Mr. Lindens Library

One stormy night in March 1910, Blake was in bed and had just finished reading his book that he had borrowed from the library. He was trying to stay awake but then he fell asleep. When he fell asleep he forgot to close the book.

Blake started to have nightmares about the monster in his book. Blake had never ever in his life been so frightened. For some reason, Blake just couldn't wake up because his body and brain had already shut down. Soon he was able to wake up, but when he did, he could see that the book was turning back pages rapidly. Then suddenly it came to a stop. He ran out of his bedroom and screamed.

His father Gary, and his mother, Katrina said, “What is wrong with you?” Blake was trying to say that the book came to life, but his mum and dad were just saying “That is ridiculous, a book can’t come to life!”

So his father said, "I will take you back up to bed." But Blake said, No, I can't come upstairs into my room because there's a monster there.” So dad said, "I will go up there with you so that the monster can't bite you. Katrina then laughed. Blake said, "It's not funny, there actually is one there and I am really scared."

Then Gary grabbed Blake by the arm and took him up the stairs. When Gary got up there he screamed and called, “Katrina!” Katrina said, “What's wrong Gary?” Gary replied and said, "The monster jumped out Logan’s window and took all our other kids.” Katrina said "Don't be ridiculous! No, not you too, Gary?”

When Katrina came into Logan’s room, the window was open and Josh, Mia, Logan and Keira were all gone.

Blake, Gary and Katrina all ran downstairs and grabbed the phone to call the police. The police said, “We’re on the way! We will look out for the monster and the four kids.”

Then Katrina, Gary and Blake jumped into the car and drove off in search of the kids. When they were about 200 metres down the road, the car stopped. Gary thought, “What happened to the car?” Then he looked at the fuel and said, "What happened to our petrol?"

Gary got out of the car and looked back down the road. He saw that there was petrol all over the road and a hole in the car. The monster must've done it.

Gary said, "We will just have to do our search on foot. We shouldn't split up. We should just stay together and search so that we don’t lose Blake as well."

So Gary, Katrina and Blake started the search for their missing kids. They looked for over one hour and it was twelve thirty in the night. Katrina said, "I give up. We will have to just have a memorial for all of them." Then Gary said, "We can't give up. They’re our kids, so let’s get serious."

Katrina said, "Blake, where would the monster have taken the kids?" Blake said, "I think that the place that the monster took my brothers and sisters to would be the last place we would look - the athletics track.”

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">So Katrina, Gary and Blake set off on a long trip to the athletics track. When they were about 100 metres away Gary said, ''We need to brace ourselves. We don't know where the monster is or what he might do to us or the kids.''

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">When they finally got there, they could see javelins flying from the javelin run up, but no person. Then they noticed that it was going so fast and far that it was going to hit them so they ran to take cover and hide. Then they saw another and another. They just kept coming and coming. Finally they heard a voice. It was coming from the announcing room, on the other side of the track. It was the monster!

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">The monster then appeared on the javelin run up and he had the kids. Gary screamed out, "Give us back our kids!" But all the monster did was ignore him like he hadn't said anything.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Then they walked closer to the monster. They noticed that its head was covered in plants. As they approached the monster, his hands rose up and then they flung down. Suddenly poison ivy came in vines and whipped Katrina and Gary. The monster got Gary in the face and he got Katrina in the neck. Her neck started to peel open and then little plant monsters came out of there. Gary’s face was bleeding so much that you would think he was a blood monster. <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Katrina screamed!

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Blake didn't know what to do. His mum and dad were severely injured and all his brothers and sisters had been kidnapped. The first thing he did was just run as fast as he could to the sack where his brothers and sisters were captured in. <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">When Blake got there, the monster had anticipated his move, and was there waiting for him. The monster threw Blake backwards, than clicked his fingers and his sack was gone.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Blake was badly injured but he had to help his parents. So, in a struggle, he got up and then walked over to his dad and untied the poison ivy from him. But Gary couldn't get up as he was too injured. Then when Blake came over to his mum, she was either way to scared or shocked. She was just lying on the floor as Blake untied her, so Blake just let her rest.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Soon they all just fell asleep. After a disastrous day they were all tired. Eventually they woke up but it was one o'clock in the afternoon the next day so then they again called the police.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">The police had a big talk with Blake’s parents. Eventually they put posters all over the world trying to find Josh, Logan, Mia and Keira. <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Ten days had passed and there was no sign of the monster or the kids.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Gary, Katrina and Blake were getting sick of waiting so they spent all their money to go on a round the world trip. They had nearly gone around to every country. When they came to China, they saw someone running away from the crowd with a sack and a gun. Gary, Katrina and Blake sprinted after him.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">When they got to him they got the sack and unwrapped, it. The whole crowd booed and the police came and got them. Blake and his parents were wondering why they were going to jail for trying to get their kids. They didn't realize that it was actually the Chinese festival and the man with the sack and the gun was just one of the performers in the festival.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">When Gary, Katrina and Blake got out of jail, they immediately left China and went to America. In America they stayed at a little house on a small block of land. It was called the Party Hotel.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Soon they saw a poster of the kids and the monster so they quickly grabbed it and walked around saying, “Have you seen these kids?” No one had a clue where they were until they came up to a big, strong man. He said, “I saw a big monster. He told the kids he was going to kill them tonight at seven o'clock at the footy field.”

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">So at seven o'clock, Blake and his parents went to the footy field. They were looking around and couldn't see anyone. Then Katrina screamed!

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">The big, strong man they had spoken to earlier on in the day was there and had a knife. He was holding Katrina by the neck and was in the position to chop her head off. Gary said, "Give her back! Why did you lie to us?" The man said, "I was just joking and I will kill her unless you give me all of your money.”

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">But then mum kicked him in the shin and ran off. He lost his gun so Blake picked it up and held it in front of the big man. Then Blake shot him in the skull. He was dead.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Blake walked back to the hotel with his parents and went to bed. When they woke up they started their trip back to Australia, they were going home.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Gary decided to have one last search at the old factory in Taren Point for his four missing children. When Gary, Katrina and Blake arrived at the factory, they walked in but the door was a trap door. As soon as they walked in they walked straight into poison ivy and they got stuck in it. It was poisoning them.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Then they saw the monster. He said, "I will kill your children at the Sylvania Waters athletics track, bye."

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">The monster clicked his fingers and he was gone. Blake and his parents were trying to get out of the poison ivy but they couldn't. Luckily Blake kept the gun he stole in America.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">When he tried to shoot the plants it didn’t work so he had to think of another way. Luckily Gary remembered that it was an old birthday cake factory and he saw a knife so he stretched out and grabbed it. He now had the knife so he tried cutting it and it worked. When they got out of the poison ivy Blake, Katrina and Gary went back to their house.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">They were sitting around the camp fire thinking what place the monster might have taken the kids this time. Gary said, “How about we go back to the athletics track?” So they came to the athletics track but no one was there. <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Next they went to the touch field because the monster seemed to be going to Blake’s family’s favorite sports. So they went there but then when they got there the monster wasn’t there either.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Katrina, Blake and Gary went back to their house. They opened the door and suddenly Gary stopped. Blake said, “What’s wrong?” Then Gary said, “Take a look for yourself.”

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">When Blake saw what had happened he was in shock. He dropped to the ground and started crying. Their house had been destroyed. Gary then said, “Who could’ve done this to our house?” Then Katrina looked up at Gary and said, “Really, who else other than the monster would’ve done this?”

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Soon Katrina called the police. The police asked everyone in the suburb if they knew anything about this. In the meantime Blake, Katrina and Gary didn’t have a home to live in. They went up to Katrina’s sister’s house only two streets away.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">When they were at the door they rang the door bell. When the door opened Katrina said, “Can you please let us stay at your house for two weeks?” Her sister said, “Of course you can stay at my house if your house has been destroyed.”

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">So Katrina, Gary and Blake had few sleeps there and started to feel comfortable there. Blake was having a wonderful time at his aunt’s house. Soon it was time to leave because the builders had already rebuilt their house so they went back home.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Blake had completely forgotten about his brothers and sisters. So when Gary said, “We’re going to the athletics track to investigate.” Blake said “What are you talking about?’’ Gary said, “Remember, you were reading a book then you fell asleep. When you woke up there was a monster coming out of the book.” Then Blake said “Oh, now I remember.”

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">When Katrina, Blake and Gary got to the track they noticed that the track was trashed like a dump and the monster was there with a gun, chainsaw, jackhammer and a pocket knife all next to the bag with the kids.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Gary and Katrina sprinted as fast as they could to try and get to the other side of the track. They were running as fast as they could but it was already a bit too late. The reason was because the big ferocious monster had already grabbed Josh out of the sack with the kids.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">The monster also had already summoned all of his little plant minions to grab Katrina and Gary and tie them down on the floor with a vine. Gary was trying his hardest to break through the vine but the vine was very tight and strong.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Soon the monster came up to Katrina and Gary and said, “Which weapon should I use to kill your eldest son with?” Gary said, “How about you don’t use any weapon and don’t kill him.”

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">As soon as Gary said that, the vine electrocuted him and the monster said, “Every time you don’t answer me, the plant will electrocute you.” Katrina said, “Whatever you do, don’t tell him anything.” Then Katrina got electrocuted.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Soon the monster said, “If you won’t tell me I’ll choose it myself.” He went over and looked at the weapons and said, “How about we start off by using a chainsaw? He grabbed the chainsaw and told his minions to hold Katrina and Gary up so they can see their son get killed.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">So out of the bag with the kids he grabbed Josh. He then said, “Any last words for your son?” But Gary and Katrina were too scared and speechless to say anything. They had their heads down and their eyes closed. <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Then the monster stood him on the grass with special grass shoes that make you stick to the grass and tied him up with a rope. Then he fired up the chain saw so it was moving around fast. He swung it back and came through and chopped Josh’s head off. All blood came trickling down and Josh dropped down to the ground. His head rolled off and hit mum and dad. Blood covered a whole square metre around Josh with Josh dead.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Then Gary and Katrina started crying. The monster didn’t care at all. He just said, “Who should I kill next?” Then he said, “That’s the one I will kill, the second eldest Blake!”

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Then with his magic powers the monster made Blake get stuck in a bubble and with his magic, pulled the bubble to back to him. Then the monster said, “What weapon should I use to kill Blake? Maybe I’ll use a pocket knife and stab him in the heart.” <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Then he grabbed Blake and stabbed him but Blake just screamed and started crying. The monster got the chainsaw and cut open his skin and grabbed out his heart. Blake was dead. He dropped to the ground.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Then the monster said, “You can have the rest of your kids. Good luck for your funeral guys.” The monster released Katrina and Gary. Then the monster clicked his fingers and left.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Katrina went over and picked up Josh while Gary picked up Blake. Then they left Blake and went over to the sack and let their kids out.

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 32px;">Gary and Katrina went home with the kids, Blake and Josh. They arranged a funeral for Blake and Josh. They buried them under the ground next to each other. It was a really sad time at the funeral with such young children being killed. <span style="color: #00b050; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 40px;">THE END
