Pandora

Sitting in the classroom, Bella stared out of the transparent window, watching the rain dance down from the clouds. Suddenly, the rain began to fall heavier and heavier, the clouds bashing and banging together. In no time at all, hail stone began to crash against the roof. Children started to scream and before Bella could move, she was struck by lightning. The next time Bella opened her eyes, she was in an absolutely different place…

Standing up, Bella could feel the dampness of the air, and noticed the vines and roots draping down from the collosal trees. Never had she seen anyhting so radiant: the colourful plants, strangely beautiful animals, glistening waterfalls and much more. Everything seemed to be connected  in this unique wonder. It was a wonder of the universe. A breeze hit Bella’s face and she knew that this world was amazing. She wanted to explore this adventurous world however, some creatures weren’t that impressed…

Frozen with fear, Bella stood silently, waiting for the animal to pounce. Thoughts streaming through her head: Will I make it?, What am I going to do?, Should I run?, Should I stay? AAGH! Staring at Bella, eyes the size of the Pandora moon followed her round, wherever she went. Bella could see its legs twitch, its eyes open and close. Before she knew it, her body took over. There was only one thing to do now, RUN! The animal leapt forward toward her and started to sprint after Bella. Looking behind her, Bella ran faster. She could se a cliff in the distance. Stopping suddenly, Bella stepped aside and let the creature run straigth ahead, off the cliff, down,down,down. At that moment, Bella tripped over a rock and fell into a crystal clear waterfall. Soaking wet, Bella clambered to the side of the waterfall and heaved herself up however, something was holding her back…

Tired of pulling, Bella gave up and just floated on the surface of the water. Suddenly, she heard a loud noise coming from beneath her. Bubbles formed around her furthermore, she was lifted up from the water on a manavora’s head, (one of the fiercest animals in Pandora). Viciously, the manavora shook Bella off its head and called for its army. In a matter of minutes, an army of manavoras surrounded Bella. She could see a gap in between the animals legs where she could escape. Cautiously, Bella tip-toed over to the gap, sprinted through it and ran as fast as she could, towards a root. As soon as they noticed, the manavora’s charged after her. Gasping for breath, Bella found a hole in an immense rock and hid there until the animals had passed. Never had she been so petrified. Soon, she crept out and found herself face to face with amuch fiercer animalthen the manavora – the dactteroid.

Petrified, Bella stood, her feet unable to move, like they were glued to the grassy ground. The dactteroid glared at Bella with menecing eyes, knowing that she was a threat. Within two minutes, Bella was out of the way and once again running. Following quickly, the dactteroid sped after bella, hoping he would catch her. Soon,  Bella found herself at a dead end so, she jumped up and held on to a mossy vine. Suddenly, the vine began to swing. Bella held on with all her might, but began to slip, down and down. Crying for help, Bella fell off a cliff and luckily landed in a portal. Bella knew she was going back to Heathfield Primary however, Pandora was still all she could see!
