Martin wasn’t looking Boil ran for his life. As boil reached the door he ran and when he looked back he saw Martin looking like he was about erupt on the cold footstep of the strange looking house. Boil blinked and Martin was gone. That next day at school when the bell rang for lunch. Boil went to find Rex, so Boil could tell him something amazing.
“Hey, Rex” Boil called
“Funny you, coming to me instead of me coming to you. That makes it easier to beat you up.”
“Before you beat me up I want you to come with me,” Boil started to quiver.
So Rex started to follow Boil around the play ground until he reached the school gates.
“What! You want you to leave the school with you? Pathetic. Who would leave school with you?!?!” Rex screamed.
“Shhhh! The teachers will come!” Boil said started to become braver and braver against Rex. Boil and Rex travelled up the hill to Martins house.
“Why have you taken me here?” Rex asked
“This is the house of a magician,” Boil said firmly
As Boil and Rex started to head inside the gate. Boil knocked on the door and Martin opened the door. Martin greeted them in with silence.
“So, Boil tells me your a wizard. Pathetic I think!” Rex said like he was the king of the world.
“I am a wizard. The names Martin. I’ll prove it. I’ll teleport both of you into that painting.”
“Ok then, do it,” Rex said feeling very confident. Martin pulled out a staff swing it around saying. There was a green flash of light, and they found them self in the painting.
” Why are you in such a hurry Martin?” asked Rex
“Because you only have a limited amount of time!!!!” Martin screamed as if he was a lion roaring for his life.
” WHAT!!!!!!!!!! HOW LONG DO WE HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Boil bellowed at Martin. Boil felt as if he was going to rip Martins arms apart.
“You have about 3 hours.” Suddenly there was a roar in the dull, quivering place.
“Aggh what was that!!!!!!!” Boil and Rex shouted in fear. Boil cling-ed to Rex. Boil hid behind Rex as he shone pale.
“Why is there a roar in the picture. It’s a picture there’s not supposed to be a roar in the picture,” Boil asked
“I’m…I’m,” Rex thought for a second. “I mean. COOL let’s go find out what it is!” Rex said with a shrieking voice.
As they went on to find out what that roar was, Boil was admiring the tree he saw a figure in it. He looked closer and he stopped moving to get a better look at it. He saw the figure getting bigger and bigger. Then he realised that it was heading for them.
“RUN!!!!!!!!!” Boil shrieked. The figure was still black, Boil and Rex couldn’t see it till it revealed itself.
“NO! I thought they were extinct,” Rex mumbled to himself. The figure was a sabertooh tiger.
Boil stopped and stared with out moving, as Rex ran for his life. He looked back and Boil wasn’t moving
” Boil come on,” Rex shouted. But Boil wouldn’t move. Rex did a full-on rugby tackle on the tiger but got scratch. Boil saw this happening and thought, “should I help. I might get killed though.” Boil suddenly jumped on the tigers head and sat on it. But for a skinny boy like Boil it didn’t work. SO he just tried to get hold of the teeth. After the battle Boil and Rex had lots scratches and grazes. Boil and Rex won. Rex started to give a friendly nudge at Boil.
“Thanks for helping. I appreciate it.” Boil was amazed. But he wouldn’t talk. He clenched his hand on his shoulder.
” Ow, ow,” he started to cry. Rex helped him up and walked silent for a long way
” Were are we Martin?” said Boil trying to reach Martin. Martin fell asleep on the leather, squelchy chair. Boil and Rex started to scream for Martin.
“Eh, who’s there. Oh right you two. How you doing?”
“We’re hurt but how long do we have?” Rex asked
“You about half an hour to find that crystal,” Martin said with out realising how long they have left.
“Quick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Martin started to bellow.
Rex and Boil looked everywhere. When suddenly Boil tripped over a root and fell onto some big grassy plains. He felt as if he was in heaven. But looked up and saw the the sun reflecting off the crystal stuck to the wall.
“REX!!” he yelled. Rex came over with a face as if he could read minds. He knew in that voiceit would be the crystal.
“Come. Let’s go get that gem” said Boil. But suddenly a huge dinosaur approached from the gem.
“NO! This picture is demented!. Tyrannosaurs are extinct!” Screamed Boil
“Split up. I’ll distract the Dinosaur and you get the gem!” Rex demanded
“NO! Wait!”but it was too late Rex had already started to distract the dinosaur. SO he ran to get the gem. The dinosaur hit Rex with his tail. The dinosaur saw Boil running. So he started to chase him up the plains. Rex saw Boil heading for the gem and he knew he didn’t have to help him too hurry up because Boil was one of the fastest in the school. He was like faster than a speeding bullet. So Rex headed for the Gem.
“HURRY UP YOU SLOW POKES YOU ONLY HAVE 30 SECONDS!” Screamed Martin telepathically.
Then they ran as fast as they could.
“15…….10… hurry up!! 1.” One second left and they made it. Martin thought they were stuck because the green flash of light happened again. But when it faded they we’re there.
“YES!!!!!!!!!, I knew you could do it!!!!!”screamed Martin.
“Yeah, right Martin” Rex said.
That next day at school George went to pick up Boil from the pitch. But he wasn’t there but when he looked back he saw Boil and Rex playing around with each other.
