Death Island

Do you have the courage to read this book? I don’t think you do. Come and explore the life of Ben, Harry and Sally, for Death Island awaits you.

RRRING!!! “Oh!” Ben said as he woke up on a sunny morning. His alarm clock had been set for a certain time, 6.30am. He jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. He opened the door to the pantry and got out a box of cereal. It was Chocolate Puffs, he always ate them for breakfast. He ate them quickly. When he had finished he filled the sink with warm water and soap. He got his bowl and washed it until it shone. Finally he dried the bowl and put it in the cupboard. He went upstairs and brushed his teeth. Next, he got dressed and went downstairs to make his lunch for school.

He practiced his timetables and then watched T.V. His mother had just woken up from a tough sleep. You see, Ben has a baby sister who always cries at night. Poor Mrs. Albert. She had been awake for the whole night, trying to get baby Betty asleep. She finally found out that Betty had done an “ Accident” in her diaper. And that’s why Betty couldn’t get to sleep because she was so uncomfortable. Ben told his mom that he would be leaving to go pick up Sally and Harry at 8.30. Sally and Harry were Ben’s best friends. They had known each other since they were in Kindergarten. Soon, it was 8.30 and Ben raced out of the door with his backpack. Harry lived the closest to Ben so he got picked up first. Harry was waiting outside his house on the sidewalk.

“ Hi Ben! Dude you look a bit funny. Are you O-Kay?” Harry said to Ben as he approached his house. He answered, “ I’m fine. Oh, and how are you?” Ben asked.
“ I’m good. Let’s go get Sally. You know how fussy she is when were late!”
“ I know!” Ben said to Harry.

Harry and Ben set off to Sally’s house. They saw her come rushing up to them.

“ Hey guys! Let’s get to school!” Sally said to Ben and Harry puffed out. Ben and Harry looked at each other in a funny look. It was only 8.35. Sally seemed in a big rush. Ben shrugged and hurried to school.
“ There’s a new book coming out called DEATH ISLAND!” Sally told them.
“ Cool!!” Harry said and looked at Ben raising his eyebrows.
“ Oh come on Harry you can’t force someone to play along with your silly plan to pretend to be interested.” Sally said rolling her eyes.

“How did she know my plan?” Harry whispered to Ben. Ben shrugged again keeping quiet. He was thinking about that book called DEATH ISLAND. When they got to school, Sally put a finger to her lips to say, “ Keep quiet”. They did what she said and kept quiet. She gave them a sign to follow her. They did the same. They followed very move of Sally’s, until they were in the janitor’s office. The janitor was Sally’s big brother who was 22. He was young but friendly. He handed the book to Sally.
“ Thanks bro!” she told him sweetly.

Harry rolled his eyes. He looked at Ben. Ben did the same. He rolled his eyes. Sally took the book and her brother John opened a secret door. They went in. It was a place with a candle surrounded by cushions. John lit the candle and sat on a cushion. They did the same and sat down on a cushion. Sally opened the book. As soon as she read the first word they were all sucked into the book! It’s hard to believe but it really happened. This is the time to put down the book. I warned you!

Anyway back to the story. Ben, Harry, Sally and John woke, and they were on an island. A land not on the map. They were on a mysterious island.

“ Where are we?” Sally asked sounding really scared.
“ No Idea! But it sure is freaky!” Harry said taking pictures all around. You see, Harry always brings his camera everywhere he goes.
“ Oh shut-up Harry!” Sally snapped. She was scared. And she did not want Harry making stupid jokes at this time.
“ Ohhh! Something stinks! You farted Harry!” Ben said giggling and holding his nose at the same time.
“ No I didn’t! Sally did!” Harry said laughing his head off.
“ Stop fooling around. But I agree! Somebody make an accident in his or her pants. They all turned to John.

“Don’t look at me!” John said. He turned around. He bumped into something. Sally stood mouth open really wide. She screamed, “ MONSTER!!!!”
“Ahhhhhh!!!” Harry yelled.
“RUN!!!” Ben shouted. And John nearly fainted from the shock, but kept running next to Sally.

They started running as fast as they could, but the beast was catching up. They were running and watching the beast trail behind them when they fell down a deep hole. “WHOAH” they all screamed as they went whipping down the hole. They finally were at the ending. They noticed that they were in a different part of the mysterious island. But then Sally yelled, “ Where’s my brother John!!” It echoed all around. Ben and Harry finally found out that John was missing. Then the bushes started to move. And out of the bushes came John. But he wasn’t himself. He was a…a…ZOMBIE!!!! I know you wouldn’t believe this but it was true. To prove it he was walking around with one arm, green face and was chanting, “ I am a zombie, I am a zombie.” There, do you have enough proof?! Sally screamed, Ben yelled, “ I want my mommy”, and Harry was saying, “ Cool!!” and started to take pictures. Ben started to cry and Sally Slapped him in the face saying, “ Pull yourself together boy!!”

But as they were too busy slapping each other John the zombie lurked closer. I down, 3 to go. Suddenly they heard a scream. It was not them. They started to run away from John and run towards the scream. They got closer and closer until they were lured to a spooky cave. Sally heard chanting of I am a zombie again and pulled Harry and Ben down, behind a rock. As soon as Harry was about to ask Sally why she pulled them behind the rock he saw a whole trail of zombies coming out of the inside of the cave. Ben put his hand over his mouth to stop him from making a sound. But no one told Harry to be quiet he started taking pictures and saying, “ Beautiful darlings you’re looking great!” he tried to sound like one of those dumb camera men when they’re taking pictures of models.

The zombies ignored him until he took a picture with a big flash. Their eyes grew wide and turned to their direction. “ Oh no!” Sally said she grabbed them both and ran to the exit of the cave. But zombies were coming from all over! They didn’t know what to do!

They were everywhere, everywhere I tell you! Not a single spot to run. And they were coming closer, closer and closer! “ This is it guys!” Harry said rubbing his eyes with a handkerchief.
“ No it isn’t. I mean not for you guys!” Sally said sobbing.
“ What do you mean?” Ben asked sounding really scared. But sally didn’t answer all she did was wink at Ben and she stepped forward, Ben Saluted to her and all the Zombies crept forward and took a bite of poor Sally. “ Here’s our chance to get out of here!” they ran out of the cave safely, and as they were running they heard a scream.

They held their heads low in dismay. 2 down, 2 to go. They wandered in the forest a while. Luckily they had their bags for school and got their lunches out. They nibbled on their food because there was still a long way to go. They were walking through the jungle type forest when they saw a girl that was dressed in rags hiding behind a rock. They finally saw her teeth and noticed she was a vampiress. She started to hiss. She kept on doing it. Harry whispered to Ben nervously and said, “ This is freaky. What would Sally do in a situation like this?” Ben answered, “ I don’t know! Lets just RUN!!”

They ran through the forest with the vampiress on their trail. They soon ran out of breath. Ben stopped, and the Vampiress tried to bite him but her teeth luckily didn’t get through his shirt to bite into the flesh that she needed to drink. As soon as she tried to bite him he pushed her to the ground and started to run again. When they had ran as much as 400m they stopped behind a tree and caught their breath. “ Phew! That was close!” Harry said really tired from all that running. Ben struggled to stand up. “ What was that?” Ben asked, “ I heard it again!” Ben said looking all around wandering about trying to figure out what made the sound. “ Well I didn’t here it.” Said Harry following Ben around like a puppy. “ I heard some singing. Hey there’s some water. We can take a sip from it to keep our energy.” Ben said, following the sound of the sweet music.

They finally reached the river and began sipping. Ben took a sip and when he bent down to sip some more water he saw a pretty girl swimming in it. It was a siren. A siren made men (including all boys) fall in love with their beauty and singing and lure them in the ocean and drown them. They started to sing. Ben got carried away with it. Harry had taken a small sip and then went into a flower field. He thought he’d be funny by stuffing flowers in his ears. “Hey look at me Ben” Harry said stupidly. But Ben was too carried away with the singing and nearly fell into the water. “ Hey Ben…hello…Ben can you hear me?” Harry said waving his hand in front of Ben’s face trying to get Ben back into focus. But it didn’t work, he just kept creeping forward to the river. Harry held him back from falling in. He put some flowers in his ears to see if it would stop him from acting weird. As soon as Harry put the flowers in Ben’s ears he snapped back to focus. They both were confused and left the river and took their bags.

They took the flowers out of their ears and put them in their bags just encase of any other weirdness. They came to a place where they found a peaceful river and checked if there were any sirens in there (Just to be safe.) they got some wood and big leaves so they could build a small shelter because it was starting to rain. They made a frame out of the wood and covered the empty spaces with thousands of leaves. They got their coats and put them on the bottom of the shelter so they could lie on it. They got in it and got math homework out to do, since they had nothing else to do. The rain stopped and they continued to walk through mud and water. It was torture! They finally reached the ocean.

They were building a boat when a poor man came running to them. He said, “ Cannibals! Cannibals!” He screamed and ran back into the forest. Harry looked at Ben and shrugged. But the old man was right. As they were about to sail away a big crowd of Cannibals was running to get them. Ben screamed and ran out of the boat, but Harry didn’t. He kept sailing away. He saw them chase after Ben and capture him. Harry held his head low in dismay for Ben and Sally were gone. The sailboat sailed peacefully through the sea. But a couple of hours later he saw a boat following him. He yelled to it saying, “ HELP! HELP!” and the boat came closer and closer. As soon as he saw who was driving it he screamed. It was Sally. But it somehow was not herself. She was a zombie. And behind her was John the zombie as well!
